If Pope Francis dies now I understand that the theory of Benedict XVI remaining Pope may be true. Pope Benedict even received physical attacks from the devil in his face in retaliation. He was acting as the true Pope in the spiritual realm and preventing the current one from doing anything crazy against the faith. It's like God is playing chess with the devil.
It is our duty to pray for him. He certainly doesn't make it easy. Im buying into the retirement argument now
Thats an instant ban..but then my spidy senses picked up that you are our already banned Brazilian friend who trys to keep coming back.. What a hateful uncharitable unchristian post especially towards a very ill person..may God forgive your uncompassionist heart.. Sorry friends if you think I'm being harsh here but that user and post rattled my soul
John you are the watcher on the battlements guarding the fortress/forum. Never apologize for doing what must be done. Your vigilance is very appreciated.
While I know Quis looks out for us (of which I’m grateful). I most appreciate his work making emoji’s and helping me get access to them
I have to say this. I'm so very, very proud of my MOG pals. Despite our many and varying struggles with our Pope, at the first word of his hospitalisation, people drop everything and rush to give from their heart. What love! Almighty God, lay Thy Hand upon our Pope and heal him in every way.
Prayers for the Holy Father. I wish the Vatican Press Office could be more open about these things. He is very old to be going into hospital and was not well anyway. No one believes a thing the Vatican Press Office says when a Pope is sick. God expects us all , even Press Offices to be open and honest.
So many are dropping with heart problems. How much weight of blame is at the Popes feet for shamelessly promoting and enforcing the taking of the covid "vaccines"?
I am no expert, but it seems to be the boosters that are worse than anything. It is like being punched to the floor with the first jab, than kicked in the face repeatedly with boosters. The boosters are the worst.
I think there is some proof for this. I think some of the original dissenting doctors have said the boosters increase the potency of the MRNA.
Can anyone tell me who presides over the Holy Thursday celebration — usually celebrated outside the Basilica in this pontificate — if Pope Francis is still incapacitated by then.
I think judging by this they could pick anyone: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2005/03/26/pope-too-ill-for-rites-of-holy-week/
A LOT! And for completely aligning the Church with the powers of the world. And for mercilessly persecuting holy bishops and priests. And for rescuing Italys leading abortion proponent Emma Bonino from limbo. And for opening the door for the destruction of the mass. Ok I’ll stop here. This is a thread for folks who are obviously more charitable than I am.
All these observations on this poor man's state of soul put a great demand on our prayers. He has the greatest responsibility in the world. No one else carries this weight that he does. May the light of Christ be on him that he might see himself as God sees him. And may we see him as God sees him.(Fr Ripperger's recommended prayer for those who seem to resist God's grace) I think it is absolutely imperative that we forgive him--in the will if our feelings rebel. We must forgive him if we are to be forgiven.
