Pope Plays Pharmacist

[Pope Plays Pharmacist Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries] "Pope Francis displayed a rosary in a box that was designed to resemble a packet of pills, during his traditional Sunday appearance overlooking St. Peter's Square. Joking that he's like a pharmacist, Pope Francis is promoting praying the rosary as medicine for the heart. About 80,000 tourists and Romans packed the square on a warm Sunday day. Source here.


[Mike Gendron Comment] The only cure for a wicked and deceitful heart is a heart transplant. Only God can "remove the heart of stone...and give you a heart of flesh" (Ez. 36:26)." Pro-Gospel.org

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]:  "So a religious leader proposed doing a spiritual exercise as a way to become spiritually stronger? How is this in any way remarkable? Is that not what such persons are supposed to do?"

 

You cannot become spiritually stronger by praying the rosary (Mt 6:7).

Response to comment [from a Catholic]:  "The anti-Catholic assumptions..."

We aren't anti-Catholic. We are anti-lies and deceit (Ga 5:9).

We are saved by grace alone (Eph 2:8-9), through faith alone (Eph 1:13; 2Ti 1:10), in Christ alone (Isa 45:21,22; 59:16; Ac 4:12). Roman Catholics deny this (Jude 1:11).

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  [to a Catholic] "Why did you feel compelled to add "of men?" Should we follow the "invented traditions of women," like yourself?"
