Some American honcho should declare the Vatican is in deep heresy, and claim the helm. Like a captain at sea loses his marbles, relieve him of duty.

I would launch it with a Declaration of independence variant. Amazing how that document very closely mirrors what US Catholics must feel about the Vatican. Its very kin to the way the colonists felt about King George.

“If God had wanted someone perfect to run the Church,”

Idiotic. Do you actually believe God has appointed the South American Marxist homo-loving America-hater to run your church?

A *love* of God is often viewed as *hate* of evil by those embracing evil. It makes me wonder from which side of good and evil the Vatican speaks.

I am really hoping that Jesus will make allowances for the scoffers who mostly believe the Word, but have doubts about some details.

Thomas doubted, and was given a chance to touch His hands and side. Hopefully, the second chance won’t be to get your head cut off for holding fast to Jesus and not taking the Mark of the Beast. Hopefully, the “no one knows the day or the hour” crew won’t turn into the “where did they all go, and why are we still here?” crowd.

When Peter started to doubt as he walked to Jesus on the water, Jesus did reach out his hand and catch Peter before he sank completely.

My point is that the Daniel 12 - Matthew 24 - Revelation 12 connection of dates and signs is so strong that it is almost blasphemy to ignore it.

Well there is this FRper who cites from Revelation regarding spiritual events happening September. Looks like he did not pay attention to a certain passage from Mathews Gospel that only the Heavenly Father knows the day and hour.

It’s date setting for the Rapture of the Church.

I believe the last date setting fiasco was by Harold Camping, and how did that work out.

Jesus said that He did not know the date or the hour, only the Father in Heaven knew that. Either way, be ready, be right with God, for even today could be your day.

this cult, your priesthood.

Well, you have something in common with Francis, he doesn't much like priests either, he never has anything good to say about them.

But you still cling to them

We cling to Jesus our Savior and to the Church He left us.

Idiotic. No, a bunch of cardinals with an agenda voted for him.

Bergoglio is a priest himself, correct?

Your church is a corrupt shell filled with flimflam, artifice and deceit not to mention unrepentant homosexuals, much like all the other churches taken over by the left. Jesus didn’t leave you that. If you insist upon remaining in an orthodox “Catholic” church you’d be far better served spiritually by the EO, to be quite honest.

It's very interesting that you'd equate those two to your own priesthood, hierarchy and Pope. However, your worst actors as we've seen get elevated to the top. What happened to Swaggart and Baker, et al.? They were discredited and hounded out, not placed at the very pinnacle of presumed Christianity as the Vicar of Christ on Earth.

Thanks. I have noticed that the book is being constantly updated, thanks to Francis.

This is what the Catholics get when they have the doctrine of the pope’s infallibility. The Leftist will use it to undermine the Catholic Church by sneaking in a Leftist pope.
