Will he be meeting with any of the Coptic Christians?

He may be the first Pope to burn in Hell.

A sane Vatican would take steps to make sure this Pope could not return.

The ImPopester is on a mission to destroy the Catholic Church and prepare the sheep for the slaughter.

“To continue to define a heretic or apostate or non-Catholic or lunatic as the pope is to attack the papacy itself!”

When a system facilitates evil the system itself is also evil.

“religious submission of mind and will must be shown in a special way to the authentic magisterium of the Roman Pontiff..."

Just a little theological note here to the Catholics among us: the obligation is not to support papal diplomacy, papal politics, papal pseudo-science (e.g. "Carbon gonna kill us!"), papal public policy preferences, papal personal foibles and phobias, etc.

The obligation is to adhere to the "authentic magisterium."

And what is that, pray tell?

It's pretty much re-stated in the Catholic Catechism. Not just a matter of pull-quotes, but also the essential, larger context. It's summarized in even more succinct form in the Creed you say at Mass ever week. The one that begins, "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth."

Hate to say this, but he may not be the first.

On the day that died Pope innocent III (who was evidently not very innocent) appeared to Saint Lutgarda in flames and told her that he was expiating three crimes that he had repented by sill had to make atonement for. He begged her and her fellow nuns for prayers, because otherwise, he said, he would have to stay in purgatory until the end of time.

If Innocent III was facing purgatory until "the end of time" (which is not "forever," mind you, because time does have an end)--- and he was by no means the worst of popes --- then some of those who were just as bad and did NOT repent, would have been facing eternal hellfire.

Not naming any names. But there may be popes in hell.

“When a system facilitates evil the system itself is also evil.”

Please illustrate how Jesus is uniquely exempt from your claim in the case of one of the twelve apostles whom He chose who was permitted to perform the vilest of evil, and why the Church (His bride!) which “system” He founded is not exempt from any such kind of regrettable affair.

“repented by sill” = “repented but still”

Is that auto-correct or auto-%$@%#%$??

You’re trying to divert from what I posted and you’re trying to create a straw man argument that I will not defend.

The current system of the Catholic church facilitates a whole boatload of evil from the systematic buggering of little boys to the outrageous conspiracy that protected child molesters and now it’s a system that has elevated a socialist apostate and heretic to leadership.

Fix that system and you can fix a great many of the problems that have been caused by the homosexuals taking over your church leadership.

No, I think we are actually in agreement. The system to which you refer is the Vatican II false church, and has been around for over 50 years. The Catholic Church is underground now, awaiting and praying for a true Pope (which the Church hasn’t had for over 50 years).

Thank you.

I may not be a Catholic but I have a deep regard for the church and wish it nothing but success. My anger is directed at those who would tear it apart from within and not at any believing Catholics. Those same elements are assaulting every Christian denomination because, above all, they hate the name of Jesus. We have a common enemy and I believe it is important for all of us to stand >together< against these perverse and sick demons.

Kindest regards,

Megan
