The Next Pope Should at Least be Catholic

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/09/the_next_pope_should_at_least_be_catholic.html

Christopher Skeet | September 6, 2022

Pope Francis doesn’t like America. Pope Francis doesn’t like capitalism. It is unclear whether Pope Francis even likes Catholicism. Whatever the case may be, he seems to be doing everything he can to dissuade Catholics from remaining in the Church, and to keep prospective Catholics from joining.

When certain Christian leaders, such as the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, or the Southern Baptist Convention president, J.D. Greear, speak, nobody listens. Why? Because they sacrificed Christendom, and the glorious civilization it produced, upon the altar of wokeness a long time ago. When the pope speaks, people still listen. But that’s rapidly changing, and for the same reason.

A few of Pope Francis’ more memorable pronouncements are worth noting:

  • After the Uvalde school shooting, he told a Vatican crowd that, “It’s time to say ‘Enough’ to the indiscriminate trade of weapons!”
  • He blamed capitalism for much of the world’s “pain, death, and destruction,” and referred to it as the “dung of the devil.” He called for “structural change” and for a “just distribution” of land, lodging, and labor.
  • He attributed George Floyd’s death to the “sin of racism.”
  • He sneered that market capitalism and neo-liberalism are “magic theories,” and blamed them not only for the spread of coronavirus, but also for inequality in general.
  • He blamed the ghastly murders of Europeans by Muslim immigrants, as well as the creation of ISIS, on the world’s alleged worship of the “god of money,” and referred to capitalism as “terrorism against all of humanity.”
  • He blamed Putin’s invasion of Ukraine to “NATO barking at Russia’s gate” and the “West’s attitude.”
  • And he responded to criticism from American Catholics by saying, “It’s an honor if the Americans attack me.”

Pope Francis is also noteworthy for what he doesn’t say. Take, for instance, when in 2015 he visited Cuba and gallivanted around with Raul Castro, a man whose legacy includes murdering and imprisoning Christians. Not once did Pope Francis offer any criticism whatsoever of the bloody communist regime, nor utter a single word of solidarity with its victims. And for the spontaneous protests of the Cuban people in 2021 and 2022, and the resulting brutal government crackdown? Not a peep.

Or when Pope Francis visited Malta to address Muslim illegal immigrants and had the cross removed from the stage in order to avoid offending the audience.

And as I write, he still hasn’t directly criticized Putin for invading Ukraine.

he is a jesuit that believes in ‘liberation theology’, a psychotic attempt to meld catholicism with communism, or, an entity worshiping God with an entity that denies God exists, replaced by the state.

this is why catholics are so confused: the message sent is schizophrenic.

Correct. Just call it apostasy at this point.
Malachi Martin’s book The Jesuits explains exactly where Pope Francis is coming from. Martin would call it “Modernity” but certainly liberation theology helps explain where the Pope is coming from. The book is from the mid 1980’s, and since it is grounded in truth, it is standing the test of time easily.

The Jesuits and the Jews are not Hebrews.
God destroyed the Hebrews after Jesus’s crucifixion…the current incarnation of Lucifer worshippers are following the same path as their forefathers, to bring about an end to Western civilization now.
The next pope should dissolve the Vatican and distribute the wealth to churches worldwide….
But that won’t happen….

“God destroyed the Hebrews after Jesus’s crucifixion”

dunno man, they were extremely numerous in many places around the med and they have an enormous history afterwards, starting with the council of jamnia and culminating with the babylonian talmud which they continue to use to this day.

” the message sent is schizophrenic”

no, it’s quite coherent. it’s the culmination of paul’s gospel.

Red River D
Red River D

Once we understand the ways of Mingled Seed, their message is most certainly coherent. And the Apostle Paul laid it out quite nicely for us.

Paul’s gospel is the Gospel of Christ. I can’t tell whether or not you’re hostile to Paul. If you are, you are gravely deceived.

cS
cS

I’m not hostile to paul, I merely point out what he said and did.

matt: 23:8 But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.

vs

1 Corinthians 4:15 For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel

paul was a believer, but he understood his belief in pharisaical terms – notice he never once in any of his writings cites any of jesus’ teachings, nor does he ever describe any effort to learn those teachings, nor does luke record him ever seeking them out. paul founded, not churches, but synagogues, with himself as the chief rabbi and therefore in the pharisaical rabinical tradition as god to the congregation who were taught to follow not christ but paul (“follow me as I follow christ”, “I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin”,”in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach”,”so that we may present every man complete in Christ”) – exactly the same rabbinical approach taken in the synagogues.

paul’s gospel (romans 2:16, 16:25) was very much paul’s gospel and allowed for no-one else (acts 15:39).

Red River D
Red River D

Let’s keep this simple.

