Pope Francis paves the way for an even more radical successor.
In one photo, he’s standing in front of an image of Christ that at first glance looks like a contorted statue of the Buddha. He’s dressed in a skin-tight unflattering pull-over that highlights body flab. Around his neck is a long wooden rosary, a misplaced use of a sacramental.
In other photos, his eyes seem to slant in a locked Machiavellian, snake-in-the-grass stare.
Who is he?
His name is Victor Manuel “Tucho” Fernandez, an Argentine Catholic Archbishop and friend of Pope Francis.

I don’t care how catholics use their talismans, but a sacramental what?
The term was used as a noun. I assume that’s a grammatically correct – if infrequent – usage.
It didn’t show as a noun for me. I only check old dictionaries. Still, I went to catholic school and don’t know what he means.
Of course, I’m a heathen so that doesn’t mean much.
He wrote a book about men kissing men? Did I get that right?
Tucho my childo,
I cut-a you face!
Vaffanculo!
Torquemada did nothing wrong.
St Malachy predicted this pope would be the one that hands the keys to the World to (((The Big Guy))) with the horns and pointy tail.
Petrus Romanus. I don’t put a lot of stock in the Malachy stuff, but this heretical antipope “Francis” is bad news, prophesy or no prophesy. God will sort it out, the sooner the better.

I agree with Ann Barnhardt – Bergoglio is not the pope. How can you disagree with a Quran-burning, crazy-eyed zealot woman with a pink AR-15?
Seems I remember a few raids on cardinals having orgies with male prostitutes which exposed nude men in a lot of deep activity. Some poor laborers in a turd-world country donated their meager income to pay for the call boys. The Vatican is disgusting .
They have acquired some nice art collection tho’
Damn! I clicked on the link and the photo of the (little) red-hatted “catholic” dude shown is…. Well, ask me what a jew looks like, and I’ll send you that picture.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV) says: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” All the grace we will ever need is received the moment we trust Jesus, by faith, as Savior The saving grace that is granted at the moment of genuine faith is the only saving grace God’s Word calls on us to receive. This grace is received by faith, not by observing rituals based on the works in verse 8 above. So, while the seven sacraments are “good things to do,” when they are understood in a biblical context, the concept of the seven sacraments as “conferring sanctifying grace” is completely unbiblical.
You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.

James 1:1 KJB… “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.”
Unless you are a member of one of the twelve scattered tribes, James isn’t talking to you.

If I am not a member of the group being addressed in the bible, the message does not apply.
Not a Roman, Corinthian, Ephesian, Galatian, Philippian, Collosian or Thessalonian either.
Not an Israelite.
The law code with the Israelites?
None of it applies to me.
That’s correct.
Check the “address” of each letter to see if you are being addressed. Paul, for example, addresses members of the body of Christ in all his epistles; the saints at each location. They would be “addressed” to believers today, you and me; geographic locations notwithstanding.
Jesus tells us specifically whom He is speaking to during His time physically manifested on earth, in…
Matthew 15:24 KJB… “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. It is only after the risen and glorified Lord Christ meets Paul on the road to Damascus that He then begins to address the likes of you and me, through Paul. Jesus sent Paul to us Gentiles.
Romans 11:13 KJB… “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:”
You are not an Israelite. We are not under the law given specifically to them. We are not under covenant agreements with God. We are under His grace, freely offered.
Romans 6:14-15 KJB… “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.”
