Francis Was Elected To Carry Out a Lutheran Reform
Monsignor Antonio Livi, a former dean and professor at the Lateran University in Rome, formerly incardinated in the Opus Dei, told Gloria.tv in an exclusive interview that Pope Francis was elected to carry out a – quote – “reform in the Lutheran sense”. According to Livi, in the new Lutheran church-to-come the pope, the bishops and the priests will not be anymore an expression of the sacred but of politics.
The Term “People” Is A Rhetorical Image
Monsignor Livi criticizes the term “people” which Pope Francis loves to apply to the Church. Livi points out that “people” is a mere rhetorical image. Quote, “The people is made up of a multitude of different persons, therefore nobody ever knows what ‘the people’ wants.” And, “There are those in the people who are full of faith like Padre Pio and those who have no faith at all.”
The Election of Francis Was Orchestrated
On the basis of many historical witnesses Monsignor Livi is -quote – “absolutely certain” that the election of Pope Francis was orchestrated. He also points out that it is absurd to claim that Francis is pope because the Holy Spirit wanted so. Quote, “The Holy Spirit inspires everybody so that they may do good, but not everybody who is inspired by the Holy Spirit, effectivly does good.”

I’ve long held the opinion that this selection was NOT inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Agreed. However, it is at least making us all take stock and think about what the Faith really is, what the Church really is, etc. And I think more and more people are beginning to realize that it is up to them to express and defend the Faith, even against the (in my opinion, fraudulently elected) Pope himself.
While I do not pretend to understand its significance, I have said since the beginning of Francis pontificate I DO believe IT IS significant Benedict is still alive.
I have heard church officials imply that Soros and Obama were behind Benedict’s stepping down and Francis election. However, there is a paucity of proof of this that I’ve found.
How is the election of a Marxist Pope somehow in furtherance of a Lutheran reform?
Agreed. It was hard to acknowledge at first blush, but plainly a foreign pope was in place over the Church of the ages, with nothing in common with the Catholic Church.
Doubt the Lutherans would have the man, Bergoglio.
I’m a confessional Lutheran.
Frank is not Lutheran.
Not saying he is Catholic either, but maybe Episcopal (low church), or ELCA.
Well, I’m not a Lutheran myself but I can tell you for sure Frank is a Jackass.
He took the coward’s way out and now the world has Francis.
The monsignor should read some of Luther’s books.
As soon as I knew his origin country, his religious order, and his new name, I knew it was orchestrated.
If only...the problem is that Frankie has stocked the Vatican with his buddies and they’d poison anybody who opposed him. Actually, they’re already doing the modern non-fatal equivalent: silencing them, getting them fired, and making them non-persons. Frankie is a Marxist, and he has all the techniques down pat.

I think it means he would reform the Catholic Church by diminishing or deleting many Catholic beliefs and maybe changing or watering down our beliefs. He would make it more like Protestant churches. He is so political and getting rid of certain Catholic beliefs I believe are his goals.
I think we were clearly lied to about why Benedict left. I think this pope is not the True Pope, and more like the Anti=Christ. I sincerely think he does not believe in God.
True. I have two sources - not available to me right now - but they lack real credibility... add HRC to make it a trinity. There were a number of other sources, but none added further credibility to those I already had.
