ON THE PAPAL PLANE A quip by Pope Francis aboard the papal plane this morning raised a few eyebrows of those traveling with him and sent his press handlers scrambling.
After takeoff on his way to the Mozambique capital of Maputo, the Pope customarily greeted journalists on the papal plane. Among those he met was Nicolas Seneze, Rome correspondent for the French Catholic daily newspaper La Croix, which just published Senezes book, How America Wants to Change the Pope.
The book threads together different aspects of this pontificate in particular the McCarrick abuse scandal and the Archbishop Carlo Viganò testimony to conclude that influential figures in the U.S. Church are out to, if not replace Pope Francis, then to actively challenge him.
The book quotes professor Massimo Faggioli of Villanova as saying wealthy conservative Catholics have stepped into the vacuum of authority left by the sex abuse scandal to become the de facto leaders of the Catholic Church in the U.S.

I wish we had that Polish Pope back. The current Pope is an imposter.
Nope. They're led by Jesus Christ.
Really???
Jesus Christ says all the clergy in the church must be married with a family...
Jesus Christ says to get away from that religion that has cardinals going around wearing long, pink robes...
Jesus Christ says you must believe in Him before you get baptized...
Jesus Christ says you 'must' be born again...
Nah, you 're not led by the Jesus Christ of the Scriptures; the Jesus Christ of Creation...You're just fooling yourselves...
Your religion had to search the scriptures far and wide to come up with a conclusion like that...
Isa 22:20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
Isa 22:21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
In 'that day'??? What day is that??? Today??? Yesterday???
And he will be the head of the gov't, in Jerusalem??? To the Jews???
Isa 22:5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
Isa 22:6 And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
Isa 22:7 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
This scripture has nothing to do with the Catholic religion...You have to count on the biblical ignorance of Catholics to push this past them...
There is nothing in the Old Testament that points to a Catholic or Christian church during the church age...There is nothing that points to the church age...It was a mystery given to and revealed by the Apostle Paul... Nice try tho...
Nah, it you who are mistaken. Catholics follow Jesus Christ; protestants follow mere dead mortal men like Martin Luther or John Calvin or John Wesley.
So go ahead and sin, and sin boldly! See how far that will get you.
