Leo XIV on the Multiplication of the Loaves: Christ’s Real Miracle Was the Lesson of Sharing!
Posted on 08/02/2025 1:38:55 PM PDT by ebb tide
Pope Leo XIV spoke at yesterday’s general audience about the man in Mark 7 who cannot speak or hear: "Just as it can sometimes happen to us, perhaps this man chose not to speak anymore because he did not feel understood; he chose to shut off every voice because he had been disappointed and wounded by what he had heard," Leo XIV said.
He sounded literally like Francis: "Before anything else, Jesus offers him silent closeness, through gestures that speak of a profound encounter: He touches this man’s ears and tongue."
Jesus "invited" the man who had stopped listening and speaking: "It is as if Jesus were saying to him: 'Be opened to this world that frightens you! Be opened to the relationships that have disappointed you! Be opened to the life you have given up facing!'."
After the encounter with Jesus, that person not only begins to speak again and does so plainly.
What's next, the blind man who was merely faking blindness? Or was Lazarus just playing dead for four days in a grave?

Birds of a feather.
Francis and Leo are projecting, just like their Democrat comrades, as they’re the ones who “have ears but choose not to hear”.
Name this Pope’s name, ebby. His name is Pope Leo XIV. Use your tongue...and your fingers. Pope Leo XIV deserves your respect.
I don’t answer to fake catholic posters. They don’t have my respect; never did.
There are none so blind as those who choose not to (will not) see the truth.
There are none so deaf as those who choose not to (will not) listen to the truth.
There are none so craven as those who know the truth but choose not to (will not) speak it.
Leo simply is a slimmed down and better dressed version of Francis. What did Catholics expect since Francis had stacked the College of Cardinals with his henchmen. The vote was a done deal before the first ballots were cast. They waited until the 4th ballot just to make it look more legit.
“What’s next, the blind man who was merely faking blindness?”
John 9.
The Pharisees insisted: We are not blind.
Whereas the man blind since birth admitted: Never, until Jesus, had I ever seen anything.
“What’s next... was Lazarus just playing dead for four days in a grave?”
The Pharisees might have wished to have the people believe that. As you know, though, given the circumstances, they never made or tried to insinuate the claim.
The Pharisees knew, intellectually, it really happened, Moreover, they knew it was something only God could do.
Putting two and two together and getting four?
It wasn’t happening.
Sin makes one blind, and stupid.
“Leo simply is a slimmed down and better dressed version of Francis. “
I don’t think that’s fair. After the daily disaster that was Bergoglio (God have mercy on him), I’m breathing something of a sigh of relief and willing to give the new guy a chance. The fact that certain Cardinals that I respect, such as Burke, have a positive attitude toward the man is a sign of hope.
What I always ask of people who claim to be Christians but don’t believe in Jesus’s is Miracles is: do you believe Jesus is the Son of God. And if they say yes then I say why not believe all of his reported Miracles. If he is the Son of God and the Creator the universe all of his earthly miracles are merely Child’s Play.
Typically they respond with ummmm, uhhhhh, go away hater!
We most certainly are living in the time of the prophesied great apostasy!
Just wait until Prevost “canonizes” Bergoglio. It’s coming.
Mark 7 (DRB):
31 And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
33 And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:
34 And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.
37 And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
Next he’ll tell us that the multiplication of the loaves and fishes was “the miracle of sharing.” Enough of this modernist garbage.

Holy mackerel! It looks like Prevost should have taken the name Francis II.
The office of the Papacy deserves respect. But many unworthy men have occupied that office over the centuries. It could be the case now. It certainly was in the very recent past.
