RASHEL DIAZ: Remember that a lot of these reluctant attitudes to welcome everyone is what had made a lot of people distance themselves from the Church, and Pope Francis’ primary task since day one has been the complete opposite…
MARCO ANTONIO REGIL: Come on over here!
RASHEL DÍAZ: …attracting everyone, towards that love of God.
MARCO ANTONIO REGIL: This is what I get out of it.
RASHEL DÍAZ: Me, too.
MARCO ANTONIO REGIL: When I was a kid I did my first communion, I studied and read the Bible, I was an altar server and everything. I will always remember the Bible passage where Christ doesn’t permit them to stone a woman for being a prostitute.
RASHEL DIAZ: Correct, correct.
MARCO ANTONIO REGIL: and he loves and hugs her. He does not say you are right or you are wrong. He just focuses on love, and I think Pope Francis is doing the same thing.
DANIEL SARCOS: Like he says, who am I to judge?
RASHEL DIAZ: One hundred percent.
MARCO ANTONIO REGIL: Who are we? Our mission in life is to love, not to judge and look for what is right or wrong. So for that, cheers to Pope Francis!
