Pope Francis: ‘Europe Must be Federal’
The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 7/11/17 | Staff Reporter

Pope Francis reportedly said Europe 'will no longer count for anything in the world' if it does not federalize

Pope Francis has reportedly said that Europe “must become a federal community or it will no longer count for anything in the world”.

His comments were apparently made in an interview with Eugenio Scalfari, the 93-year-old La Repubblica journalist who does not record interviews or take notes.

Scalfari writes that he told Pope Francis that Europe must become a federal state if it is to deal with the ongoing migrant crisis, to which the Pope responded, “True, I have repeatedly raised this.”

I realize you put “real” and “true” in quotes, so assume you are in agreement that when the schism comes it will be those who refuse to bow to the anti-Pope’s heretical dictates who are the true Church. God’s Church exists wherever two or more faithful father in His name. The Vatican is on the verge of an effective repudiation of the Gospels and will soon no longer gather in His name. They will join the Anglicans, Methodists and Prysbyterians on the list of dying denominations. The true Catholic Church will be much smaller, poorer but infinitely more humble.

So, the first Third World Pope thinks Europe’s first priority s/b to organize itself to accommodate “migrants”?

If Pope Francis doesn't cool his jets, he'll wake up one morning to find St. John Lateran Archbasilica converted to a mosque......

What many do not see/refuse to see is that this already happened in the wake of Vatican II.

A true pope would say, “Europe must be Catholic”.

The socialists/communists lost the empire in Europe they had with the Soviets, and now seek to build a new Marxist European empire out of western Europe.
