Old traditions...like marriage being between a man and a woman. It’s coming to a catholic church near you. Just like it did to the Church of England and the Episcopalian Church.

“...so that the Church would learn to renounce the desire for clarity and order...”

EXCUSE ME?

Let all things be done decently and in order.
1 Corinthians 14:40

Well, obviously the Church's tradition ignored what Christ declared:

Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Mind you this was declared before even one jot or tittle was ever placed upon plant fibers, animal skins, or chiseled into stone of the so called ‘new’ Testament. IF you are ignorant of the ‘holy prophets’ that Peter referenced in II Peter 3 one is in a world of hurt...

AND back in Amos, God declared: (one of those ‘holy’ prophets Peter referenced.)

Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

The ‘God’ sent ‘famine’ is well under way. Might want to revisit the parable of the ‘10 virgins’ .... not all stay virgins, spiritually speaking..

I am catholic. This pope is a babbling idiot. It appears he thinks his job is to destroy the church. He is one man and his time will pass, much like Obama’s.

The big difference being that Frankie is elevating the homosexual/pedophile mafia, which will ensure his successor will be even worse than Frankie is. There is no electorate that will vote in a "Trump" pope.

Scripture stands on its own. When you include tradition you get Francis indulgences purgatory and Mary worship to name a few. Scripture changes not. Tradition does.

The homosexual mafia has long predated Francis and has been in control of the Vatican for years. Don’t kid yourself. Francis is a symptom not a cause. And while an ok president I would not want Trump as my religious leader

I’ll follow sola scriptura when you show me where it’s at in the Bible?

Franky is certainly very busy, doing some “fundamental change”.

I’m thinking the next guy will be even worse and become the False Prophet. Though there’s no way to know the exact timing, of course.

Frankie seems to be softening up the beachhead.

We already had that Democrat compare Avenatti to the Holy Spirit.

This farce sounds like comedy, in some ways. It’s all too real and sets the stage for the Antichrist, IMHO.

Now we have “signs” “appearing” in the sky. (my thread from a few days ago for those who haven’t seen it - any lurkers out there):


[ IT’S THE MES-SKY-IAH! Christ-like figure appears in clouds over Argentina sparking religious frenzy ]

It is all coming together - just as we expected, according to God’s Word.

“Is the Pope Catholic? Inquiring minds want to know!”

Jorge Bergoglio is an Argentine Jesuit Peronist. That is all that one needs to know.

I believe Francis IS the False Prophet. I have no clue about the identity of the Antichrist. But I believe he’s alive today. Francis is, in my opinion, an apostate and an antipope. I just hope Our Savior returns soon to destroy evil once and for all.

Why would the Catholics accept a temple at the Vatican dedicated to the Serpent. That was back in the 70’s.

Pope Francis by his continuing social engineering pontificating and attempts to bridge build religions By equalizing the mono theistic claims of Islam Claiming it honors the same Judeo Christian deity. Is only encouraging the continuing attacks and murders of African and Asian Catholics as well as attacks elsewhere including Russia, France, even California and destruction of their churches. by Islamic followers. By refusing to commentwhen these outbreaks occur let alone condemn such action Then this Pope decri es the sale and use of arms which Christian’s could use to defend themselves or warn the faithful not to proselytize or be “fundamental” to discourage conversions. are used by Islamists because they appear to support Islam’s mono theistic claims which is the way Islamists interpret the Pope’s remarks. Seemingly supported by Francis’s refusal to condemn or refute when those theological Islamic claims authorizing murder, deceit and deceptions are used while committing these atrocities becomes the unintended result.

Let US pray that bridge builder Pope Francis gets a Colonel Boggie moment and does a meaculpa and finally decides to question what he’s done and falls on the dentonator and resigns.

It’s certainly not impossible. Let’s see if the old boy starts doing some magic, like calling down fire from Heaven (I believe the Church will be gone by then).

Tribulation Saints will witness it, though.

They are still working on “peace” in the Middle East, of course. Just as prophesied.

Even the phraseology fits the Bible - exactly (in the Revised Standard version of this verse).


1 Thessalonians 5:3 Revised Standard Version

3 When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpJbAE6BmHo

Now of course this has been happening for decades (as the various people shown here indicate).

But this idea is being “sold” to the world - Divide Israel, “peace” between Jew and Arab - all with a false messiah who will rule a (basically) New World Order.

Frankie is helping to set the stage for the One-World Religion, IMHO.

The speed and intensity is definitely increasing.

I was just talking to a guy at Wal*Mart last night as we were stuck in line, waiting.

Intrigue has always been in the Vatican. 10 Popes have been murdered. Yet we still had Pope John Paul in the 80’s to team up with Ronald Reagan and Margret Thatcher to change the world.

This is the first time I’ve ever agreed with the man.
