Marxist/Socialist Pope Francis: A Look At His Bizarre Years in the Vatican

On By Geri UngureanIn Pope Francis4 Comments

Brethren, I believe that it is time for the remnant of born again, blood washed believers in Jesus Christ to focus on the ONLY things which are important. And that would be praying, studying the Word of God, encouraging and fellowshipping with other believers, and sharing the Gospel with the lost; to help them to discern the ‘doctrines of devils’ from the Holy Word of God.

I’m sorry if any of my readers feel that the title of this article is too harsh. But as I have been saying in many of my recent articles, I believe that demon possession is at an alarming high in these last days. And it is SO evident when we watch the Left in action, as it is evident when we watch Pope Francis – the words he says and his actions.

I have written in the past five years about the United Nations, and how many of its members worship Lucifer. They call him Lucifer, but those of us who read the Word know that he is Satan.

Lucifer sounds less evil to the lost.

Why don’t we just call him what he is – the DEVIL?

If you missed the United Nations articles,  I will post two of them here:

Covenant Interfaith Reports

Pope Francis’s openness to other faiths is part of a trend at the Vatican

A post today on the Wild Hunt noted that on a recent trip to Brazil, Pope Francis met with representatives of Candomblé  The post asked:

If the Pope embraces reconciliation with Candomblé, with real, human, interface between leaders, why shouldn’t Catholics also embrace practitioners of Vodou? Or indigenous African religions? Or modern Paganism, for that matter? Indeed, the Pope’s new attitude is needed more now than ever before. We live in a world where human beings, fueled by religious beliefs, are persecuting and killing one another in increasingly disturbing incidents. What better time for a Pope to emphatically embrace an interfaith mission? A mission that had been blunted during the Papacy of Benedict, but now, hopefully, will bear new fruit. – See more at: http://wildhunt.org/#sthash.QePEpg39.dpuf

The current Pope has a history of being friendly to interfaith work.  When he was Cardinal Bergoglio, he was a supporter of the United Religions Initiative in his diocese.

Maria Crespo, an Argentine Catholic and Global Support Coordinator for the URI said in an article last March that she had worked directly with Bergoglio on interfaith efforts.  He hosted a meeting of Crespo’s URI Cooperation Circle, which fosters interfaith cooperation, at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral. “He is so open and welcoming and humble at the same time,” she said.  (Laird Harrison, “Bay Area Catholics May Find the New Pope a Mixed Bag,” KQED News Fix, March 13, 2013, http://blogs.kqed.org/newsfix/2013/03/13/new-pope-chosen/)

The URI has posted: “In 2007, URI – represented by Bishop Swing, Maria Eugenia Crespo and CC [Cooperation Circle] members – celebrated the 10th anniversary of our first meeting in the beautiful Metropolitan Cathedral in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Little did we know one of our esteemed participant and friend, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, would be named Pope just five years later!  Felicitaciones, Papa Francis!”  (http://www.facebook.com/unitedreligionsinitiative)

This is part of a noticeable warming of the Vatican towards the URI.

Under Pope John Paul II, the URI was primarily attractive to Catholic dissenters, but the then-Archbishop of San Francisco, William Levada, allowed his diocesan staff and newspaper to promote it without hindrance.  At one point, Archbishop Levada told Father Gerry O’Rourke that when O’Rourke was doing interfaith work with the URI he should tell folks that he was doing this on his [the Archbishiop’s] behalf.

Under Pope Benedict XVI, William Levada was swiftly brought to Rome and raised to be the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (once known as the Holy Office of the Inquisition).  One of the last things Levada did before leaving San Francisco was to invite me to represent the Wiccan community at a service at the cathedral for John Paul II.  When Levada was raised to be Cardinal, he invited some URI leaders to join in the festivities in Rome.

The URI continued to spread, and attracted donations from Catholic leaders from 2004 onward.  Donors acknowledged by the URI included the Archdiocese of Baltimore (2005), the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (2004), Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the retired Archbishop of Washington DC (2005), and Archbishop George Niederauer, of the Archdiocese of San Francisco (2008).  Fr. James Channan, who served on the URI Global Council from 2002 to 2008, received an award from the Vatican in December 2005 as a “Pioneer of Christian Muslim Dialogue in Pakistan,” indicating Rome’s approval of his interfaith work.  This award was granted during the reign of Pope Benedict XVI.

