Pope Francis sending money to Mexican congregations to help migrants
Washington Examiner ^ | April 27, 2019 02:46 PM | John Gage

Posted on 04/27/2019 2:28:50 PM PDT by Syncro

Pope Francis donated half a million dollars to help caravan migrants stranded in Mexico.

The money will come from the Peter’s Pence collection, which is used to “to help the poor in whatever way is possible.”

“In 2018, six migrant caravans entered Mexico, for a total of 75,000 people; the arrival of other groups was announced. All these people were stranded, unable to enter the United States, without a home or livelihood,” read a statement from the Vatican's Peter's Pence Office.

“In this context, Pope Francis donated US $ 500,000 to assist migrants in Mexico. This amount will be distributed among 27 projects in 16 dioceses and among Mexican religious congregations

Just when you don’t think the false pope can sink any lower***

Oh he is nowhere done yet

He is a strong proponent of the One World Religion and One World Order

If he is not the False Prophet he will be closely aligned with him

He has already said Catholics worship the muslim god allah

And loves the Koran, actually made out with it before

Jesus obeyed the law.

Even when it condemned him to death for a crime he didn’t commit.

The same rotten rich guys who are targeting our sovereignty for destruction, who don’t care whether we live or die, are the same ones who don’t care whether these miserable ragged “migrants” live or die, either. The rich are just using them as a human battering ram. And if it comes to a shooting war, cannon fodder.

We-— and the hapless migrants -— have the same enemy.

John described this false religion system 2,000 years ago:

Revelation 2:18-24 King James Version (KJV)

18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

If all else fails, this impostor could run for U.S. President when the REAL Body of Christ is raptured up! Those left behind would still love him! There is a particular seven year period in the near future that he is prequalified for!

Don’t laugh, this country recently elected a kenyan!

Proverbs chapter seven also describes the system he heads!

Your welcome. Here’s a C&P of a post I typed a couple days ago:

Notice in Johns writings, chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation, describing the Seven Churches, and I quote:

Revelation 1:19-20 King James Version (KJV)
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

As John writes to describe the Seven Churches, he begins by illustrating that Jesus Christ as Head of the Church is in the midst of the Seven:

Revelation 2 King James Version (KJV)

1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

As John describes in his vision, the Seven Churches,

Ephesus: (left their first love-the Love of the Truth in Jesus Christ)

Smyrna: (speaks of those who have been martyred for their faith. One of the 2 Churches found most favorable.)

Pergamos: (found to have held the doctrine of baalem, who taught balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. They also held the doctrine of the nicolaitanes, which the Lord hates, which is to say, clergy over laity)

Thyatira: (despite their works, charity, service, faith and patience, there was fault found because of spiritual fornication with jezebel, which seduced His servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. Though space was given for repentance, she refused. Jesus warns, “Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.)

Sardis: (He warns, “I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead. “spiritually” Additionally He also warns, “If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I shall come upon you.”

Philadelphia: (The Lord finds favor with those of this Church. In fact, John would write the following according to the vision given him... “behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept My Word, and have not denied My Name.” Because of this, the Lord affirms the following.... “Because you have kept the Word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them who dwell upon the Earth”

Laodicea: (These are those who are straddling the fence between God and this world. In fact, he writes... “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would that you were cold or hot. So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of My mouth. Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:....

But notice, in the introduction to the Seven churches, as noted above, The Lord is in the midst of the Seven Churches, but during the times for which we are presently living, the close of the Church Age Dispensation, the Lord says to the lukewarm church in:

Revelation 3:19-20 King James Version (KJV)

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

*note, that in this day of the falling away, just prior to the Rapture of the church, Jesus finds Himself OUTSIDE and knocking on the door.

Jesus is the Door:

John 10:1-5 King James Version (KJV)

1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

There is One Way, and ONLY One Way to the Father. Yet todays Laodicean church has implemented many ways, albeit false ways to the Father.

John 14 King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 8 King James Version (KJV)
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

“At present, this collection is taken each year on the Sunday closest to 29 June, the Solemnity of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul in the liturgical calendar. As of 2012, the United States has donated the largest amounts, giving some 28% of the total, followed by Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Brazil and South Korea. US donations totaled $75.8 million in 2008, $82,529,417 in 2009, $67,704,416.41 in 2010 and $69,711,722.76 in 2011.[18]”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter’s_Pence

It does seem to be a special collection and possibly not the normal collection on that day.

Yep. Don’t forget - they recognized the “Palestinian State” - I expect to see that happen more and more.
