How Did Jeremiah Treat The Poor

Growing up Catholic, I have always been fascinated by the Pope. This man is the head of my religion, so I was interested in learning the history behind the current Pope, Pope Francis, and his predecessors. I was also interested in finding out how the Pope’s role has changed over time and what each individual has done for the religion as a whole.

Jeremiah Judah’s corrupt kings Jeremiah is commonly known as the “weeping prophet” because of his deep commitment to and empathy and compassion for the people of Judah; to whom he was chosen to chastise. He was a prophet during the reign of five kings including: Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. King Josiah had brought about reform throughout Judah and Jerusalem, restoring the people to proper worship of God. However, when the king died, subsequent kings returned to the corrupt religious practices of: idolatry, child sacrifice, and worship of Baal and other false gods, which had been established by previous kings.

The Old Testament prophetic books are filled with everyday knowledge that guides believers to live righteous before God. The prophets such as Daniel, Jeremiah, and Isiah equips the Christian perfectly to avoid any mistake made by the children of Israel in the times of the prophets. , Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Micah were three prophets that were passionate about Yahweh being high and lifted up. These prophets spoke truthfully concerning the issues of their time. Their life is a detailed example for all believer on fronting idolatry, social injustice, and religious ritualism.

Jeremiah did nothing but simply left things in God's hands. He allowed Holgren to make a fool out of himself and surprisingly, he healed Holgren's face from those unsightly sores.

Pope Francis is the Pope for the Roman Catholic Church, he is the spiritual leader for the church with regard to doctrine and contemporary issues of the church. Pope Francis’s address was influenced by the Roman Catholic religion and American historical figures that were leaders or activists that desired equal opportunity and freedom for all people.

Pope Francis is the present day spiritual leader of the Catholic Church, also known as the bishop of Rome or pontiff. He is the very first pope from Latin American, Argentina specifically, and is now known as the first pope ever that has addressed Congress. According to the guardian.com, Pope Francis, “electrified Congress with a call for action on climate change, immigration, poverty and capital punishment, laying down a challenge for the United States to transcend division and rediscover its ideals” (Carroll 1). He addressed these issues and drew a great interest from the audience for fifty-one minutes in the chamber of the House of Representatives.

Pope Francis was influenced by the Theology of Liberation, by Gustavo Gutierrez, in his upbringing as a priest and that has inspired him to implement those ideas in his reign as a pope in becoming a more relatable figure of the Catholic Church for both Catholics and non-Catholics.

Zedekiah child of Josiah was made ruler of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. King Zedekiah sent Jehukal child of Shelemiah with Zephaniah child of Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with this message: Please ask the Master our God for us. Now Jeremiah was allowed to travel among the place, for he had not yet been placed in jail. Pharaoh's armed force went out of Egypt, and when the Babylonians who were attacking Jerusalem heard the report about them and they pulled back from Jerusalem. The Lord of Israel, said to them that the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will seize it and burn it down. Jeremiah began to leave the city to go to the region of Benjamin to get his offer of the property. Irijah child of Shelemiah captured him. They had him beaten and detained in the house of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a jail. Jeremiah was put into a cell in the prison, where he remained quite a while. Zedekiah then gave orders for Jeremiah to be put in the yard and given a piece of bread from the road every day until all the bread in

“Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed, and do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place” Jeremiah 22:3. Clearly, in this Bible verse God speaks to Jeremiah telling him to treat his fellow men fairly, and to help those who have been hurt by others, those who are foreigners, orphans, and widows, and that no one should kill an innocent person. Ultimately, the prophet Jeremiah is instructing us to follow what God says and be fair and just to others. One might think about this quote when facing a problem in which someone or something is being discriminated against. As an example, the United States

Roman Catholicism has long been seen as one of the most unwelcoming religions to date. With its strict guidelines and little to no forgiveness, the church is sometimes feared by other religious groups around the globe. Though lately, there seems to be promise being brought to the Catholic religion. The election of the 266th pope, Pope Francis, has ushered in extensive change for both Catholicism and the way it is perceived by non-Catholics. These reforms of the current pope, although many are controversial, drive the public to believe the church is becoming more open-minded and less austere in its manner.

Have you ever heard of Pope Francis? Well, he is the current Pope in today's world; and boy, is he amazing! The qualities of a great leader I think he best portrays are his respect, influence, and kindness. These qualities may seem normal at first, but once I tell you about them, you are going to understand how amazing they are in his ways.

At 76-year-old, Jorge Mario Bergolio was elected supreme pontiff in early March of 2013, making him the first pope of the Americas. Born in Buenos Aires on December 17th 1960, he has changed the face of the Catholic church with his embrace of poverty and chastity.
