[Barf Alert] Meeting. "The devil exists only as a symbolic reality"
google translate ^ | August 21, 2019 | Rodolfo Casade

Interview with the "black pope" Father Arturo Sosa Abascal, superior general of the Jesuits: "The XXI century will be that of the lay vocation for the witness of the Gospel. No one has the right to reject migrants "

...

Cultural variety is a richness that must be preserved as an essential dimension of human life. The great challenge is intercultural dialogue: cultures, if they are alive, change to adapt to new circumstances by meeting other cultures. In dialogue with other cultures they give rise to changes that characterize the current world and bring about interculturality. But we must understand and experience the plurality of cultures as the riches of humanity.

...

Symbols are part of reality, and the devil exists as a symbolic reality, not as a personal reality.

So when Jesus states, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Christ was using metaphors? I am quite sure when God said, I am, he meant every word He said as literal, not metaphorical. Especially The Word.

Cultural interactivity is just intercultural dialogue to keep culture in fine activity in order to facilitate even more dialogue about culture. Because dialogue is important to change and change is important to keep change going at the highest rate possible so that we reap the benefits of the highest rates of change and hope that doesn’t change to a lower rate of change though theoretically that may also have some benefits because it is still change. The Devil is a symbol of a symbol and is not real because the symbol of a symbol doesn’t really stand for anything real unless behind the symbol there is really a Devil but then the symbol of the symbol is not based on an infinite regress and the Devil is really there in a red dress smoking a cigar in which case the symbol symbolizes something real which is too scary for words... even our words on the interculturality of a plural evil symbolizing a symbolic evil. The Devil is a red dress is against all Jesuit doctrine... in fact, the doctrine is really suppose to be a fun house where we dress up and pretend we are really important and meditate on Lolita our founder.

Hi.

Satan rules the earth, and his greatest deception is making people believe he doesn’t exist.

“the devil exists as a symbolic reality”

Doesn’t that make him more formidable?

Even satan believes in God/Christ and knows He exists in Heaven...

:...credited the Jesuits for teaching him to question orthodoxy.”

By creating their own orthodoxy?

This sounds exactly like the travel blog the two Americans created for their around the world bike trip.
“You watch the news and you read the papers and you’re led to believe that the world is a big, scary place. People, the narrative goes, are not to be trusted. People are bad. People are evil. People are axe murderers and monsters and worse.

I don’t buy it. Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own—it’s easier to dismiss an opinion as abhorrent than strive to understand it. Badness exists, sure, but even that’s quite rare. By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind. No greater revelation has come from our journey than this.”
This was posted from Morocco a short time before they were run down and had their heads chopped off by ISIS in Tajikistan. Nice to see the leader of the Jesuits is on the same wavelength as they were.

God may not be a Republican but

Satan is certainly a Democrat.

“the devil exists as a symbolic reality, not as a personal reality.”

Denial of his existence is how he influences without being identified.

I’ve met satan once, and that was enough. I did not fear him as God’s Love was in me, but he meant to kill me as my work was disrupting his plans.

I’ve met his demons several times, but I choose Jesus, God Our Father, and His Light to fill me. Real strength only comes through our weakness.

The quote above, attributed to Pope Francis, is a lie.

Very true. He always tries to use his minions to do his work.

It seems Lucifer’s minions now run the Catholic church.

I know it is a fake quote. I found it on another forum a while back, that even though it was obviously false and heretical, elicited mixed responses that were shocking. Far too many people took it at face value, assuming it was real.

Some were horrified, a few were actually supportive. And some were not surprised based on the other things Francis has said and done. As such, it is a barometer of Catholic thought about him, and he is found wanting.

Lies are not a barometer of catholic thought.

But it’s funny that the lie is coming from a protestant.

Just one more POS heretical Society of Jesus blithering idiot. Society of Jesus, what a sad joke for a name. They are anything but followers and lovers of Jesus. This order needs to be suppressed for a second time by a Pope but it will never happen under Bergoglio the Jesuit.
