If the Catholic Pope is ok with these views, why do you think that they are in opposition to your "strict adherence to God's moral law"? I would guess that the Catholic Pope would know what is and what isn't in the Catholic view of "Gods Moral Law. After all, he's the CEO of the Church on earth.

‘Ideological Christians’ Are A ‘Serious Illness’ Within The Church
Quoted Text
Speaking at daily Mass, Pope Francis warned Christians against turning their faith into arigid ideology. “And ideology does not beckon. In ideologies there is not Jesus: in his tenderness, his love, his meekness. And ideologies are rigid, always. Of every sign: rigid."
“The faith becomes ideology and ideology frightens, ideology chases away the people, distances, distances the people and distances of the Church of the people,” Francis added. “But it is a serious illness, this of ideological Christians. It is an illness, but it is not new, eh?”

Now that the Pope appears to be more liberal, Boxy all of a sudden gives a fcuk what he says.
"Approval ratings go up and down for various reasons... An example is the high post 911 support for GWB even though he could be said to be responsible for the event." --- Box A Rox '9/11 Truther'
Melania is a bimbo... she is there to look at, not to listen to. --- Box A Rox and his 'War on Women'
Now that the Pope appears to be more liberal, Boxy all of a sudden gives a fcuk what he says.
The Pope is the leader of 2.250 billion Catholics world wide. I don't care much about his 'religious' views, but his social views of how we treat our fellow man is an important influence on his religion and other religions in general.
The Church can influence govt policy and political discussion, as we are doing right now. A more "Christ like' view of how we treat each other by an influential person is alway helpful.

Speaking at daily Mass on Monday, Pope Francis condemned "the worship of money".
Quoted Text
“It leads you to idolatry, it destroys your relationship with others. It’s not money, but the attitude, what we call greed. Then too this greed makes you sick, because it makes you think of everything in terms of money. It destroys you, it makes you sick.”

So where did he mention the Tea Party, oh right he didn't I could use that same statement he gave and use it against the liberals who want more and more and more. In fact it goes a lot better with liberals then it does against the Tea Party, conservatives donate more of their income then liberals, fact.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."

Based on past statements, Pope Francis’ remarks were aimed mostly at the Christian Right. While Pope Francis did not specifically mention Christian right-wing ideology during the Mass, his past remarks suggest he was talking about that ideology most of all.
In September, Pope Francis attacked “savage capitalism” and took up the plight of the unemployed against a system that worships money. Earlier that month, the Pope also criticized conservative Catholics for focusing so much on abortion, same-sex marriage, and contraception. And in July, Pope Francis put the brakes on hating gay people, saying that we shouldn’t judge or marginalize them.
Clearly, Pope Francis isn’t fond of the extreme ideals of the Christian Right. He supports helping the poor. He believes in economic fairness. He denounces hatred of gay people. He thinks the war against abortion and birth control has gone too far. Considering all of these things, it’s pretty obvious that Pope Francis was mostly talking to right-wing Christians on Thursday. Their ideological fanaticism has damaged religion. They have abandoned the true teachings of Jesus to pursue an extremist agenda. And Pope Francis just called them out for it

Who the hell wrote that twisted article, abortion is not a left right issue it is a social issue that people on both sides disagree with. You bought into the charade again box, wise up.
