Two white doves released by children standing alongside Pope Francis as a peace gesture today were attacked by other birds.

As tens of thousands of people watched in St. Peter’s Square, a seagull and a large black crow swept down on the doves right after they were set free from an open window of the Apostolic Palace.

One dove lost some feathers as it broke free from the gull. But the crow pecked repeatedly at the other dove. It was not clear what happened to the doves as they flew off. …

Some people may take that as a divine omen; others will just see two hungry birds.

YES!OMINOUS!

Vatican hires world’s leading pro-homosexual corporations as advisors

Randy Engel
January 1, 2014
Introduction
In their efforts to bring “transparency” and “efficiency” and “financial reform” to the Government of the Vatican City State (the “Governatorato”), Vatican officials have managed to completely ignore the lack of moral credentials of the mega firms they have hired to carry out these tasks including the world’s top pro-lesbian, “gay,” bisexual, transgender (LGBT) consulting firm of Ernest & Young, now formally known as EY. [1] Nor, apparently, did Ernest & Young officers volunteer this information before signing their formal contract with the Vatican to seal their lucrative consultation deal. Nor, apparently, did the leaders of the Homosexual Collective Internationale feel constrained to publicly denounce this well-advertised, but incredulous business arrangement between the alleged “homophobic” Roman Catholic Church and the London-based corporate giant of Ernest & Young, the world’s most “gay friendly” employer.

Only problem with that is they where not the same specie of birds attacking the doves. Given how much the Church is being attached from outside and from within this likely represents the following:

Crow = the Devil and his forces outside the Church.

Seagull = those in the Church who look like a dove(i.e. Faithful) who have allied themselves with the Devil and/or world.

That also happened when Benedict after being elected appeared in the balcony and released a dove. What appeared then was a gull. Matter of fact I posted a comment about it.

A lightning bolt strikes the top of the Vatican’s St Peter’s Basilica, just hours after Pope Benedict XVI announced his surprise resignation on Monday.
