Pope Francis Muslim Ban Comments Followed By Excerpt Of Divine Law

By

Pope Francis' Muslim ban comments speaks about unity and his recent sermon further explains the significance of the divine law. Pope Francis is very vocal when it comes to relating modern problems with the ancient texts.

The pope recently gave a sermon at the St. Peter's Square last Sunday. Pope Francis addressed certain concerns that pertain to our modern day issues.

The Catholic leader stressed the importance of embodying the substance of the law given by God. Pope Francis emphasized that people should avoid "formalism" by realizing the "substance" of the commandments, according to VaticanRadio.

The Pope Francis Muslim ban comments attracted some attention due to the controversial nature of America's executive order issue. However, the Catholic leader was addressing the issue from a general perspective and with a subtle approach.

Now, the pope continues to remind people of the divine law including the issue of oath-swearing. The Catholic leader sees oath-swearing as a sign of insecurity when needing to resort to higher interventions just to be trusted.

Pope Francis advises people to build mutual trust within each other, instead. The Pope continued tackling the issue of murder, saying that people should not insult each other.

The faith leader mentioned that killing the heart of our brothers by insulting them is akin to murder. Pope Francis continued saying that we don't get nothing out of insulting each other.

According to ABCNews, the Pope Francis Muslim ban comments stemmed from the pope frequently urging Christians to "build bridges, not walls." Then the Pope stated that the act of building a wall is "not Christian."

Following the Muslim ban comments, the Pope called for everyone to offer their prayers to their Muslim brothers. Pope Francis explained that while Muslims are not Christians, they are still "good" and "peaceful" people. Overall, Pope Francis wanted to send a reminder that following the divine law isn't just about appearing to be Christians but embodying the substance of the law in a Christian's daily life.
