The Ideological Purge at the Vatican

[JudgemAll]

These people (Pope) answer no more to the Bible but to the KGB states hell bent on seeing people divided and cannibalizing themselves for sake of submitting them

[arthurus]

Obama as Pope?

[AlaskaErik]

I don't know which is more fun to watch...the self destruction of the Democratic Party or the self destruction of the catholic church. I find both to be equally loathsome.

That is why you have to hold fast to what you were taught when you first accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Read Revelation, particularly chapters 2 and 3, Jesus’ letters to the Churches. You want to be a victor.

Satan knows the Scriptures and he knows that his time is coming soon. He is getting his minions ready for the time that the “Restrainer” will be taken out of the way as the “victors” are snatched up to be with Jesus.

So let not your heart be troubled!! Read your Bible, pray and look up, for your redemption draws near.

Protestantism, as an extension of the so-called Enlightenment, is just a continuation of the vain and egotistical individualism that will ultimately result in a solipsistic culture of Me.

Oh, but you claim you believe in Jesus. But it is all about "you" and "your" particular belief in Jesus.

It is all about you.

When the scientists stick you into your virtual reality machine to keep you from causing any trouble you will then be able to worship Jesus exactly as "You" please.

Glory be to Jesus ... er I mean You!

Sooner, rather than later.

last December about the Pope’s bid to pack the College of Cardinals, Father Thomas Reese remarked approvingly that this was “the most revolutionary thing Francis has done in terms of church governance. He is doing everything possible to make sure that his legacy is continued by insuring his successor is someone who reflects his views.” Reese was honest enough to say that if Pope John Paul or Benedict had made the same sort of appointments: “Frankly, I would have been outraged.”

Hopefully I won’t offend anyone when I say that I knew we were in trouble when they announced that the new pope was a South American Jesuit.

This is sort of what I expected. Liberation Theology with totalitarian overtones.

Good advice! And yet faithful Catholics ought to see the larger picture which includes ongoing apostasy within the Evangelical church. Some watchmen believe that the imploding Evangelical church will eventually merge into the hyper-charismatic NAR (New Apostolic Reformation), which bears striking similarities to occult Eastern pantheism. Time will tell. But for both Catholic and Evangelical faithful, your advice holds: “So let not your heart be troubled!! Read your Bible, pray and look up, for your redemption draws near.”

You certainly won't offend me. I spent 4 years in a Jesuit school, and I thought the same thing. I remember sending a friend the following text: "I hope this isn't as disastrous as it looks."

[Pontiac]

High Schrool or College?

[irishjuggler]

High.

[Pontiac]

My high school Latin teacher was a Jesuit.

Nice enough but a alcoholic of the first order.

He kept a bottle in his desk drawer which we could occasionally catch him having a nip.

[PIF]

No. He can’t be Pope and Caliphate at the same time, you know. No, our new Pope will be George Soros, that worshipful, rich, NAZI supporter whose worms crawled into the Vatican some time back.

[Redleg Duke]

The Soros Pope strikes again!

[marshmallow]

If Cardinal Burke had not been the patron of the Knights of Malta I don't believe this internal matter would have generated anywhere near the heat and controversy and there would have been no intervention by the Pope. The Knights are a charitable organization and are not a player in any of the ongoing doctrinal wars in Rome, so I don't consider this to be apart of an "ideological purge". Rather, I see this as a manifestation of a Francis-vendetta against Burke.

Which reminds me......didn't Cardinal Burke say that a correction of the errors in Amoris laetitia would be served in the New Year, some time after the Epiphany? I'm wondering if the four cardinals have already privately "served" Francis" with his correction and the Knights of Malta takeover is Francis' direct response to this correction and to Burke in particular.

[arthurus]

I was suggesting that Francis is to the Church what Hussein has been to the USA.

See here: Pope Maker: The Soros Syndicate.

I was suggeting something more sinister.

[Savonarola]

You said it — Liberation Theology. It permeates Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’.