Show me one single place where Paul contradicted Christ in anything he ever said.

cS
cS

matt 23:8-9 vs 1 cor 4:15

more to the point, paul exhibits neither awareness of anything jesus said nor any interest in it. his entire approach and doctrine is simply recast rabbinical pharisaical judaism. read his pastoral letters – they’re just rules for running and exercising rabbinical control over a captive synagogue. in paul’s gospel, you don’t follow god/christ yourself, rather you follow god/christ by following paul – which is the rabbinical system. in paul’s gospel, the role of the holy spirit is to confirm paul’s authority over you, and thereafter he/it plays little to no role at all -which is the old testament model. in paul’s gospel every theological expression and explanation leads up to, “therefore I, Paul, now give you the following commands” – because in rabbinial judaism that’s exactly how it works.

consider philemon 10, “my child Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my imprisonment”. is it paul who has “begotten” onesimus? it is in rabbinical pharisaical judaism, and in paul’s gospel. consider philemon 19, “not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self as well”. is it to paul that philemon owes his own self? it is in rabbinical pharisaical judaism, and in paul’s gospel.

Red River D

First you cite two verses without bothering to point to any contradiction (because there is no contradiction), then you proceed to write:

“…paul exhibits neither awareness of anything jesus said nor any interest in it…”

This conversation has ceased to be worth my time. Any fool who can say that about Paul, has never bothered to read what Paul wrote. And when I say read, I mean that word to include comprehend.

Paul was taught personally by Christ. Was saved personally by Christ. Preached the Gospel as personally sent by Christ. Elaborated at profound length on what was spoken by Christ.

What you just wrote demonstrates a complete and utter lack of understanding of everything Paul wrote. Or, more to the point, an absolute failure to pay attention to what Paul wrote.

Anyone who reads Paul and finds some other spirit in those letters than the Spirit of the Lord, knows neither Paul nor Jesus Christ.

Red River D
Red River D

I would hasten to add:

Your preoccupation with Paul’s claim to have begotten sons and daughters in Christ, further demonstrates your insufficient understanding of the Biblical Narrative. God instructed mankind to be fruitful and multiply. Paul had no wife and bore no children through marriage. But you fail to recognize that Paul begat many sons and daughters in the men and women he reached with the Gospel of Christ, who before Paul had been dead in their sins. It is therefore well and truly said that Paul begat sons and daughters (many) in the name of the Lord.

Stop thinking materially and one-dimensionally. The entire POINT of the Bible is to learn to SEE (not with your eyes) spiritually and in mosaic perspective. Listen to God when He speaks and teaches. Do that, and you cannot fail to recognize that same Spirit coming through loud and clear in everything Paul wrote. Fail to do it or do it only in part, and you’ll end up burdened with confusion, in the wilderness, without light or understanding, which is where you find yourself currently.

“It is therefore well and truly said that Paul begat sons and daughters (many) in the name of the Lord.”

we can let the christian readers contemplate whether it’s paul or christ that saves, and decide for themselves.

(looking at the downvotes) or you can let a priest/pastor/whatever tell you what it all means.

cS
cS

“And when I say read, I mean that word to include comprehend.”

you mean “reach certain conclusions”. problem is the text itself simply doesn’t support those conclusions.

“absolute failure to pay attention to what Paul wrote”

well, it’s all there for anyone to read for themselves. once you become aware of what paul is doing it leaps off the page at you.

Red River D
Red River D

I am well versed in your kind of Paul accusing.

I used to be an accuser of the Apostle Paul myself.

“wild idea here”

well it’s hardly minutiae, almost all churches operate on the pauline rabbi/synagogue model to this day. understanding how and why this came to be, and it’s consequences, is useful.

but you are entirely correct to turn the focus back to god – that is after all the putative issue. “you search the scriptures thinking that in them you have eternal life, and these bear witness to me – and you do not come to me.” the problem is that most people equate the text with god, for two reasons – 1) they have no contact with god and thus seek a substitute in the minutiae, and 2) this has been the church’s entire mode of “seeking god” for thousands of years now which they have aggressively taught, and most people never realize that they are not seeking god but rather are seeking a rabbinical authority posing as god.

I simply point out what is going on. people equate this with “hating” and “accusing” paul because they’ve internalized his rabbinical “my gospel” approach and experience any awareness of this as a personal attack on themselves.

“Paul accusing”

it’s not accusing. it’s reading. your use of leading words demonstrates the nature of your argument.

jesus is quoted as saying, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. no-one comes to god except through me.”, and “before abraham was, I am.” that steps on everything judaism is.

recall when jesus was preaching to his home town, reading out of isaiah, and all the people were saying “how wonderful he is!” – because isaiah is all about god enslaving the rest of the world to the jeews just because they are jeews. but jesus pointed out that god’s rewards are for those who follow him, and the people got so mad that they tried to throw him off a cliff. no, christianity is not a jewish sect, it’s a turn to god.

