A fine family built itself up over generations, but as all things go into decline before renewal, a late master of the castle came to hate his legacy. So he decided to destroy the mansion by undermining the foundation, in secret, so the lesser members of the family couldn't clearly tell what he was doing.
But as he worked at night and in darkness trying to destroy the castle from the inside and from the bottom, to bring about grand, climactic destruction: he failed to realize that the founder of his line had indeed taken him exactly into account, and foreknew exactly what he would do.
So at the moment his hatred reached its pitch and he was ready to destroy the whole house in a great fit of fire and explosion: he only destroyed himself, as the foundation deeper than he could imagine firmly held up, but the immediate walls around him, of the edifice he at once tried to build up and tear down, only collapsed on him, with no lasting damage to the castle.
The anti-Pope Francis, who may be at once a true and a false pope, seems to be on the verge of destroying 2,000 years of the legacy of the Christ before whom he refuses to bow.
But "the gates of hell will not prevail against it." Because this age is one of a multitude of great saints in secret. Dozens of Christians are martyred every day across this world, while Francis is making alliances with Muslims.
Those saints can pray for Francis, not for his shallow dignity, but so that Jesus' extreme greatness can be clearly shown forth to all people as they stand in judgment by him on the last day that lasts as long as the history of the world, replaying in excruciating detail every moment of its sad story, the Last Judgment.
God himself submits to the judgment, so that the absolute, true justice of his rightness can be clearly known even by the demons of deepest hell.
Psalm 51 verse 4 "…that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when THOU art judged". (…ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris. "Miserere" by Gregorio Allegri, Tallis Scholars, queued at 2 minutes, 35 seconds https://youtu.be/eBxL5Mi0mH0?t=155
As Francis stands in front of the White Throne of Judgment, the blood of the saints can cry out asking for mercy for Francis, so that Jesus saves him from hell.
If only Francis will accept that salvation at the last possible moment.
The last shepherd died, and the quislings of the Wolf managed to get their candidate appointed to the office of shepherd. They chose a man who could be counted upon to speak freely even when he had nothing to say. The new, Foolish Shepherd would sit in the gateways, the marketplaces and the inns, spouting off anything that came into his head.
The spies of the Wolf would provoke the Foolish Shepherd to speak whatever came into his mind. He would often say the most nonsensical things, to his mind exercising his office of Shepherd over the sheep. His voice droned on so continually that the sheep became confused. When they were in danger, the Foolish Shepherd would be speaking his random thoughts better left unsaid, rather than warning them about the danger and guiding them to safety.
In this way, many of the sheep wandered close to the cliffside. Without the accustomed voice of the Shepherd to warn them against danger, more and more of them were falling over the side, just where the Wolf wanted them so he could easily swallow them down without any risk to himself.
The world is waiting for Catholics to clean house.
What are Catholics are waiting for? Is Leviticus 18:22 not clear enough?
The world is waiting for the US to clean house, too. That ain’t happening either.
My sheep know my voice. They run from the strangers voice.
I continue to be stunned at the obstinate refusal of Catholics to take a strong stand against a homosexual-dominated Church.
This reflexive deflection that you demonstrated here is sadly typical of the refusal to face the reality that the Church’s reputation as a pederasty factory is so bad now that it disgraces every person who claims Catholicism.
I’m sorry. My mistake. I promised I would stay out of Catholic threads and here I’ve broken that promise twice this morning.
I’m waiting for the Lutherans and Presbyterians and the Methodist to clean house as well.....and all the rest...
I am not disgraced to be Catholic.....I am disgraced by the human race....
I would give up on the Lutherans and Methodists. Fortunately they have largely become insignificant cults.
Crap! Look what you have gone and made me do. Now it’s THREE time...FOUR times.
I would find it unbearably shameful to be associated with an organization whose primary organizing principle is to facilitate homosexuals raping young boys.
No, in both cases, that's what happens when those organizations aren't faithful to their primary organizing principles.
> That’s as logical as saying that the United States’ “primary organizing principle” is enslaving black people
Not at all. The Church’s alleged primary organizing principles are in the Bible. Yet it is wholly incontrovertible that the organization has made Biblical principles secondary to the protection and advancement of pederasty. It’s really breathtaking to see senior Vatican officials push back against measures to stop the rapes... and win.
POPE FRANCIS ISSUES THE ORDER CREATING GLOBAL CHRISLAM COMMITTEE TO IMPLEMENT HIS DECREE ON ‘HUMAN FRATERNITY FOR WORLD PEACE’ SIGNED IN UAE BACK IN FEBRUARY http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/travels/2019/outside/documents/papa-francesco_20190204_documento-fratellanza-umana.html https://www.vaticannews.va/en/world/news/2019-08/committee-created-to-promote-human-fraternity-document.html
“...who may be at once a true and a false pope.”
Schrödinger’s Pope.
The Churchmen may think they can waltz into heaven. But they are being lost for eternity.
Who can preach to those who’ve chosen damnation?
Honorius I, first excommunicated heretical Pope. Died 638 A.D.
Frankie, far more decadent. Presumably, his excommunication will also be posthumous.
Man can not repair the Church by fiddling with management.
It will happen, Lord willing.
What about believing first then REPENT?
