Francis and the Olympic ‘Refugee Team’

Dear brothers and sisters Rami Anis, Yiech Pur Biel, James Nyang Chiengjiek, Yonas Kinde, Anjelina Nada Lohalith, Rose Nathike Lokonyen, Paulo Amotun Lokoro, Yusra Mardini, Popole Misenga and Yolande Bukasa Mabika:
I have learned about your team and read some of your interviews so that I could get closer to your lives and your aspirations.
I extend my greetings and wish you success at the Olympic Games in Rio — that your courage and strength find expression through the Olympic Games and serve as a cry for peace and solidarity.
Your experience serves as testimony and benefits us all. I pray for you and ask that you, please, do the same for me. God bless you.
In brotherhood,
Francis


Nothing about Jesus the Christ.


Nor any mention about saving their souls.


It’s as if refugees have a higher soul than non-refugees.


Where’s Francis getting these strange ideas from?

Just in time for the Olympics in Rio!

The Pope Video 8 - Sports


No, this video isn’t a parody.  Francis and his modernist partners made another prayer video of the month which explains that sport will help bring about world peace through the culture of encounter and help smash the (imaginary) wall of bigotry.  As usual no mention of Christ nor of His Kingship.
