Why would I admit to a lie?
I'm a Catholic. I, to the best of my ability, obey the Ten Commandments. I worry about Hell. I don't consider myself saved and always saved. I believe in faith and works, not "sola fides".
This pope is not a man of God. Do not listen to his bablings. He wants you to ignore tradition so he can instill his herasies in your mind. Hold onto the traditions of the Catholic Church. Christ taught his disciples what God the Father instructed him to. This pope would have you to believe that he didn’t. I wish God would remove this unholy man from his position.
Don't worry about me, I never have. I knew he was bad news within days of his "election".
You're the only *he* in this conversation.
I have no idea of what you’re babbling about.
Satan incarnated now sits upon the throne of Peter.
Why am I not surprised?
I am noticing some small, SMALL, changes that suggest that herertofore defenders of this Pope are having a change of heart.
One of the priests serving Mass in my area used to be a BIG promoter of Pope Francis - and his mindset - during his homilies.
Then, The Viganò Letters were published.
At that time, many people said they'd respond by withholding money from the basket. Some websites even published a postcard demanding changes that people could print out and put in the basket instead of money.
Some people went further...our good FRiend Mrs. Don-O said she started writing her local bishop.
Fast-forward to about a month or so ago. My previously-pro- Francis priest hasn't mentioned the Pontiff in a LONG time. Going further, his homilies aren't filled with modernist claptrap anymore. In fact last Sunday's homily was far from Traditionalist but was - dare I say - enjoyable.
Change doesn't usually come quickly in the Church. Further, many laity aren't amped-up like FReepers...they are busy people who see what's happening, hope for the best, and keep coming to Mass (thankfully they don't quit, which is after all what Satan WANTS out of these conflicts).
But when a small win is achieved, it is important to take notice.
On one build and installed to his honor by all appearances.
It now appears that the Catholic claim of being the body of Christ and God protecting His church (meaning Roman Catholicism) has been proved to be ummmm...... inaccurate shall we say?

I don’t “denigrate Scripture”, I hold it up to prove you wrong.
Where?
John 6:41-66
Peter has no throne. Christ has a throne. This is what happens when you elevate men to be the foundation of the church not Christ.
What's it like for them to be newly-illumined noobies in the midst of the bizarro-world of this lamentable pontificate?
Well, I'm happy to report that so far, they seem very interested in our earliest roots, and not much interested at all in the Francis Anomaly.
"We just want to learn to be closer to Jesus as good Catholics" pretty much sums it up.
:o)
:o)
:o)
It's a good sign.
I've seen this book used for noobs in more Trad areas (but not SPXX types)...it is very accessible though it is thick. It is more for people who really want to dig in but it's a wonderful book for anyone.
I truly believe we've seen an increased billowing of the smoke of Satan in response to the Viganò letters. The fact that new souls coming in to the faith aren't "inhaling" is spectacular.
Like in the verses where Jesus said that anyone who ate of Him would never hunger, never thirst, and live forever?
Do you get hungry again after taking communion?
Do you get thirsty?
Will you die?
Do you take “..the flesh is NO HELP AT ALL...* literally as well?
THAT (vs 63) is where Jesus tells them that he’s speaking metaphorically.
The current *throne* that the pope sits on at the Vatican looks more like Satan’s the that of Jesus.
Have you seen pictures of it?
Rome forsook Jesus long ago. The fruit of that decision is now ripening and Catholicism is reaping in the whirlwind what it sowed in the wind.
