Enough is enough, Pope Francis should resign
Fox News ^ | June 17, 2016 | Adam Shaw

Pope Francis should resign, and Catholics should demand it, so the Church can begin recovering from the havoc his ill-advised and arrogant papacy has wrought.

Didn’t the same Cardinals elect him? Couldn’t he be exactly the Pope they wanted?

Quite possibly.

It surprised me personally when I heard that he was the new Pope because so many Cardinals were elevated by conservative Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

That they would elect a Jesuit was a surprise and a concern. South American Jesuits had been associated with communist for decades.

But it was John-Paul II that elevated him to Cardinal. How can you know the thoughts of Cardinals when they are debating a new Pope?

It should not only be Francis but a large segment of the Magisterium. He along with that group are the reason that I’m no longer a practicing Catholic nor a member of the Knights of Columbus nor do I donate to Catholic charities. At some point, it’s the responsibility of the laity to show their extreme discontent when the leadership is tampering with dogma.

Unfortunately, a large segment of the Magisterium are heretics too. The RCC is in real trouble; I don’t see any real solution other than a rebellion of Orthodox Cardinals from the Magisterium.

This is what comes of putting idiotic SJWs in leadership positions. There is a clue folks, they are ANTI social, what they demand is NOT justice. They will cause a war, though.

Orthodox Cardinals? Who would they be? The same ones who think Vatican II was the best thing since sliced bread? The same ones who think praying with false religions and false ecumenism as a whole is actually Catholic? The same ones who think religious liberty is a "human right" when it was condemned prior to Vatican II?

There isn't one Cardinal who doesn't believe these things. Now, I still believe that God can work miracles and perhaps wake one or a few of them up and make them courageous CATHOLIC clergymen. But it will take nothing short of a miracle.

God’s will be done. Not Pope Francis’, not mine.

Prayers up for Jesus’ bride, the Church.

“When he was elected, there were cries of disbelief and horror out of Argentina, from people who had worked closely with him for years.”

Well how and why did it happen? I’ve never understood how we went from Benedict to this loon. They were elected by the same group of people. Cardinals, presumably intelligent, educated men.

He’s a Jesuit. If you know Jesuits, it makes sense.

The NWO went to a lot of trouble to get their fake Pope installed.......

You nailed it, only he's just a continuing though highly offensive number in the series of puppets since 1958.

Same principle as 0bama and the 20th/21st century anti-Americans in the presidency.

How does it happen that two men bent on destroying two of the most revered and powerful entities that they lead, the US and the Catholic Church happen to appear at the scene at the same time?

Because it was planned that way - by Hell and by its earthly puppet-masters behind the curtains.

But these two are just the worst examples of a contionuing line of puppets in the religious (since 1958) and secular realms.

Exactly.

The infiltration started slowly a couple hundred years ago, picked up speed in the early 20th century, the coup happened in 1958, now everyone in the apostate hierarchy speaks from the same script - with only slight variations.

As long as they embrace the heretical Vatican-2, they are not Catholic at all.

Agreed.

He ought to be removed.

Technically he can only be removed by himself or God. I have read a bit on this lately and it would be difficult to explain but a heretic Pope would separate himself from the Church by his heresy and the College of Cardinals recognizing that he had left the Church would judge that he had removed himself and announce to the world that the Pope had abdicated the Throne of Peter and set about electing a new Pope.

Very good summary.

Some specific citations in this linked comment and the ones following it.

Is a Catholic still a Catholic if he advocate for Islam?

If a Catholic advocates for any faith other than the Catholic Faith, then he has left the Faith by his own act and is not a Catholic.

Which summarizes Bergoglio the non-pope.

The good news is that since he is not a Catholic by his sin against the Faith, then he is not the pope as well.

This linked coment and the ones that follow have the specific Catholic teaching on this matter.

The problem there is that neither the 'cardinals'[sic] were Catholic nor Wojtyla and Ratzinger.

Ratzinger's writings were placed on the Index of Prohibited Books of the Holy Office in the 1950's as "Suspect of heresy".

In subsequent writings he has done everything possible to attack the bodily resurrection of Our Lord and he has outright denied the existence of the soul or body of the just in the world to come. According to his heresy they will only "be remembered in a special way in the mind of God".

As for Wojtyla besides stating that we don't know if anyone is really in Hell, and fully embracing and promulgating the heresies of Vatican-2, he managed to engage in false worship with almost every false sect on the planet.

For example, feeding 'sacred orange peels'[sic] to the demonic voodoo 'snake gods'[sic] of west Africa.

Also, Wojtyla novus ordo 'mass', Papua New Guinea, May 8, 1984. The lector was a school teacher in the U.S> and she flew back to 'let it all hang out'.
