German Bishops’ Conference Says Church in Africa Growing Only Because of Ignorance and Poverty

Church history shows the persecuted church is a growing church.

Church history shows the persecuted church is a growing church.

But never before has the Catholic Church been persecuted by Her own Pope to this extreme. The Franciscan Friars on the Immaculate were a great example of a "growing church" and Bergoglio demolished the order. He has demanded the resignation of traditional bishops and has elevated the most evil heretics to high office.

[elpadre]

The Church was established by God in Christ. Popes are His instruments to accomplish God’s ways in His time, as are we all. When a Pope strays from his calling, the Lord will make it right in some way we may not ever know or understand. Although we sometimes wonder, the Triune God is always in control.

I am not an RC but my denomination has strayed from what I believe is the faith handed down from the saints who went before. However, I do believe I see some movement as the pendulum appears to be swinging back to the right - slowly, maybe minutely, but movement is there.

Being an octogenarian, I have watched the drifting away for many, many years.

Is that how they view their own religion? As food for the ignorant?

Yes. Yes they do.

Although they'll let it slide if you believe something in the NT actually happened. But believe in the events of Genesis 1-11, the books of Esther and Daniel, or the prophecy of Jonah and you're out. But I'm sure none of the Catholics of Africa believe any of that. That's "the redneck heresy!!!"

I'm not aware of the current infallibility status of the currently popular Catholic position that what really happened in the "drowning of the Egyptians" in Exodus is that Pharaoh's chariot got stuck in the mud.