Now, the current Pope sponsored and participated in URI activities before coming to Rome.

Pope Francis also has supporters at the Council for a Parliament of the World Religions (CPWR).  There are two articles of interest on their website:

While there is no question that Pope Francis is an ardent and devout Christian and a defender of the faith, throughout his career he has been a friend to interfaith work.  Let’s hope that this trend continues, both for him and for the Vatican.  Communication is always better than violence; and it is always better to be building relationships than fences.”   source

Brethren, please go back and read the first sentence in the last paragraph of the article.   I will write it again:

“While there is no question that Pope Francis is an ardent and devout Christian and a defender of the faith, throughout his career he has been a friend to interfaith work.”

That is the oxymoron of oxymorons!   A devout Christian and defender of the faith AND a friend to interfaith work?   A person can be one, but not both of these things.  They thoroughly contradict one another.

Francis is a Marxist and no More a Christian Than was Barack Obama

Let’s take a look at the beliefs of Francis:

These quotes from the pontiff were taken from an article I wrote in 2018 :

The Sayings of Pope Francis Compared to the Word of God

You can really get to know Francis by reading his quotes:

Underneath each of his quotes, I indented the TRUTH from God’s Word:

Francis:   “Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good… Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.”

Isaiah 5:20 – “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Francis:   “Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.”

John 1:12 – “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:”

Francis:    “From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.”

This is NOT what the Bible says. To say that there is a spark of divine light within each of us SMACKS of New Age teaching! 

Francis:  “A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‘Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?’ We must always consider the person.”

Romans 1:24-27 – “Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”

Francis:   “I am always wary of decisions made hastily. I am always wary of the first decision, that is, the first thing that comes to my mind if I have to make a decision. This is usually the wrong thing. I have to wait and assess, looking deep into myself, taking the necessary time.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 —“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Francis:  “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn’t marginalize people for this. They must be integrated into society.”

Proverbs 14:6 — “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

Francis:   “There is a need for financial reform along ethical lines that would produce in its turn an economic reform to benefit everyone. This would nevertheless require a courageous change of attitude on the part of political leaders.”

Giving advice to political leaders and to the leaders of the financial market — this is for the Pope to do? I thought that bringing people to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ is what the church should be about. But Catholicism is clearly not part of the body of Christ. I know that there are people who attend a Catholic church and are saved. But most of these people come out from that false church.

Francis:   “The Jesuits have a vow to obey the pope, but if the pope is a Jesuit, maybe he should have a vow to obey the superior general… I feel like I’m still a Jesuit in terms of my spirituality, what I have in my heart.”

1 Corinthians 11:1 — “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.”

Francis:   “Proselytism is solemn nonsense; it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.”

Matthew 28:19-20 — “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Francis:   “A church without women would be like the apostolic college without Mary. The Madonna is more important than the apostles, and the church herself is feminine, the spouse of Christ and a mother.”

WHERE in the Bible does it say that the mother of Jesus is more important than the Apostles??

Francis:   “The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone!”

Romans 10:9 — That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Francis:  “Right now, we don’t have a very good relation with creation.”

Can you say ‘WICCA’?

Francis:  “My authoritarian and quick manner of making decisions led me to have serious problems and to be accused of being ultraconservative. I have never been a right-winger. It was my authoritarian way of making decisions that created problems.”

Oh, Pope Francis — we would NEVER call you a right-winger!

Francis:   “God is not afraid of new things. That is why he is continuously surprising us, opening our hearts and guiding us in unexpected ways,”

This came from the Pope’s mouth, when asked about homosexuality. GOD is not afraid of new things?? He is Creator of the Universe and of each one of us!!! Guiding us in unexpected ways?? HIS WORD NEVER CHANGES!!

Francis:  “Safeguard Creation,” he said. “Because if we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us! Never forget this!”

