Pope Francis has a curious understanding of the bible, according to him it’s a real book that contains stories that may or not be ‘mythical’, like the flood of Noah. He seems to be quite unsure of the veracity of the Genesis account, so he quotes secular experts who agree it’s mythical . I am guessing he does this so as to not offend the atheists.
“And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.” Genesis 6:17 (KJB)
Moving on from whether or not the ‘vicar of Christ’ actually does believe the biblical account of Noah’s flood, on his second point there is no misunderstanding him. Pope Francis believes that climate change is something that God will judge the world for with perhaps a second flood, and says nothing about God judging people for their sins. Guess no one told Francis that God cursed the earth back in Genesis 3, and Romans 8 shows of how the earth desires to be released from that curse. But isn’t that just like the Whore of Babylon to get you focused on your ‘sin’ of climate change while leaving your actual sins which you have committed unpaid for.
If you are a Roman Catholic, your pope is taking you to Hell at lightning speed. You better get saved before you die because Hell is real, and purgatory is not. Choose wisely. And I can guarantee you one thing, no one will be sent to Hell for how they treated the earth. But you will be sent to Hell for dying without getting saved by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Pope Francis has warned of the possibility of a second great flood, like that of Noah’s time, if humanity fails to address global warming.
“God’s wrath is directed against injustice, against Satan,” the pope states in a book titled Of Vices and Virtues due for release Tuesday. “It is directed against evil, not that which derives from human weakness, but evil of Satanic inspiration: the corruption generated by Satan.”
“God’s wrath is meant to bring justice, to ‘clean up,’” the pontiff declares in an advance excerpt of the book published by the Italian daily Corriere della Sera Sunday.
“The Bible says that the flood is the result of God’s wrath,” Francis continues. “It is a figure of God’s wrath, who according to the Bible has seen too many bad things and decides to obliterate humanity.”
“THE BIBLICAL FLOOD, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS, IS A MYTHICAL TALE,” THE POPE STATES, PARENTHETICALLY ADDING HIS HOPE THAT NO ONE WRITES THAT “THE POPE SAYS THE BIBLE IS A MYTH.”
“But myth is a form of knowledge,” he says. “The flood is a historical tale, archaeologists say, because they found traces of a flood in their excavations.”
“A great flood, perhaps due to a rise in temperature and the melting of the glaciers, is what will happen now if we continue along the same path,” the pope warns.
“God unleashed his wrath, but he saw a righteous one, took him and saved him,” he says. “The story of Noah demonstrates that God’s wrath is also salvific.”
The pope’s new book recounts conversations between the pontiff and Father Marco Pozza, chaplain of the prison of Padua in the north of Italy.
Francis has made care for the environment and opposition to climate change a hallmark of his almost eight-year pontificate, taking to task world leaders who have shown too little resolve in their battle against global warming.
HE SAID LAST YEAR THAT IT IS “EVIDENT” THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS TO BLAME FOR A NUMBER OF HUMANITY’S SOCIAL ILLS, AS WELL AS DISRUPTING THE BALANCE OF NATURE.
“It is evident that climate change not only upsets the balance of nature, but causes poverty and hunger, affects the most vulnerable, and sometimes forces them to leave their land,” the pope told a group gathered in the Vatican. The pope’s audience consisted of participants in a meeting of members of the Laudato Sì community, named after the pontiff’s 2015 encyclical letter on the environment, which bears the same name.
“We need a real will to tackle the root causes of the ongoing climate upheavals,” Francis insisted. “Generic commitments are not enough — words, words.
Frankie is trying to reach Dementiaville before Xiden. His Golden Staircase doesn’t go all the way to the top either.
The Pope worships Gaia and Marx.
The Pope is a dope. The Church will be better served with a new leader.
Roman Catholic have a very dim view of the Bible.
I wish he’d get a job, and stop pretending to be Pope of the Catholic Church.
Great! A Communist Atheist Idiot at the Helm of the Catholic Church. Satan must be very happy.
If he thinks the flood of Noah is a phony, I guess we know what he thinks of the fire and brimstone that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Huh? He directly contradicts Genesis 9:11 "Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth"?
OK for an athiest, not so much for a Pope.
Pope Dope
Why do Chatholics put up with this guy ?
What’s the matter with them ? I know that every pastor has his flock , but these people seem to really be sheep....
Yeah. Francis is a commie jerk. But the RC Church which I’m a member of, has for quite a while relegated such Old Testament bible stories to the realm of the homily and no longer canon.
Yeah POPE you just make up stuff as you go along...you are a modern day NIMROD who thought he could get closer to God by building a tower which the Lord forbid. The first flood was not for what man did to earth it was for sins they created an did to each other. He said he wont destroy us by flood again...but you would not know that because “mother earth” is more precious that the shed blood of the one hanging ON that crucifix you wear and taking 10s of millions of Catholics with you. You are an apostate POPE and people in your church better flee for their lives!

Nonsense. I believe in precisely what I believed before +Francis came on the scene, his scandalous nonsense du jour notwithstanding. My faith is in Christ, his teaching, his promises, and his Church -- not in the custodian of that Church with whose presence we are currently afflicted, in God's justice and mercy. Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The only person +Francis is certainly putting at risk of going "to hell at breakneck speed" is the one he sees in the mirror.
And the brimstone is evident there today.
The Dope is Satan’s son.
Francis is the AntiChrist?
Or he’s attempting a good impersonation.
How long before we have a debate at Oxford about the existence of God, with Pope Francis arguing that He doesn’t exist?
He needs to go back to Argentina and continue his work for the 4th reich.
Jesús must have been a liar or a lunatic when he referred to Noah in Luke and Matthew!
