Some truth there.
"Christ’s authority was derived from His service and proximity to people and the fact “he was coherent,” the pope said in his morning Mass homily at Casa Santa Marta."
Christ's authority was derived from His Godhood.
For the record, I lived in the Rockford Diocese, but spent time with people from the Lacrosse, WI diocese from when Cardinal Burke was their bishop. He IS a man of the people, getting personally involved when necessary, with both Truth and a kind heart.
He also writes and speaks in a very coherent manner. Perhaps Pope Francis has someone else in mind.
Aren't "doctors of the law" preferable to torches and pitchforks?
Exactly.
“Christ’s authority was derived from His service and proximity to people and the fact “he was coherent,” the pope said in his morning Mass homily at Casa Santa Marta.”
That statement seems very close to a rejection of God to me.
It smacks of secularism.
Never mind what man says. Jesus says,”If you continue in My Word, then you are My disciples indeed. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”(John 8:31)
Sounds like Frankie the idiot pope is starting to lose it.
Agreed. Not to mention some historic heresies!
According to the "New Baltimore Catechism" that I grew up with, we are here :" to know, love, and serve God in this world, and in the next."
We are taught that there was a war between the angels in heaven, between the angels of Light, and the angels of Darkness, who chose to follow Satan.
The losing angels of Darkness became 'fallen angels', who then rule this mortal existence; so war is not unknown to the Heavenly hosts.
One of the basic eternal precepts of the Gospel is "Free Agency", that is, the ability to choose: choose between good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, sacred vs. sinful, etc.,etc..
Islam (translated as "Submission") is a geo-political plan of war and conquest, allows no choice, either convert or face physical death, and makes slaves of survivors.
Since there was war in the heavens, should we expect anything less in this mortal existence, against those who would have us violate that eternal precept, and take away free agency ?
Many of us have learned "to be in the world, but not a part of it", that is, to live a sacred life rather than to join in a hedonistic, barbaric lifestyle(ie.:" A Pillar of Salt").
If I am to be considered by the Pope as orthodox and an anachronism to modern Catholicism, then, so be it !
I can be concerned and love my fellow man, even if he be Islamic, but my free agency allows my conscience to not accept his sinful barbaric behavior,
and led by a false prophet who plagiarized sections of both the Old and New Testament in a failed attempt to obtain new converts.
My conscience and free agency allows me to go to war over compulsive conversion to barbaric behavior
since war is already known in the heavens and is already too well known on earth.
I don't need a religious Marxist, social justice warrior to define me as orthodox; I have core values that are unalterable and unchangeable despite my mortal existence.
Heh. Not a traditionalist alive that doesn’t consider themselves theological wizards and canon law mavens,
thank you for that ..
You just said in those two sentences that which took me more than a paragraph to say.
Obviously, the scriptures are more eloquent than I am.
Catch that? Authority comes not from above but from below.....it is the people who confer authority.
On the contrary, Jesus makes it plain that his power (authority) comes from on high:
And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth Matt 28: 18
The Godhead shone through him in his miracles, in his preaching and his teaching. As for "coherence", that's funny coming from Francis, the incoherent, ranting, potty-mouth pope.
Look who's talking.......
This reminds me of what St. Ignatius once said, the corruption of the best is the worst. Nothing so bad as a fallen Jesuit.
But the reference to turning things upside down is very troubling, as it typically belongs to the domain of the satanists, who invert the cross (peace symbol), who invert the symbol of man, who ascribe to the so-called “law of correspondences”, who worship the creature rather than the Creator.
I think this Pope's tenure might not be tenable if he continues on this path.
The thing that is refreshing is the confirmation that the last 50 years has been a total theological scam perpetrated by Fabian socialist Freemason Alinskyites inside the fold. Think of the Four Cardinals as a pack of Great Pyrenees going after the wolves.
It is and that is my problem with him too. Jesus is God and this Pope is leading many to hell with their “works will get them to heaven” message.
“And I am the pope, I do not need to give reasons for any of my decisions. I have decided that they have to leave and they have to leave.”

The fake Pope is destroying the Church and resents interference.
“Satan Must Reign in the Vatican. The Pope Will Be His Slave.”
"The bold proclamation in the headline of this article was personally witnessed by St. Maximilian Kolbe, who watched Freemasons celebrate their bicentennial in St. Peter’s Square in 1917. St. Maximilian Kolbe saw banners bearing these words amidst the revelry..."