New Age, New Age, New Age……

Francis:   “But when we exploit Creation we destroy the sign of God’s love for us, in destroying Creation we are saying to God: ‘I don’t like it! This is not good!’ ‘So what do you like?’ ‘I like myself!’ – Here, this is sin! Do you see?”

No, Pope Francis – I do NOT see.

Francis:  “Climate change, the loss of biodiversity and deforestation are already showing their devastating effects in the great cataclysms we witness.”

Now he is a scientist?

Francis:   “Beauty of nature and the grandeur of the cosmos” is a Christian value, noting that failure to care for the planet risks apocalyptic consequences.”

Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”

Spokesperson for Climate Change at Meeting of U.N.

In 2015, Pope Francis was asked to be a spokesperson for “Climate Change” at the Sustainable Development Goals meeting of the U.N.  He was given a script by the Globalists and gladly spoke of the need for climate change regulations and also the need for wealth distribution (Socialism).

He spoke passionately at what evil men and women have been doing to planet earth – he referred to our planet as “Mother Earth.”

Is this something that one would expect from a pope?   Rhetorical…….

In recent years, Pope Francis has invited Muslim imams into the Vatican to join him in prayer. To call this bizarre is a gross understatement.

It seems that this pope is heading for a new religion – Chrislam.  He has had Rick Warren come to the Vatican to discuss Chrislam.

But I’ll take Chrislam a step further.  I believe that Pope Francis desires a ONE WORLD RELIGION.   What shall we make of that, brethren?  Could he truly be the False Prophet?

It is something to think about.  Perhaps he is a foreshadowing of that evil one.

Or perhaps he IS that evil one.

Pope Attacks Satan: “Satan is Attempting to Scandalize the Bishops by Uncovering Their Sin”

On By Geri UngureanIn Pope Francis15 Comments

I have written many articles on Pope Francis.  But I have to say that this may be the most bizarre piece I will write about this man.

Pope Francis is under scrutiny for not exposing the sexual scandals of many bishops.  Many are calling for him to step down.

Now it is being reported that the pope is blaming Satan for exposing the sins of these men, so as to scandalize them.

Does that even make any sense?  

This pope has from the beginning been a controversial figure; and he has been unlike any pope in the history of the Vatican.  After Pope Benedict stepped down (this had not happened in over 600 years)  Pope Francis was chosen to be his successor.   Francis is also a Marxist/Socialist and a mouth piece for the U.N.’s Climate Change mantra.

Francis was the very first Jesuit priest to become pope.  Throughout history, the Jesuits have been known as the military arm of the Vatican.

From lifesitenews.com

Pope Francis: Satan tries to ‘uncover’ bishops’ sin to ‘scandalize the people’

ROME, September 11, 2018, (LifeSiteNews) – As controversy continues to swirl around  Pope Francis’ silence in the face of serious and far-reaching sexual abuse cover-up allegations, the pontiff said that Satan “tries to uncover” bishops’ sins in order to “scandalize” the faithful.

“In these times, it seems like the ‘Great Accuser’ has been unchained and is attacking bishops,” said Pope Francis in a homily today as reported by Vatican News. “True, we are all sinners, we bishops. He tries to uncover the sins, so they are visible in order to scandalize the people,” he added.

Reaction came quickly to the Pope’s words, with many saying that it sounded like the Pope was suggesting that uncovering the sins of a bishop, such as abuse, was somehow the work of the devil.

“Satan ‘tries to uncover the sins’ of McCarrick, etc. ‘so they are visible in order to scandalize the people,’ says Francis. Bear in mind, this is the exact same reasoning Cardinal Law used to justify protecting pedophile priests” said the Catholic Herald’s U.S. editor, Michael Davis.

“Wow! This is really weird from” the Pope said another Twitter user.  “Is he actually saying that if people criticise bishops and reveal their sins it is the work of the devil? Implication: we all need to shut up. Is that it?

Catholic author and commentator Patrick Coffin tweeted, “‘The Great Accuser tries to uncover the sins, so they are visible in order to scandalize the people.’ — words actually spoken by @Pontifex this morning. Logical conclusion: the sins should stay hidden so the devil can’t cause scandal. Speechless.”

The Pope’s homily was delivered at a Mass in the chapel of his Vatican residence, Santa Marta, attended by about 140 bishops present in Rome for meetings at the Vatican.

