Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
There is probably no pope in history who has been so disliked than the current Pope Francis. He is clearly a communist and full on board with the Great Reset. This Pope is a real disgrace. He is preaching economics rather than the faith and is agreeing with Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab on everything from inequality to vaccinations.
As even Forbes pointed out, this Pope came out with a “lengthy statement (entitled Evangelii Gaudium) in which one section called income inequality an injustice.” There is an uprising even brewing within the Catholic Church because this Pope is really preaching communism. “In an unprecedented move, faithful Catholics are calling for resistance against “the policies pursued by Pope Francis that threaten the West’s integrity, security and cultural identities.”
Many are point to a prophecy by an Irish saint of how many popes there would be. The prophecies of the Irish Saint Malachy, the 12th-century bishop of Armagh, have thrilled and dismayed readers for centuries. He has stated there would be only one more pope after Benedict, and during his reign comes the end of the world. So Francis could be the last. It certainly seems that this Pope is doing everything against the basic faith.

Oddly when one reads the predictions of St Malachy he stopped with Benedict…

This pope is the first I’ve seen that is openly non-Christian. Not even discussing his marxist and homosexual leanings, the man’s beliefs are in complete contradiction to the very basis of Christian doctrine.
If everyone gets to heaven, even evil men, atheists, murderers and the unrepentant, then what was the purpose of God’s grace in sending Jesus Christ as atonement for the sins of man?
As the title of Mr. Armstrong’s piece suggests, Bergoglio is not now, and has never been, Pope. He’s just another sin-friendly, formerly Catholic, clerical functionary from Latin America.
Increasingly, many Catholics realize that anything Bergoglio says or does is irrelevant to the Christian faith. FWIW I am a former Roman Catholic.
For those interested, Anne Barnhardt has been covering this topic well for years: https://www.barnhardt.biz/
My understanding is, the purpose was to give all mankind a path to salvation assuming they exercise they’re own free will to repent.
When you study the roots of Catholicism it should not surprise at all. All what Francis did is finally laying the cards on the table.
If you still struggle to grasp the facts, you may listen to some lessons from Walter Veith from his famous series “Total Onslaught”. He explains the Catholic agenda very detailed based on lots of quotes from the papacy itself.
The reformation was done halfheartedly and is now crumbling completely.
The Vatican is the spiritual head of globalism. As the “vicar” of Christ. He is a form of antichrist.
Since the reformation never pulled through and is actually reverting now, Christianity is bankrupt.
FWIW many Catholics pray for the soul of Bergoglio himself, since as things now stand he appears to be solidly among the Hell-bound.
i still don’t believe for a second the previous pope stepped down/retired or whatever you want to call it. he was REPLACED with this asswipe to push the globalist marxist agenda.
The Roman Church has always been vaguely socialist.
IMHO Bergoglio was installed, contrary to several quite specific church laws (‘canons’), chiefly to speed up the destruction of the nuclear family. As many Catholics will admit, the hierarchy of the Roman church is HEAVILY homosexual, and has been for a long time.
While there are some decent RC clergy, the Vatican itself is as gay as a San Francisco bath-house.
The papacy survived the Borgias. I think it will muddle through the Francis pontificate.
His popularity isn’t what makes him less “Pope-like”. It’s his South American communist philosophy on everything that is doing in his position.
For a great read about The Holy See, see “In God’s Name” by David Yallop. It is rather old – 1984 – yet still so relevant today. It concerns the demise of Pope John Paul I.
When last visiting the Vatican, Auntie asked about when the garage sale was going to be. The monsignor was Not amused.
Jesus gave away free food.
Jesus gave away free medical care.
Jesus, quite frankly, had a low opinion of rich folk.
Jesus has rich folk, like Lazarus, burning in hell.
Jesus didn’t believe in owning property … or much of anything else.
Jesus hung out with prostitutes, adulterers, and other LGBTQ types.
======================
Think critically. Open your eyes. If this Pope is a commie, he’s only following the First Commie. Think!!
GCP can verify all this. Maybe.
