. . . how can one tell the imposter Church from the Church established by Christ?<\/span><\/p>\n

Although there are several indicators, the main giveaway, I believe, can be found in differing attitudes toward sin. The true Church takes sin very seriously and warns about it constantly. Indeed, the main mission of the Church is to save us from our sins. On the other hand, one of the main goals of the Church which Francis and his followers are building is to diminish the importance of sin.<\/span><\/p>\n

On several occasions, Francis has belittled sexual sins, referring to them as the \u201clightest of sins\u201d or jokingly as \u201csins below the waist.\u201d He reportedly told a group of Spanish seminarians that they must absolve all sins in the confessional<\/a>, even if there is no sign of repentance. On one occasion, when asked about the exploits of a homosexual priest, Francis replied, \u201cWho am I to judge?\u201d<\/a> But\u2014with the exception of sins against the environment and \u201csins\u201d of rigidity\u2014he seems to take a \u201cWho-am-I-to-judge\u201d attitude toward almost all sins.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
