Does Pope Francis Really Believe the Gospels?

For the past 15 weeks I’ve been singing in an Anglican-Catholic choir and really enjoying it.

I’ve sung in Episcopal choirs (and done a bit of opera) before, though it’s been awhile. But here I’ve really begun to get into the drama and symbolism of the Mass to the point where the liturgy has begun to poke at my agnosticism of Jesus’ divinity a bit.

Though I still have more doubts than ever, I see now more than before, in my ehem...senior years, how greatly western civilization has been advanced through the Christian narrative in music, art, literature and even in science.

I still hold affectionately my time spent in synagogue, and yet read my Torah and Haftorahs faithfully on Saturdays. But it’s as if the whole weekend for me now...and indeed the week where I must practice for Sunday, has become tied up in Holiness.

At least that’s how I relate to it.

Shalom.

And oh...I think I see things now more clearly than even The Pope. And I never thought I’d be able to say that!

“...They are possessed by the empty desire of being talked about, and they know they would never succeed in this were they to say only what has been always said. It may be that they have persuaded themselves that in all this they are really serving God and the Church - in reality they only offend both, less perhaps by their works themselves than by the spirit in which they write and by the encouragement they are giving to the extravagances of the Modernists...”

Something’s been really wrong for 50 + years.

Thank you for that information, but I have no idea why you shared it with me. Would it not have been more appropriate to share it with a chrstian?

Because we had bandied “religion” back and forth over the years, an because I’ve always respected your take on things.

The hands which Jesus lifts to bless God in heaven are the same hands which gave bread to the hungry crowd. We can imagine how those people passed the loaves of bread and the fish from hand to hand, until they came to those farthest away.Jesus generated a kind of electrical current among His followers, as they shared what they had, made it a gift for others, and so ate their fill. Unbelievably, there were even leftovers: enough to fill seven baskets. (emphasis added by my correspondent).

Bwahahaha. What a jokester. If I remember correctly he commented on this gospel reading not too long after he was elected and referred to it as a "miracle of sharing". He just gets more and more entertaining though. Love the "electrical current" reference. ROFL.

Pope Francis left no doubt about his radical leftist leanings, as soon as he was elected Pope he called at his side the most extremist leaders founders and promotors of the Marxist liberation theology, a movement concocted by the KGB to infiltrate not only the Catholic Church but also most of the other churches and religious religious organizations, among then, the World Council of Churches.

The liberation theology was proscribed and some of its leaders silenced by order of H.H. Pope John Paul II for trying to interpret the Gospels through the Marxist class struggle and the main tenets of an ideology that have been condemned by the Magisterium and all the Popes from Leon XIII to Benedict XVI as “intrinsically perverse” as was called by Pope Pius XI in his Encyclical letter “Divini Redemptoris”.

Even before being elected Pope, Argentinian Archbishop Bergoglio was a staunch enemy of capitalism using the worse epithets to describe its legacy to the world while exalting the virtues of socialism disregarding its horrendous legacy of genocide, misery and exploitation of those who they falsely promise to help.

Liberation Theology Triumphant as Work of John Paul II & Benedict XVI is Completely Wiped Out."

THE “D’ESCOTO CASE” AND THOSE WHO WANT TO WIPE OUT THE WORK DONE BY JOHN PAUL II AND BENEDICT XVI

”In the era of Bergoglio, the Vatican has practically rehabilitated Liberation Theology, which came into existence in the 1960s and has caused untold disasters, mainly in Latin America, by fostering the Church’s subordination to Marxist thought.

Over the past months there have been startling occurrences, such as the “landing” of Gustavo Gutierrez (“the father” of Liberation Theology) in the Vatican itself. A year ago, “L'Osservatore Romano” published large extracts from one of his books praising his attacks against neo- liberalism. This summer there was another highly symbolic gesture, which went almost unnoticed, in relation to Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann.“ (a Marxist Maryknoll that as Secretary of State of Castro’s puppet of the Nicaraguan Sandinista regime was relieved of his religious duties by H.H. John Paul II)

From Day One. Benedict's habitual way of approaching any kind of statement was always a model of defining things precisely, making careful and necessary distinctions. I thought his whole abdication statement was NOT LIKE BENEDICT.

It did not at all satisfy people's natural questions about whether it was free, non-coerced, total, or even canonical. And within days it got even more garbled.

If he's not freely and entirely renouncing the papacy, why is he still dressed in papal garb? (If he's NOT still pope, it's actually improper for him to wear papal dress: white cassock with matching white cape and with white fringed sash, pectoral cross, and white skullcap)--- this may seem trivial to some, but actually Pope Benedict was very cognizant of the significance of different kinds of ecclesial dress.

What's with this novel title of "Pope Emeritus"? It's not canonical; and of course he has the right to call himself that if he wants, but the thing is, it's undefined and ambiguous, which was emphatically NOT the way Benedict did things.

Even more significant: he still wears the papal pectoral cross and,I believe, the "Fisherman's Ring." In the past, on the Pope's death, the Cardinal Chamberlain used to deface and smash the Fisherman's Ring with a hammer as a symbolic representation of the end of the late Pope's authority.

Still wearing the ring ---it seems to me --- is like labeling yourself with an ever-present caption that says, "I'm still pope!"

I mean, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the Fisherman's Ring? And I'm fairly sure I've even seen pictures of Pope Francis and Pope Benedict both in their identical Bobbsey-twins white cassocks, and Francis kissing Benedict's ring. (What the Holy Sanctus is going on here?)

There's more. Benedict still lives at the Vatican and more-or-less in isolation with the ever-present Ganswein. If he considers himself retired, wouldn't he now be what he was before, a cardinal? -- albeit a retired one? Wouldn't he move out of the Vatican, say, to Castelgandalfo?

And more: Ganswein (I don't trust him, but he's Bendeict's personal assistant / aide / spokesman / handler (?)) gave a "clarifying" (actually equivocating) statement to the Vatican Press Office saying that Benedict had kinda-sorta only half-resigned. Like he was "sharing the petrine ministry" with Francis, and Francis would be the active Pope while Benedict would hang out as the "silent partner," with Benedict in continuous contemplative prayer while Francis was doing the governing.

That's not only non-canonical, it's actually against the nature of the petrine ministry. When Our Lord singled out Peter for his role --- when He gave Peter the significant threefold charge of feeding and caring for the flock as a whole, confirming the brethren, bearing the keys and so forth, it was Peter. Not even the other close companions were singled out in quite this way. It wasn't even the usual threesome of "Peter, James and John."

There are other things that I won't discuss just now, but if you want to get just a little deeper into the tinfoil-tiara stuff, check this out (scroll about halfway down) Torch of the Faith covers some stuff that sure looks like some kind of post-hypnotic suggestion or behavior-modification or whatever you want to call it.

Is Benedict being "run" by someone? Have they given him operant conditioning? Does't he look zombiefied? Geez, it's so easy, they could do it with Ambien. Here, Holy Father, this will help you sleep.

OK, I'm done for now. Call me paranoid: but remember, as Joseph Heller said in Catch22, 'Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.'

Pray for the true Holy Father, whoever that may be. I'm serious.

Pray, for Christ's sake, for the Church.

This is very consistent with Fatima.

Sr Lucia:

And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it’ a Bishop dressed in white; ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’.