“Thou shalt not steal” suggests property rights. “The poor will always be with you” suggests there will be rich and poor. Love God and Love your neighbor as yourself are all we need.
Communism, where the state is the god, lacks love, among other things. ~150 million murdered can’t be wrong… Come Lord Jesus.
Jesus telling the rich young ruler to sell EVERYTHING he owns in order to gain entrance into the kingdom suggests otherwise.
I can’t even begin to tell you what is wrong with your rebuttal. The love of mammon (Money) is why they can’t enter the Kingdom. In the words of a songwriter, “Love is like a magic penny, spend it lend it and you’ll have so many they’ll roll all over the floor.”
Claiming Jesus is referring to us becoming communist ignores the fact that they needed to pool resources to spread the concept of love in the ancient world (which was largely loveless). The Apostles and early Disciples convinced the rich as well as the poor to embrace God. If money was too much to give up, it was more challenging, but not impossible.
Read 2nd Thessalonians 3:10 “He who shall not work shall not eat”. You will instantly interpret this as a sign of cruelty, however, the translation is that those unwilling to work, but are able, should not eat. History repeats itself if you study early American history, such as the Mayflower Compact, William Bradford, Thanksgiving, et. al.
If you love money and worship it, good luck. If you give everything away and are a pauper, good luck. If you earn a fortune and give a sustainable part (A Vast Sum) away charitably, such as Carnegie, you are not worshipping money, you are raising everyone. (I spared you the ‘rising tide lifts all boats’ reference. It is basic economics.) I hope this helps.
P.S. I don’t check in on these dialogues often, so I hope you appreciate my perspective.
First, I want to start with this;
That’s a shame. You ought to check in more often. You’re a good writer, and respectful. I might learn a thing or two from you. Yes, I do appreciate your perspective.

Reading my stuff can be a wearisome exercise at times. I realize that. Am I using sarcasm to make a point, or humor, or playing devils advocate, or just stirring the pot? Who has the time to decipher?!
In the post where I accuse Jesus of being the First Commie (9 thumbs down, woohoo!), I was playing Devils Advocate.
You see, the Pope isn’t a Commie (which he is) because he likes Marx, Trotsky, et al, …. it’s because he truly believes Jesus’ teachings are best realized under a socialist / communist setting.
There are 65,000 books in US libraries with “Jesus” in the title. (I just looked it up.) For example, on my bookshelf I have a book, “God is Red”. Books are dedicated to proving Jesus was a communist …. or, anything else whatsoever. It is not hyperbole to say that people use Scripture to prove that Jesus can be molded to be anything they want him to be.
========
So, do I think Jesus was a Commie? Nope.
Regarding Jesus and his politics, here is what I believe. Jesus was apolitical. My reason / proof is this; Romans and Samaritans.
The average lay person simply does not grasp the deep visceral hatred the Jews had for both Romans and Samaritans. So great was their hatred for the Romans, that their ill-fated uprisings led to their total destruction around 66AD.
If Jesus was political, SURELY he would have had at least a few things to say about the Roman occupation. Yet, aside from the crucifixion, the Romans are barely mentioned in the Gospels. And the Samaritans? Jesus viewed them in a positive light!
So much for Jesus being political!
But, alas, that won’t stop people from saying, “Jesus would vote Republican.”! Or, Democrat. This is utter nonsense.
I hope you appreciate my perspective.
From 300AD until now, the many nations who consider themselves Christian have killed more than that.
Maybe that’s why Lord Jesus hasn’t come back.
Comparing 1,700 years to 70 years. Only a God hating communist would make such a stupid comparison. God help you.
Ahhh! Soooo, killing 150 million over 1,700 years ain’t so bad?
God help YOU, ya murdering Christian fuck.
I’d be a little surprised if devout Christians went against their faith to kill that many over time. Study the Crusades as a defensive action, not what you’ve been taught.
Kings and rulers of petty fiefdoms perhaps, but mass starvations, piles of skulls, etc. are the work of communist/socialist evil. Any true Christian would love, initiate hospitals, orphanages, Oxford/Cambridge/Harvard and so on. Only a Deceiver (presumably your master) would deceive.
