I respectfully disagree. Any utterance from his mouth is interpreted as catholic teaching. Unfortunately, he has fallen flat on many occasions. In my opinion, his position in the Catholic Church requires him to keep personal opinions to himself when they conflict with Catholic dogma. I pray for his soul everyday.
So ... are you saying that priests are above criticism?
sounds like you’re cool with pedophile priests and priests such as Senor Bergoglio, a Catholic Church official who has coddled pedophiles during his entire shameful tenure as a Vatican official.
It’s not slander to tell the truth about the catastrophic regime of Senor Bergoglio, the Vatican’s highest-profile figure.
I believe in Jesus, His teachings, His ministry and His resurrection.
The real question is: do you believe in Jesus? All we know for sure is you believe in Bergoglio.
Ushering in the False Prophet...Petrus Romanus who will introduce the Beast to the world.
>> That’s funny but under the circumstances rather inappropriate!
...yet true, because PoPo seemed to embrace a variety of “gods” besides the One True GOD.
>> So ... are you saying that priests are above criticism?
Technically, she’s saying that “preists” are above criticism.
I know what a “priest” is, but who knows what a “preist” is.
Eh I doubt this today the Vatican said he made improvements and the whole thing about mild kidney failure everyone knows the older you get your kidney function decreases
......”Francis will be missed by almost no one”.....
I suspect the one who follows him will be very good in the eyes of the membership, or worse than Francis.
>> Jesus stated several times that He came here not to judge, but to save.
Which Jesus? Because this also is Jesus, and He MOST DEFINITELY judges:
[Rev 19:11-16 NLT] 11 Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war. 12 His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. 13 He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses. 15 From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress. 16 On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords.
Ah geeze. My twin brother who is a strong Protestant-ish Christian...well he married a Catholic Mexican woman. Its a crazy household over there on any given day. Man its gotta be extra crispy there now. Poor guy. Works his tail off and instead of coming home to sanctuary..comes home to screams. How he’s not an alcoholic just amazes me.
I don’t dispute that he has been a calamity for the Church. However, among the most sacred occasions there is the time the Lord puts a soul into the clay, and the time He harvests it from the clay. At such times we do well to observe a reverential silence. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive, and may the Lord be as merciful to Francis as we hope He will be to us.
That could be said for any righteous man walking with Christ....after all we are Sons of God in Christ Jesus.
I doubt he’s suffering.... likely drugged up so he doesn’t. Although if he was on oxygen there’s only so much they can give him before they unplug it and let the dying process continue shutting down the body.
Thus media is often considered vultures.
Maybe he’s in a confession booth in Purgatory.
Very true.
Had pneumonia/sepsis over a year ago. Almost didn’t make it. And I’m in my late 50s.
They did that with the Queen.
She was dead before the announcement. You could find people leaking it online if you knew where to look.
I understand that the Pontiff kissed some transients feet recently.
That’s probably how he got sick.
