(pope) Francis: “Truth is not an absolute concept that Christians possess”

by Joseph Saraceno
When (pope) Francis refereed to.”she who embraces us.” as the Truth in a sense it is the same as with wisdom being refereed to as a she.
As Eve was made as an help meet (suitable) for Adam, who he would ‘cleave to’ and through whom he would be fruitful and multiply, so wisdom is an a help suitable (and necessary) for all and by espousing it in our lives we bring forth the fruits of righteousness.  So it’s not by Jesus that the truth embraces us but by His Bride, the church, but the Church became possessed by the Holy Ghost which in turn embraces those who wish to be saved. So the she in this sense is the Hierarchy which is made up of Men.  (Makes sense to me. I hope it does to you. In Christ Joseph)

Subject: (pope) Francis: Truth is not an absolute concept that Christians possess.
September 11, 2013. (Romereports.com) Pope Francisco continues to surprise. The Italian newspaper La Repubblica published a lengthy response to the Pope’s newspaper journalist and founder Eugenio Scalfari in July and August that published an open letter in which he raiseddoubts and questions about the fecristiana after reading the encyclical ‘Lumen Fidei’.

The Pope explains that truth is not an absolute concept that Christians possess but a good to be achieved. Jesus is “the Way, Truth and Life,” says the Pope, but the truth is reached through a personal relationship. “No one possesses but is she who embraces us,” says quoting his Encyclical.

Francisco signed the letter from his own hand and explains how faith always comes from the encounter with Jesus. It details the Church, despite the limitations of the men who compose it, is a place where it is possible that encounter.

It also addresses the question of the Jews, a people who still awaits the coming of the Messiah. The Pope replied that God is always faithful to the promise he made to the people. He also says that many times wondered before God for the Jewish people, especially when you rememberelHolocausto, and deemed never to the Church and humanity can appreciate your loyalty to God despite these terrible trials.

With this extensive and profound letter the Pope accepts the invitation to talk about faith, with a journalist who seeks the truth. And it shows a new side of direct, simple and close the Pope Francisco, also willing to dialogue with intellectuals in the public sphere.
