Pope Francis has slammed conservative American Christians as “backwards” during a conversation with a group of Jesuits in an interview published Monday, and called for more progressivism in the church in the US.
Asked to provide an example during his interview, the pope said Americans must pay less attention to “sins of the flesh” and more to other sins.
“It is clear that today the issue of homosexuality is very strong, and the sensitivity in this regard changes according to historical circumstances,” he said.
“But what I don’t like at all, in general, is that we look at the so-called ‘sin of the flesh’ with a magnifying glass, just as we have done for so long for the sixth commandment,” he said. “If you exploited workers, if you lied or cheated, it didn’t matter, and instead sins below the waist were relevant.”
“I am not afraid of sexualized society,” the pope declared. “No, I am afraid of how we relate to it.”
The pope slammed Americans for their conservatism, demanding the church in America take on a more progressive stance.
“The situation is not easy in the United States where there is a very strong reactionary attitude,” the pontiff said. “It is organized and shapes the way people belong, even emotionally.”
“I would like to remind those people that ‘backwardism’ is useless and we need to understand that there is an appropriate evolution in the understanding of matters of faith and morals,” the pope declared to the Jesuit community present in Portugal during the recent celebration of World Youth Day.
As examples, Francis said that “today it is a sin to possess atomic bombs” and “the death penalty is a sin,” but “it was not so before,” in reference to changes he has made in Church teaching.
Doctrine “progresses, expands, and consolidates with time and becomes firmer, but is always progressing,” he continued.
“Our understanding of the human person changes with time and our consciousness also deepens,” he stated. “The other sciences and their evolution also help the Church in this growth in understanding.”
“The view of Church doctrine as monolithic is erroneous,” he added.
“The problems that moralists have to examine today are very serious, and to deal with them they have to take the risk of making changes,” he asserted.

Its easy to realize that you are controlled opposition but its like a confession if you are claiming any religion has something to do with reality.
The truth is that descendants of the Hellenes rule over this planet. They invented religions to give their slave hope or to bring them under total control. What you call Satanism is nothing else than hellenistic philosophy. The Hellenes were murderers, torturers and psychopaths – always. Today they call themselves Jews though.
Every Jew knows that. And not one single Jew is religious at all to be honest. Socrates declared lying as a virtue. And so do the Jews (in reality Hellenes). They think they are superior if they can fool somebody. Hellenistic philosophy means to fulfill all desires. For the negative desires like murdering, torturing and so on the slaves are there.
The Hellenes were super sadistic in the antique. For example they loved to skin their slaves alive. That was so much fun for them. These idiots rule over this planet for 3000 years.
They found the Roman Empire. That was the first total slave state they controlled in the background. This slave state full of slaves just was created that they fight for them. Because fighting is dangerous. You could die. Therefore they let the slaves fight for them. The Roman Empire conquered the earth for them and enslaved everybody. They destroyed all cultures and all people and created new ones. Like they did in the midage in America.
The slaves of today are in 99.99999% of the cases too retarded or too degenerated or too brainwashed to find anything out. And even if they would find anything out they are much too degenerated to fight. Because fighting is dangerous and they have no honor or any true values.
Thats the condition on this planet. The world is finished and the Jews aka Hellenes control the whole planet. You are all “controlled” “Opposition” but really bad one. Anybody with something similar like a brain can see this immediately.
