Pope Francis speaks to the Bishops of Asia while in South Korea

Very interesting words he speaks:
.
An agreement to disagree… so as not to make waves… This sort of superficiality does us great harm.
The notion of agreeing to disagree has almost left me feeling rather uncomfortable. Doing so requires that neither person really believes what he says very strongly. It is false. It is lame. It is insincere. It never gets to the heart of the other person. And it creates more obstacles than it avoids.

Jesus never agreed to disagree with anyone; neither should we. Jesus made plenty of waves; so should we.
