Francis in his own words: There was no 'multiplication' of loaves: it was just 'sharing'.

I’m not even religious and the phony religious commie crap from Francis offends me.

Does a bear crap in the woods? Yes
Is the Pope Catholic? Not anymore

There is nobody else on the Global scene doing what this man is doing to even suggest he has competition for that title.

You are so right !

We all need way more Bible than Bergoglio, who is antiBible.

There’s more to it than that. Give Catholics some credit. You have to say the magic word(s). I’m not sure if it’s the Hail Marys or rosary but I mean you have to do your part.

I believe it was St. Jerome who saw the story of the multiplication of the loaves as not only the recounting of a true event, but also an allegory in Scripture about Christ and salvation.

He suggested that the five loaves represented the Old Law in the five books of the Pentateuch, and the two fish represented either the great prophets Isaiah and Elijah, or Moses and Abraham.

And the "multiplication of the loaves" represented the endless abundance of God's grace as manifested in Jesus Christ. This grace is so abundant and so far beyond the comprehension of the followers of Christ at the time that they could not "eat" it all (i.e., they could no understand it fully). So the twelve baskets of leftovers represented the grace which would be "eaten" by the human race later -- through the continuation of salvation history through the Church in its mission on earth (i.e., the Twelve apostles).

I had a friend who experienced a multiplication of food at a church potluck. There was a mistake in the bulletin that made it sound like there was a dinner for the parish, when it was really just potluck for the fairly small prayer group. The food brought by the group fed several dozen more people than it should have. The prayer group members were astonished. The casserole dishes just didn’t empty out.

I have no interest in a God who does not do miracles. Let God be God.

I’ve always thought it was more division than multiplication, take one loaf and divide it, hand one half to someone and the other to another, then they continue to do the same, the miracle is in faith, each time the loaf is halved it becomes like the original half, and everyone does the same until all are fed, at the end the fragments are more than the five loaves they started with. Jesus always does things abundantly. My 2 cents.

Another day without Algebra. Though the Communicative, Distributive, and Associative Laws of Mathematics continue to prevail.

Interesting take on it. Just as Jesus does on the Sermon on the Mount, takes the old “rules” and expands them. But expands them so much that it requires God’s power and grace to meet them.

“Lord, if this is our punishment, then I can only accept it with contrition. But I will not follow that scumbag into heresy.”

I am no longer a Catholic though I am Catholic by faith. My church left me, I did not leave it. My new church is Protestant as it hews to the faith the catholic church once did. I would most gladly return to my Catholic Church if it goes back to its original tenets and the Pope stays the hell out of politics.

The Pope, not my Pope, is a Marxist. He is destroying my former church one day at a time. He is not a good man.

Everyone has a right to be be stupid, only Francis abuses the privilege.
