re: Pope Francis endorses evolution and big bang

If I had to guess the Pope, being a Jesuit, meant that mankind is redeemed through Christ. That does not mean that every individual that makes up mankind is saved. He means that anyone, through their free will, can accept the gift of salvation through Christ. I could be wrong of course.

Well yes this is common Chrsitian orthodoxy, but that's not what he was insinuating. He made it appear that even atheists could be redeemed without believing or outside of faith in God.
What Francis is doing is the worse kind of pandering imaginable and should be ridiculed instead of lauded. He makes statements that are just vague enough to make the non Catholic embrace and love him, all the while knowing that according to Catholic doctrine the non Cathoic is considered a heritic and doomed to hell. Shamefull.