Pope Francis in his homily may have been referring to the abuse scandal which has exploded against members of the hierarchy in the U.S. as well as in the Vatican as one report after another of sexual abuse and cover-up has rocked the Church.

First, there were the stories about decades of sexual abuse of adolescent boys and seminarians by disgraced former Cardinal McCarrick.  Then Pennsylvania’s attorney general released a sweeping, 900-page grand jury investigation of 300 clergy accused of sexual abuse. The majority of those cases involved pederasty – the sexual abuse of adolescent males by adult males, most of whom who were priests.

Then former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, released his explosive testimony implicating Pope Francis and several senior prelates in covering up McCarrick’s alleged sexual abuse of seminarians and priests.

In addition to McCarrick, Cardinals Wuerl, Cupich and Tobin have all been tainted by the Viganò testimony, as have Cardinals Sodano, Bertone and Parolin.

The Pope, too, is implicated in the cover-up of McCarrick’s sexual abuse and for having made him a “trusted advisor” after he had been sidelined by his predecessor, Benedict XVI, according to Viganò.

Anger has reached a boiling point among U.S. Catholics, evidenced in letters addressed to the Pope and U.S. Prelates and signed by tens of thousands of concerned women and men.

Nearly ten thousand men have asked Pope Francis and the bishops to “purge the corruption” which is disfiguring the Church.

And the highly influential association of Catholic business leaders, Legatus, has put its annual Vatican tithe of nearly a million dollars “in escrow,” citing the current crisis in the Church.  Legatus was founded in 1987 and has 3,000 current members.

Pope Francis has yet to address Viganò’s allegations. Last week he preached that “silence, prayer” are the best response to “wild dogs” who “don’t have good will.”

Yesterday, Francis’ special advisory group known as the Council of Cardinals expressed its loyalty to the Holy Father in the wake of the allegations, stating it “expressed its full solidarity with Pope Francis with regard to the events of recent weeks, aware that in the current debate the Holy See is about to make the eventual and necessary clarifications.” source

Brethren, the events which are happening all around us should give us pause.  But they should also give us much excitement and joy.  I believe that our Blessed Redeemer must be coming soon!

The Pope Says This Christmas Is a Charade – and That For Some People ‘It May Be Their Last’

On By Geri UngureanIn False Prophet, Pope Francis3 Comments

pope-francis-tells-followers-not-to-convert-lost-sinners-false-prophet-catholic-church-vatican-rick-warren

When I first saw these headlines, I must admit that I was taken aback:

“The Pope Says This Christmas Is A ‘Charade’ And That For Some People ‘It May Be Their Last’”  [1] – source

I wondered why he would call Christmas a ‘charade’ and declare that it may be the last Christmas for some people.  But then everything came into focus, and his words  merely confirmed the narrative this man has been pushing from the very start.

I firmly believe that we are looking at the False Prophet spoken of in God’s Holy Word, when we see this pope.  This man has a political Marxist agenda and he speaks of little else.  Where is the Gospel of Christ in his sermons and commentaries?  Nary a word spoken of the fallen nature of man, and how Jesus Christ came into this world to reconcile sinful man to our Holy God.

No – he speaks of redistribution of wealth, and the evils of capitalism. He speaks of Climate Change and has become the spokesperson for that hoax at the U.N. and everywhere he travels. When he refers to earth, he calls it “Mother Earth.” Can you say NEW AGE?

Pope Francis Misunderstands Why Jesus Came to Earth

When the pope calls Christmas a “Charade” and warns that this Christmas may be the last one for some people – he is missing the entire reason for the birth and ultimate death of Jesus Christ. God cares deeply for the souls of men and women. The Lord Jesus spoke of coming wars and rumors of wars.  That was certainly no surprise to Him.

The Angels Declared:

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14). (Emphasis mine)

Notice that this passage of Scripture does not say “good will between men.” It says good will toward men. Ok, from whom are we receiving good will?  It is from God Himself!  The peace on earth, which is spoken of, comes from God having good will toward men and women – God made the way for us to be reconciled to Himself through His Son Jesus Christ!

