Methinks the RCC is preparing for a religio/political existence ... during a particular reign ... the groundwork obviously being laid down as we speak.
I wish the Pope would allow us to go back to the Mass I grew up with. I can’t stand the new version. I went through 13 years of Catholic School and memorized every word of the Mass and went to Mass every week for 40 years and that horrible Pope Benedict had to screw it up. No wonder people are leaving the church.......what made him change the entire Mass????????? Even yesterday I was mumbling how dumb a move it was as I say every Sunday. Pope Benedict was the worst Pope we have ever had....and quit his post to boot.
Well, the “RCC” certainly isn’t preparing for it, and there are many Catholics who are freaked out by this world-government “Pope” who seems to believe he’s just been handed the reins of a giant NGO directed at promoting crazy progressivist causes. Wait till his encyclical on the environment comes out.
One of his advisors is Leonardo Boff, who was forbidden to publish by the Vatican back in better days and left the priesthood - he’s now living in Brazil with his wife or girlfriend, I’m not sure which, and had been completely marginalized by BXVI. Even the sometimes goofy JPII cast him out. But he’s back now, and he and his ilk have the perfect hand puppet in the egotistical Obama-clone now in the Vatican.
I think this pope is hard at work destroying what’s left of the RCC.
