He was really? Well look at it this way, you should be glad the Pope is causing confusion that way your hope that the Catholic Church will collapse might come true.

You Protestant fundies have been saying every Pope since the 16th century is the anti-Christ. There is no one anti-Christ save Lucifer, the anti-Christ is anyone who does the work of Satan or man glorifying himself and not God, distorting the Creator/creature relationship.

So I don’t accept millenariasm of any kind As early as Saint Polycarp of Smyrma, a disciple of Saint John, anyone who rejects Christ and the Cross is of the devil and is an anti-Christ. Saint Irenaeus in 189 warned 2nd century orthodox Christians to be wary of any man who says he knows who the anti-Christ is because that man will be easily lead astray.

According to prophetic passages from the OT, many Church Fathers think the Anti-Christ will be a political Jewish leader whose descendants were from the tribe of Dan.

As Cardinal Newman noted in dealing with the confession Protestants anti-Papal and anti-Christ charges against it. If one who is “Pope” turns out to be “The Anti-Christ, then that in fact supports the claim of the Divinely ordained role of the Popes from Peter down to the the day because that would mean the Anti-Christ overthrew the Bishop of Rome since the anti-Christ simulates Christ. The Bishop of Rome carries on the role of Saint Peter, thus all the Popes, who despite sin, held the Apostolic faith, actually supports the claims of the Catholic Church. The Devil knows his true enemy and the one he is constantly attacking ain’t the local backwoods protestant church in Green Acres USA.

Go back and read the Gospels. John was the most beloved apostle of Jesus Christ, and he was also the one whose love of Christ was so complete that he was the only one of the Twelve who did not die a martyr's death.

And yet it was Simon Peter -- the most flawed one of them all, who would later deny Christ three times on the day of His Passion and death -- who Christ selected as "the Rock upon which I will build My Church."

Just something to think about ...

The rock Jesus spoke about was the TRUTH that Peter spoke, "Jesus Christ is Lord."

You pin the entire basis of which the catholic church was formed on one sentence.

My faith is based on EVERY SENTENCE Jesus spoke.

I stand on that truth, which is the rock.

You stand on sinking sand.

"claiming the movement gains followers by stoking fear"

I seem to recall Jesus using the same tactic.

I never thought I would live to see the day when the question; “Is the Pope Catholic?”, would no longer be rhetorical.

So Christianity had it wrong for 1500 years — until Martin Luther came along?

... what do you expect from a “pope” who protects and promotes predatory, criminal homosexuals

You're so right on.

They never mention and the Pope is included, the molestation of children and the damage it causes them for the rest of their lives and is looked on by Muslims as it's nothing.

It has been apparent to many and I think more are coming to realize just how wicked this man is.

He is not stupid and he is not making gaffes. He knows exactly what he is doing and everything he does or says is purposeful. He organizes what he will be saying and doing, days, weeks and years in advance. Just like everyone else does that have schedules to arrange and keep.

He plans and purposefully promotes an agenda which is in conflict with Christianity and this is only one example.

Pray for everyone else to the see light and walk away from this abomination.

Nope, just catholics did. The rest of us who stand on Jesus' truth had it right from the beginning.

The difference between you and I very simply put is: I stand on Jesus' truth. You stand on Peter, a flawed man.

That's a good point. They can tell their husbands, but they shouldn't nag. I didn't reread that passage today. here' is the scripture...

Peter 3:1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.

And just whose side is he on?

As if ANYONE has to ask.

I guess he'd chastise Jesus as well for being so intolerant as to say........

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

The Bible tells us to go out and preach the gospel, to bring people to Christ, this man doesn’t even follow the Bible.

but they shouldn't nag

Absolutely. That warning is true of all evangelistic endeavors. Nagging behavior will never get you anywhere and is probably counter-productive.

I actually agree with much of what you say. I wish for all people to be saved but we know this current pope is anti-Christ. I’m not sayin THE anti-Christ because I do not know.