Pope Francis has no understanding of this Scripture, nor does he understand anything about the Gospel.  He is looking at this world from a carnal perspective. He sees wars raging and he shows anger because men have not made peace with one another.  He misses this most important Biblical truth – there will be NO peace on this earth without having peace with God.

I need to say that again:

We should not expect peace on the earth until men and women are at peace with God. The ONLY way to have peace with God is through His Son Jesus Christ. Only then are we born again – become a new creation – and are able to see with new eyes and truly love and forgive others.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

If More Catholics Would Only Read Their Bibles

Catholicism is at its heart a works based religion. Since we know that we cannot work our way to heaven, then Catholicism is a cult. I am sorry if I anger anyone with these words. I would rather that you be angry at me, and then in a while come to the truth of the Word; than to tickle your ears with words of encouragement so that you are not challenged to read God’s Word for yourself. I must tell the truth.

Come Away From Them!

Stop worshiping the pope and Mary and the Catholic Catechism!  There is only ONE to worship and He is Jesus Christ. Mary is not a co-redeemer as Catholics have been taught.  Would a co-redeemer say these words?

“And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour”  (Luke 1: 46-47). (Emphasis mine)

If Mary had been equal with Jesus, she certainly would not call God “My Saviour.”

Many of us are continually shocked by the utterances of Pope Francis.  Because I believe that he is the False Prophet, I am less and less shocked.

I pray that many Catholics who are questioning the words and deeds of the pope, will read this article. I pray that the Holy Spirit will impart truth to them, and as the Word says – the Truth shall set them free.

MARANATHA

 

POPE FRANCIS IS TO THE VATICAN, WHAT OBAMA IS TO THE U.S.

On By Geri UngureanIn False Prophet, Pope Francis4 Comments

francis-hell

I remember in 2008, when Obama was declared the President of the United States. I could hardly breathe. I sat in silence for hours; not wanting to believe it was true.

I had warned so many people about him. Having done extensive research on the man, with the little that we did know of his past, I was determined to tell as many people as I could that this man was dangerous for our country.

We knew of his ultra liberal voting record as a U.S. Senator. He was deemed left of Ted Kennedy! We knew that he had close ties with Planned Parenthood. We also knew of his association with people like Bill Ayers and his Marxist pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who spewed his hateful Black Liberation Theology to his congregation every Sunday. Those of us who have discernment knew that Barack Hussein Obama was going to be a curse on our country.

I kept turning it over in my mind — how could this happen? What was wrong with the people? And since that fateful night in November of 2008, he has turned this country into something that is foreign to us. It’s not the America we knew as we grew up. He said that he would fundamentally transform the U.S. and that is exactly what he has done.

POPE FRANCIS

When Pope Benedict suddenly stepped down from the papacy, I had a feeling that something was amiss at the Vatican. Actually, things are always amiss at the Vatican, but this was different. It was like things were out of control; or perhaps someone else was in control. It took less than two days for the conclave to usher in their new pope.

We found out that Pope Francis was the first Jesuit to ever be a pope — the very first! As I researched this more, I realized that the Jesuits were always considered the military arm of the Vatican. Even Catholic priests were shocked when Francis was placed in his position. I began to do more research on the Jesuits. What I was seeing was more than a bit alarming. Assassinations, political plots, helping Hitler to power in Germany; the list goes on and it reads like a terrifying novel. I had no idea that the Jesuits were like this. They sounded more like the mafia than part of the Vatican.

CONSERVATIVE DISSENT IS BREWING INSIDE THE VATICAN

I read an article today from the Washington Post (not usually my choice for news) but I found the piece to be intriguing. Here is an excerpt:

VATICAN CITY — On a sunny morning earlier this year, a camera crew entered a well-appointed apartment just outside the 9th-century gates of Vatican City. Pristinely dressed in the black robes and scarlet sash of the princes of the Roman Catholic Church, Wisconsin-born Cardinal Raymond Burke sat in his elaborately upholstered armchair and appeared to issue a warning to Pope Francis.

