Pope Francis has doubled down in his insistence that accusations and cries for justice and accountability are fruit of a diabolical spirit, saying Thursday that the only legitimate accusation is against oneself.
Before his meeting with the leadership of the U.S. Bishops Conference Thursday to discuss recent allegations of serious mishandling of clerical sex abuse reaching up to the pontiff himself, the pope used his homily at morning Mass to once again condemn accusers as allies of the devil.
Not accusing others “goes against the spirit of the world,” the pope told his small congregation in the chapel of his Santa Marta residence. “Among us is the great accuser, who always goes to accuse us before God, in order to destroy us. Satan: He is the great accuser.”
“When I enter into this logic of accusing, cursing, trying to hurt the other, I enter into the logic of the great accuser who is destructive,” he said, “who does not know the word ‘mercy.’ He does not know it and has never lived it.”
The Christian path always presents a crossroads, Francis said. On the one hand there us “the invitation of the Lord” to be merciful, an invitation that is a grace, a grace of sonship, to resemble the father. On the other hand, there is “the great accuser, Satan, who urges us to accuse others, to destroy them.”

Always remember that the difference between a Protestant and a Jesuit is that the Protestant admits that they are not Catholic.
At least Pope Che has come out of the closet.
In so many more ways than one.
Time for mass protests in St. Peter’s Square.

This is worth listening to. “...the priesthood is not for such men” (talking about men confused about their sexuality)
“People knew who McCarrick was...this goes right to the top...this man created a network of seminarians then priests and then bishops and cardinals who are all compromised... and they kept a culture of sexual secrets ... there is now and has been for decades a subculture of homosexual priests, bishops and even cardinals ...and it must be rooted out, this cannot stand...it starts with evil...sin ...and then they promote each other through a system of favors, intimidation and blackmail, and then they protect each other through the apparatus of the hierarchical structure that is inherent to the Church”
“...they are still lying...”
Time for governments worldwide to stop funneling taxpayer money to the Catholic Church.
A dog that is hit by a car will bite those who try to help it
Is it the fault of the dog, or the heartless driver that hit it?
If a person is mortally harmed by a trusted adult,
and they lash out in pain,
Whose fault is this?
You are hearing the great pain of those
who trusted the high teachers of the Church,
You are blaming those in pain, for crying out
You are protecting those who have mortally sinned
Justice is a High Virtue
Justice is one of the four cardinal virtues in Roman Catholicism.
Teach us oh Vicar of Christ
Where is the Justice in your words and actions
Amen.
And to start taxing the Church, as now they are more about politics than saving souls.
He is finding out how unpleasant it is to be around when the sh*t hits the fan. It fouled his white cassock. Yet it was his boys, and maybe he himself, who started the whole process.
Politics and predation.
It gives me no joy at all to say this:
It all makes more sense, in an awful way, if the pope himself is a closet gay. If it looks like a gay duck, quacks like a gay duck, attacks acusers like a gay duck, funds free HIV drugs like a gay duck...
Neah.
Francis is bad, especially in terms of damage done to Catholic doctrine, but he is not the worst pope ever. The “worst pope ever” bar is actually pretty high.
But you have to back pretty far to find the popes who kept mistresses, sold offices or gave them to relatives or their own bastard offspring, murdered their critics, rivals, and enemies, and waged their own wars.
All in all, popes have been pretty well behaved since about 19th century.
What a yutz.
Fair enough. Worst Pope since I’ve been alive. Jesuits are pretty much heretics and this guy is an asshole. Arrogant idiot. Low IQ.
Still, Francis ain’t the problem.
The Cardinals that appointed him are the problem.
Gotta wonder what was going on there.
He is breaking his silence about Vigano's letter.
He is saying he and his homo cabal are going to the mattresses.
Ewww.
This statement will probably go over like a terd in a punch bowl, but the veil was torn from the top down as a symbol of GOD allowing all to come directly to him not through a pope, bishop, or priest. We were all given the great commission not just pastors priests etc. The catholic church is based on a misinterpretation of what the true rock was, yes peter was the first leader after ascension but the true rock was christ as the promised messiah not Peter being Jesus’ heir.
This exposes the head of the snake.
Thou doth protest too much.
It seems the Catholic Church has been promoting those that have something on each other. They’ve all now risen to the top. This is the opposite reaction to what should be.
Something stinks, which brings into focus everything about this Pope.
It does NOT mean that we let a murderer continue his rampage!!!!!
Mercy applies to how the murderer is treated AFTER he is stopped!!!!
