On the first day of 2025, Pope Francis warned Christians against “imagining or inventing a God in the abstract” during his Mass for the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God.

During his homily in St. Peter’s Basilica, Francis said there is a temptation, “which many people today find attractive, but can also mislead many Christians,” to hold this view, which is said was “associated with some vague religious feeling or fleeting emotion.”
