Due to internet problem I could not post in the last fortnight, sorry for the inconvenience.

from previous post –
As
always after a long pontificate, a new page was opened in the history
of the Church with the election of a new pope. Pope Benedict XVI was
elected in 2005. In his inaugural sermon, the new Pontiff explained
his view of a relation with Christ: It like remembering god when bad
time comes! As European community began to understand what is god
when they were exposed to Hinduism and many could feel that, what
Church preaches is not true. The business approach of Church became
obvious to them and they began to ask questions. Before things go out
of hand, it is good to be with Christ for future. Century old
imperial style working, during what the Church and Popes had
forgotten Christ, will not work any more they realized. We see due to
these realizations now we see Church has begun to play low. Many
Clergy openly recommend their followers to practice Yoga. However, at
the same time they do not want to admit openly that they are
changing. The fears that due to more influence of modern science
already a large number of followers of Church have left Church.
Concept of god that Church proposed has been found to be not
acceptable to modern science.
Are
we not perhaps all afraid in some way?
If we let Christ
enter fully into our lives, if we open ourselves totally to Him, are
we not afraid that HE might take something away from us? No! If we
let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely
nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in
this friendship do we experience beauty and liberation when we give
ourselves to Him, we receive a hundredfold in return. Yes, open, open
wide the doors to Christ – and you will find true life. This is
usual way Church would canvass for their hold on faithful. However,
that is not having any effects on new generation. They cannot be
fooled by such talk. Since they are observing that Church officials
do not do what they preach!
On
February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI announced that he would tender
his resignation on February 28, 2013, less than three weeks later. On
March 13, 2013, Pope Francis—the first Jesuit pope and the first
pope from the Americas—was elected to the papacy.
Now
we are watching if Church can really improve and instead of preaching
Peter's religion move to preach real Christ teachings. So far, we
observe that Church has been preaching the teachings of St. Peter
while using name of Christ.
