As a non-Catholic, can anyone explain to me WTH is going on with Pope Francis? To an outsider, he appears to be doing everything he can to destroy his church.
“As a non-Catholic, can anyone explain to me WTH is going on with Pope Francis? To an outsider, he appears to be doing everything he can to destroy his church.”
He’s a leftard, and a leftard is a leftard first, before he is a citizen, before he is a man, before he is a priest, before he is pope.
The earlier poster is correct: it is analogous to Felonia von Pantsuit having stolen the election.
As to what’s going on, Exactly 33 years to the day prior to the great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, that is, on October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a remarkable vision. When the aged Pontiff had finished celebrating Mass in his private Vatican Chapel, attended by a few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at the foot of the altar. He stood there for about 10 minutes, as if in a trance, his face ashen white. Then, going immediately from the Chapel to his office, he composed the above prayer to St. Michael, with instructions it be said after all Low Masses everywhere.
When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he suddenly heard voices - two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation:
The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: “I can destroy your Church.”
The gentle voice of Our Lord: “You can? Then go ahead and do so.”
Satan: “To do so, I need more time and more power.”
Our Lord: “How much time? How much power?
Satan: “75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.”
Our Lord: “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”
In 1886, Pope Leo XIII decreed that this prayer to St. Michael be said at the end of “low” Mass (not “high”, or sung Masses) throughout the universal Church, along with the Salve Regina; and the practice of the congregation praying these prayers at the end of Mass continued until about 1970, with the introduction of the new rite of the Mass.
Here’s the prayer (although it is more powerful in Latin):
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl throughout the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
It should also be noted that this is the “short version” of the prayer. The complete prayer seems to be fading into oblivion.
I can answer that by paraphrasing a question I often asked about our previous president.
“If Pope Francis was actively trying to destroy the church, what would he be doing differently than he is doing now?”
It's NOT his church! It belongs to Jesus. He is the under Shepard. Look up the verses in the Bible speaking of the "hireling". There are verses that speak of the False Prophet in Revelation.
Just as an example of how ridiculous this is getting,..."Jesus didn't establish rules"....Jesus is God, He established all the rules. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus is the Word. Jesus is God. When Jesus spoke the earth was formed. Nothing was created that He didn't create. Jesus is the name given to the "Son" of God". Just like Melchizedek was a form of God on earth, the Angel of the Lord was a form of God on earth, The finger that wrote the 10 Commandments was a form of God, the Burning Bush was a form of God,...Jesus was God put into a human form. The pillar of smoke and fire was God. It's all the same One God. Jesus said, I and the Father are One. If you've seen Me, you've seen the Father.
People that are looking for 3 Gods are missing the point. There is One God that came in 3 forms. God is Spirit. Jesus is a man filled with this Spirit. Jesus was glorified in a man's body. Jesus made the rules, and then came to fulfill them as a man. Jesus said He didn't come to condemn mankind, but to save them. Then He said the Word would judge them. He is the Word. It will be Jesus that will be throwing unbelievers into hell after everyone has been preaching Grace from Jesus. In the Valley of Megido, Jesus will slaughter enough people to fill the valley 5-6 ft high for 184 miles.
Explaining God as a "Trinity" is wrong. It's easier to understand as a Triune God. One God in 3 forms. Being a Trinity infers 3 Gods. There is only one God and he made the rules and then fulfilled them. One of the rules is sodomites won't see the Kingdom of God.
