Jorge Bergoglio (a.k.a. “Francis”):
Jesus Christ:
Pope Francis insists that such antiquated concepts as Hell and punishment — even eternal and unimaginable suffering — cannot possibly be true! In fact he recently assured us that “No one can be condemned forever, because that is not the logic of the Gospel. Here I am not speaking only of the divorced and remarried, but of everyone, in whatever situation they find themselves” 1 “ Who, then, uttered this nonsense?” you demand.The answer, of course,
is Saint Mark. What is more, we reply, we have never so much as heard
of the Bible in terms of logical premises and conclusions, or Sacred
Scripture understood as so many syllogisms.

“See Jesus come. |
I hate to break it to you
and to offend your feminized sensitivities — and proclivities — but
Jesus was a man. Not Mr. Rogers, not Mrs. Doubtfire, and definitely
not a wimp. He was beaten, scourged, mocked, crowned with thorns, and
crucified — that is not the stuff of wimps. Or delicate men.
And, yes — He occasionally became angry!
It is recorded in and testified to in all four Gospels-that-are-not-textbooks-on-logic.
We believe it!
Not because you have arrived at a satisfactory truth-variable through
logic — but because God said so — in Holy Scripture. And because it
is what the Holy Catholic Church authentically teaches and has taught
for 2000 years. Because it makes sense! And because Christ is True God
and True Man! The Bible is not a Truth Table. It is the Living Word
of God. It is Truth, just as Christ is Truth Himself (Saint John 14.6)
— and most annoying to some, a truth at which you will never arrive
through propositional logic.
Only through Faith.