A staunch conservative and Vatican bureaucrat, Burke had been demoted by the pope a few months earlier, but it did not take the fight out of him. Francis had been backing a more inclusive era, giving space to progressive voices on divorced Catholics as well as gays and lesbians. In front of the camera, Burke said he would “resist” liberal changes — and seemed to caution Francis about the limits of his authority. “One must be very attentive regarding the power of the pope,” Burke told the French news crew. [1]

Didn’t the college of Cardinals which made up the papal conclave do their research on this man before voting? If they had, they would have found that the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, had a past that was certainly not typical of a leader in the Catholic church.

It seems feasible that the Jesuit community may have been instrumental in placing their man on the papal throne.
Cardinal Raymond Burke went on in the Post article:

Papal power, Burke warned, “is not absolute.” He added, “The pope does not have the power to change teaching [or] doctrine.”
Burke’s words belied a growing sense of alarm among strict conservatives, exposing what is fast emerging as a culture war over Francis’s papacy and the powerful hierarchy that governs the Roman Catholic Church. [1]

In a prior article about Pope Francis, I wrote:

“I have done much research on this pope. I found that when he was Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, he had close friends who were Wiccans and pagans. He even allowed some Unitarian Universalist acquaintances to hold services in his Cathedral in Buenos  Aires, Argentina.  I read that Wiccans, pagans and New Agers in general, were intrigued by the man, and many truly loved him.”

The name of that article was “Pope Francis – False Prophet.” [2]

Pope Francis prepares for his trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with Obama and then to address a joint session of Congress. This has never happened in the history of our country. Francis then goes to NY to be the keynote speaker for the Climate Change conference at the U.N. It seems that Pope Francis fashions himself a politician now. Well, that would make sense since we never hear anything from him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

This Pope’s liberal leanings are not just causing dissension within the Vatican. It seems that Catholic priests worldwide are either speaking against his unconventional teachings, or his allies are using this to push the envelope and see just how far they can go with issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion.

The Post article continues:

“Yet as he upends church convention, Francis also is grappling with a conservative backlash to the liberal momentum building inside the church. In more than a dozen interviews, including with seven senior church officials, insiders say the change has left the hierarchy more polarized over the direction of the church than at any point since the great papal reformers of the 1960s.

The conservative rebellion is taking on many guises — in public comments, yes, but also in the rising popularity of conservative Catholic Web sites promoting Francis dissenters; books and promotional materials backed by conservative clerics seeking to counter the liberal trend; and leaks to the news media, aimed at Vatican reformers.
In his recent comments, Burke was also merely stating fact. Despite the vast powers of the pope, church doctrine serves as a kind of constitution. And for liberal reformers, the bruising theological pushback by conservatives is complicating efforts to translate the pope’s transformative style into tangible changes.

“At least we aren’t poisoning each other’s chalices anymore,” said the Rev. Timothy Radcliffe, a liberal British priest and Francis ally appointed to an influential Vatican post in May. Radcliffe said he welcomed open debate, even critical dissent within the church. But he professed himself as being “afraid” of “some of what we’re seeing”

Rather than stake out clear stances, the pope is more subtly, often implicitly, backing liberal church leaders who are pressing for radical change, while dramatically opening the parameters of the debate over how far reforms can go. For instance, during the opening of a meeting of senior bishops last year, Francis told those gathered, “Let no one say, ‘This you cannot say.’ ” [1]

In my article, “Pope Francis – False Prophet,” I made the case that this man could very well be the one spoken of in the Word of God as the False Prophet.

Brethren, I feel strongly that everything happening with this Pope is Satanically influenced.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed” (Revelation 13:11-12).

The Word says that he had two horns like a lamb. This brings to mind gentleness. Have you noticed that Pope Francis has a gentle demeanor? He looks like someone that you would invite into your home. But the Word also says he speaks as a dragon. This means that he speaks as a serpent – he lies and deceives and confuses.

I believe that these new events just confirm what many are thinking. Some are even asking if this man could be the Antichrist. We are seeing God’s prophetic Word playing out before our eyes.

Share this with unbelieving friends and families. Let them see for themselves that God’s Word is in the news every day! Then share the Gospel with them. Show them that they can know that they will be in heaven when they die. Time is so short.

MARANATHA!
