This pope is compelling many Catholics to refer to him in ways we would never think of using to address any other pope.
But it’s the truth, that remark by Pope Francis is indeed
the “epitome of absurdity”. That’s probably the most respectful way to respond to it.
I keep this in mind: “This too shall pass”.
Interesting factoid about Fatima appearance. Widely reported that Our Lady told Lucia to pray for the conversion of Russia. Cold War Catholics like me always took that to mean a conversion from atheism. However Mary’s final appearance to the three was in October of 1917. A month before the Julian calendar’s October when the Red Revolution happened. I have thought since I noticed this discrepancy years ago that Our Lady was offering a prediction and a warbmning. PiusXII, JohnXXIII, PaulV, John Paul II, Benedict, all knew this. Francis, it seems, knows it as well but has chosen to either ignore it or work against it.
This Pope worships Earth idols, so this is to be expected.
The College of Cardinals would have done better if they randomly selected a Catholic from the phone book as Pope.
“Nature”?
As in “Gaia”, or Mother Earth, whom we evil modern men have offended?
Or...
1 John 5:19-20 J.B. Phillips New Testament
19-20 “We know that we ourselves are children of God, and we also know that the world around us is under the power of the evil one.”
Perhaps it is the evil one, not “Nature”, lashing out at mankind, whom God loves.
the West lives today in “a state of practical atheism.”
We all need to pray, fervently.
