Pope Francis shared in a recent sermon in front of crowds of cheering liberal Catholics that having a “personal relationship” with Jesus was “harmful and dangerous”.
Here are the transcribed notes from this shocking new message by Pope Francis. Scroll down to view the video of Pope Francis addressing the crowds and warning of the dangers of having a relationship with God.
Sometimes you may hear people say “I believe in God, in Jesus, but the church, I do not care” How many times have we heard this? This is wrong. There are those who believe you can have a personal, direct, and immediate relationship with Jesus Christ outside of the communion and mediation of the church.These temptations are dangerous and harmful. They are in the words of the great Pope Paul V “absurd dichotomies”
It is true that journeying together can be challenging and sometimes it can be tiring. It may be that some brother or sister (in the church) makes us face a problem, or scandalize us.
But the Lord entrusted his message of salvation to humans, all of us, as witnesses; and in our brothers and sisters in Christ, with their gifts and limits, who come to us and make themselves known. This means belonging to the church.

Why should priests have to profess obedience to Pope Francis but be told that having a “personal relationship” with Jesus is “harmful and dangerous”?
The Church is changing. And it doesn’t seem like it’s for the Good.

The one thing that really jumped out at me was the Pope saying we need the church for mediation on our behalf with God.
Jesus is the mediator not the church. That is fact. It appears he is trying to separate Christians from Catholics.
Absurd!
Man of God I meant man of satin
i would have to hear this man with my own ears to believe this. i mean hear him say ” a personal relationship with Jesus is dangerous. i want and choose to believe its twisting his words somehow..i will awlays choose to believe the best in people til it is they who change it before my eyes or in my ears.. Jesus told us how he wanted us to be close to him, how could he read the bible and not notice what Jesus heart was toward us, his children,.. show me a clip or something.. then I’ll comment
