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)

What makes you think so?

Catholics are deeply personal-works focused, at least from my own upbringing and education. They see Jesus as having opened the path to salvation, but one that can only be walked by good works, kindness, charity, and generally emulating Jesus' life on Earth. Faith itself isnt really part of the equation, and at least IME doesnt seem very emphasized overall.

Does the new Pope differ?

Nothing makes me think so. I just hope the Catholic Church will some day return to orthodoxy
