This particular Pope gets a lot of heat from a lot of Catholics (including the Catholic hierarchy) for not being "backwards" enough.I find it odd that the Catholic church has so far been the leader in Christian reformation and enlightenment. I always thought of them as so backward with their funny hats and incense.
Ive asked on this forum what the Christians thought about this very matter.
Which is worse, an Atheist who doesn't believe or a Christian who talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk?
I was more or less told those Christians weren't "real" Christians.
Show me one person who can walk the walk....then we will talk.
There’s plenty of folk that “practice what they preach”. Those that do not are referred to as hypocrites.
Which one are you?

I’m not perfect if that’s where you’re headed. But that’s not what walking the walk is about.
So where do you draw the line between not quite perfect and hypocrite?
Not quite perfect verses hypocrite = are you making honest mistakes and then correcting them after learning of them, or are you goofing up on purpose on things you say are wrong or on premeditated situations because you can get away with it because no one is looking????
I’m sorry but I don’t get up in the morning with thoughts of what I can get away with.I would suggest to you that every single person has moments of hypocrisy.
If he thinks otherwise, he's deceived, and thinks too highly of himself.

I read Walt’s question as in “real Christian” practicing what they preach verses “fake Christian” or commonly known as hypocrite......”doing the talk but can’t do the walk” or can’t live by what they claim.I thought we couldn't walk the walk and thus why we needed to repent from thinking that we could. To believing that Jesus could walk the walk for us.
If I could walk the walk, I would save myself.

I have my “temptations” and stumbles in life as any human would. I make my mistakes, but I don’t set myself up or create situations on purpose to act on those.
It goes deeper than religion, it’s called character.
