Francis' wise words of advice to the spoofers

Pope Francis on certainty.

If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good. For me, this is an important key.

If one has the answers to all the questions—that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself.

The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

Uncertainty is in every true discernment that is open to finding confirmation in spiritual consolation.
