“I made it in trouble”

Bill Donuho, head of the Catholic League, participated with Fox News, “Catholics all over the world grieves the death of Pope Francis. Millions of believers, including non -Catholics and non -believers, have touched.

“No one criticized him for not speaking from the heart.”

“I also made him a problem, especially when talking to journalists on the papal plane after a flight abroad. On many occasions, in the wake of a conversation with journalists, the Versles Philos’ had to explain what it means. But no one criticized him for not speaking from the heart.”

“Unfortunately, the end of Pontefa was worrying. He agreed to the Vatican document that allows the priest to bless couples of the same sex, and it was met with widespread criticism. In fact, it was unjust to draw a great division of the goodwill he had previously carrying … for the largest part, the media dealt with kindness.”

“The strong defense of the Pope for the unborn rights, and its condemnation of the gender ideology, sat well with the conservative Catholics. But they were not happy when he refused to honor the questions related to its Apostolic foundation,” Amores Letia; Distinguished parties in some eastern issues.

“It is clear that the Holy Father was more critical to conservative bishops than their liberal counterparts.”

In the comments, Donuho referred to Fox News Digital, “Pope Francis made his mark on the church, just as John Paul II and Bentutet sixteen did. It remains to see whether his successor would arrest his position more than his position.

“Pray for his soul”

Reverend Jesse Bradley of Grace’s societal church outside Seattle, Washington, on Fox News, commented, “The Bible is clear that we need to pray for our leaders. We can pray for Pope Francis, for his soul.

“Pope Francis had the estimation of creation and the heart of sympathy. His leadership included prayers during the epidemic even when the Saint Peter’s Square was empty. His death comes the day after Easter, a clear reminder that Jesus is the resurrection and life. Death is not the end of the story – because Jesus is individual and the hat is empty.”

He also said: “The call from our Lord is for all.

Bradley continued, “The Pope has devoted his life to God, and we can now move to Jesus with all our hearts. There is no more decision than Jesus’ follow -up daily and eternally. Grace is an unpredictable gift, the sky is real, and Jesus died for our sins. During this time of sadness, we may rest from these concerns and hope.”

“Get to serve him”

“As an evangelical leader, I think about the death of Pope Francis with his gratitude for his service and heart to the poor. His leadership inspires us to a renewed commitment in the Catholic Church of the Book Authority as a guide to faith and practice,” Jeff King, the head of the international Christian interest (ICC) and a prominent expert on religious persecution all over the world, told Fox News Digital.

“Despite our theological differences, the evangelists and Catholics stand united in the declaration of Jesus Christ as the hope of the only world. While the Catholic Church moves in this transition, we pray for the sake of revival and common dedication to the raising of Jesus as the way, the truth and life.”

King is also the author of the book “The Whisper”, and he is a 30 -day slave who reveals spiritual lessons “from the prisons of persecution”.

“I remembered his communication”

Archbishop Timothy B. Borujlio, president of the American Catholic Bishops Conference, is a statement he partially said, “Pope Francis will long since his communication with those on the sidelines of the church and society.

“He also benefited from the current jubilee to invite us to a deep hope – one of the empty or naive hope, but one of them is based on the promise of God Almighty with us always.”

The dream of a church was to become a field hospital.

“Pope Francis was a voice of unity and understanding among all religious groups amid increasing polarization, and I joined the Catholic Church because they mourn his death. His legacy reminds us that the ministry should not be limited to those who belong to our faith or those who agree with us. They must be. On all people. “

“Many will hurry to conduct an evaluation of his legacy, but this is premature, if not harmful. After all, we still evaluate the past factors – do not care about the broader legacy of the second Vatican.” (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)

“Pope Francis defended the dignity of all humanity, regardless of their social traditions or faith. His dream was that the Church became a field hospital – and our responsibility to see that the dream is aware of the interest of humanity. The whole time, Pope Francis embodied the humility and courageous care of less than those who have his great names.

His election was historically “

In an original opening for Fox News Digital, Reverend Robert Cyricko wrote, “If there is anything that can be agreed upon by all parties about Bob Francis, this is that he was turbulent and ambiguous on several levels. The effects of church’s life.”

He added, in part of it, “As the first Pope of the Americas – although the lineage of Italian immigrants – his election was historical. Although it is not possible, it cannot be fully imagined, the next range can lead to the first African Pope since ancient times, especially given the dynamic growth of the church on the continent.”
