Pope Francis does not sound too different than the UOJ "Lutherans"
“The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all
of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists.
Everyone! And this Blood makes us children of God of the first class. We are
created children in the likeness of God and the Blood of Christ has redeemed us
all. And we all have a duty to do good. And this commandment for everyone to do
good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace.
If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing
good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of
encounter: We need that so much. We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I
don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: We will meet one another
there.”
