Joel olsteen is the protestant version of Freemason seated on the top... my most problematic thing are traditionalists waiting for the next pope so this one could be sanctioned... like if Catherine of Siena and St Athanasius waited for that, theres not going to be faith as we know it when the freemason ends his agenda.

Wow, Joel Osteen is using pro-gay language when he is mentioning that Francis made the Catholic Church more “inclusive”. He is moving the the gay lobby wording of inclusiveness.

Osteen's theology is not really the Pope's (I hope!). It is more in line with theologies of "think postive" and life will make you happy. Maybe the Pope can see the "I am happy"-feeling as an literal appearance of the Holy Ghost in other "brother" religions. Osteen's interpretation of his meeting, from the clip, was that the Pope wants "to take everbody in" and that "unity" is the main thing (a …More
Osteen's theology is not really the Pope's (I hope!). It is more in line with theologies of "think postive" and life will make you happy. Maybe the Pope can see the "I am happy"-feeling as an literal appearance of the Holy Ghost in other "brother" religions. Osteen's interpretation of his meeting, from the clip, was that the Pope wants "to take everbody in" and that "unity" is the main thing (a unity which evidently does not covert anyone and is not all too concerned with truth), rather imparts to him "divine inspiration" for his coming megachurch - Yankee-Stadium "event". Imitating megachurch-"Holy Ghost"-whooping it up with its "Be happy" message (and if your not you are not a true Christian) and pentecostal-like emotionality as liturgy is, perhaps, the future of the Catholic Church as the Pope sets out to realize "all inclusive unity", for which "rigid" dogma is out of place. Be warned!!
The reporting on the Osteen "happening" with the Pope does lend some credence to the thesis that the Pope is pushing for some sort of world church or, at least, a church sharing the same mutual "Holy-Ghost"-pentecostal feelings, a church of "happenings", but not of dogmatic truth.
All that is needed is a "Rainbow Church" and, given the Pope's inclination to wear a Rainbow bracelet, and, well, the homosexual act in its ecstacy might be viewed as just another type exprience-happenings. I am becoming cynical, that is true. My cynicism stands in a proportional function of the papal cynosure's all inclusiveness, which results in reducing difference of religious doctrines to mere "traditions" which are but different ways of enabling "happenings".
