Default Pope Francis and the problem of suffering: A swing and a miss - 01-19-2015, 04:18 PM

In the cursed Catholic island of the Philippines, His Unholiness said Mass in a city named after a kind of envelope and got asked why children suffer:
Quote:
Glyzelle Palomar, 12, who said she had witnessed drugs and prostitution while living on the street before she was given shelter by an aid group, openly wept as she asked the pope why children were allowed to suffer. The crowd applauded when the pope embraced the girl and a 14-year-old boy, who had also once been homeless.

“The nucleus of your question almost doesn’t have a reply,” he said. “Only when we, too, can cry about the things that you said are we able to reply to that question. Why do children suffer so much? Why do children suffer? When the heart is able to ask itself something and cry, then we are able to understand something.”
The Unholy "Father" obviously had to wing it, but if the Roman institution followed anything even loosely resembling Biblically sound Christianity, he wouldn't have had to.

We won't get into the question of why the Lord sends suffering to saved Christians, since we are talking about statue-worshiping Catholics here. Instead, we should stop looking at suffering through the clouded lens of deficient human morality and realize that God does things for His purposes, which we cannot understand:

[Isaiah 55:8-11 KJV] 8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.

To achieve those purposes, God does not simply refrain from preventing evil; rather, He creates it:

[Isaiah 45:7 KJV] 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].

[Amos 3:6 KJV] 6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done [it]?


But why should God's purposes involve the suffering of innocent children? Actually, they are not innocent, for all have sinned, and members of the counterfeit church of Catholicism are not saved from sin:

[Romans 3:23 KJV] 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

So the Biblically sound explanation for the suffering of children is that God causes it to manifest His perfect justice and to achieve His purposes. Praise His glorious name!


This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.

Honest question: do you even think the Pope has ever read a Bible? An honest-to-goodness 1611 KJV Bible? Or is he elbow-deep in the Holy Roman Latin babble that you hear about?
