It’s almost as if they have never really “read” it.
Either that or they are so blind as to not understand the times we are living in.

Or, I do even want to think about the other options....

The Bible seems to be for this Pope what the Constitution is for the previous President.

Yes it is a lot like that!

Likely the same kind of blindness the pharisees had that led them to crucify Jesus when they, of all people, should have recognize Him.

1 Corinthians 2:1-16 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

It kind of staggers the mind that someone could be so blind to the truth that they go and fulfill prophecy like that, the whole time they write it off as foolishness.
