March 14. Pope: Inconsistency in our actions causes Church scandal...Scandal kills. Vatican City, Feb. 27, 2014 ( CNA/ EWTN News) In his daily homily Pope Francis spoke of the harm done when Christians dont practice what they preach, noting that this incoherence leads others away from the church and often brings scandal. When there is no christian coherency, and you live with this incoherence, you are giving scandal. And the Christians that are not coherent are giving scandal, the Pope said in his Feb.27 Mass. To be christian means to bear witness to Jesus Christ, he said, adding that to a christian person thinks like a Christian, feels like a christian and acts like a Christian. And this is coherency in the life of a Christian. ... And when there is no Christian coherency, and you live with incoherence, you are giving scandal. Inconsistent Christians do so much harm. Scandal kills. Unqoute and excerpts taken from Davao Catholic Herald, page 2.dated March 9-15, 2014. The Christians ought to live what they preach as Pope Francis made it clear to all of us, most especially the frontline evangelizers like priests, religious leaders, Catholic charismatic preachers. Some of these front line evangelizers have, by their immoral, hedonistic, materialistic lifestyles, become scandals to the unchurched little ones, leading them to possible perdition. These scandalous members of the church, ought to be reminded that salvation is not a function of their position in the church but of their disposition towards doing Gods will on earth as Jesus did. And theres no other way. Do not be fooled. God can not be deceived. You reap what you sow. Galatians 6:7
