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 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

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.
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:
24Truly, 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.
20Our 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. 22You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23But 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. 24God 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
It was Obama’s doing. That was obvious all along.
>>Church membership means nothing.<<
I thought you were one of those bible thumpers.

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?
Still awaiting your answers.
“Protestant”, look it up.
You continue to publicly affirm faith in Christ. That is duly noted.
Dude....are you that obtuse?
Are you that protestant?
No kidding, Sherlock?
I shall always have my Faith.
I need, neither a building, nor a pope.
And in time a Holy Man will come and restore sanity. As I said, I will always have my Faith.
You should know:
Correction.....youve yet to publicly affirm your faith in Christ. Youve affirmed youre a Roman Catholic but those are two different things.
Romes Tradition , like the Mormons Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price, the Koran and others cannot make that claim.
Cornered....by you???? LOL....oh that's made by day.
Oh, man. I'm still laughing.
Still awaiting your answer on which one of those Roman Catholic groups you belong to.....and your public affirmation of John 5:24.
