The Paradox of Power....

[Chad32]

Great article! Explained in an intelligent, practical manner. The obvious truth here is that the world aspires to spiritualism, and God. But it also needs guidance.

You can see how powerful, and enduring Jesus' message is through Pope Francis. And that the measure of [real] power is the opposite of what men perceive it to be!

The so called "soft power" of: Humility, Faith and Love is an all positive force that always grows, and grows. While "temporal power" greedily, and continually grows and dies
over the millennia in a viscous never ending cycle riddled with evil, pain and suffering. Its easy to see why most people are drawn to the message of Peace, Hope and Love!

Nations will rise, and fall. But the Church of Christ endures!

For all the evil that men do for personal gain... on either side of the religious line, Jesus' message of truth is still loud & clear. And is very much desired by the masses.
And always will be! Or, for as long as the message remains the same.



The Paradox of Pope Francis's Power

True,the church cannot get destroyed.

But it can be twisted and corrupted. I'm pretty sure Jesus was strongly anti wealth, yet the Pope lives in a fabulous palace. Faith is not a virtue. It causes people to be close-minded. It tears families apart. I kind of wish christians were much more humble, but that doesn't mesh well with their need to run everyone's lives.
