The "Holy Father" Needs to Review the Holy Scriptures

As admirable as some aspects of Pope Francis I's example are - forgoing much of the pomp and and self-exaltation of the office he holds: washing feet, living a poor life like aesthetically prior to becoming pope, taking public transportation - he is still guilty of the rank heresy approved by the Roman Catholic Church. 

Even worse, Francis has recently demonstrated a lack of understanding on Scripture in relation to salvation. 

In a conversation with Eugenio Scalfari, founder of the newspaper, La Repubblica, Francis had this to say:

"“You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscienceSin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.” (Emphasis mine).

He would do well to read the book of Hebrews again:

Hebrews 11:6: " And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him."

Or,

John 14:6: "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
