Anti-Pope Francis: Better living like An Atheist Than Like a Sinner?

en.news  Pope Francis criticised at the January 2 general audience daily mass-goers who - unsurprisingly - nevertheless remain sinners. Francis himself is a daily mass-goer.

"I am a sinner and fallible."

"He who does not sin is not human"

He said (Italian video): "People who go to church every day and then hate others and talk badly about them are a scandal: better living as an atheist rather than giving a counter-witness of being Christian."

Francis has a habit of insulting others. Atheism is the ultimate sin against God.

Francis further implied that the sacrifice of Mass is unnecessary: "Our God doesn't require sacrifices to win his favour. Our God needs nothing. In our prayer, he asks only that we keep a channel of communication open."

If God "needs nothing" why would he ask us "to keep a channel of communication open"?
