refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor
I don’t have a problem with anything he said. But this part requires qualification.
In today’s world, this could mean anything. And refrain could mean never saying anything that might offend.
The better advice would be to emphasize the LOVE in speaking the truth in love. And exercise restraint, discretion, wisdom, and kindness when choosing words (or whether to say anything at all and just smile.
Overall good advice though.

Only one direct reference to Scripture in this short little epistle:
quote:I'm glad those writings have Scripture in them. It would be good if the Pope drew people back to God's Word, though.
But also references to Church writings...that are loaded with Scripture.

How sad that the Pope is asking people to treat others decently as if that’s some exceptional act. The whole human race has gone feral.

I think he’s a fricking clown show. And I’m a Catholic.

Would that mean on Easter I get to binge out on cussing those I don’t like out?

Sure. Traditional proper decorum is the best way to go. Unfortunately this turn the other cheek business only goes one way. We aren't in the 50s anymore where a Democrat and Republican sat in the same pews. We are going against legit evil and demons, and they'll pounce on this, not return it in kind.
Democrats destroyed political decorum, so get with them to change their ways and then we can talk.

You people go feral against people who simple state scientific biological facts like there are only 2 sexes, and men can't get pregnant. Facts that have been known for the entire history of the world.
You people go extreme, and then whine about decorum in our society. Look at the 3 fingers pointing back at you, when pointing your 1.

Yep, you're in the spirit already.
Stating an observable fact is not slander ,rash judgement or speaking ill. The only thing harsh about it is that it’s the truth. Hence the old saying that sometimes the truth hurts. We are called to avoid gossip or creating dissension. Calling a spade a spade in general discussion is perfectly acceptable. Disagreement or calling attention to something is healthy. Only thing that was needed was a list of those facts to back up his assertion.

The latest captured leaders, One-Worder tool and Marxist Pope aiding and abetting Deception during these End Times:

Sounds like he’s speaking directly to the Democrats.
They have adopted a new vulgar approach.

"You people" as in people who support the evils that the left and Democrats bring us. Can't "conveniently" carve yourself out, when you clearly buy into the whole.
Just like I have to take the good, and bad of being on the Right.
