Hey @Glenn, hope you are well my friend. Have you spoken with Conchita yet on the new Pope? Would love to hear her insight if any of course.
There definitely is a resemblance, especially with the young Leo XIV. He looks a bit like Pius XII, too.
I read somewhere that Cardinal Prevost is a good swimmer, so I hope to hear the phrase 'athlete of God' again from the sanest minds.
Just for reference, I follow the tweets of former Brazilian friar Leonardo Boff, one of the main historical leaders of Liberation Theology in Brazil. When Francis was elected, he was overjoyed and even posted on his Twitter profile the day before that this would be the papal name. Now, with the election of Leo XIV, he said he didn’t know Prevost, offered a modest compliment, but mentioned that he missed a reference to the poor and the environment in the pope’s inaugural address. https://x.com/LeonardoBoff/status/311668261664194560?t=XmHp7OVhxsHEtbOh_T_5mQ&s=19 https://x.com/LeonardoBoff/status/1920680527184417242?t=jwmpBpq2UXcPBZ6HJUQjHQ&s=19
Yes, this man was excommunicated by the Church. He belongs to the left-wing faction and is a fierce critic of the pontificates of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. However, I must say I was very surprised when he gave an interview in 2013 claiming that John Paul I had discovered the Masonic affiliation of some cardinals shortly before his death in 1978.
He reminds me of the old saying. 'All heresies begin below the belt'. One time Martin Luther's wife . who was a former nun said to Luther how much she was looking forward to seeing heaven, to which Martin Luther replied, 'My dear, heaven is not meant for the likes of you and me!' He knew. They all do. Papa Frankie knew before he died and that is why he was acting so bizzarely. Heaven is not meant for arrant heretics. They go to hell. That's what they do. They go straight to hell.
That is interesting. Here's an interview with someone who has read and studied a lot and claims to see the signs of Freemasonic art all over the place. It is sad to see it in Fatima ...
The New Basilica in Fatima is Masonic as is the Audience Hall of Pope St Paul in Rome, which everyone calls, 'The Snake Hall'.
Yes, that’s why he took the doctrine of divine predestination, as taught by Saint Augustine, and turned it into a kind of divine insurance for salvation, stripped of any moral law — a law he himself admitted not to follow. Now we have a pope who, like Luther, is Augustinian and may attempt an agreement with the Protestants on justification by faith, but from a truly Catholic perspective, as John Paul II tried with the Lutherans in 1999.
He is only made Pope a while ago and like a wine I want to leave it a while before judging the taste. Great graces are granted to Popes through the prayers of the Faithful and who knows, like any wine he may in the end turn out very fine. So prudence and charity dictate that we should give him time. There is a Prophecy of a Pope who will seem like a lamb but turn into a ravening wolf which is , I admit a cause of very, very, very great concern to me. We will see. But I think its best just to wait a while and see. But I admit I am very,very concerned. We will see. Please God have mercy on us. We don't deserve your mercy on account of our most grave sins, but please for the blood of your Son who died on Calvary, grant us a good and Holy Pope. Mary, Help of Christians ,come to our aid in our hour of need.
Scripture says that the time will come when people will kill, thinking they are offering worship to God. Imagine that this wolf will appear as a living saint and will stir such enthusiasm among Christians that he will convince them that killing other Christians is for the greater glory of God. Revelation 13 says that the false prophet will exercise all the authority of the first beast in its presence—not merely in its absence, as a global vice-regent might act without the immediate presence of their superior. I believe the reason is that he will imitate Moses, who was God’s lawgiver in the book of Exodus and exercised divine authority before the people. I believe that shortly before this wolf appears, various spurious gospels—contradicting 2,000 years of Christian Christology—will rise from the depths of the abyss and spread throughout the world. Heresies such as Christ marrying Mary Magdalene and having children, the so-called ‘sacred feminine,’ and the ancient mystery religion of Nimrod, among others. He will not merely present himself as a historical modernist, but rather as someone who allows himself to be ‘surprised’ by (false) divine revelation. In my opinion, this is how he will attempt to deceive even the elect.

HE WILL COME AGAIN IN GLORY ⇡ The Church's ultimate trial ⇡ 769 (all) 675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.574 The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth575 will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.576 574. Cf. Lk 18:8; Mt 24:12. 575.

The Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism,577 especially the "intrinsically perverse" political form of a secular messianism.578 577.

Someone who appears to be a lamb but is actually a ravening wolf.. precisely as the Cathechism indicates.
I hope , I pray I am wrong. But I have the gravest, gravest misgivings and the more I pray and think about things the more concerned I become that the events portrayed in our Cathechism are coming to past right before our very eyes.. I am not saying it is so. But I am very,very,very concerned that it might be so.
There is an Angelus to be prayed this Sunday; whoever confesses that Jesus came in the flesh passes the initial test against the Antichrist and the false prophet.
