Pope at Mass: Christ is the center of salvation.
At Mass Tuesday morning Pope Francis said spoke of Christianity and the Cross. He said: "Christianity is not a philosophical doctrine, it's not a program for life survival or education, or for peacemaking. These are consequences. Christianity is a person, a person raised on the Cross, a person who annihilated himself to save us, who became sin. Just as sin was raised up in the desert, here God who was made man and made sin for us was raised up. All our sins were there. You cannot understand Christianity without understanding this profound humiliation of the Son of God who humbled himself and became a servant unto death, even death on a cross, in order to serve us".
