Pope Francis said
Thursday the Word of God is not ideology but it is life that
makes us grow.
What does it mean for a Christian to have a "perverse heart,"
a heart that can lead to faintheartedness, ideology, and
compromise? Francis asked in his homily Thursday morning at the
Mass at Casa Santa Marta.
"Take care, brothers, that none of you may have an evil and
unfaithful heart, so as to forsake the living God."
This is the harsh "message", the "warning" as Pope Francis
calls it, that the author of the Letter to the Hebrews addresses
to the Christian community in today's liturgy.
The pope warns that the Christian community, in all its
components - "priests, nuns, bishops" - runs this danger of
"slipping towards a perverse heart".
