christmas-card-01

Chúc mừng Giáng Sinh và Chúc Mừng Năm Mới sắp đến! Dịp này thấy mọi người ngợi khen và cảm phục những nỗ lực của Đức Giáo hoàng Francis. Thế giới may mắn có những con người vĩ đại như vậy thực hiện sứ mệnh hòa giải và hàn gắn!

The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone. Even atheists acknowledge the divine. Through acts of love and charity the atheist acknowledges God as well, and redeems his own soul, becoming an active participant in the redemption of humanity

God is changing and evolving as we are, For God lives in us and in our hearts. When we spread love and kindness in the world, we touch our own divinity and recognize it. The Bible is a beautiful holy book, but like all great and ancient works, some passages are outdated. Some even call for intolerance or judgement. The time has come to see these verses as later interpolations, contrary to the message of love and truth, which otherwise radiates through scripture. In accordance with our new understanding, we will begin to ordain women as cardinals, bishops and priests. In the future, it is my hope that we will have a woman pope one day. Let no door be closed to women that is open to men!
