The problem is most folks don’t read their Bibles. They’d rather take the tall tales from old farts like Bergolio than the Divine Holy Scriptures.

Matthew 14:15-21

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

You are correct, RWC.

The Bible is the firewall that prevents one from believing false doctrine. It is an ESSENTIAL part of putting on the whole armor of God.

Slothfulness has its consequences.

"21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children."

Women and children eat free?

You are so right !

We all need way more Bible than Bergoglio, who is antiBible.

I believe it was St. Jerome who saw the story of the multiplication of the loaves as not only the recounting of a true event, but also an allegory in Scripture about Christ and salvation.

He suggested that the five loaves represented the Old Law in the five books of the Pentateuch, and the two fish represented either the great prophets Isaiah and Elijah, or Moses and Abraham.

And the "multiplication of the loaves" represented the endless abundance of God's grace as manifested in Jesus Christ. This grace is so abundant and so far beyond the comprehension of the followers of Christ at the time that they could not "eat" it all (i.e., they could no understand it fully). So the twelve baskets of leftovers represented the grace which would be "eaten" by the human race later -- through the continuation of salvation history through the Church in its mission on earth (i.e., the Twelve apostles).
