Religion / Did The Pope Really Say Sins Can Be Forgiven Via Twitter?? by shumax: 4:04pm On Jul 23, 2013
Absolve your sins on Twitter
Pope Francis To Forgive Twitter Followers' Sins Online
This were some of the funny headlines many of us saw last week on the social media sites. But did the pope really say he would forgive sins through twitter? What did he really say? While I know many People would never give the catholic church a chance to defend herself but I would appreciate if for the purpose of these particular issue many of you settle down and understand this.
The Pope didn’t say sins would be forgiven through twitter, he said Indulgence could be obtained. The issue now WHAT IS INDULGENCE?, This I would try to explain in simple terms
Catholics believe when we commit sin 2 things happen, we stop the work of divine grace in our souls and then merit hell in case of a mortal sin or at least deserve a certain kind of consequence for our sins, when we repent truthfully and confess this sins, God forgives us but then the sin still leaves a little attachment which as Catholics we believe we must through prayer fasting or other works of charity perform to overcome the attachment to this sin, if we die before we are able to effect a perfect detachment from the attachment to sin, we believe Purgatory is a state in which the remaining attachment to this sin will be removed, the church teaches based on the words of Jesus to the first Bishops, the apostles “whatever you bind on earth shall be bind in heaven and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” that By granting indulgence, the church exercises this power to her members who truly have repented of their sins but might not have fully achieved a perfect detachment from their sins to be relieved of the punishment which in this case is time spent in purgatory if they show a genuine desire to want to gain this benefit, the truth is, even if the pope approves the conditions for this indulgence individuals have to genuinely desire it by certain actions which they devotedly do. One of such activities is a pilgrimage to a holy site or event like the world youth day and the Pope has in this case declared that if you genuinely had intended to attend the world youth day event but due to legimate reasons could not attend you can still gain the indulgence by following the programmes with the same devotion as if you were in the event. This programs can be followed either through television or the social networks he never mentioned twitter.
Here is the link from the Vaticanhttp://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/tribunals/apost_penit/documents/rc_trib_appen_doc_20130709_decreto-indulgenze-gmg_en.html
Pls I would entertain genuine questions on areas you need clarification

Religion / " Roman Catholic" by shumax: 9:56am On Apr 15, 2013
There is a trend I have noticed in the religious thread a very dangerous one for us catholics, and one we have been ignorant about or maybe indifferent.
Never has the church called herself "Roman catholic", the term roman catholic is used only in reference to cardinals and that relates to thier duties as parish priest of the churches in Rome, the term Roman catholic is recent and first appeared "in the English language at the beginning of the 17th century, to differentiate specific groups of Christians in communion with the Pope from others" (wikepedia)it was started by the heretical Anglican sect to give credence to their false religion there is only one catholic church and Her head is the Pope, the church has never called herself Roman catholic, there is nothing like Roman catholic in any church document, let us not allow anybody redefine for us what has been known from time.

muami:

The fact that the FALSE statement made by Ogbeche77 has so far received 17 'likes' says a lot about the level of intelligence and knowledge of the people who are always looking for what to criticize about pastors.

First of all, the Pope does not only have two PRIVATE JETS (called Shepherd One and Shepherd two), he also owns a COUNTRY, a BANK, a CURRENCY and many other things which no Nigeria General Overseer owns. Even with these jets, the Popes have so far been ineffective in their tasks of overseeing the I billion Catholics you talk about(perhaps because he does not leave the Vatican too often). Apart from the issues of the sex scandals, the Catholic Church also happens to be the most divided church on theology and doctrine. For example, the Church doctrine is against gay marriage. However, majority of Catholics including Priests and Bishops openly go against the Church and support it. Is that the product of effective overseeing? My simple view is this: If the private jet enables these pastors to effectively carry out their tasks, then let them have it! After all, not one is forcing you to contribute to the purchase of the jets.
your poor understanding of the catholic church is so evident and your hatred for it wont allow youu clarify things, it is most unfair and a big lie to say ,majority of catholics including bishops and priest go against church teachings a few do and the church is xlear that anybody who goes againt church teaching has excommunicated himself excepts he repents even though they still claim to be catholics and as for your claim of pope having two jets this article says it all http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/vatican-has-no-money-or-space-for-private-plane-says-priest/

Symphony007: my dear, don't mislead people to defend the indefensible. Sherpard one is not even the name of a particular plane. Sherpard one is the call sign for any plane the pope is flying in. That is what air traffic controllers call anyplane the pope is one. And when he pope travels, the vatican hires an air italia plane for him and his staff. It's a commercial plane with the pope having his own seat. So my dear, there is no plane like "sherpard one" it's a call sign. So even if the pope is in a carton that is flying, it will be reffered to as "sherpard one".
Abeg tell them ooooo, i dont know why people just come on line and say rubbish without verifying

Firstly, the pope 'owns' a private jet the same way Pastor Adeboye 'owns' a private jet. No jet is registered in their name. However, they both have jets that is available for their use whenever they want it.

In any event, we don't have to copy the pope. People do mortgage in the UK and US but in Nigeria, we buy houses outright. That is our style. So if any Nigerian pastor believe their own 'overseeing' is better achieved by the use of a private jet, whether registered in their name or not, the yardstick should not be what the pope does. If we must copy the pope, then we should support all Nigerian pastors to be treated like heads of states, own their own bank and print their money!

By the way, I don't get it about the rant about the humility of the new pope. Pastor Adeboye is also well known for his humility, even the report under reference acknowledge that as follows: "Though considered unique in his simple appearance and un-flamboyant lifestyle..."

its unfortunate you hold on to your biased view on the catholic church isnt it a christian character to be fair and sincere in our approach to truth, the popes position in the world cant be compared to that of Pastor Adeboye, so his humility is something we must not stop commending and as for your lies on the pope having a private jet this article says it all http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/vatican-has-no-money-or-space-for-private-plane-says-priest/

There is possibly not a lot of demand for the pope to travel around. A church like the Redeemed Christian Church of God is massively evangelizing to countries. There are thousands of churches around the world who would wish and who are inviting the GO of RCCG and that is the difference. Let God be the judge in this matter. The GO of RCCG and the church has been a blessing to Nigeria's image in more than 100 countries, yet we never learn to appreciate our own. Let god be the judge. Let us not compare people. Round pegs do not fit into square holes!
more contries in the world demand the presence of the pope than they demand the presence of all pentecostal pastors join togeda after all majority of worshipers in those churches are Nigerians but the pope is a universal figure
