POLAND PLAYS A WAITING GAME: HOW SENIOR CLERGY ARE BIDING THEIR TIME FOR A MORE CONSERVATIVE POPE
The Tablet ^ | July 27, 2016 | Jonathan Luxmoore

The more liberal Francis was always going to have a problem with Poland's more traditionalist Catholic hierarchy

Poland plays a waiting game: how senior clergy are biding their time for a more conservative pope.

The Polish bishops will have given Pope Francis a suitably polite welcome on his arrival in Krakow this week. But behind the scenes, they are determined to ignore most of what he says and sit out his papacy in the hope of getting a more conservative successor.

Poland is a very old country with her own language and rich history.
They have learned that time usually brings change in one way or another. Poland understands Pope Francis is the primarily the Socialist’s Pope first and the Catholic’s Pope secondarily.

Poland's more traditionalist Catholic hierarchy . . .

That would be the people who inspired King Jan Sobeski to help lift the siege of Vienna from the Muslim hordes.

And those who would accept this statement of Pope Leo XIII on socialism:

It is clear that the main tenet of socialism, community of goods, must be utterly rejected, since it only injures those whom it would seem meant to benefit, is directly contrary to the natural rights of mankind, and would introduce confusion and disorder into the commonweal. The first and most fundamental principle, therefore, if one would undertake to alleviate the condition of the masses, must be the inviolability of private property.

Sorry, guys! This is the last Pope you get! Better enjoy him while you have him! Next stop: The False Prophet! Maranatha!

This is good news. I pray for his early demise.

Occasionally, I will get an incite that is extra-Biblical, but mostly just reading the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit is all it takes.

In this case, the first timing verse in the Book of the Revelation, 12:1-2, is a sign in the heavens that only happens September 23-24, 2017, on the Feast of Trumpets. This is a festival for which “no one knows the day or the hour”, because it requires the actual observation of the New Moon.

That makes the start of the Millennial Kingdom about eight years and 2 months away. While is is possible that Ezekiel 39 refers to the final battle at the end of the Millennial Kingdom, like most such prophecies, it most likely has a near fulfillment coming up soon.

Yet you know it. What a crock.

No, I don’t know the day or the hour. It can be either September 23, 2017 or September 24, 2017, and any hour within those two days. So that meets the prophecy criteria of not knowing the day or the hour, while still knowing the season.

Now, you can think that this is a crock, and you may have 14 months to change your mind about it, but please make sure you have extra oil, holy spirit, for you lamp, so you won’t be caught without it when the Bridegroom returns.

And you also have 14 months to drop your crock.

Will you, in preparation, wear your tennis shoes during your "season"?

Will you promise that you’ll stop posting on Catholic threads on September 25, 2017, after being proved wrong?

It’s like the chicken and the egg.

You need good popes to elevate good men to the college of cardinals.

It’s Catch-22 and only divine intervention will resolve this problem.

If there are still Catholic threads on September 25, 2017, I promise not to post to them.
