RIP Pope Francis | My Thoughts on the Papacy
Manage episode 478558423 series 3343098
Today, we’re discussing the recent passing of Pope Francis. As a Protestant, I don’t hold to Catholic doctrine, and I’ve had some serious theological issues with the papacy—but that doesn’t mean I won’t stop to reflect when someone steps into eternity.
In this episode, I’m praying for Pope Francis’ soul and hoping he had a deathbed conversion—because no one is beyond God’s reach. I also hope Catholics choose a biblical pope next time, not one more interested in pleasing the world than honoring the Word.
We’ll talk about the things he did right—his care for the poor and moments of humility. But we’ll also look at the dangerous things he got wrong:
- Promoting open borders that have devastated countries and erased tradition
- Saying all religions worship the same God (they don’t)
- Claiming the human heart is good (the Bible says it’s deceitful above all things)
- Ignoring original sin and the fallen nature of man
This is a respectful but honest take on a figure who meant a lot to many—but who, like all of us, needed Christ above all.
