Archbishop Blaise Cupich of Chicago ranks as one of the most progressive (if not heretical) bishops in the United States. His disdain for Catholic morality is all-too-well known. To wit:
As bishop of Spokane Washington he forbade his priests from participating in the 40 Days for Life campaign.
When the Supreme Court passed a ruling on "gay mowwidge", the statement he uttered was, at best, limp-wristed lip service to marriage.
He issued a statement claiming that gun control and immigration are equal in importance to baby-slaughter.
He advocates violations of Canon 915.
Despite all these serious and blatant shortcomings, the pope personally invited him to participate in the sin-nod, where he opined that de facto unrepentant adulterers could receive Holy Communion.. Now it seems that the pope is doubling down on promoting this man to high position in the Church. It was announced today that the pope has named Cupich to the Congregation for Bishops Yes that is the same committee from which the pope ejected Cardinals Rigali and Burke and also placed Cardinal Wuerl. LifeSiteNews and Church Militant TV both have additional commentaries.
Ladies and gentlemen, this pope knows what he is doing He knows very well that Cupich will lobby to have clerics of his own low caliber ordained as bishops. They will most likely offer poor leadership to their own flocks.
I'm calling upon my willfully naive friends to cease their denial regarding this pope. Yes, others have made mistakes during their pontificates. But when "mistakes" happen with alarming frequency, common sense dictates that these "mistakes" are deliberate.
These are the End Times. This is what is written in the Word of God about what will happen. The Catholic Church will participate, and might even lead, the Great Apostasy. This Pope could actually turn out to be the Anti-Christ or the False Prophet. The Protestant Churches and the various Christian Cults, Islam, Buddism, Hinduism, etc. will be in there as well. That is why it is called a One World Religion.
If you are a believer in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, and pray to be found worthy to escape the Wrath to come, then you will be out of here before the Great Tribulation starts. If you are a believer and think you want to go through the Great Tribulation, then maybe Jesus will protect you, but the preponderance of Scripture says you will get your head cut off. Either way, you will make it to the Glassy Sea and get to come back with Jesus at his Second Coming to administer the Millennial Kingdom.
I didn’t give Bible verses on purpose. It is really time to break it out and read it every day. Follow Msgr. Charles Pope’s daily messages. I am convinced that he is the Anointed Pope for this the last generation.
Most of all, “Let not your heart be troubled!” Jesus told you that this was going to happen, before it happened, so that when it started to happen, you would believe! Believe! Read your Bible and pray!
Weren’t people moving away from the Episcopal “church” to the Catholic Church for better marriage guidelines and refusal to “recognize” gays? If so, with this pope and progressive bishop, they’d best think again.
Something once said about waking up one morning to find that the world was Arian.
Dear ebb tide,
This reply from SubMareener, is of course condemned heresy:
“Either way, you will make it to the Glassy Sea and get to come back with Jesus at his Second Coming to administer the Millennial Kingdom.”
