I always thought that if I were a priest distributing Communion at a Mass and Bill Clinton presented himself, I would pull out a prepared Tootsie Pop Drop and say “And here’s a special one just for you!”

More signs of the end times. Now you do realize that there will be more than just Catholics on the Glassy Sea, but you can rest assured that only the truly worthy will be there. Maranatha Lord Jesus!

As a Lutheran, I am drawn to the Orthodox practice of providing prosphora, bread that is not the Eucharist, for the sake of promoting as much Christian unity as is possible without profaning the Eucharist.

The Great Apostasy and the Abomination of desolation have begun in earnest.

We have an anti-pope in the Chair of Peter:

Who gives legitimacy to same-sex “civil unions.”

Who defends sodomy, and has blasphemous encyclicals, ghost-written by unrepentant sodomites, to alter the constant teachings of the Church against homosexual acts.

Who ratifies the mortal sin of people living in public adultery - and then sets up a situation to force priests to become complicit in the sin, by distributing the holy Eucharist to such people.

Who advances the cause of pagan Gaia worship.

Who defends and encourages pedophiles and pederasts.

Who regularly misquotes or quotes out of context the words of Christ.

Who publicly despises traditional Catholic teaching and traditional Catholics.

Who hates orthodox liturgy, and intends to obliterate the true Mass.

Who disavows and disrespects the natural rights of sovereign nations.

Who promotes all manner of heresy, typically found under the liberal banner of Modernism.

Who follows and preaches the Marxist doctrine of liberation theology ...

This is but a partial list of Jorge Bergoglio’s false papacy, which by facts is null and void. Benedict XVI is still the rightful pope. Bergoglio need to be thrown out on his Marxist ass, prosecuted, and then executed for his crimes against the Church.

I’m not Catholic. The first, and only, time I’ve taken Communion was at a Catholic Church in Sedona, Arizona. Was that wrong?

This is how Bergoglio works: little steps, mostly by OTHER PEOPLE, but on countless fronts. He attacks the Church mostly by his thunderous silences.

There are so many fronts, it’s impossible to say which one will force Catholics out of “the Catholic Church”—openly and juridically.

Bergoglio and his people hope that THEY will own all the buildings and control all the juridical mechanisms of the Church, so they can proclaim that the Catholics have “gone into schism.”

Will it be when Cupich, McElroy, Wuerl, O’Malley, Dolan, et al., finally go just a little too far in their long-standing support for abortion—with no action or word from Bergoglio?

Will it be when these same bishops’ support for sodomy becomes just a little bit too explicit—with no action or word from Bergoglio?

Will it be when a non-retired Catholic bishop “in good standing” ordains a female—with no action or word from Bergoglio?

Will it be some celebration of this “ecumenical mass” by some prelate who is a little bit too prominent to be ignored—with no action or word from Bergoglio?

Non-Catholics have been receiving communion at the Novus Ordo “mass” for decades now. JPII’s Code of Canon Law authorizes it.
