Popes and antipopes, it seems like an antipope took over the modern church.

one holy Christian apostolic church and it has nothing to do with the Roman Catholic church. It is built on Jesus Christ as the chief and cornerstone not Peter

Then it's not the Church of the Bible:

19Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord ... -- Ephesians 2:19-21, KJV

has only One mediator between God and man

This corroborates that it's not the Church of the Bible, because the Church of the Bible knows how to translate Greek, and knows that the word translated "one" in 1 Timothy 2:5 is heis ("one, unique, primary") not monos ("one only, one alone, one and only one").

- Christ Jesus alone

The Bible says:

Therefore I [a]exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in [b]authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and [c]reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior -- 1 Timothy 2:1-3, NKJV

Sounds like mediation, because that's what it is. It's mediation through Christ, not instead of Christ, of course. But it's still mediation.

The Pope mentioned in the Bible “resigned” while hanging upside down on a cross in Nero’s circus, ca AD 65.

And it all was liquidated and given to the “world’s poor” it would be spent/stolen/lost in a microsecond and there would be no discernable difference in the state of the “world’s poor”.

Odd for virtue signaling to be on this site!

The library isn’t open to the general public, but accredited scholars performing genuine research use it every day. No, you don’t need to be Catholic.

Maybe he’ll take the execrable MEEEEEE-gym Kelly with him. Flush twice for both of those scumbags.

There is the problem that Francis probably won’t keep his mouth shut like Benedict but will be second guessing and maneuvering against his successor both behind the scenes and in the press.

I hope so, worst Pope ever.

We have had power hungry popes, greedy popes, and stupid popes, but we have never had an evil pope like this one.

There was some report a week or so ago suggesting he could resign too. Not sure if the primary sources are the same or not.

I sure hope so. And hopefully the next pope won’t be a homosexual and will instead steer the church to conservative roots, clean house of homosexuals, and reestablish the church as meaningful institution, even if it upsets some people.

Ah, so Megyn Kelly is now down to reporting rumors while sitting in a car in Italy. I hope she stays there, limits herself to report Catholic Church rumors...

Amen.

Please Holy Spirit, cleanse Your Church, and send us good and faithful shepherds.

The Roman Catholic Church (RCC) has been responsible for more people turning away from Christ than any entity in history. This is not an attack on those who are Catholic by birth or who were tricked by Satan to believe in Catholicism. Like many who have not been deceived by this cult I believe Christians must request forgiveness by praying directly to Christ and not to another earthly sinner. I fault it for playing God in ordering a change in the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday to appease pagans. I do not believe their selected leader, the Pope, should be worshipped the way the RCC demands nor do I believe Christ’s mother should be worshipped as a deity. The RCC milks its followers for billions and uses it to build huge opulent buildings and fills them with expensive golden physical objects and graven images to worship. I find it appalling that the RCC even considers things like a bone from a dead person who they decreed to be a Saint as items to be worshipped. I believe if Christ arrived again today he would destroy the Vatican as surely as he destroyed Sodom. The current Pope and the RCC goes against the Bible, the very word of God, in declaring the very act of homosexuality is fine and is now even now leaning towards appeasing the wholesale murder of innocent babies. I have prayed many times for God to open Catholics eyes so than can see the RCC for what is has become and that it is not Godly and that they find a true Christian church. Yes there are many other Churches that have swayed from the teachings of the Bible and they too will be held accountable. Anyone who follows a self declared church that does not recognize Jesus as Lord and Savior and does not follow the teachings of the Bible will be cast into the lake of fire and will not see Heaven. If you are a member of the RCC please turn away from it before its too late and find a church that adheres to the teachings of the Bible and does not seek popularity by appeasing sin and modifying the Bible to do so. Please excuse the lengthy rant but if I can save even one person from the clutches of the RCC or other such non-Christian church then it was worth it.

Jesuits don’t count as Catholics…, Christians nor as good allies!

IF Cardinal Dolan, George, Mahoney, and Wuerl are ALL at the Vatican, it's on like Cardinal Kong. Bring on the white smoke!

They've had their Latinx experiment, and it's failed.

Now they could go black, but Cardinal Robert Sarah is 77 and a hard conservative (Friend Of Benedict), so much so that Francis removed him from the Liturgy council last year after objecting to the Latin Mass calumny.

Cardinal Peter Turkson is only 73 and much more of a moderate, but showed strength when he told Francis to take this job and shove it, when Turkson abruptly quit the Dicastery for Integral Human Development late last year after Francis ordered an invest to be headed by an American Cardinal.

The only American black Cardinal Wilton Gregory is a non-starter. He is a boob. Window dressing.

There is Archbishop Novatus Rugambwa, he's only 64 but Francis basically exiled him from Rome a decade ago, gave him Honduras and if that wasn't remote enough, transferred him to Oceania.

Yes, but there’s slight problem with that belief, namely that NO ONE is quite certain who has been indwelt by the Holy Ghost and who hasn’t. Moreover judging by the beliefs or lack thereof of so many people it appears she has certainly missed more than a few!
