Condolences

[Gregory Matthews]

Condolences:  On a personal basis and speaking for Club Adventist, I extend condolences to our spiritual friends upon the death of their spiritual leader, the Bishop of Rome.  He was a man who attempted to make the world a better place.  At times he was misunderstood, including members of the Church of which he was the spiritual head.  He mad e comments on the LGBTQ Community that upheld historic Roman Catholic doctrine, while he taught respect for individuals.  His record, while sometimes controversial, will be discussed in the years to come. It will be of interest to see the Bishop next elected to the position will govern.

The following link takes you to a longer post oh this death from an independent Adventist attorney and was posted in Religious Liberty TV.

He had great empathy for all people. A person to look up to and emulate!! Also very humble!!

I would like to set in context, the place that the Pope had in the lives of people who are not  of the Catholic Faith.  I will quote one such person.  She simply said:  "He was a good person."  

That person was my wife.

In the following Adventist Today article, the author, who is an AT Editor, comments on both positive aspects of the reign of Pope Francis, and areas in which he did not fully accomplish what was needed.
