WE HAVE A POPE!!!
Nice. Thanks for the post.
If Malachy is right this is either the last pope or the next to last pope. But all the other signs of the end time are falling into place, so I think we are definitely here.
Where do the following prophecies come from?
I agree that the tribulation or at least the end of the tribulation will occur during "Peter the Great's" leadership which is from Malachy's prophecy.
But I only see the Tribulation lasting 7 years. I do see China and Russia in a war centered in the Middle East. Russia will apparently have entered into the Middle East when an evil thought will enter their commander's head and he will decide to invade Israel for spoils.
The war will indeed destroy at least 2/3's of the world's population if not much more. That's from Revelations. Jesus will return and end the war and establish an earthy rule for 1000 years. Then man will again turn against God and there will be a final war followed by the final judgement. (Again revelations, and Exekiel).
The cardinals chose an orthodox Catholic as pope. The nerve!
That is the definition of a "jerk" and an "idiot." If you don't like, tough.
Bttt!
I was torn between Arinze & Ratzinger, leaning slightly towards Arinze, but I'm still thrilled with Ratzinger.
While I was really pulling for ya, Laz, Ratzinger may not be that bad a choice. His military background would come in quite handy if he decides to crank up the Crusades.
Yes, well wishes for Pope Benedict XVI.
anything and everything not leftist is deemed "controversial" by the MSM.
By leftist standards the constitution is a controversial document to be bypassed by the myth of international law.
Add in the fact that Bolton will be confirmed as UN Ambassador today, and life is pretty darn good. :-)
The name Benedict has nothing to do with olives. Well, you do put one on an eggs benedict, so...
Actually, I'm a historian, so a lot of this is familiar. Many did manage not to be enrolled in the Youth.
I just think there is great hypocrisy in not even allowing a discussion of this matter. Anyone with any concerns are shut down. Not an open exchange of opinion.
We are glad to be a sideshow. The spiritual power of the church should never be used for political gain and temporal abuse.
Thank you for your prayers and kind words.
I think most of us Catholics here wanted Ratzinger.
Thiis is a glorious day... the liberals and their media can't ruin it, no matter what they spew...lol.
Hear the bells?
I love our bells.
My God, what kind of people are there DU's.
The Catholic Church has stuck to there guns.
I congratulate them!!
Another Protestant Blessing of Benedict XVI!
I am happy for my Catholic friends..It is a joyful day,indeed!
On Fox, one of the American Priests made a comment about those who had besmirched Ratzinger. I didnt know what they were taking about. I didnt know about the Youth. Doesnt mean anything to me.
