Pope Francis: God Has Instructed Me to Revise the Ten Commandments

GUAYAQUIL, Ec. – Pope Francis kicked off the start of a three-nation trip across South America today with his first mass, with over a million Ecuadorians in attendance, in the coastal city of Guayaquil. Delivering the mass in Spanish, the Pope spoke about the importance of family in modern society, saying, “It needs to be helped and strengthened, lest we lose our proper sense of the services which society as a whole provides.”

During his sermon, Pope Francis announced to Christians around the world that God had called upon him, instructing him “to revise the most sacred of texts, the Ten Commandments.” Given to the Israelites by God himself at Mount Sinai, the Commandments include instructions for worship and list several prohibited practices.

Pope Francis said Christians around the world are “faced with ever-increasing temptations brought on by the evils of modern society.” The Pope said the updated Commandments reflect the changing times and include some minor rewording of the existing rules as well as the addition of two new Commandments.

Thanks in Advance .

Since the commandments are supposedly being revised to be more tolerant to homosexuals and adulterers, that says to me "Somebody is being satirical here".

#11: Thou shall be excellent to thy brethren
#12: Thou shall not emulate Bill Cosby, or that guy from Subway
#13: Legalize it forthwith, sayeth the Lord, or at least sayeth the Francis
#14: Whatever

I get it , but it's not the only site reporting it .

If it's not satire, the Pope has a serious god complex.

While Real News Right Now does not contain a disclaimer identifying it as a fake news web site, the above-quoted story is just that: another piece of fake news.

Lol. Look at some of these article titles:
Obama To Issue Executive Order Extending Presidential Term Limits
Obama to Sign Executive Order Stripping Texas of Statehood Ahead of Jade Helm 15
Obama Signs Executive Order Banning Confederate Flags, Memorabilia
Walmart to Burn Thousands of American Flags Following Recall

and my personal favorite:
Following Coup, President Obama Assumes Control of Pyongyang

I kind of think there should be a rule against a satirical news organization from calling itself "Real News Right Now".

No kidding! Once I clicked next, it was pretty clear....Not to mention this "news" site with no ads, no colors, no author or anything was a dead giveaway to me....But what better things did I have to do with my 30 seconds of research...?

What a news day! I like those headlines Fake news is much more exciting

Here's another gem from the site's about page:

Nintendo Power? Who lists THAT magazine as a reference for legitimacy? Also, Highlights magazine is in there too. Lol that whole list is pretty suspect.

Is there a reason you didn't HOAX it before replying? lol.....

For gosh sakes, the site is "real news right now".....Gotta love sites like that that have REAL in their name....Douche news right now would be more fitting because realistically it isn't news, it is garbage...

Perfect ! Thanks for the work my fellow ATS'ers

I think all this crazy rock star livin' is going right to his head:

It's a good spoof. Well done who ever came up with this little joke. I can imagine the Pope sayin' to the masses at the Vatican as he's dragged into rehab,

"Part the Red Sea, no problem dude"!

a reply to: Kapusta

Well they do feel they would have that authority if it comes to it.

4. We believe the Catholic Church alone has the authority to give to God’s people an authoritative list of the Ten Commandments. And the Catechism of the Catholic Church does exactly that. At least, it gives us a list as a sure norm for us.
