    I think it is great Pope Francis is doing this and it will help get people back to Church. I also wonder could he be doing this to help lessen any punishment or chastisement that may be coming our churches way, that he may know is on the way. Seeking forgiveness.

    Wow read the article and learnt that the Pope used the phrase 'self-absorbed promeathean nepelalagianism' in his recent encyclical! And he further adds that this is a manifestation of 'anthropocentric immmanentism'. And someone wrote that this was not an academic encyclical!!:whistle:

    What does "self-absorbed promethean neo-pelagianism" mean?
    It is phrase Pope Francis has used elsewhere but it appears again in Evangelii Gaudium
    94. This worldliness can be fuelled in two deeply interrelated ways. One is the attraction of gnosticism, a purely subjective faith whose only interest is a certain experience or a set of ideas and bits of information which are meant to console and enlighten, but which ultimately keep one imprisoned in his or her own thoughts and feelings. The other is the self-absorbed promethean neopelagianism of those who ultimately trust only in their own powers and feel superior to others because they observe certain rules or remain intransigently faithful to a particular Catholic style from the past. A supposed soundness of doctrine or discipline leads instead to a narcissistic and authoritarian elitism, whereby instead of evangelizing, one analyzes and classifies others, and instead of opening the door to grace, one exhausts his or her energies in inspecting and verifying. In neither case is one really concerned about Jesus Christ or others. These are manifestations of an anthropocentric immanentism. It is impossible to think that a genuine evangelizing thrust could emerge from these adulterated forms of Christianity.
