Pope Francis offered another gesture to Catholics who are estranged from the church, saying he respects them but that God is waiting for them.
The Pope makes a mockery out of the gospel of Jesus the Messiah.
Francis made the comments after he celebrated Epiphany, a major Catholic feast day that recalls the visit to the infant Jesus Christ by three kings.
“I would like to tell all those who feel far from God and the church — and I say this respectfully to those who are afraid or indifferent: The Lord calls you and wants you to be part of his people and does so with great respect and love!” Francis said.
“The Lord doesn’t proselytize, he gives love and this love looks for you, waits for you — for you who don’t believe or have drifted away. This is the love of God.”
Francis has made a priority of reaching out to atheists and Catholics marginalized by their church, particularly gays. He has tasked priests, bishops and cardinals with going out to preach on the margins of society and not wait for the faithful to come back to the church.
Francis himself is leaving the Vatican on Monday to go visit a Rome church where parishioners are acting out Jesus’ nativity scene.
Claiming that God “do not proselyte”, is utter non biblical rubbish.
All Christians are called to walk in talk, and to make disciples. To call people to surrender their life to Jesus the Messiah, and make Him Lord and God in their life.
And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
The Pope present a spineless, aloof and slumbering “god”, some kind of “Father Christmas”, which is only good. A “god” that is not concerned about sin and lawlessness, and not demanding repentance from a life in sin.
‘“These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
People who listen to this kind of faithlessness in the name if Jesus, are basically not interested in the gospel. The Pope present to us a different “Jesus”, walks in a different spirit, and present to us a fake gospel, that is no gospel at all. Only a mixed soup of hallow philosophy and humanism.
For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
The Pope is a liar and a deceiver of the flock. He gives you a copy-cat Messiah, who leads him and all his followers, towards the gates of Hell.
A local Rosary association in Italy crawl with gift to “St. Philomena” in Our Lady of Gace Church in Mugnano cel Cardinale.
Italian citizens crawl into a “Church”, to present gifts to a wooden statue.
These pictures are from the feast of “St. Philomena” taken during the celebration in 2009. The feast is held at 11th of August.
The challenge for Roman Catholics in Italy, is that the “saint” has not been properly canonized. Even though, Pope Gregory XVI on 13 January 1837 gave permission for public celebration of Philomena in some limited places, but not throughout the Church.
In Mugano del Cardinale in Italy, and several places in the US, the Roman Catholics challenge the Pope, and keep her feast.
How can an infallible Pope, change his mind, in regards to this sainthood?
Lets take a look at some more pictures:
A Roman Catholic priest held a mass, with the wooden doll hanging behind the altar.The wooden statue do normally not participate in the masses in this “Church” in central Italy.But she likes to be taken out for a walk…The gloves keep her warm.The Italians crawls up the stairs with gifts in their hands.The stairs of the Church is full of Marian worshipers.They crawl in the direction of the doll above the altar.The crawlers have to kiss the altar.And bring costly gifts to the doll, who did not make it through the process of beautification.The Catholics even bring their children among the crawlers.
The Society of St. Pius X is up in arms against the Papacy. Her is what Wikipedia has recorded:
A traditionalist Catholic group associated with the Society of St. Pius X sees the 1961 removal of the feast of Saint Philomena from those calendars in which it was inscribed as “the work of the devil in order to deprive the people of God of a most powerful Intercessor, particularly in the areas of purity and faith at a time when these virtues were so much being challenged as they continue to be up until now!
Another group claims that Saint Philomena has given further revelations even in the twenty-first century.
Who was this lady “Philomena”?
She was supposed to have been born in 291 A.D, and died in 304 A.D. No other “saint” has died at the age of 13. The piece of wood that is kept in Churches for her “memorial” does not display such a young lady. The statues of “Philomena” are radically different from Church to Church. This is so common within Marianism, that there is no point in proving this facts by more pictures.
The bones of the claimed “saint”, were found in 1802 A.D, in a catacomb in Rome. There is no record of the whereabouts of these bones.
This is recorded by a Roman Catholic website in the US:
“The grandest festivities and processions take place in August and last for five days. This includes the liturgical feast within the diocese of Nola of the Translation of the Holy Relics from Rome to Mugnano del Cardinale on August 10th. Thousands of devotees attend annually and the Miraculous Statue, covered in gold donated jewelry is carried through every street in the town” .
In his Relazione istorica della traslazione del sacro corpo di s. Filomena da Roma a Mugnano del Cardinale De Lucia recounts that wonders accompanied the arrival of the relics in his church, among them a statue that sweated some liquid continuously for three days.
The beautification declaration in 1837 A.D, was reversed. May be injustice to the remains. But more than 1500 years after the death and burial of a person, His or her bones and skulls could not give a trustworthy testimony. Neither oral, nor in writing. The miracle of liquid than sweated the made statue, did not fully convince the present Pope.
My comment:
Ezekiel 23:49 You will suffer the penalty for your lewdness and bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.”
Many Catholics feel worship of idols in their Church, is only a problem in the Third World. But this miraculous sweated piece of wood is revered in an Italian town nearby Naples. The faithful Catholics crawl trough the streets, to offer gifts to the “Madonna”. The priests offer a mass, with the wooden lady sleeping just above the altar.
The doll sits comfortably as Queen…..
To have “holy pieces of wood” over the altar of a Church, is by it self idolatry. But let us leave that topic aside.
When the Italians crawl through the street on their way to mass, they expose some kind of unhealthy bondage. Such faithful Roman Catholics gives the concept of “freedom in Christ” a vey different meaning.
When the crawlers bring gifts to honor a mythological figure, we must wonder: Who first told them to do this?
To crawl up to a wooden statue that symbolizes at the founding of a 1500 year old skeleton, is a pure and simple bastardization of history.
No doubts that paganism is adored and venerated as “holy” and ready to be presented as “Christendom”.
You have to look very deep in the religious world, to find a more blunt and damnable mockery of the gospel. The gospel is supposed to set people free. Since no biblical figure ever entertained wooden statues in this way. Please write off such falsehood.
Did I hear anyone, say: “Ooh, this is not worship….This is only adoration….”
Behold: These people have never been Christians. Please do not take a stand against Jesus, when you see these disconnected people performing this kinds of bizarre religious rituals.
I hope and pray that all of them will hear the gospel, and accept that they crawl in the spirit of an antichrist. Amen.
The Roman Catholic religion renounced Judaism as evil, and still force all Catholics to obey the pagan rules of the Popes.
The road to hell goes through Rome, and obedience to the Papacy.
This is a creed from Rome 1748 A.D, and from the days of Emperor Constantine. First the creed from 1748.
“I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and sacrifices of lambs of the Hebrews, and all the other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspirations, purifications, sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts and new moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns and chants, and observances and synagogues. absolutely everything Jewish, every Law, rite and custom and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with Jews, or feasting with them, or secretly conversing and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain and the leprosy of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to which I acknowledge myself liable. And may I be an anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be set down with Satan and the devils.”
….Additionally, in approximately 365 AD, the Council of Laodicea wrote, in one
of their canons:
Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day. Rather, honoring the Lord’s Day. But if any shall be found to be Judaizers, let them be anathema (against) from Christ”.
What’s really is ironic…..these laws were created by an antichrist Antiochus, and are the same things Constantine would later repeat and this is what people want to live by today. Totally going against God’s Word. People today are living under laws created by Antiochus and Constantine; both antichrists.
Scripture to ponder:
Matthew 24:15:
Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation, ‘ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand),
16“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.
19But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
20And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
21For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
Matthew 7:23
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.
