My guess is that the Cardinals are by and large leftists. They wanted this clown Pope because they knew he could be controlled. Further I bet that Ratzinger retired because these same Cardinals made life hell when he would not drive the church as they wanted.
homo/pedi priests
coverups by higherups
even the vatican bank was poorly run
Are there sinful Protestant clergy?
Have you ever heard the story of the blind man describing an elephant?
I feel for my fellow FReepers who are Catholics.
Pray for greater holiness in the Church. That's something we should be able to agree on.
Kiss off.
His expression is as expected, but I thought he’d have a pony-tail. He doesn’t have enough hair for that. Ah well.
Not surprised. Vatican has been compromised for a long time.
One example is the case of Cardinal Rampollo, a Vatican secretary of state. Cardinal Rampolla was a free mason and a member of the Ordo Templi Orientis. He was the leading candidate for Pope during the conclave of 1903, but Franz Joseph, emperor of Austria Hungary exercised his legitimate authority to veto Rampallo’s candidacy.
We really have to take a hard look at the Vatican and its complicity with the NWO and fulfillment of End Times prophecy.
Really dware? Really? False religion? So, what in your opinion is the "true" religion?
Sure, and evolution is acceptable out of the belly of Rome. Some will stick with stuck on stupid. Christ said as recorded in Mark 13:22 For FALSE Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, IF it were possible, even the elect.
23 BUT take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
That would be by necessity sola scripture forbidden by the belly of Rome. Imagine that denying Christ, was not that one of Peter's shortcomings???????
Add in OWR and I think you’ve got it.
...“scientific pantheism,”... appeals to atheistic scientists. It is an 'updated version of the pagan belief that the universe itself is God, ....that the Earth is at least semi-divine....In the Gaia Principle, Mother Earth is alive, and even, some think, aware in some ill-defined, mystical way."....
This "Gaia" is suppose to make followers all warm and fuzzy?...Idiocy of men has no boundaries ...
She looks a little green.
Catholics need to mount up or run from the catholic church until the leadership returns to the centrality of Jesus Christ....currently and for far too long it's going down a deadly road....
The infiltration and destruction of the Catholic “faith” has been noted in many encyclicals. Thomism was the epitome of Reason and Faith and Aristotelian Logic. (All human institutions should be purged now and then because of the nature of man and the nature of power). Truth/God can never be blurred or ignored like it is with this so-called pope.
It looks as if VII was the total annihilation of the Catholic Canon and Truth and the elevation of Satanism, if you judge the “Church” by its “fruits”.
Of course, many Protestant groups went to the dark side decades ago with Lambeth in 1930 where people become their own god and decided their own truth, with maybe the intellectual “wisdom”of their female Lesbian “pastors’. But then, that rejection of hierarchy and Natural roles is essential to all Protestantism, although hierarchy and Natural Roles is essential for Truth and Order and Life in all animals.
Mother Gaia worship only exists when Truth is relative and Natural Law is rejected, and not based on thousands of years of Debate and the understanding of Natural Law Theory (Reason and Science).
Without understanding God’s Works (Natural Law), the understanding of God’s Word (the Bible) is impossible, when Reason/Mind/Soul—the only attribute which makes us in the image of God-—is eliminated for only emotions “feelings” of the base animal instincts.
Your understanding of Mariology is puerile—The Catholic Church is the only reason women were given dignity and worth in cultures. Without the rise of the Catholic Church and the pedestal Mary was put on (by God)-—women would still be treated the way they are in Asian (non-Christian) and Muslim cultures.
Only Christianity elevated women-—but Protestantism destroyed the Natural Roles (hierarchy) of women and men-——to deform human nature and create an irrational, vile, unnatural use of males and females. (Lambeth 1930).
Think about it. Natural Law Theory is what created the US Constitution (Lockean Philosophy of Individualism and Natural Rights from God). Natural Law is the basis of the Catholic Canon- (it used to be)—which the Protestants eventually TOTALLY threw out by the 1800s and 1900s with women “pastors” and “queens’, etc.
Ayn Rand herself, an atheist, (but Rationalist) stated that she would NEVER vote for a female President of the USA-—because they would be a CIC and women should NEVER rule over males in such a circumstance. Their natures are entirely different and it is emasculation to have adult males “led” by women. Protestants want to erase that Natural distinction of male and female, which has led to the idea (Marxism) that women and men are interchangeable. It is evil to deny the Natures of Male and Female which are so different and necessary for the future emotional health of a culture-—or try to warp natural identity formation in childhood so males become so warped and mentally ill they become like a Jenner (feelings rule) .
The denial of Natural Law destroys Reason and Truth and understanding in children and makes Evil, Good-—where you actually mutilate and destroy God’s Design of the human body-—for a sterile, purposeless, freak show and “glorify” that evil to the children to warp another generation. Vice breeds vice and without Virtue, culture will collapse.
Who, in the Vatican staff, is responsible for candidate selection for these posts?
* Hans Schellnhuber responded, “I am very at home here with the pagan rituals of Mother Earth. I don’t know why this is an issue.” *
It looks more and more like the pope has never looked into the Bible. A REAL leader of the Catholics would never have picked Schellnhuber .
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
~Exodus 20:3
Luther's human tradition of Sola Scriptura isn't part of Sacred Scripture or Sacred Tradition, which is why Christ's Church condemns it.
Scripture ALONE as the sole or ultimate rule of faith is simply an error.
God did not elect this Pope. Do they make the votes public ?
??? So faithful Catholics are to run away until... until what. Would you tell a Marine platoon to run the other way until it is safe to take that position? No. Now is the time to defend the Church and bring her back to the truth. Popes come and popes go but the Church endures and will endure. Christ Himself said so. "And the gates of hell shall not prevail against her." Those of true faith do not run away they run towards the fight. If not us, then whom? We, the faithful, ARE the Church!
Gaia is green because of the trace gas CO2. These Gaia worshippers actually want to destroy Gaia by lowering CO2. They are false prophets.
Gaia Hypothesis
The Gaia hypothesis is an ecological hypothesis proposing that the biosphere and the physical components of the Earth (atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere) are closely integrated to form a complex interacting system that maintains the climatic and biogeochemical conditions on Earth in a preferred homeostasis. Originally proposed by James Lovelock as the earth feedback hypothesis,[1] it was named the Gaia Hypothesis after the Greek supreme goddess of Earth.[2] The hypothesis is frequently described as viewing the Earth as a single organism. Lovelock and other supporters of the idea now call it Gaia theory, regarding it as a scientific theory and not mere hypothesis, since they believe it has passed predictive tests.[3]
