I sent that post to the Admin to see if the thread could be removed. The author is spreading totally wrong information and causing Christians to make wrong conclusions. Every Catholic Church overseas and in this country read the same scripture today, including no one knows the day and hour scripture.
Thanks for your post.
“I sent that post to the Admin to see if the thread could be removed. The author is spreading totally wrong information and causing Christians to make wrong conclusions.”
And, another reason why this thread could be pulled is that so many posters here, myself included, initially have come to so many incorrect positions and it has created such consternation among the posters on this thread based on false premises that have been fed from the title and the author. I feel violated.... lol.. Pull the thread!
Whether he said it in a planned Mass or whatever, he’s (knowingly or not) pointing out the fact that the Islamic Muslims are waging holy war (jihad) against Judeo-Christianity. And that needs to be brought to the forefront, IMHO, and is why I moved it from Religion to breaking news. It’s not a slur on the Pope. God bless him. See my posts on the thread.
Islam is the enemy.
In his Angelus message Sunday, the Pope invited the ten thousand pilgrims gathered in Saint Peter's Square to think about their death, the day they will meet God and give an accounting for their life.
The Pope also explicitly addressed the Paris carnage, expressing his "deep sorrow for the terrorist attacks that bloodied France late on Friday, causing many casualties." Along with offering his condolences to the victims and their families, Francis condemned the massacre as an "unspeakable affront to human dignity."
"Such barbarity leaves us shocked and we wonder how the human heart can conceive and carry out such horrible events, which have shaken not only France but the whole world," he said.
Francis unequivocally recognized the Islamist ideology behind the attacks, denouncing the use of God's name to justify the brutal attacks as "blasphemy."
Commenting on Sunday's Scripture readings, the Pope said that Jesus' preaching about the end of the world contains "apocalyptic elements, like war, famine, and cosmic catastrophes."
"In those days," Francis repeated, "the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken."
These signs are not the most important things, however, the Pope insisted. "Our final goal is the meeting with the resurrected Lord." The most important thing is not knowing when the end will come, but being ready for it when it does, he said.
"We are called to live the present," Francis said, but always ready to meet God whenever he may call.
Emphasis mine.
The bolded parts above were not part of his pre-planned Mass.
Take heed: Islam is the enemy.
"Breaking News" on this board is just odd as to what stays in the sidebar. Perhaps someone has already found out how many years this Scripture has been read on this Sunday.
Oh well. It's a little amusing to see ignorance, spiced with arrogance, proudly displayed
