Who is he to judge? I wonder what all the priests are going to be saying in the confessional?
“Forgive me, Father. For I have sinned.”
“Why are you telling me? Who am I to judge?”
I don’t know if he is the AntiChrist.
I do know he is a Marxist.
I don’t find either Francis or Macron possessed of ‘incredible charm and charisma’. They both seem pretty mediocre on the personal magnetism front.
The ImPopester isn’t the anti-Christ, but he is one of his little helpers.
I think it’s very likely.
No but he’ll be his best friend and advisor.
He’s the Obama of the catholic church, working very hard at fundamentally transforming it.
He is a devil.
if I were religious I would absolutely believe that the pope is evil and deliberately destroying the cathlolic church.
Since I am not, I believe he THINKS he is on the side of good, but he absolutely is not.
Why hasn’t the catholic church removed him?
What an idiotic statement. I plan to live that long empowered by great health habits and lots of vitamins.
That statement is correct. Many of us are disobedient children, even evil children but His nonetheless.
Probably Peter the Roman though.
I wish the anti Francis movement would get after this fraud for defending Islam seemingly because of its monotheistic claim. Where its version of deity commands followers comply with the theistic assertions and claims. Professed in their codex which Francis should be condemning,known as Sharia law .
Sharia portrays a duplicitous corrupt deity who denies free will. Urges the use of deceit and deception when which would otherwise violate God’s laws. Plus are given an order by that deity to murder those who refuse to accept that deity. Yet the best Francis can do is warn of man made climate disaster.
The antichrist is a political figure not a religious one. I believe Francis could easily be the false prophet however
When’s Bergoglio coming out of the closet?
a non confirmed quote attributed to John Calvin- one of the 1st Protestant Reformers
John Calvin (1509 - 1564)
“Though it be admitted that Rome was once the mother of all Churches, yet from the time when it began to be the seat of Antichrist it has ceased to be what it was before. Some persons think us too severe and censorious when we call the Roman Pontiff Antichrist. But those who are of this opinion do not consider that they bring the same charge of presumption against Paul himself, after whom we speak and whose language we adopt .. I shall briefly show that (Paul’s words in II Thess. 2) are not capable of any other interpretation than that which applies them to the Papacy.” (Institutes of the Christian Religion, Vol.3, p.149)
They were calling the papacy and the pope antichrist back then.
And the pope didn’t even come out with a calendar yet.
I would suspect if that is an accurate quote, John Calvin would have called the pope gregory calendar (gregorian), antichrist calendar. If only on principle of his original premise.
It appears that he wasn’t alive when the pope had his own calendar so we can’t gain his opinion. Only speculate.
What does the Book that Rome assembled so long ago have to say on the subject?
So; does Francis fit any of these verses?
