There is no middle ground between good and evil. So we cannot say, 'He kisses babies and smiles'', so that balances out other wickedness. I think people want to believe, after Papa Frankie., so much that they have won the lottery ticket, that things are finally alright in the Church that they'd do and think pretty much anything to convince themselves that it is actually so and that have indeed the winning lottery ticket in their hands. Same thing with President of Peace Trump after Rosary beads Joe and drunken half mad Kamala.
Pope Leo the wonderful, look how lovely he looks, he is an American, he has a nice smile, he looks cool, how holy he seems, he even kisses babies, he wears nice clothes, everything's fine now, back to normal? ( why is Raymond Arroyo and the Papal Posse not broadcasting anymore on EWTN ? Has he and them been suppressed as Padre Pio was , by Satan)
I warned you about Papa |Leo right from the start. He is a hundred times worse and more dangerous than Papa Frankie ever was. Why? because a face job has been done to make him like like the real deal. As soon as I did so many of you went into convulsions of rage about it. Well I don't mind saying...
A thousand times worse and more dangerous than Papa Frankie. Raymond Arroyo even looks sick. He knows what we are up against. It looks like even his own EWTN have sold himself and Mother Angelica out.
I think most people are confused because, at first, you seemed—at least it seemed—you were enthusiastic about him. I understand that you had some kind of revelation about a heretical pope; however, I would like to know why this revelation would apply to Leo and not to his predecessor. Did you see some of his appointments and conclude it was him, or did you have a further revelation? I'm asking this sincerely because it's an honest question, and I believe many others are wondering the same thing.
I think in all fairness that you could well be correct padraig but then again... Aside from this, myself and several prominent members of the forum have been seeking a straight answer regarding certain statements of you regarding Leo. None have been forthcoming. Ignored in fact. It is not fair to say "i told you so". You criticised Weston for his initial criticism of the Pope and cautioned patience and prayerful discernment. This was almost immediately abandoned and you declared Leo de facto the devil incarnate. You have given no one as far as I am aware any insight into this sudden and abrupt uturn. As Brain K pointed out we are all old enough to remember that at one stage you outlawed any criticism of Francis only to allow open season a while later. I think if you are going to say "I told you so" state your case and give some support to your position. I say this in all Charity and in hope for the future of the forum.
I saw something too, right after he was elected. I was shocked and horrified. I won't say what it was, but I was horrified. So with you I am watching and praying. As Our Lady tells us-pray, pray pray. The world and the church are in for horrific times.
Don't shoot the messenger. If you don't like the forum, leave it. I don't care how uncomfortable the truth makes you feel.
Well I never even hinted at not liking the forum just simply made the point that the direct and simple questions asked have not received a reply. I don't think it is out of order to ask for a simple explanation on such a serious matter.
It is also I think important to keep in mind that the popes of this past 50 years have all made disastrous eclessial appointments.
It's not about justifying it's about helping people understand a radical turnabout without context or apparent reason. It is your publicly stated position. I do not know where you stand as the head of a Catholic forum. I am notnsure if you are or are not a sedevacantist. I am not alone on this and will also say "do not shoot the messenger".
Pilate was under considerable political pressure when he sentenced Jesus. He did all he could to save him. How was Pilate to know who Jesus was? If he did not sentence Jesus to death the Jews would have appealed to Rome and Pilate and his entire family might have died. Any other Roman Governor would have done the same thing. And on and on and on and on.
So its about me. Let me ask you a question in return. Papa Leo appoints as his first Bishop someone who supports same sex blessings. Who has said he wants women deacons. Who pushed a sculpture of a naked couple in his Cathedral. Who has publically said he supports in full Papa Frankie's agenda. Who is fully behind the abomination of synodality. Be honest. Does this not cause you to ask questions? How is this suddenly about me? Be honest does none of this cause you to ask questions? I am not saying I support same sex marriage. I am not saying I want women Deacons. I have not put a sculpture of a naked couple in my Cathedral . I have not supported the abomination of synodality. Nor have I appointed as my very first Bishop someone who does these things and as one of the major archbishops in the world . Papa Leo did. Yet you attack me for calling this out? Why? Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. I repeat , don't shoot the messenger. I went through this exact same nonsense of personal attacks with Papa Frankie. Now again with Papa Leo.
Honestly not an attack on you . JPII kissed a Koran. It does not get much lower. This is about helping understand why one moment we were giving the pope a chance and the next he is persona non grata. You would not hesitate to boot someone off for positions like that in the past. This is not like the cardinals sending Francis the Dubia. We are just rightfully asking for some explanation. If you do not want to give one then that is fine I will not ask again. Like I said I just found it unfair for you to post "I told you so" to forum members who are hoping for a holy Pope to guide the Church in these days.
Again you do not respond to my question. Papa Leo appointed as his first Bishop. As archbishop of one of the Major Catholic sees in the world , as Spiritual Leader of some 700,000 Catholics someone who wants women Deacons. Who supports same sex blessings. Who has said he is fully behind Papa Frankie's agenda. Does none of this make you the least bit uneasy? If you don't want to answer. Fine . Forget about it. We'll move on. I'll not ask again. I can see why I told you so makes you uncomfortable. But I told you so. I think you will find I'll be telling you I told you so quite a few more times in the future.
I can answer no problem. It is of course a huge problem and absolutely not a happy indication of things to come. I think the days of Popes being in relative obscurity and making appointments based on advice given is not plausible in today's world. And certainly not when we have an American English speaking pope. I have no problem stating this. This appointment has just come to my attention as I have been largely ignoring media these days
'It is of course a huge problem' Of course it is. Thank God. At last. No need to thank me for warning you right from the very start. . Bye.