Credible means believable. You are implying I only find the content unbelievable, which is not the case. Every time I have looked into it, I found more reasons to doubt the authors themselves and the authenticity of many works or at least critical passages.

The only (maybe) nonjew who was contemporaneous was Luke.

“Credible means believable”

and by “believeable” you mean “acceptable”.

How about the nuns who served as nurses in the 18th and 19th century when the Catholics built and funded some of the earliest hospitals the world, offering care and rehabilitation, received with gratitude and appreciation?

“…Let’s be 100 percent honest with ourselves here…”

You don’t know how to do that. Have you read the Scriptures and deduced them to be something other than what they show themselves to be? Then the truth is not in you. Neither is honesty.

There is one Way out of this doomed world. And you’re advocating for rejecting it. If you can’t differentiate the Word of God from the words of men, then the problem is yours. Not God’s.

cS

“Have you read the Scriptures and deduced them to be something other than what they show themselves to be?”

you mean deduced them to be something other than what someone else deduced them to be.

near as I can figure, no-one anywhere believes the text. rather, they believe their own creed, whatever that happens to be, and that creed is imposed upon, and read into, the text, no matter what the text itself actually says. where the text conforms to the creed it is simply read and cited, but where the text does not conform to the creed it is “interpreted” using three tools – assertion, background reassumption, and word redefinition – to any degree and deformity necessary to arrive at the pre-decided doctrine. (I’ve heard christians describe this deformative interpretation process as “having the mind of god” – as if they have it.) for most, the text itself is little more than a fetish, rather it’s the creed that counts and it’s the creed that gets called “the word of god”.

The Bible teaches the reader how the Bible is to be interpreted. To the extent that the reader fails to do as the Bible instructs, the fault lies with the reader.

Read carefully and, to the best of our abilities, devoid of preconceived notions and preferred traditions, the Bible really isn’t that difficult to comprehend. If one sees contradictions within it, as you do, then one owes God the time devoted to study until any apparent contradictions are resolved. ALL apparent contradictions in the Bible are readily resolvable. IF, that is, you take God at His word and you take care how you read and how you hear Him when He speaks through the Scriptures.

Let’s cry and wale at the fringe of arbitrary Rabbinism, a faith of worldly conscience and the grappling of mind stuff made from myth and allegorical creative self-perpetuating humanistic love of self. I am the chosen, so they say, I can write about myself as though I’m the living god of all gods created in the image of any human figure I chose… Horns or halos, whatever my imagination can conjure…this is the rabbinic mind of the parasites that call evil justice and justice evil! And what justice is said that I say is justice? How the extravagance of self implies the best way to control those that see a different concept of creative energies in the flux of all things wonderful to explore, in the notion, we are free to choose a path of our own desires without harming others… To rob or to steal is parasitic in all cases. Rob me of my thoughts by saying what I think is ungodly, who are they to say such things…??? Well, I have seen the heady of such egotistical formulas coming from the mouths of the so-called righteous who have studied the lies and fraud of mystical humanistic allegory called truth! What is truth if it is not self-evident ibn the spirit of all men? Some devices of plagiaristic nuances formulated from the conjure of other plagiarists. History repeats itself in the moment-by-moment theft of ludicrous beliefs and are passed down through memory of the written words of others. Still the printing press is the phantomatic conjure of lies that keep perpetuating the enigmatic mysteries of allegorical myth and the worship of stars and planets by the Gnostics of ancient Mesopotamia and the pirate parasitism of the children of a so called god or gods, be they male or female… the latter is all hyperbolic mysticisms created by their masters of disguise and folly of thought… While many believe in such folly, it all contributes to a waring mind of superstitions and false beliefs unleased on mankind! As all men, we are what we believe, and our actions are the good or evil of such beliefs… No harm to others in the name of justice is the golden rule of doing to others as we would have them do to us! Now that truth can be chewed through eternity and a day!!! The false dialect of a universal wisdom can never be construed as truth in the latter since of our lives in a solidary human infrastructure of mind over matter… The Pope is just another Rabbi of a faith that lives in the minds of the indoctranated misfits of human natures folly of delusional thought processes devised to control the freedom of real intrinsic thoughts that develop a substance of human peacefulness and solidarity… Concepts that perpetuate the divisions of our human brothers and sisters, is the lies that separate the masses today in the political and religious ideologies of fundamental human retardation. Retardation is a stump in the mind of logic and spiritual self-awareness. The latter blocking out the Sun of cosmic intercourse and gamma inspirational radiation coming to us all from the universal mind of creativity. My thoughts 💭 and my opinion on this subject!
