Yet remains the deep concern for the souls being led astray by the Vatican II apostacy
Even the Pope knows smokers suck.
Too bad Frankie isn't as concerned with our souls than he is with the environment.
So, the authors never explained the reference fully - is the “smoke of Satan” marijuana? I love the smell of church incense, but it may very well be as damaging to my health as somebody else’s exhaled breath, whether it contains tobacco smoke or not. As far as I know, there has yet to be any convincing demonstration of damage from second-hand smoke. But, if there were a danger, the smoke from cigars would be at least as toxic as cigarette smoke. Whether the smoker inhales or not is irrelevant to the effects on others.
The very least Francis could be doing is raising theological questions on the assertions made in the Islamic codex (which is their code of observance and behavior) known as Sharia, Beginning with this question

Instead of equating their bizarre concepts of what a Monotheistic Creator is and requires with what Judeo/Christian beliefs are. While they in the belief that they are following God’s command are ruthlessly murdering and torturing non believers and destroying their edifices.
Well, well. The little Communist dictator gets his own way in his own little kingdom.
Thankfully, many Catholics don’t seem to be taken in by his snake oil.

Referring to the situation of the Church today, the Holy Father affirms that he has a sense that “from some fissure the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God.” There is doubt, incertitude, problematic, disquiet, dissatisfaction, confrontation. There is no longer trust of the Church; they trust the first profane prophet who speaks in some journal or some social movement, and they run after him and ask him if he has the formula of true life. And we are not alert to the fact that we are already the owners and masters of the formula of true life. Doubt has entered our consciences, and it entered by windows that should have been open to the light. Science exists to give us truths that do not separate from God, but make us seek him all the more and celebrate him with greater intensity; instead, science gives us criticism and doubt. Scientists are those who more thoughtfully and more painfully exert their minds. But they end up teaching us: “I don’t know, we don’t know, we cannot know.” The school becomes the gymnasium of confusion and sometimes of absurd contradictions. Progress is celebrated, only so that it can then be demolished with revolutions that are more radical and more strange, so as to negate everything that has been achieved, and to come away as primitives after having so exalted the advances of the modern world.
This state of uncertainty even holds sway in the Church. There was the belief that after the Council there would be a day of sunshine for the history of the Church. Instead, it is the arrival of a day of clouds, of tempest, of darkness, of research, of uncertainty. We preach ecumenism but we constantly separate ourselves from others. We seek to dig abysses instead of filling them in.
We can assume then that they forgot to mention that this pope also banned ice cream so those fattest of the cardinals don't continue to destroy their bodies...
And since this guy is so concerned about health seems he would have them install rubber dispensers thru-out the castle to keep his queer cardinals as healthy as possible...
