I Agree.
But the NSA/IRS will be after the Pope for criminal threats.
I thought the predominant view of the RCC was amillennial.
Francis ought to know... He just met with the devil.
Rome, Italy - It has come to our attention that the liberal media is writing that our Pope referred to Satan. This is a misunderstanding of the translation.
We sincerely try, using Google Translate, to get our Great Pope's words translated properly and swiftly. Unfortunately, the poor quality of Google Translate and the mainstream media bias conspire to thwart our efforts. We apologize sincerely and perpetually for this misunderstanding!
The evil press reported our Great Pope said, "Maybe some of you might say: ‘But Father, how old fashioned you are to speak about the devil in the 21st century!’ But look out because the devil is present! The devil is here… even in the 21st century!"
He actually said, "Maybe some of you might say: ‘But Father, how old fashioned you are to still eat deviled ham in the 21st century!’ But look, the devil isn't present in deviled ham! Deviled ham is just a name. We continue to use it even in the 21st century!"
Thank you.
Satan was not available for comment.
He was on vacation with michelle.

Okay how many read this as “Pope Francis: Santa exists and how to fight him”?
I don’t want discuss if the Rapture theory is correct or not, but does the Catholic church teach it?
Not me. And is that your real thought on the matter?
With respect to the rapture, Catholics certainly believe that the event of our gathering together to be with Christ will take place, though they do not generally use the word "rapture" to refer to this event
The Apostle Peter, writes, "But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. . . . Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire! But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace" (2 Pet. 3:8–14). ref
You don’t have to be Hal Lindsey to believe that Satan is alive and well on Planet Earth.
I haven’t posted my real thought on the matter. I have a little dyslexia to go along with my sense of humor. Thank goodness you don’t appear to be afflicted by either.
I believe that is a satisfactory answer, if they are able to make it into that time frame. That is what the popular Rapture Theory interferes with.
Then why don't you post your real thoughts on the matter? You may not entertain as many people as you think.

Lure him to a trap with cookies?

Well off the top of my head I would say the dead in Christ shall rise first to join the living to be caught up in the heavens to meet Christ. But as far as a "secret" rapture - not Biblical. Every eye will see.
Does it not say in the bible that Christ is coming here, on Earth?
