No, David, I'm not missing your point. You were inferring that links to dodgy websites are posted by me and anyone who would like a little more clarity from the Pope and don't care for the snide articles written or comments made by him and the people he chooses to represent him. Offhand, in the past week, I have linked to Wikipedia, the Vatican, the New Advent Catholic Encyclopaedia, the Catholic World Report, the National Catholic Register, EWTN, and La Cattolica Civilta. I may well have also linked to well known secular newspapers although not many because they tend to be anti-Catholic. Can you give me a list of websites you would have members forbidden from linking on the forum?
About that..... Papal Advisers Bash American Christians in Bigoted Screed http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...bashes-american-christians-in-bigoted-screed/ mentioned by CrewDog above.....this "reply": Philly Archbishop Decries Vatican Article Attacking U.S. Christians as ‘Willfully Ignorant’ In a hard-hitting essay, Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput has joined the dozens of Christian leaders who have denounced the ignorant and insulting article published last week by the Vatican-vetted journal, La Civiltà Cattolica. The essay by papal confidants Father Antonio Spadaro SJ and Rev. Marcelo Figueroa paints an offensive caricature of conservative Christians in the United States as politically ambitious racists who promote an “ecumenism of hate” and long to impose a theocratic state. In his powerful response, Archbishop Chaput says that the authors are guilty of “dumbing down and inadequately presenting the nature of Catholic/evangelical cooperation on religious freedom and other key issues.” “Dismissing today’s attacks on religious liberty as a ‘narrative of fear,’” as the La Civiltà Cattolica article does, Chaput says, “sounds willfully ignorant.” ....... The redoubtable Philadelphia Archbishop joins a growing chorus of Catholic voices that have universally criticized the article. One observer, Father Raymond Desouza, derided the piece as “ignorant of contemporary Catholic life, tendentious in its analysis, patronizing in tone,” arguing that ultimately it “does not even rise to the level of mediocrity.” Another critic, Dr. Samuel Gregg, observed that Father Spadaro and Rev. Figueroa demonstrate a “distinctly amateur grasp of American religious history and the finer points of American politics.” More.... http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...tacking-u-s-christians-as-willfully-ignorant/
https://gloria.tv/article/sQRzhppf1bXK3e2JvatNAGRst Vatican Spokesman Attacks Catholic U.S. Archbishop yesterday On July 15, Canadian Father Thomas Rosica, the English language media attaché of the Holy See Press Office, has criticised Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput who belongs to the Catholic wing of the Church, without mentioning his name. Rosica condemned on saltandlighttv.org critics of the controversial book Building a Bridge by the gay-ideologist, Father James Martin. Rosica refers to “some bishops’ messages” but Chaput was the only bishop who publicly criticised Martin's book. Rosica belongs to the pro-gay wing in the liberal church. Further, Rosica discloses his personal fear of, as he puts it, “the dark, dysfunctional side of the Catholic blogosphere”, probably because he receives many criticisms from there.
https://gloria.tv/article/qR3ZFaxQWXoS2mrY1vVcZ8URq Vatican’s Academy for Life Attacks Human Life International 6 hours ago Vatican Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, the president of the Academy for Life, sees an urgent task of broadening the pro-life vision. He told cruxnow.com that being pro-life is also about the environment, pollution, elderly and oppression of children. Paglia slammed one of the most prestigious Catholic pro-life organisations, “Human Life International, for example, describes its mission as confronting the ‘evils of abortion, contraception, euthanasia/assisted suicide, and the redefinition of marriage,’ but makes no mention of the small arms trade or the death penalty (there are close to 3,000 currently on death row).” Paglia forgot to mention that Human Life International neither has a program to assist crack-brained clergymen.
Whatever happened to the "Pope Francis is going to bring all churches together!". Hahahaha, tow the company line or you are a hypocrite, pharisee, and now willfully ignorant! When will this nonsense end? PF has aligned himself with the worst of catholicism. Meltdown occurring as we speak.
http://eponymousflower.blogspot.com/2017/07/whats-going-on-in-bergoglios-pontifical.html? What's Going on in Bergoglio's Pontifical Academy for Life Anyway? Edit: Randy Engel sent this to our e-mail. Hope we can help expose this manifest evil. Karolinska Institute is NOT a “Medical University.” It’s a Big Auschwitz for unborn children. In the selection of its members, the Vatican must also consider the institution that the member represents. In the case of Katarina Le Blanc that institution is the Karolinska Institute – one of the world’s foremost promoters of abortion and abortifacients. The Institute also is involved in non-therapeutic fetal experimentation and the provision of fetal tissues from aborted babies. Its eugenic mind-set is illustrated by its pioneer promotion of human embryo preimplantation diagnosis and in-vitro Fertilization. Either remove Le Blanc and all the other anti-life characters which infest the “academy” or just shut the growing hell-hole down! Enough is enough! Randy Engel, U.S. Coalition for Life Pontifical Academy for Scandals - One Scandal More :Source: La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana The Nuova Bussola Quotidiana writes, that Katarina Le Blanc from the Swedish Karolinska Institutet, who was named on June 13th as a member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, works with human stem cells derived from aborted children. In 2013 she published with other authors an article in PLOS ONE on stem cell research based on cells harvested from killed human embryos. The Pontifical Academy for Life declared in 2000, that such research is immoral. In July 2016 Le Blanc published in Scientific Reports with others a study based on cells taken from the lungs of aborted children, purchased from the abortion-network Planned Parenthood at the price of 45 Dollars a baby.
With this ghoul on it, the body should be renamed The Pontifical Academy for Death. What next, perhaps a proposal for the canonisation of Doctor Mengele? If this appointment is not deliberate mockery, I'd be very grateful if somebody could explain to me why she was appointed.
It's already beginning to seem that evil has taken over the world .... as mentioned in various prophecies.
It has happened with such rapid fire speed that it takes my breath away. As if a dam broke open. We are living in the times foretold and it is so immense it doesn't seem real. I feel like I am watching a movie and then " wait a minute! This is real. This is happening. " like a very bad dream.
This is nothing but deflection, evasion and distraction from the president of the Pontifical Academy of Death. This archbishop seems unable to distinguish between absolute and conditional evil. A small arm may be perfectly moral to carry for self-defense purposes. Likewise, there is no comparison between the judicial execution of a fairly-tried murderer and the murder of an innocent child in its mother's womb. There might be 3,000 murderers and rapists on death row, but there are a million babies per year on death row in the US alone. Only a lunatic, or worse, would give the former this type of priority, but it all shows how near the Gates of Hell some in the Vatican are now approaching.
This is truly the time of the unmasking.....when Satan no longer sees a need to operate from hidden places but is "out there" not caring if he is exposed since by now so many accept his blatant control of them, honoring him and literally building monuments to him in the open.
Yes earth to angels. You are right. He must be so sure of his victory. Or maybe he knows there is no victory but like his servant hitler he will use a scorched earth policy and destroy everything he can.
God have mercy on Pope Francis. I pray he does not know this. If he knows it I pray he has a change of heart.

My post was not an attack on anyone but since you raise the matter again and Dolours continues to miss the point, I will try to be clearer. The website I quoted is a website that was set up to promote Maria Divine Mercy (MDM) who has since been shown to be a fraud as well as a false prophet. That the same website now promotes the virtually identical anti Francis articles as the Francis critics on this forum do should be a serious concern to those critics. That is what my post was intended to point out.
So it's the articles' fault??? I don't think they have a choice as to who uses them. Can't stifle the press....like good or bad seeds that fall on good or bad ground for various reasons!
