pope existentialism

See Fratelli tutti, which is Bergoglio’s encyclical. In it, he quotes Gabriel Marcel, an existentialist. Kirkegaard was an existentialist, and others like Marcel relied heavily on his understanding of Christianity.
​
Here I had help from Wikipedia, and I quote.
Kierkegaard addressed themes such as authenticity, anxiety, love, and the irrationality and subjectivity of faith, rejecting efforts to contain God in an objective, logical system.
To Kierkegaard, the focus of theology was on the individual grappling with subjective truth rather than a set of objective claims – a point he demonstrated by often writing under pseudonyms that had different points of view.
He contended that each person must make independent choices, which then constitute his or her existence. Each person suffers from the anguish of indecision (whether knowingly or unknowingly) until committing to a way to live. [Oh, ok, somehow anguish ends?]
Kierkegaard posited three stages of human existence: the aesthetic, the ethical, and the religious, the latter coming after what is often called the leap of faith.[citation needed]
Kierkegaard argued that the universe is fundamentally paradoxical, and that its greatest paradox is the transcendent union of God and humans in the person of Jesus Christ.
He also posited having a personal relationship with God that supersedes all prescribed moralities, social structures, and communal norms, since he asserted that following social conventions is essentially a personal aesthetic choice made by individuals.[citation needed]

1. It is clear to see that existentialism is contrary to Catholic theology, and by quoting Marcel, Bergoglio rejects Catholic theology.
2. I posit asking why Francis and others are in the Catholic Church is a dumbass question, and I used to be a dumbass. The Teacher will answer such questions in Heaven.​

I just finished tutoring Altan, 15. He is perceptive and intuitive and recognizes truth. Young people give me hope.
