I don’t think Pope Francis has anything near the level of support that Pope John Paul II did. The Antichrist is supposed to be really really popular.
More than anything else I believe that this Pope is in need of prayers for God to draw him closer to Himself. That’s a prayer nobody could argue with whether you like the Pope or not.
It does seem reasonable for the Church to say the guy can’t represent the Church if he is claiming that the Pope is the Antichrist. Im not sure how a chain of command could move forward with something like that going on.
I am more in line with your thinking. Frankie is a deluded fool seduced by the lies of the left in general and Marxist doctrine specifically. The worst of it is he has filled the Vatican fellow travelers so when we are finally rid of him his replacement may be just as bad.
Is it reasonable that this pope can represent the Church when he worships pagan idols (Pachamama), denies the existence of Hell, denies the divinity of Jesus Christ (while He was on earth), supports homo "civil unions", praises abortionists (like Emma Bonino), declares Communists have stolen the christian flag, declares God wills the plurality of religions in union with a muslim imam, etc?
The very least Francis could be doing is raising theological questions on the assertions made in the Islamic codex which denies free will in their code of observance and behavior known as Sharia. Plays with suppressors of the faith.
Francis continuing destructive confusing pontificating on temporal worldly social behavior,which has nothing to do with and avoids articles of faith and morals. Then rebukes or restrains contemplative religious orders to favor such behavior. Thus reassuring Islamists acceptance of a false creed.
By refusing to question and expound on the profound differences with the claims made by Islam and its followers By reaching out to and defend what Judeo/Christian beliefs are. Or challenge the claims that Islamist make they are following God’s command using deceit and deception when they ruthlessly murder and torture non believers and destroy their edifices .Simply because of its assertion of being monotheistic. Then when Francis winds up making a point of honoring it and placing islam on an equal level because of that claim. Is leading to misguided conversions. Which is the result of my so called Pope playing games with this so called mono theistic cult and is creating a serious fractures within Christianity and The Roman Rite .
