Christ said “That ye love one another…” “Love your enemy” this is the answer.

No matter how many flaws he would have, the priest has the power to tie and untie. You must, at all cost to stop judging the priests. The Church needs to be characterised according to God’s teaching. Nobody preaches Christ’s teaching without His words. But, along the way many things have happened: Peter denied Christ, but this does not mean that the Christian teaching was not true. But Peter has risen beyond his fall.

“God loves us more than the devil hates us!” This is a great teaching that we need to learn.

You know what I am saying: you are to blame because your neighbour is to blame! This is the answer! You need to love him and not to hate him, and for this Christian thinking, God will help him as well even without you saying another word. You had the courage to value him, and for this you helped him so much “God, have mercy upon Him!” Have you started to love your enemy yet? Do not isolate yourself. Your little finger may not seem very important but it plays a huge part in the anatomy of the human body. If you loved people as if they were Christ then you will no longer see their flaws, what they did and said.
