Pope who called God a loving Mother set to be beatified
Catholic Conclave ^ | 31/8/2022 | CG

Posted on 08/31/2022 2:52:40 PM PDT by Gillibrand1

Albino Luciani distanced himself early on from the triumphalist pomp of his church, which still calls herself holy. When he became Bishop of Vittorio Veneto in 1958, he added only one word to his coat of arms: Humilitas, humility. He stuck to this when Pope Paul VI appointed him Archbishop and Patriarch of Venice in 1969. And he, the son of an anti-clerical Italian socialist, even appointed him Cardinal in 1973. On 26 August 1978, Albino Luciani became Pope himself. "God forgive you for what you have done to me," he criticises the cardinals who elected him in the fourth ballot with 99 out of 111 votes.

If God is a “mother” then “her” marriage to the bride, the Church, would be a gay wedding, which would make God a sinner worthy of death under God’s own law.

If your strange beliefs lead to such intellectual paradoxes, then you can be sure they are faulty.

I think I see what he was driving at - not the first time this has been attempted, but it has been done with more grace.

St. Julian of Norwich said something similar -

"Just as God is our Father, so God is also our Mother.
And He showed me this truth in all things, but especially in those sweet words when He says: 'It is I'.
As if to say, I am the power and the Goodness of the Father, I am the Wisdom of the Mother, I am the Light and the Grace which is blessed love, I am the Trinity, I am the Unity, I am the supreme Goodness of all kind of things, I am the One who makes you love, I am the One who makes you desire, I am the never-ending fulfilment of all true desires...."

You said it better than I could.
It’s hard to explain. Some spiritual concepts go beyond our secular terminology.

There is Luke 13:34 (Douay Rheims Challoner) Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?

The Church is the Bride of Christ. Who is God, but who is also Man - one indivisible nature (denial of that is the old Arian heresy).

There is no paradox here, it just looks like one from your viewpoint.

Guy publicly let it be known he was going to reform the Vatican bank. Lots and lots of people with the means to do something about it were not happy with that mission. I’m not saying he was murdered but.... he was murdered.

A heretical conclusion. God reveals Himself as The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

There is no Mother God - except in paganism.

He wouldn’t be the first. By some informed accounts, as many as six popes have been assassinated in office.

That’s your belief in whatever religion you follow. Quit bashing the Catholic Church and just live your life. Nobody cares what you think is true or false.

No. It is exactly what Scripture records.

Your position of a mother god is found nowhere in Scripture. Ever.

—> Nobody cares what you think is true or false.

God cared. In 66 inspired books of Scripture, He never calls Himself a Mother God - nor does and Hebrew or Christian. Nor any Apostle.

Classic knee jerk reaction.

Since when is posting the truth “Catholic bashing”?

Aside from the fact God doesn't have
a human sexual biology...

Where do you think the wimmins come from ?


Gen5
When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.
2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created...

These religion with a female goddess ( albeit the adherents claim they do not worship her) are all derivatives of Semiramis and her son. The goddess worship thingy is very old. It resurfaces in stories like Fatima and the idolatry of Maryology.

Notyice how those in cults either press you to join them or assign you to 'heretic' status? Antichrist is a liar and murderer, murdering spirits by keeping them from just believing so hey are saved by Grace alone.

I believe it was just a year or so ago, Catholics were up in arms here about the pope allowing an goddess idol to be set up and prayed to in the Vatican…

And now a catholic is promoting a Mother god.
