Oh, good Lord, don’t wish him on us! He’s a Christian like Obama is a Christian.
I am hopel “mal occhio” is spelled correctly. Growing up in NYC I heard it often enough
While the Holy Spirit often inspires, it is the Cardinals of te Consistory, mere humans, who do the voting. As they are secured withing the consistory with no outward interference we have no sense of what occurs there-in. FRANCIS is a Jesuit, the only one ever elected to the Papacy. The Jesuits are the CIA of the Vatican, the go-to guys in skullduggery, intrigue and mayhem. His Papacy belies this; what with tumult, chaos, disorder and betrayal reigning supreme.
What I am saying is that he is a clear and present danger to the Church. Peter of Rome. Check that reference in the Prophecy of St. Malachy. Perhaps then one will understand.
Hmmmm...
When I am talking; no one can tell if I misspell a word or not.
Jesuits are dangerous?
Who knew!
Two men considering a religious vocation were having a conversation. "What is similar about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders? " the one asked.
The second replied, "Well, they were both founded by Spaniards -- St. Dominic for the Dominicans, and St. Ignatius of Loyola for the Jesuits. They were also both founded to combat heresy -- the Dominicans to fight the Albigensians, and the Jesuits to fight the Protestants."
"What is different about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders?"
"Met any Albigensians lately?"
I've checked out that "...call no man father..." thing; and thought I DID understand!
Yet look at the percentages of total Christians vs non-Christians. Certainly there are many protestants who have stayed true to their human tradition, but they are but a splinter compared to the raft of souls who have taken the Protestant revolution to its logical conclusions the last 500 years. Many souls have been separated from Jesus Christ by the original disobedience of Luther. “ Woe to him though whom the scandal cometh “.
History teaches it.
If the Pope had his way it would be on the agenda, but there may be a fork in his tenure before long.
Well there you have it, MLK is already a Saint in stained glass!
That's a false premise...there is zero proof protestantism leads to communism, frankly protestantism leads people away from communism when exposed to God's word and the work of the Holy Spirit.
Many souls have been separated from Jesus Christ by the original disobedience of Luther. “
Another false premise, so your point is if you are not an adherent of the RCC you are separated from Jesus ?
God's Word takes a secondary position to Catholic teachings and tradition ?
I have to say, your thinking is almost cult like, I'm not saying the RCC is a cult, but your position rings of a tenet of cult like thinking...
God’s Word. Let us reflect on that. When Jesus Christ says that “ you must eat My flesh and drink My.blood,” who is it that takes Him at His Word? Who clings to His Word in this regard? If being faithful to Christ’s divine institution of the Holy Eucharist is cultish or offensive to your rationalist perspective, that is your problem not mine. I believe He is present in the Eucharist, not because I have seen Him, not because I have felt Him, not because I have tasted Him, nor because I have smelled Him, in hearing only have my senses been not deceived. Read for yourself the lyrics of the great hymn “Pange Lingua” of Thomas Aquinas to understand what Jesus Christ meant by His actions at The Last Supprr, His words in defense of His true presence in John 6, and his prophetic rebuke of doubting Thomas. It is all so beautiful.
Matt: 5: 29....If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
The key word in your reference is “if”. We all know that the human eye is only a sensor, that it is not capable of evil. So Jesus is asking us to think about how horrible sin is, if your eye is not the culprit, then what must be plucked out?
