Francis has left me scratching my head more than once. Still, he can't be a complete idiot, and he can't want the Catholic Church to disappear from the face of the Earth.

What is his end game? If it's the same as other Christian denominations that are hemorrhaging faithful until there are none left, it seems impossible. Are the gates of hell prevailing against it...the Church, that is?

That isn't supposed to happen.

No, the Gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church. She has withstood the damage of other poor shepherds in the past. This false pope will not bring her down.

How about establishing the one world religion that is expected to be set up during the end times?

Scripture indicates that the false prophet will set up a one world religion.

Considering the political pieces are falling in place to fulfill Scripture for the end times, it's no surprise that the religious pieces are falling into place as well.

It actually adds certainty to the thought that these are the end times.

[Architect of Avalon]

Francis wants to rewrite the church in his own image.
