It's all right to complain if done in a prayerful manner, directed toward God. God can take it. The pope recently said, “The Lord hears, He listens to our complaints.”
The pope was commenting on some biblical readings.
He explained how these readings applied in today’s world, by mentioning three examples of people living in conditions of extreme suffering: malnourished children, refugees, the terminally ill. The worst thing a Christian can do is to look at those who suffer “as though they were an [abstract moral conundrum].” “I do not like it when people speak about tough situations in an academic and not a human manner, sometimes with statistics ... and that’s it. In the Church there are many people in this situation,” the Pope said. When one looks at people’s suffering as a moral problem, they become closed and everything turns into an “intellectual game.”
