Embark on a profound exploration of what it truly means to live a life of Christian righteousness, following the insightful spiritual guidance of Bishop Jacques Bossuet. With Lent upon us, we delve into the essence of a faith that surpasses mere exterior ritual, seeking instead a genuine connection with the teachings of Christ.

Im a new catholic, having been baptized last Easter, and find myself incensed by Pope Francis's statements the other day expressing religious indifference. While i will not leave the Church, this seems like an invalidation of the reasons as to why i even joined. It tells me i could have just become a muslim, buddhist, Hindu, or any other religion and still have been saved, it flys in the face of God's commandment to have no other gods before Him. I think the best thing we can do and should do is start writing letters and ask our fellow parishioners to do the same so our bishops can atleast come out against this statement and affirm that it is not a magisterial teaching. If enough bishops do this hopefully the pope will take a step back and think twice before making these kind of statements that severely damage peoples faith.
