They are together to organizing a Jihad against Catholics.
The cardinals that picked him are commies!
Benedict was usurped. It is pretty obvious. Travis McGee’s graphic, above, provides a great starting point to anybody interested in the crime.
I've read that such a thing would only be possible if the original papal election was somehow invalid. For example, if it could be shown that Francis was not in fact a Catholic at the time of his election, he would be ineligible to become Pope, and his election would be invalid.
It would be interesting to hear from some Freeper who really knows Church law.
I’m starting to wonder how “dhimmi” translates into Latin.
????!!!!!! What’s his problem?
That doctrine does NOT say the pope is infallible in everything he says and does.
I think you’ve been ready too many Jack Chick tracts, Laz. ;-)
Perhaps the pope can breed with him
Actually, this has nothing to do with infallibility, a little-used charism which has never been invoked by any pope in my lifetime.
Don’t you judge me.
If you look at the Scriptures referenced for this (Rev. 17:1-6) John says that the heads he saw "are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come." If five of these kings had fallen in John’s day and one of them was still in existence, then the Whore must have existed in John’s day. Yet Christian Rome and Vatican City did not.
However, pagan Rome did have a line of emperors, etc.etc. and without getting too windy, the passage altogether is directed at pagan Rome.
I don't blame you for bad information, Laz. You may well have gotten it from somebody who doesn't know jack chick about this particular Scripture.
Isn’t the head of ISIS the leader of the Sunnis as boss of the caliphate?
I hit it with chicks.
Jack Chick has a last name that indicates a young female.
Ergo, I hit it with Jack Chick.
“Pope Francis is making the doctrine of Papal infallibility tough to swallow.”
This detestable Pope is exactly why I am relieved that Catholicism believes in Papal Infallibility, which means that no matter how evil or stupid a particular Pope may be, God will prevent him from altering the key dogmas of the Church. Most of the time, the Pope — this Pope, any Pope — is not speaking infallibly, so anything he says me legitimately be challenged.
This pope is nuts! (Sorry, Catholics)
I’m Catholic, and I’m not offended. In fact, I’d agree with you, except that I fear Pope Francis is not “nuts”; I fear he’s evil.
I would expect nothing less from the Laz.
“...Catholic Church ... Whore of Babylon...Revelations”
It is actually Jerusalem that is being referred to in Revelations as the Whore of Babylon, not Rome a/k/a the Catholic Church. Proof? - Revelation 11:8 “the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, WHERE THEIR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED”. Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem.
There is plenty of precedent of Jerusalem being personified as a harlot in the OT when she disobeys God - Isaiah 1:21 - just for starters.
Also Jerusalem sits on seven hills and the Vatican does not - it is across the Tiber from Rome itself and does not sit on seven hills.
That being said - this Pope is almost certainly an anti Pope and it is a bit scary as he theoretically could be a signal of the end times, although I am not particularly a millennialist type.
He could just be a screwed up anti-Pope. The Church has dealt with such in the past. He has not pronounced anything ex cathedra yet (declared an infallible doctrine) and he had better not ...
There is something about this Pope that is not on the up-and-up. It can’t be just a matter of naïveté, ignorance, or blindness. At times, he sounds like a propaganda minister for some Islamic sect (or maybe Saudi-Arabian doctrine). What’s up with this Pope?
So I've heard, Laz, so I've heard.
