This is the most basic teaching of Christianity. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. NO ONE comes to the Father except through me."

[jackloo]

I am in the process of becoming Catholic and I cannot stress enough that the current Pope has had little to nothing to do with my conversion.

[master_samwise]

If nothing else, events like these should remind us that we need to pray for our pope and all the Church’s leadership.

[matthewp]

You know it's bad when Trent feels like he has to call out Francis.

[_Zakariah]

As a non-Catholic outsider, it feels incredibly weird watching/hearing numerous people have to create multiple alternative meanings of Francis statement(s) for him to pick from.

[besseljm]

It’s not confusing. It’s heresy. Don’t water down what was said here.

[justhair]

I try to defend Pope Francis as much as possible, but these comments are insanely problematic

[valentinr.dominguez]

There was no confusion with what the Pope said. It is black and white. He repeated it when he returned to Rome. He doubled down.

[ora_et_labora]

When you say, ‘Oh, he was just speaking to a group overseas, nothing major, ’ that might be fine if he were talking about the best football team or even politics. But these comments are about the most important topic in the Christian faith: faith and salvation in Jesus. I want to think that when the Pope speaks on this, he should speak accurately.

[josephhaddas]

I said my first prayer for Pope Francis tonight after my rosary. I was watching a video about this today, and the person speaking said, "People are very quick to criticise the pope, but very few will pray for him."

Really spoke to me.

[Frzy]

He has since doubled down and said diversity of culture and religions are a gift from God...he needs to retire.

[VLE.--N]

"Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!” declares the LORD. Jer 23:1

[timjim]

Confusion is not a currency used by the Holy Spirit

[aldoism]

St. Paul rightfully criticized St. Peter, when he was wrong. it's good to criticize our Pope when he does something wrong (with charity).

EDIT: My comment was not permission to bash our Pope or invite rejection of church councils. Despite my opinion, our pope is still our pope, and we are still under his leadership, and I submit to the magisterium. Pleass Pray for him and our church.

[physicalgrafiti]

Imagine Jesus telling his followers that only through him can you receive salvation. Then telling a group of foreigners that their Gods are just as real as his Father and they will also receive salvation. Then his Apostles telling everyone "Oh dont worry guys...he was just speaking in an informal manner. Its not official doctrine."

[patricioiasielski]

As an argentinian this is twice as concerning, he constantly insist in supporting political parties that are responsibles for the demise of his own nation.

[DrChaunceyBlevins]

We don’t leave Christ because of Judas. Even if Francis gets worse, we stay the course. The faith will outlive him. He played no role in my conversion, but I hate to think that he is playing a role in someone’s reluctance to convert.

[Peakock-]

I think every thing the pope says should matter. This isn’t a game. He has a responsibility to all Catholics. He isn’t a Catholic apologist. He is the pope

[AlmostCatholic]

I am a brand new Catholic. Was a protestant pastor. Thank you for ur Vid. I was worried. You have put my heart at peace that I made the right decision to give up all to be Catholic 😊May God bless ur ministry.

[athanasiusofalexandria]

Anyone who is intellectually honest knows this is pluralism, which has been declared abject heresy. It takes intellectual gymnastics on an extraordinarily level to justify those comments.
