Pope Francis. Head of the Catholic Church. I honour the authority he wields. Or, at least, claims to yield. Should I see him, one of the first things I’d do is attempt to kiss the Ring of the Fisherman. This man’s hands are blessed, and he has the power to consecrate bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. He has the power to bless people and to drive out demons. His is the Vicar’s Seat, which is at the head of all priestly men, and his position is that of one who leads all of the faithful, here in the Land of the Living, Church Militant. And should I manage to be able to kiss the Holy Pontiff’s ring, I would be granted an indulgence of 300 days. He is the leader of the Christian world, the head of a monarchy. His position and the authority he carries commands respect.
Yet, life is not so simple. Should I even try to kiss the Ring of the Fisherman, he would draw it away. He doesn’t bless people when he sees them. He doesn’t lead Christ’s followers in any Christian kind of a way. In fact he tells us not to even try spreading Christianity. He further states that God consciously wills it that there’s a plurality of religions, and he governs as though we are not even the de facto true Church. While Judaism and Islam carry on as religio-political movements, the Roman Catholic Church is run like a toothless, philosophical hobby club. And though this Pope is widely regarded as the man who holds the authority of pope, growing numbers of people — even prelates high up in the Church hierarchy — question the legitimacy of his election and the former pontiff’s resignation.
But worse than that, we have a homosexual/paedophile-enabling pope. We have a pope who threw all of the Chinese Catholics to the wolves, so that they are devoured by the anti-Christian Chinese government. We have a pope who is championed by outspoken homo-friendly celebrity priests, and these men are so loyal to this destroyer that they gleefully boast how they’d rather spit on devoted Catholic families than question this man. The true Catholic life repulses Pope Francis and all of his devoted enablers and spokesmen. He refuses to make any corrections to his heretical statements, and he allows the Church to decay and roil in confusion. While his authority and his office are noble, the man is evil.
Pope Francis is a part of a continuity that began, not just at Vatican II, but with Martin Luther himself. In fact, Protestants should be gleeful and happy with Pope Francis’ direction, as his administration over a burning, smoking disaster is fulfilling the spirit of the age that Martin Luther ignited. To be sure, leftist Catholics who have no love for real Catholicism adore this pope, and they wait with bated breath for the acceptance of homosexuality, divorce, and married priests, just to name a few items on their wish list.
Yes, this man is not a good pope. He is a bad pope. He is like a new stepfather who neglects and abuses his new children, seeking accolades and friendship from the neighbourhood kids. By his own definition, he is sh**. He said so last August in Ireland. In fact, he tells gay people they were born that way. He runs into the welcoming arms of sexual deviants, Freemasons, Muslims, Jews, Protestants, and communist atheists. The only people who go to Hell in his book are the traditional Catholics who suffer under his abusive pontificate.
Books will be written about the evil allowed to run rampant under this man. But what amazes me is that he still carries the authority of the priesthood. No matter what, he still has the power to transubstantiate bread and wine into the Holy Presence. And if it is unfortunately true that this wicked man is our legitimate pope, then his authority is still clear and present. How and why is this so? Because nothing — no sin man can do — has the power to remove God’s mark. There is nothing a mortal man can do to erase and scrub away the Spirit of God. Good or evil, Pope Francis was entrusted with the authority of the Holy Spirit to one degree or another. And he will carry that authority wherever he goes in the next life. If he goes to Heaven, he will be a pope in Heaven. If he goes to Hell, he will still be a pope in Hell. No evil and no bad decision made by this man will be able to shake off God’s power.
Like it or not, this pope has the car keys. And when you realise that, it becomes clear that this man — and his followers and defenders — have taken the Holy Spirit hostage. When you hear people such as former Soviet KGB propagandist Yuri Bezmenov [See CO. Nov. 2013, "Consecrating Russia to Exorcise the West: 2] or former communist activist Bella Dodd talk about how the Soviet Union sought to flood the Catholic Church with corrupted priests — when you hear this, realise that the authority of God is being held ransom. With Luciferian energy, these wicked men who are repulsed by goodness have slowly but surely been transforming the Catholic Church, inverting it the way demons do, in the hopes of destroying it forever.
A lot of Catholics have been living with this reality since the Second Vatican Council. Many more Catholics have been enlightened about this horrific situation in recent years. And now, thanks to this pope, the entire world is coming to realise that something is very very wrong, and that some sort of evil has set up shop within the Catholic Church. This pope is an unwitting canary in the coal mine for the world. His six years “of hypocrisy and lies” sort of gives away the game, and lets the world know what has been going on this whole time.
What comes next? Who knows? Some folks once speculated that this was supposed to be the last pope. Time will tell. Most voices I hear on this issue state that only Divine Intervention will be able to fix the Catholic Church at this point. But whatever happens, we can rest without a doubt at this point: this has been a poisonous pope. That is now indisputable. There is no question. There is no rationalisation for this any longer. There is no longer an “out.” This pope spreads only desolation.

Just think, in the same century both the United States and the Catholic church have fallen to the communist onslaught...
"This man is not a good pope."
This man is just a man and not a very good man at that.
Strange, I’ve read the Bible and it makes no mention of the Pope or the Pontificate anywhere. When Francis Bergoglio ends up in hell he will just be another fallen Catholic priest.
He always seems angry and unhappy. Doesn’t seen right for a man who has a vision of the Heaven that should be waiting for him in just a few years.
In liberation theology, religion comes after politics. We see that clearly in this Pope.
“He always seems angry and unhappy. Doesn’t seen right for a man who has a vision of the Heaven that should be waiting for him in just a few years.”
At best, ol’ Frank is a miserable fit for the job. At worst, he’s not just “a” false prophet, but “THE” False Prophet.
Weird that so many people that I’m acquainted with — from strong believers to agnostics — have told me they sense an ending approaching. Not the end of a phase, or a fad, or a temporary derangement — more like an end of everything. No new beginning, just everything shuts off like flicking a light switch.
Totally unscriptural assertion on so many levels.
Roman Catholicism is so off base in its “traditions”.
It is most noticeable he is the antithesis of a good pope.
Where are all the priests, bishops, & cardinals standing up for the Bride of Christ, his church.
The hierarchy system, and power within the church are destroying it.
WHERE ARE THE BRAVE VOICES !!!!!!
This socialist/communist pope wants to destroy the faithful.
The heretic needs disposed!!!
“Sola scriptura” is not scriptual.
You may have forgotten to mark this Catholic caucus.
Not possible. It mentions Judaism, Islam and the apostate, Martin Luther.
The pocket was in reference to the mandatory face mask, not the Sacred Host.
I see.
Thanks for the correction, I do appreciate it.
Sure it is. It’s as scriptural as the Trinity.
