Papal Notes - Francis must have missed Ezekiel 18 in his Bible Studies....

"Pope Francis declared that “sins of the flesh” are not as serious as
spiritual sins like pride or hatred, arguing that the latter have far greater consequences.

 

Speaking with journalists on his flight between Greece and Cyprus on Monday, the Holy Father addressed the recent resignation of Paris Archbishop Michel Aupetit after the French magazine Le Point alleged he had an intimate, consensual relationship with a secretary.

“I poorly handled the situation with a person who was in contact many times with me,” Aupetit said upon his resignation.

While Pope Francis acknowledged that the archbishop had failed “against the sixth commandment” (adultery), he believed the offense was not absolute, since the prelate was accused of  “small caresses” and massages."

Apparently Francis hasn't read Ezekiel 18 because God tells us The

soul that sinneth, it shall die. Ezekiel 18:20....doesn't seem to distinguish between "small caresses" of adultery or sins of Pride.....
