Just passing this along. It's an old post from 2016 from a forum member named Fatima. I think some people might find it relevant to our discussion in this thread. Aug 19, 2016 Please don't "kill" the messenger.
He certainly is not a theologian - but a master of obfuscation - Whether this is deliberate or not God only knows.
Apart from a couple of soundbites on the abortion issue, he rarely makes a mistake in the direction of orthodoxy, which does not seem to suggest randomness.
How will the pope respond to this? https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...publish-ceremony-for-blessing-same-sex-unions Bishops in Belgium defy Vatican, publish ceremony for blessing same-sex unions reportedNederlands Dagblad. In open defiance of the Vatican, Catholic bishops in Belgium on Tuesday announced the introduction of blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples in their dioceses. The bishops of Flanders also published a liturgy for the celebration of homosexual unions. “In doing so, they are going directly against the Vatican,” reported Nederlands Dagblad. The Vatican published an official clarification in March 2021 that the Catholic Church does not have the power to give liturgical blessings of homosexual unions. Read the rest at the link
I'm coming in a little late here, but I don't think you should separate, "'I am absolutely on the side of the pope, and the institution of the Papacy...' I would see the above as a declaration of the supremacy of the Office, not necessarily as agreement with the the occupier of the office. I must also admit how pleased I was to hear Mueller stand up for Cardinal Zen. Pope Francis, repent for your abandonment of Cardinal Zen!
To say, 'I support the Office of the Papacy', is not the same thing as saying, 'I support a particular Arch Heretic'. It reminds me of the German Chancellor Adolph Hitler during the course of the Second World War. As German Leader he might have had some moral authority at the start of his reign (especially as people did not know him as he really was). But as time went on it became clear enough he was an evil monster. It became clear that the German people owed him no support. However the Role or position of German Chancellor itself could remain unaffected. One could support the position of Chancellor but not Hitler himself. However Bergolio is a falling star.. Now he has entered into one formal heresy he will enter into many others. Watch and see. Good can not be yoked with evil as St Paul informs us. The position will become increasingly clear as time rolls onwards... But in conscience from hence onwards I will refer to the Arch Heretic, the Monster who happens to live in a Luxury Hotel in the Vatican as , 'Bergolio'.
As I said on the other thread, When the pope’s actions and words go against both orthodoxy and orthopraxis it is both our right AND our duty to point it out, if only for the edification of our brethren and to protect them from being lead into perdition. The idea this pope is beyond rational and prudent criticism by anyone except the hierarchy is preposterous. It is an error.
I think we will see events in Church move very swiftly from this point onwards. You can feel it in the air. 'There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.' Shakespeare
Brian, I am not sure if this lines up with what Desmond Birch says. Desmond appeared in a video within the last six months on Fr Heilman’s show. He said the Great Apostasy wasn’t happening now. It would happen before the final conflict before Christ’s Final Judgment. That would be the time of the Antichrist (just prior to that.) This article about Tyconius seems to me to be on the wrong timeline for what is happening now. Imho completely wrong. I also think the authorship of the article is hidden. Why? A Marian Soul? In another place I saw authorship by “a scholar”. Imho the timeline is off, but I am open to clarification.
Some here are familiar with Jennifer’s messages. I believe she’s a true visionary and her messages are credible. Others will disagree which of course is fine. Her latest message is intriguing to say the least: Message from Jesus 9/17/2022 2:24PM My child, Many ask you where are My words, why is your Savior silent? My child, I am where I have always remained—sitting in the silence of the tabernacle. Awaiting souls in Adoration and yet who comes? I ask My Children, are you seeking your Savior? Are you chasing a world that is being inundated with evil? The tide has turned and My Children need to heed the warnings that are all around them. Satan is seeking to gain as many souls as possible through the means of fear. He has unleashed his companions upon every corner of the earth in order to cause chaos and confusion. He has inundated the walls of My Church and he will take with him those who have complied to his wickedness. My Children do not be afraid, for as I told Peter, the gates of hell will never prevail against My Church. It is the only place in which heaven and earth unite because I Am present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Those within My Church who have allowed evil to enter in their hearts and have guided many souls down the wrong path, will come to see the errors in their ways. I come to tell you that great change is beginning to unfold, and where it begins is in My Church, it will funnel throughout the world. Look to the roots of My Church, My Children, because when this false prophet begins to change the prayers of the Mass, the teachings of the magisterium, know this is not of Me for I Am Jesus. Just as the thunder follows the lightning, there is order in which humanity was created. As the passing of the true pope is shadowed by this false prophet, the changes will come like boxcars and so will the confusion. Pray the Rosary and seek discernment in all things because your true home is in heaven. Now go forth for I am Jesus, and be at peace, for My Mercy and Justice will prevail. Note from Webmaster: Before I get inundated with emails about if I think one of the Popes is the false prophet, let me simply answer with "No, I don't believe so." I could be wrong, but my opinion is that quickly after the passing of our current pope, this 'false prophet' will work to push for these changes. The only nagging question though is the use of the words "this false prophet" which sounds as if this person is currently on the world scene already. Just my 2-cents. https://afterthewarning.com/message.../september/20/when-this-false-prophet-begins/
Thank you so much for this. I believe it to be authentic. it is very consoling...and a Warning. I think something else is about to happen. I think we are about to see very Great Signs Manifesting, both in the skies and on Earth. Especially Marian ones...wait and see...

Here is a detailed and reasoned response to the 'garment of faith' statement by the Pope - it is detailed and not for the faint hearted & it is spiritual meat (not milk). Lamont Responds to Fastiggi (et al.): Pope Francis’s “wedding garment of faith” is not “formed faith” https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2022/09/lamont-responds-to-fastiggi-et-al-pope.html
