We are lucky we have Fr James Martin to set Scripture straight. I may dump my family bible and open a Twitter Account so Fr Martin can keep me on the staright and narrow. Perhaps we should read his press statements at mass rather than waste time with old hat bible readings. The sheer breath taking arrogance is stunning. But then again he has the Holy Father as his Patron. He can say what he likes. Hey..who am I to judge?
Unfortunately, dolts can be very dangerous. They are generally the battering ram of all revolutions. Most agents of the Bolsheviks were ignorant dolts. The only skill they had to learn was to shoot people in the back of the neck, but it was enough. The Vatican dolts have been given authority from on high and have nearly complete control of the material communications system of the Church. They can do tremendous, demonic damage, particularly to those who are not availing of the spiritual communications system of the Church; Mass and prayers, particularly the Rosary.
That's a bit uncharitable. I have it on good authority (Eccles, the great Catholic humourist and source of much joy) that Archbishop Martin is recovering from major surgery...apparently he has had his spine removed. [Update : the surgeon involved has (joyfully) announced that the Archbishop will recover quickly-the spine turned out to be much smaller than previously thought]. Next thing, they'll be using the authority of Pachamama to denounce the bitter, intolerant action of Our Lord when He whipped the moneychangers out of the Temple. Such a nasty and bitter Man. His message only spread right around the world. How much better He would have done if He'd sallied up to them, clapped them on the back and had a big laugh with them. He might have even avoided that nasty incident on Good Friday. Then everybody would have lived happily ever after, wouldn't they. Ha Ha. Such joy.
I feel so sorry for honest people living in the Vatican, people like the Swiss Guards and the Gardeners. Honest good hard working Catholics. There having to live right along side people who are basically clerical gangsters, with their heresy, their sexual perversions, their drugs parties, their massive corruption and to know these are the people who are running the Church. It must be like living with the Addams Family or entering an episode of the Sopranos.
That looks a bit like Pope Francis at the back, facing the mirror. Maybe that's Kasper in the cap and glasses. Not to mention the couple of Pachamamamias in the middle. Now, we're having fun aren't we, isn't this being joyful?
Allegations against a dead man, a half century after the alleged incidents and there could be money to be got. Must be the absolute irrefutible truth. Nothing could go wrong.
Very similar to the political snafu occurring in the US. The Dems keep trying to "out" Trump ( with fabricated lies) and when they do they shoot themselves in the foot and the finger points right back at them. Uncanny . It's like a power bigger than them is outing them....LOL They might not be dolts. They might be doing everything smart and sneaky and trying to lie their way into a contrived outcome only to have the light shine , the sunshine, right on their deeds and the truth comes out. We know who the light is. Please Lord, let Your light shine on the whole world. Out this whole corrupt, sick, perverse system we have allowed to come in. Praying for Dr. Marshall and his family.
I literally laughed out loud at this statement. I'm not for bashing on Mark, who I have said many times seems a very good and humble man trying to make sense of this all, but the above sentence just about perfectly sums up in a humorous way what reading Mark's articles is like for me.
Padraig's quip is the kind that should come with a health warning-you could break a few ribs! I wouldn't be too hard on Mark. We've all had to pass this stage of having to accept the unthinkable. He's slowly getting there, but his delay is only down to his own loyalty.
No . At one time I would be more understanding. But it's pretty late in the day to still come out with this stuff. ~'It's not as bad as it looks' No he should''t be coning out with this stuff at this stage of the game...it's really, really bad. It amounts to misdirection and False Prophesy. Not only is he the dog that never barked, he's starting to look like the dog that doesn't know quite how to bark. In fact in my opinon he's backing the Smart Money..the Smart Money being Pope Francis. Yes he's coming off the fence , but on the wrong side of it. Read what he's actually saying.
I've never read him much, to be honest. If what you're saying is that he's merely biding his time to be on the side that's 'winning', I've been too kind to him. I hope you're wrong and I'm right, for his sake!
What´s the point of digging out the current pope´s orthodox remarks, which, by the way, the general public never reads? The purpose of these remarks is clearly to deceive, misguide, cover up, while the real agenda is being implemented. Anyone who doesn´t see this is out to lunch. He clearly cannot be a guide or inspiration to others. But everybody sees the idols in Rome. Everybody sees the present pope praising Italy´s most famous abortionist. Everybody sees his full support for Father James Martin. Everybody sees his unashamed support for the most liberal, most socialist, most pro-abortion public figures on the planet. Everybody sees he persecutes the orthodox and only promotes and surrounds himself with the worst kind of people. Actions speak louder than words. Personnel is policy. The general public´s perception is that homosexuality is now ok, abortion is now ok, worshipping idols is now ok, hell doesn´t exist, every soul is saved because God is merciful, Marxism is the way to go - that´s what counts. “The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!” ― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
I'm kind off interiorly moving on from Pope Francis at the moment. I believe, prayerfully God will call him home shortly to face the Judgement Seat. My eyes turn with great interest to our next Pope. May God grant us a Great and Holy one!! May God Bless and preserve our new Pope! My own prayerful understanding is that Pope Francis will be gone before the leaves fall again. You can quote me on that. ( In fact I wish folks would; it's a very precise Prophesy)
So you can see why I don't care about issues surrounding Pope Francis anymore. He's a done deal. Gone. My eyes turn interiorly to our next Holy Father. May God Bless him.
