Did Pope Francis Really Say That?

Question:

Did Pope Francis really teach that relationship with Jesus is dangerous and harmful?

Answer:

Not at all! This is an example of a malicious and silly misrepresentation of what the Holy Father actually said. Here is a link which will clear the matter up for you.

What the pope taught is simply that to claim a personal relationship with Jesus while rejecting a relationship with his community the Church is false. As the Beloved Disciple says, how can you love the God you cannot see if you do not love the brother you can see? Those who love Jesus but hate the Church he founded are deceived. We could say that Jesus does not want friends who are not friends with all his friends, and these are to be found in the Church which he founded!
