It was nice seeing so many thousands of Polish pilgrims in Rome yesterday.It reminded me of the canonization of Padre Pio and the canonization of the founder of Opus Dei.
Crux News has wrongly reported that there were only 50,000 people there.But then Crux did not report on Pope Francis' Mission Day statement on mission and converstion but restricted their report to his comments on Mosul.

The pope told all these thousands of people from Poland on Mission Sunday that conversion into the Catholic Church is not necessary for salvation.There is known salvation outside the Church for him.He can judge.
For him one has only to proclaim Jesus irrespective of traditional Catholic moral and salvation theology since non Catholics are all going to Heaven without entering the Catholic Church. Some time back he asked Muslims to pray in their own religion.
A few days back he said there would be no mission to the Orthodox Christians.For the pope they are all going to Heaven inspite of the contrary statements of popes on this issue. So there is the new innovation in the Church. There is joint mission with other Christians communities and churches.

Not true. I live a few miles from a Carmelite monastery where they dress like St. Teresa.

I like hose traditional habits of the nuns!! Poland is the only place in the world where they can still be seen. But how long is it going to it take that Polish religious will have their habits adjusted to "western styles"?!