He knows that Dan.
He’s a petty Christ hating Jew who hates everything that’s wholesome.
Thanks. Even the Inquisition was tempered by the Church from the largely secular government, as well as the exploration of South America by the secular Conquistadors. Some people can live one thousand years without understanding. A casual examination from several historical sources will describe this, even to the most obstinate reader; as long as their mind is open to consideration.
The Jews are our brothers and Christian forbearers (e.g. Jesus Christ). Another casual examination, of the Torah and other Scripture, suggests the coming of Christ is predicted throughout. His life, place, and times were perfectly planned and executed 🙁 :). [See what I did there.] I personally know and respect many Jews, but many have been deceived or secularized.
The Crusades? No, it’s the Church’s 1,000 year long war against White, European Pagans.
Did the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, NASDA, more commonly NAZI party, (which was really unpopular with certain minority groups) or the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics (USSR, CCCP if you know Cyrillic) have anything in common? Hmm… let me think about what word those have in common… too tough for me. (I get the international socialist vs. the national socialist concepts.)
You may consider Hitler’s Socialist state to be considered Christian, but when he seized power he had all the pictures of Jesus Christ removed from Churches and replaced with… wait for it… himself. Also, he was obsessed with the occult; not too dissimilar from the pedophilia in ‘powerful’ people today.
It is Liberty vs. Tyranny. Liberty = Freedom + Morality. Tyranny = Freedom – Morality. End of discussion.
I would guess God is disappointed, but He is slow to anger and, at His Will, forgive.
Stucky- Thats not true, religion has killed vast numbers but no where in the 150 MILLION range that communism has wrought. If I’m wrong, document your comment.
You know what I do when I suspect a commenter is wrong about something? I do the research?
Why don’t you do your own research??
160 million died JUST in the 20th century! Of course, not all of those were fought by nations considered to be Christian. However, with NINETEEN more centuries to consider, coming up with 150 million isn’t hard to fathom.

What I said was; “the many NATIONS who consider themselves Christian ..”
So, I’m not talking about wars specifically fought over religious issues.
For example, the Brits pretty much invaded most countries in the world at one time or another. The Brits are considered Christian. So, to whom should all those dead people thank? The Christian RELIGION, not specific Christians.
The British have been governed by Kabbalist sorcery for the last 500 years, not by Christians.
The basic faith is about world domination. The church welcomed the sun worshippers and included many rituals from them into it’s services. In fact, the church changed the day of worship to gain souls. The church admits they changed to day of worship. The pope can do anything because he is God on earth. Bwahahababa.
Catholicism has always been progressive because that is the way to gain souls. Hell, you can buy your way into heaven as a catholic. Bwahaha.
Money!! It’s ALL about money and G.R.E.E.D.
Some say…”Wip, you’re wrong, it’s all about C.O.N.T.R.O.L.”
I say control and greed are the same thing. What’s the purpose of control? So you can be at the top and have it all. Literally have everything.
“He is clearly a communist and full on board with the Great Reset.”
He’s playing by these rules.
Acts 4:32-35 KJB… “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.”
Rules clearly not written TO us, but to a different people at a different time. It’s an impostor who would try to impose them on believers today.
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 KJB… “And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.”
2 Thessalonians 3:10 KJB… “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”
Now those are instructions for believers today; in this, the dispensation of grace.
“Pope Francis covered up pedophilia. Pope Francis is a communist.” So what? Nothing new here.
I wonder how many times Francis will be voting Tuesday?
Catholics flunked the Reformation and murdered millions of Christians; and they will flunk out on their Pervert Pope of Satan too. Everything that goes liberal totally goes to crap; I’ll be gladly watching as the Vatican rapidly becomes a humiliating public Shithole.
I love this pope. After 20 years of not practicing as a catholic, not attending mass, not tithing it now makes me look insightful. These were the reasons 20 years ago I saw as systemic flaws. I love God and now have a direct relationship with him. No more religious brokers or middlemen for me. Ever.
