Francis' god

The way in which this heretical nonsense of the “god of surprises” has been swallowed by the obedient Pollyannas is a very good indication of the decay of Christian thinking among people who tell themselves Catholics, and of the inability to even understand that this disgraceful Pope is indicating to them the perfect path to hell.
As so very much that Francis keeps saying, these words contain some emotional appeal meant to please the stupid; as if God’s Law were a vegetable, for which “freshness” is a quality attribute.
The contrary is the case.
Our God is a God of no surprises. Being perfect, he is unchangeable. Being unchangeable, He can never have anything new in Him.
This principle, of the unchangeable God, is what provides the basis for the unchangeable Truth of which God’s immutability is at the same time the reason and the guarantee. As God can never change, so can Truth never change. He, and it, will remain always the same, world without end.
Were it not so, God would not be God. Were it not so, there would be no God.
Truth is forever. God Himself assures us that this is so, and that there will no surprises. Produce has a selling window before it becomes stale. The Truth, the Way and the Life haven’t. And if an angel – much less a clown – should come down from heaven and tell us: “God has decided to surprise you!” we.would.not.believe.him.
Francis obfuscates and mystifies. His supermarket-jargon hides one and only one intent: the subversion of God’s law into something “surprising” and, by the very definition of the word, both unexpected and different.
This is another definition of heresy.
Let those who feel so inclined blindly follow the Pope in the pit of heresy and blasphemy he wants to lead them. A faithless Pope will only be followed by faithless people, or by people so stupid – and culpably so – that they are ready to ditch an unchangeable Truth for the produce section of Francis’ satanic supermarket.
We live in times that are so stupid that these cheap appeals to – nay: cheap papal ads of – novelty and freshness are applied to what is Immutable and Unchangeable by the very definition of the word.
And please, *please* do not even *try* to justify the Pope’s words with some fluffy commentary along the lines that Francis refers to an “ever new joy”, and such like nonsense. If you still have not understood what kind of “surprise” Francis has in store for you, the smell of reprobation is strong in you, and you should be very worried by now.
Francis’ “god of surprises” is a god of heresy and blasphemy. It can’t be the God of the Christians. It is some strange New Age fantasy creature.
Our God is a God of no surprises. Do not blaspheme Him by making of Him the same as Francis’ strange, fantasy creature.

When ya declare someone infallible, yer always asking for it!

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you
Matthew 24:4
Look up ex-cathedra.
“I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning.”
1 John 2:13
I am a Catholic, but I do not worship the Pope, even Pope Francis. I worship God, and he is not a God of surprises, he sent Jesus so we can know Him, and he gave us the Bible. It is clear who God is, and he isn’t going to jump out at us and yell “boo!” He isn’t going to change His mind about gay marriage. And I am through defending PopeFr concerning his frequent ill advised comments. The Pope needs to man up and teach the truth.
ex cathedra
newbie invented for the occasion;
This doctrine was defined dogmatically in the First Vatican Council of 1869–1870, but had been defended before that, existing already in medieval theology and being the majority opinion at the time of the Counter-Reformation.[3]
We’re having an anti-pope in the twenty-first century?
“All the evil in the world is due to lukewarm Catholics” ~ Pope Saint Pius V
And lapsed Catholics. For they know the truth but reject it.
So what about it? No recent pope has exercised that power of authority.
Made up word for a made up religion for a made up position for when he is wrong. None of the Apostles had to hide behind it.
I think some lapsed Catholics never "lost" their faith. They never had it. Not everyone immersed in a religion from birth embraces it as an adult.
See mundabor....you only encourage satan here....here!
Calm down and see what he actually does....nothing has been changed.
What’s your “religion”; and who founded your “religion”?
I changeable god. That changed his mind on a few occasions in the bible
Francis made a “not-so-sneaky” phone call to a woman adulteress and advised her to find another church to receive Holy Communion while she was still in a state of mortal sin.
Bergoglio rebuffed Tony Palmer’s request to convert to Catholicism for fear of harming “ecumaniasm”. Yet later, as Pope Francis, he ordered to Palmer to be buried as a “catholic” “ bishop”.
Nothing has changed?
I told you to stop pinging me to threads now at least three times. What part of that do YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
Calm down, see what he is trying to do, and resist his attacks on Truth.
