Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.

Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.

Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.

Do you think there's any chance the new pope will help reform the Catholic Church such that they affirm justification by faith alone? (lemmy.world)

I understood that "faith alone" was one of the founding principles of the Protestant church, and never a part of Catholicism.

Why would he?

And how would that be a "reform?"

Why would he? Because it's what the Bible teaches. It's an essential of the faith.

I don't expect him to but you never know what God will do.
