The Election of Francis Was Orchestrated [Msgr. Livi]
Gloria TV ^ | 4/25/18

Posted on 04/30/2018 4:56:11 PM PDT by marshmallow

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 am a follower of Christ as I have told you numerous times. That makes me a Christian. Just like the disciples who followed Christ. (Acts 11:26)

I do not recall you, or hardly any other Roman Catholic, making that public profession.

You're right. Christians reject the papacy and do rely upon Scripture. Scripture is inspired. Not Roman Catholic "Tradition".

You however, must follow your current pope in what he says. You have no choice per Unam Sanctam....or does that not apply to you?

So tell us, ebb....which one of these aspects of the Roman Catholic church are you a member of [date in parenthesis date of origin...pay special attention to them]:

Catholic Charismatic Renewal – 160 million[4]

Blue Army of Our Lady of Fátima – 20 million (1946)

This one was very interesting.

The official pledge of membership is: I pledge myself to Our Lady and wish [a totally non-Biblical, and in fact, a contradictory position from both Old and New Testaments], thereby, to join the World Apostolate of Fátima

Dear Queen and Mother, who promised at Fátima to convert Russia and bring peace to all mankind, in reparation for my sins and the sins of the whole world, I solemnly promise to Your Immaculate Heart:

To offer up every day the sacrifices demanded by my daily duty

To pray at least five decades of the Rosary daily while meditating on the Mysteries

To wear the Scapular of Mount Carmel as profession of this promise and as an act of consecration to You,

To accomplish the devotion of the Five First Saturdays of the month, including the fifteen-minute meditation on the Mysteries of the Rosary.

I shall renew this promise often, especially in moments of temptation.

Legion of Mary (active and auxiliary) – 10 million

International Catholic Conference of Scouting – 8 million (1948)

Cursillo – 5 million (1944)

Worldwide Marriage Encounter – 5 million couples

Marian Movement of Priests – 5 million (1972)

Militia Immaculatae – 3 million (1917)

International Alliance of Catholic Knights – several million (1979)

Knights of Columbus – 1.9 million (1882)

Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement – several million (started 1914)

Nocturnal Adoration Societies - 2 million

Neocatechumenal Way – 1 million ( 1964)

Couples for Christ - 1 million

Society of Saint Vincent de Paul – 0.8 million (1833)

Secular Franciscan Order – 0.4 million (1221)

Young Christian Workers (JOC) - 0.2 million (1924)

School of the Cross - 0.2 million

Focolare Movement – 0.14 million (1943)

Christian Life Community - 0.12 million

Opus Dei – 0.095 million (1928)

Pax Romana (organization) - 0.06 million

Community of Sant'Egidio – 0.05 million

Communion and Liberation - 0.05 million (1954)

Salesian Cooperators Association - 0.03 million

Christian Life Movement - 0.025 million

Regnum Christi – 0.02 million

Our Lady's Rosary Makers – 0.017 million

Personal Ordinariate for former Anglicans – 0.012 million

You may think that.

A real follower of Christ would belong to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that He founded upon His rock.

Please, Don’t Call Protestants Christians

>>I am a follower of Christ as I have told you numerous times.<<

You may think that.

I know that. Question is....do you? I've never heard you affirm or deny that. So which is it....are you a follower of Christ. Are you taking Him at His promise:

24“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. John 5:24 NASB

Should be a pretty easy answer.

A real follower of Christ would belong to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that He founded upon His rock.

No....a follower of Christ is a follower of Christ. Church membership means nothing.

20“Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.” 21Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22“You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23“But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24“God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.” 26Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.” John 4:20-26 NASB

You do understand what ekklesia means......don’t you? It’s not a building or denomination.

Your disdain for Scripture is duly noted.

Awaiting your answer to the question. Should be an easy one.

You said, “Church membership means nothing.”

I have shown the Bible states otherwise.

You never answer my questions, yet when cornered you demand answers from me. No more.

How is quoting scripture, verbatim, to prove you're wrong a disdain of scripture?

And in time a Holy Man will come and restore sanity. As I said, I will always have my Faith.

Correction.....you’ve yet to publicly affirm your faith in Christ. You’ve affirmed you’re a Roman Catholic but those are two different things.

Yep. And Christians stand by the reliance upon only Scripture as it is inspired.

Rome’s “Tradition “, like the Mormon’s Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price, the Koran and others cannot make that claim.
