Satan is attacking bishops; they must fight with prayer, pope says
NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER ^ | 09/11/18 | Carol Glatz,

Posted on 09/11/2018 1:18:32 PM PDT by winoneforthegipper

In these times, Pope Francis said, it seems like the devil, "the great accuser, has been let loose and he's got it in for the bishops. True, there are, we are all sinners, we bishops."

The great accuser "seeks to reveal sins, which people can see, in order to scandalize the people" of God, he said in his homily during morning Mass at Domus Sanctae Marthae.

He’s attacking the entire Church, Mr. Pope.

He’s acting like the Bishops are poor defenseless creatures. Goooooood night. Any other phrase will get me banned. Sigh.

Catholics of the ages must come back. Fill the pees and in prayer make obvious the intent.

Course leaving jack squat to the collection basket.

Doesn’t look like they’re fighting Satan very hard. Looks more like they’re in cahoots.

Maybe instead of chastity vows, they need a more dramatic surgical solution.

I’ve already seen this South Park episode. What else is on?

Satan is the false accuser. When he accused Job before God, his accusations were false, so Job was able to overcome his trials.

Does communion still count if you receive it from a priest who is sick with Satan? Is he even performing the mass with the love of Jesus and does he care about your soul. And if so for which side?

imho, and given that he’s a bishop himself....
yes he could be correct...
in his case, Satanic possession? or?

Ya know... Francis has been wrong about a lot of things, but he sounds right about this one...

I believe Christendom as a whole (all the segments including Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant) have been lackadaisical for a long time about praying. Why? “You do not receive because you do not ask.” Pray for God to bless the bishops. Yes, even if you don’t agree with what they are doing. Because the blessing may set them right.

I think that attack by Satan was successfully wrapped up a long time ago. St. Peter’s Basilica is a giant pregnant serpent wearing a crown. Aerial view.

Another possibility is “oppression.” Weak Christians are especially susceptible to this.

God promises a victory... prayer, however, will make the difference between a bare victory and a huge victory.

The Great Holy Father of the Rump Riders speaks again. If anybody is speaking for Satan, he’s it.

So Bishops falling to protect their parishioners from predatory clergy has nothing to do with it, eh?

Even stopped clocks get it right twice daily. Why not pray for greater holiness for all the clergy? It’s easy to damn, harder to bless.

Who are the people in your picture, and what is the context?
