He said that the death penalty should be eliminated which is a liberal fundamental idea, and that abortion is still a sin where people need to repent which is a conservative idea................. I still believe that the majority of the democratic party would believe that abortion should be illegal if most people would agree , as there are no vote in the minority ............... So saying the pope is liberal on this and conservative on that , and is not right or left means that the world is corrupt ............................. Where the extremism is when people cuts people head off to appease God , which is religious fundamentalism , and not being politically bias to the government is not extremism
Religious fundamentalism doesn't have to go to the point of decapitation. Religious fundamentalism would be literal belief in scripture, that only Christians go to heaven, denying science, and many other things where people think there is only one right way and everyone else is wrong.
Jesus was the most politically incorrect fundamentalist on the planet.........He plainly stated that HE was THE way, the TRuTH, and THE life..........there is nothing else and no other way you can be saved..........

Methinks the cardinals who elected Francis figured they were putting a care taker Pope in place.
Wrong.
He is bringing the Catholic church kicking and screaming into a modern era. Now, if the SBC and other fundies could have a similar "revelation", their denominations may slow their deterioration in numbers. I don't see that happening, as they all think that they are "right" and everyone else is not.
Heck, most of us atheists actually would applaud that, just as most applaud Pope Francis making the Catholic church as an institution actually meaningful to people.
Still think the whole god premise is wacka-a-doo nuts, but, hey, if it actually does some good and does no harm, bring it on.
The statement means that unless you are holier than Pope Francis you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. This means that Pope Francis will not enter the kingdom of heaven either.
How about narrowing it down to just what Jesus said?
