Better to be atheist than a fake Catholic -Pope Francis admonishes Catholics



Pope Francis has slammed the ‘double life’ of some Catholics, insisting one is better off being an atheist than a hypocrite Christian.



Better to be atheist, than a fake Catholic - Pope Francis admonishes Catholics

The tough-talking Pope has never shied away from making controversial statements, having succeeded Pope Benedict XVI as head of the Vatican in 2013.

According to him, “it is a scandal to say one thing and do another”, referring to such an act as living “a double life”

In his view all Catholics – whether a member or a priest – should practice what they preach, suggesting that it was better to be an atheist than a hypocritical Christian.

During a sermon, Pope Francis quipped: “There are those who say, ‘I am very Catholic, I always go to mass, I belong to this and that association’….”

“There are many Catholics who are like this and they cause scandal. How many times have we all heard people say ‘if that person is a Catholic, it is better to be an atheist’.”

The Pope also called on all well-meaning Catholics and true Christians not to push atheists away, but rather embrace them because there are “good atheists” in the world.
