Featured I am liking Pope Francis

The RCC believes he is preaching the gospel. All of the "fathers" that speak on the news outlets all say the pope's #1 job is to preach the gospel and that is "God loves you and you should love one another".

They are all clueless......blind leading the blind straight into hell.

 

Ah yes, the lesser of two sinners response.

 

Yes, that's the social gospel. That's what the Catholic church has become.

Unfortunately true.

 

Pray for all those that are lost--all those whom God has chosen were once lost.

The Apostle Paul said that if he or anyone even an angel from heaven preaches any other Gospel, let them be: Anathema, aka, accursed. Papacy is another gospel. The whole system is corrupt from the beginning-- circa Council of Nicea. Peter is not the Rock of the Church--Jesus is The Rock. The whole system is a masterpiece of satan.

Will Francis go emeritus too? Let the canon lawyers dig into this new dilemma.

Then there are those who say all popes since Vatican II are really anti-popes. No wonder it takes so long to get canonized or is it beatified?

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

I absolutely love and admire Pope Francis. Honestly, I am not that religious who follows every norm and tradition of the Roman Catholic church, but I am highly spiritual and I do have a personal relationship with God. I have also never been a fan of popes because I think most of them were hypocrites, but Pope Francis made me like him as a person. He is genuinely sincere and he has compassion towards people.

 

Bergoglio is a product of progressive Jesuit education and south American liberation theology. He was almost elected at the conclave which elected Ratzinger. Bergoglio was seen by the progressives within the Catholic Church as a means to further the humanist agenda started by Vatican Council II. The rot permeates all of Rome, and the putrefaction is spreading. There are conservative Bishops making noise about all of this, but since this current age seems to be controlled by the progressives, it will be interesting to watch this play out.
Please pray for the catholics, that they will awaken to the truth of the gospel.

 

I'm curious what you mean by "highly spiritual"? I gave this some thought, and asked of myself if I would consider myself highly spiritual. I guess I would have to have a definition of highly spiritual. lol. Anyways, just wondering. And what would you define a personal relationship with God is? Different folks have different definitions of this. A devout Jew would claim a personal relationship with God, yet having not been born of God through receiving the Spirit of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, they in reality do not, they are deceived.

 

Then sadly you are incredibly deceived. He is not even humble, as he accepts the praises of people. He lets people worship him, that's not humble. He's a heretic / false teacher. He's a mass deceiver. And last but not least, he said Christ's life ended in failure.

 

Pope Francis is the breath of fresh air the Catholic Church needed. His actions show him to be genuine. Many with a conservative bent of mind accuse him of betraying their cause. The honest fact is that he has betrayed no one. He continues to hold on to every one of the teachings of the Catholic Church. He speaks out on an issue only when he has to. He is a champion.

 

Obviously there are many rotten pastors of all stripes, since no denomination is protected from the occasional wolf. Bergoglio is leading a progressive, modernist shift within the catholic church. The errors of Catholicism not withstanding, he will do to the catholic church what has already been accomplished in several denominations. The rejection of biblical principles for worldly acceptance. Sad.
As to Christian character, i believe we are to call out error, or am i mistaken?

Pray for all Christians to remain faithful to the Gospel.

 

Just what would be the "breath of fresh air" you see that the popes before him did not have or preach?

 

Brothers and Sisters lest we forget!

6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
