The Essence of Christ

"My kingdom is not of this world," said Jesus. [1]   By His grandest miracle, His resurrection, He proved His statement to be true.

Because Jesus was not of this world, He was not interested in either politics or social justice issues. [2]  Such are matters of this world, not His.  He only concern was for the salvation of souls.

The torture, the torment and the crucifixion of Jesus together is the ultimate expression of God's unconditional love.

To enter Heaven, one must accept God's love [3] in order to join Christ in His kingdom.

[2] Unlike this pope, Jesus had never been an advocate of social justice; Jesus was about saving souls, one at a time, and about giving up ownership of and attachment to all things worldly, and begging for alms while serving others.  This applies especially to the religious, like the pope.  Of course, he does not live like that.  He is definitely no Saint Francis of Assisi.
[3] Acceptance of God's love requires the rejection of Satan.  Rejecting Satan means repentance of all of one's sins, including those known only to oneself and God, and to sin no more (see http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+8%3A11&version=NKJV).
