9 September 1971. John Lennon’s classic album, Imagine, was released in the USA. It was a critical and commercial success, peaking at No.1 in the UK and US album charts. In 2012, the album was voted 80th on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The Pope is so anxious to avoid any charges of plagiarism that he takes great care not to copy any other sources, such as the Bible, Doctors of the Church, previous popes, etc.
Just checked the footnotes. Once again, in Fiducia Supplicans, we have a Pope who practically exclusively cites himself as validation for his novel direction. Is anyone still buying this nonsense?
Nature itself is the primary Bible. The world is the locus of the sacred and provides all the metaphors that the soul needs for its growth. Today, I invite you to seek out God through the nature that surrounds us.

Those liberal reactions to the BXVI-Sarah book in full:

2. How dare he speak his thoughts?

5. I haven't read the book but it is obviously very bad.
6. Go to 1.

New Vatican study on Bible looks at, among other topics, Sodom (Gen 19) and Gibeah (Judges 19). In both cases, says the study, what is condemned is not "a sexual transgression," but pride and aggression toward a stranger or strangers needing assistance.
