The false and destructive childhood indoctrination of millions of us have made it almost impossible for us to love God, or to believe that we are loved with a divine passion.
Pope Francis tries to soften the hard face of Church teaching, and to reveal to us, no matter what, how beautiful and cherished we always are in God’s eyes.
It saddens God when we define ourselves as ‘sinners’ rather than as delightfully created in our Mother-God’s beautiful image. It follows then that the more authentic and true to ourselves we become, the more divine we become at the same time.
