On his blog, entitled GoThereFor dot com, Mark Gilbert recently wrote the following.... 'In Australia, we have a saying we use when someone asks something blindingly obvious: “Is the Pope Catholic?” The assumption is of course he is!
On 31 October of this year, Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio) will take part in in an ecumenical service with the World Federation of Lutheran Churches. It marks a year of celebrations to commemorate 500 years since Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the castle church in Wittenberg. As I mentioned in a previous article, when commenting on this event, Pope Francis said, “And today Lutherans and Catholics, Protestants, all of us agree on the doctrine of justification”. When he makes comments like this, he shows himself to be entirely Catholic, which is, after all, what you would expect.'

“ Annother good teaching. ” On the point of ecumenism: it would appear the social issues are a greater attraction to consenting churches than the most important issue of the true biblical doctrine of justification. By example, the church of Ephesus, within itself, was similar in laboring over good works, and neglecting the “first works.” Jesus said, “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Rev 2:4-5 KJV)
