When one combines all these events and incidents and takes into consideration the type of disreputables, many from his native Argentina (to which he has never returned since obtaining the papacy), that he has surrounded himself with in the Vatican, it is difficult to avoid all sorts of appalling suspicions from entering one's mind. Is this not the very essence of scandal?
And, as Ann Barnhardt astutely reminds us in her most recent post, Touchy Fernandez has been PF's ghostwriter for most, if not all, of his papacy. The former has been writing the 'magisterial' documents that PF has been putting his papal name to. Magisterium from the pen of a porn-writer is what we have been getting. The 'Fifty Shades' magisterium. Can it get much worse than that?
I think we are exactly at this point in time in God’s end times chronology. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.” Revelation 22:12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:12
This verse is contained in a John Cash song (When the Man Comes Around) which is one of my favourite all time tracks and still makes my hair stand!!
One of my all time favorites. Chilling. That deep baritone voice is so effective. The lyrics fit the above scripture perfectly.
I think anyone who covers up evil is themselves evil because they become complicit in it . I can't get my head around people who say that they hide evil for, The good of the Church'. In fact it is the exact opposite But it happens all the time
Its true really. I always am a little suspicious of secrets. Although it is true sometimes they are necessary, like the Third Secret of Fatima.
Agree. There are secrets, and there is prudent discretion. Imho, in these days, that distinction has been lost. And that has led to a general distrust among people in general. The so called "listening crowd" these days do not listen to understand, they listen so they can provide what has been deemed to be the "correct reply". In a "politically correct" "woke" world, the truth (along with Truth) is lost. If it was prudent discretion that led to the suppression of the Third Secret of Fatima, so be it. Only God knows the answer to that now. I won't even get into what was finally released. But the trust factor nosedived after that. Our Lady, however, did not give up. And neither should we. I myself pray for a swift return of Charity in Truth, and the healing that goes along with it. This world is in dire need of it.
One of the best, most concise assessments of this disastrous pontificate I’ve read. Excerpt: We know what kind of pope we have: a progressive focused almost exclusively on earthly matters, surrounded by deeply corrupt yes-men, and in league with the globalist elites of this world. Throw in an irrational animosity toward Catholic tradition, and you have Pope Francis.
You should Google recent pictures of Papa Frankie. He looks very, very unwell indeed. Swollen up like a big balloon. He hasn't long to go now. Holding my breath as towho will be chosen as Pope.
After the death of Benedict XVI, Pope Francis adopted Pilate's motto: "What I have written, I have written."
