He’s not satan, but according to Fr. Gabriele Amorth, an Italian exorcist, there are satanic cult members in the Vatican.
According to him, “There are priests, monsignors, and even cardinals!”
Well that’s the signless event—that can happen at a moments notice (today or tomorrow). Doesn’t mean this false prophet can’t begin his father’s work before we’re outta here?
By personalizing Christ I meant, more of boxing Him in....I see what you’re saying now.
“The pope during WWII maintained a neutral stance.”
Not true. That was KGB propaganda to damage the credibility of the Catholic church.
Save
He’s a political lefty. He’s P.C. He is persecuting Catholics and elevating anti-Catholics. About once a week, he throws out some prolefeed for the “traditionalists” by talking about the devil or Mary.
Bookmarked.
“...is the Pope Catholic?”
Not sure anymore!
Obama and Pope Francis are the mirror opposite of Reagan and Pope Jean-Paul II. A great darkness is in this world.
Jorge Bergoglio does not deserve to be called Pope. How a group of supposedly sane Cardinals could have elected this hack left wing wind bag is beyond me. He portrays himself as being humble. Yet, he never shuts his mouth, and is always telling one group or another how they should live their lives, mostly in poverty. He tried to “fix” the synod he called but got caught because he was so inept and heavy handed it became obvious. As a Catholic, I anxiously await the arrival of his successor. In the meantime may our triune God protect us.
This pope sucks.
Perhaps, when the white smoke emerges from the chimney, Raymond Cardinal Burke will soon emerge onto the balcony as Pope Leo XIV and spend the very first week of his papacy accepting curial resignations. Perhaps Benedict XVI would consent to play a significant role and Leo XIV he will be surrounded by hundreds of Knights and Dames of Malta at his coronation.
Dare we hope that he have a serious discussion with Archbishop Blase Cupich of Chicago and Donald Cardinal Wuerl of DC and Walter Cardinal Kasper and Reinhard Cardinal Marx of Munich and Freising and others like them as to the joys of the quiet post-retirement life in a cloister sealed like a bank vault where each can engage in a life of prayer, penance and self-denial and offer them prepared resignation forms, accepted upon signature?
At one time I was very supportive of Pope Francis but when strange stuff started to come out from the recent marriage and family synod, I ended up dropping a tag line in reference to the Pope.
We can hope. Some time back I remember reading that Pope Francis said he could end up doing no more then another 2 or 3 years before stepping down.
What a BIG difference 25-30 years has made between St. John Paul II and Pope Francis!
Really, why then did the Vatican apologize?

Face it, Catholicism is a facade. That’s why the catechism altered the second commandment. Shame on Catholics. DO NOT ADD TO OR TAKE FROM THE BIBLE!
What may I ask are you babbling about?
What may I ask are you babbling about?
Just a little ‘ole issue about not adding to or taking away from scripture (Rev. 22:19). Some Christian sects have no problem with ignoring the 2nd commandment...guess they know better than God.
Oh ye of little faith...God would never have allowed any manmade government to destroy Jews & Christians. Did Jesus tell the apostles to remain mum during times of persecution, or did he tell them to go out to faraway lands and preach? BTW, there are numerous historical documents and photographs documenting Catholic support of the Nazi party. Nevermind the truth, though.

This does not negate the heroism of those who, like Pope Pius XII, were actively involved in assisting and rescuing the victims, and this not on an incidental basis, but on a grand scale.
Jewish Holocaust researcher Gary L, Krupp found evidence that Pius XII secretly moved Jews out of Europe. He conducted dozens of video interviews, among them a witness account of a priest who revealed a secret “underground railroad,” directly ordered by the Pope, sending more than 10,000 Jews to the U.S. via the Dominican Republic. Many countries would not accept “Jews,” so they were given false baptismal papers to travel as Catholics. Pius successfully stopped the deportation of tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews when he appealed to the Regent of Hungary. Similarly, he desperately tried to impact the deportation policies of many other countries to, in his words, “save this vibrant community.”
Rabbi David G. Dalin, Ph.D., a widely published scholar of American Judaism and author of the 2005 book The Myth of Hitler’s Pope, provides a trove of information about Pius’ efforts in his piece “A Righteous Gentile: Pope Pius XII and the Jews.” For instance:
"... In June 1942, Pius spoke out against the mass deportation of Jews from Nazi-occupied France, further instructing his Papal Nuncio in Paris to protest to Marshal Henri Petain, Vichy France’s Chief of State, against “the inhuman arrests and deportations of Jews from the French occupied zone to Silesia and parts of Russia.”
The London Times of October 1, 1942, explicitly praises him for his condemnation of Nazism and his public support for the Jewish victims of Nazi terror. “A study of the words which Pope Pius XII has addressed since his accession,” noted the Times, “leaves no room for doubt. He condemns the worship of force and its concrete manifestations in the suppression of national liberties and in the persecution of the Jewish race.”
Pius XII’s Christmas addresses of 1941 and 1942, broadcast over Vatican radio to millions throughout the world, also help to refute the fallacious claim that Pope Pius was “silent.” Indeed, as The New York Times described Pius’ 1941 Christmas address in its editorial the following day, it specifically applauded the Pope, as a “lonely” voice of public protest against Hitler.
