Monsignor Pope Ping!
If no one is pope, things are again Biblical.
Boom shakalaka. Just like The Bible says, the Kingdom of Heaven is within you.
Wow...several FR Catholics would consider that hearsay and worthy of the rack at least...
Pope Culture!
Clearly it is Msgr. Charles who is Pope. : )
How is Pope Marxist doing and has he trashed America yet?
Pray America is waking
Fortunately, they'll never be able to read this.
No internet in those jails.
Speaking as a former Roman catholic who has been saved through a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ: What complete and undiluted heretical rubbish.
First of all, Christ prays for all of His saints with equal fervor, passion, and travail. No man is more or less worthy of God's favor, love, or even judgment.
Second of all, Peter did not have any "special charism." Rather, he was filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, as evidenced in the book of Acts. All who call on Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior receive the Holy Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing their inheritance, a counsel, teacher, and even battle partner (paraclete).
It was not upon a man (Peter) that the Church was built, but rather the man's faith.
Finally: The Pope is as essential to the faith and salvation of mankind as a premoistened towelette is to a gunfight. He is nothing more than a sinful man, elected by other sinful men, to be magically transformed into some supposed "vicar of Christ" (an office that not even Christ himself mentioned or created).
If you want answers, look to the wellspring of truth and salvation who is the Lord Jesus Christ, and reject the doctrine of men and demons.
As Deitrich Bonhoeffer famously said: "Christ plus anything is Antichrist; Christ minus anything is Antichrist."
“And Jesus’ plan is not to write a book and then just hope that everyone follows it and interprets it in the same way.”
Let’s get this straight. You grab your doctrine of succession from a book, then run off and build a system around it (with other bits you grabbed from the book) and then turn around and pooh-pooh the book when it rebukes you to your face?
No way to treat a book Jesus had ANYTHING to do with, Charles.
To give everyone a heads up on just Who it is they’re messing with when they in any way denigrate the authority and power of Scripture, consider this:
“And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.””—Galatians 3:8
and again
“But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.”—Galatians 3:22
Scripture issues forth from God. Dismiss it, crib from it, manipulate others with it, obscure it, exaggerate it at your peril.
**If No One is Pope, Everyone is Pope.**
If this this Socialist is an example of a Pope, well, no thank you.
So, I offer this to, like, expand your minds.

No offense to Catholics intended, but if we have Jesus why do we then need a Pope?
“We welcome someone whom the Lord prays for in a very special manner”
No more than anybody else. No more than any precious child
In fact he wont stand up for the unborn and he wont condemn teaching children that homosexuality is a option for them.
The Pope should be on his knees asking for God`s mercy
There has been a Christian revival for years, and outside of the Charismatic Catholic movement, the Catholic Church has totally missed out on it. Before this is mistaken for Catholic bashing, this is true of the mainline Churches in general.
The real Christian Churches have no divisions on belief, no nonsense such as it`s ok to be pro choice or for gay marriage etc.
The Pope will have no altar call because he dopes not know what one is, If Billy or Franklin Graham had a audience like this, they would offer a altar call , thousands upon thousands would invite Jesus into their life, there would be no mention of climate change etc
They would all be told they are sinners (I am a sinner saved by grace) they would be told that they will have to repent from the homosexual lifestyle, they will have to walk away from those unholy relationships completely.
Nobody is going to be saved from the Popes message (me thinks) but if it was Franklin Graham people would be on their knees and be overcome by the Holy Spirit
This is so tragic
Wrong. There is only one Father, and His Name is not francis.
If Mr. Pope is “Protestant-bashing”, is posting a thread with it ALSO Protestant-bashing??? Hmmmmmm.
Very Good Article, Again Msgr. Charles Pope.
