Here is what the Pope said, verbatim:
“The cross shows us a different way of measuring success. Ours is to plant the seeds. God sees to the fruits of our labors. And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and not produce fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.”
The leftist press has had a field day with this. But, note the pontiff specifically notes “humanly speaking”. Yes, on the human level, it was a defeat. On the spiritual level the story is one of eventual triumph, yet, the naysayers only target the word failure and downplay the term “humanly speaking” just prior to it.
The pundits can make all the noise they want. They are hiding the true meaning in the statement. And they are not believers. So, their voice is not worth hearing.
The wonderful thing about our tech-driven world is that one does not have to listen to a handful of media propagandists. We can check things out from a variety of sources and determine for ourselves the truth.
Truth stands out.

When Jesus healed people by laying of hands that’s just what it was, not molestation!
The “Pope” IS NOT A CHRISTIAN.Has never been “BORN AGAIN”as Jesus said must happen. The fruit of this old man in religious clothing bears witness that he is not. And his followers had better read the Bible ASAP. ROMANS 5 VS 1 FOR STARTERS.
This man is not the man we would normally consder Pope material. I recognized that wben he gave sanctuary in the Vatican for one of the biggest child abusers named and found guilty.
Need new pope n bishops sad what they are coming up with. Never in my 74 years have I ever seen popes n bishops downgrade the Catholic Church n it’s teachi.
AMEN!!!
This Pope is leading people away from Christianity! Jesus did not fail on the cross! He died for our sins! Says so in the Bible. The Pope needs to read his Bible now!!!
I agree he knows nothing….about Jesus
You missed the message altogether that he was proclaiming I know he can be a little profound sometimes but if we spent more time praying about what we don’t understand &less time trying to repeat false information , GOD would show us the answers. the Bible tells us not to become to elated in our own thinking.
Christ did not fail on the cross, He was successful, and because of this,
we can enjoy repenting and eternal life with Him!.
Pope Francis knows. He knows fully the Gospels and their Devine meanings.
Now I see another reason coming in to light, that Pope Francis has sold out to the New World Order (I have believed this since his first year as Pope, the non scriptural statements said). He is not a Pope for the people.
