I think this is the same Pope who asked forgiveness to hundreds of millions of Catholics declaring the church’s teachings of “Limbo” is not correct and isn’t biblical. He was brave enough to go against one of the unbiblical teachings of Catholicism sometime in 2009(?)… my prayer is for the Catholic church to teach the “Word of God” (theBible) as it is without compromise specially in the doctrine of salvation. I love the Catholics in the Lord! Amen.
