[@AM-iy6qe]

​@ebaiz40 Let's start with Francis saying all religions are paths to God. He also worshiped pachamamas in the Vatican. Said same sex couples can be blessed. Said who am I to judge when asked about gay marriage. He does not profess the Catholic faith, so he cannot be the Pope.

[@ebaiz40]

@@AM-iy6qe Thanks for your reply. A few point, please read Lumen Gentium (Document from the second Vatican council). but as an introduction, Let me quote St John Paul 2..."[T]he Council [Vatican II] says that the Holy Spirit works effectively even outside the visible structure of the Church, making use of…the common soteriological [salvation-related] root present in all religions." Present in all religions...Note that this is the teaching of the church way before Francis... that is not to say that all religions are the same. When he said "Who am I to judge" was not in the context of gay marriage... he said if a gay person is seeking of God, then who am I to judge. If a gay person is seeking of God, we should encourage them and trust the lord to guide them, not judged them. He did allow a pastoral blessing of same sex couples, but not in their relationship but as individuals seeking a blessing. All sinners get blessings... This does not mean we approve of sins. You do have a point with the Pachamama ritual, I am not sure that it was worship, but was horribly misguided. But please read these things carefully... not all that the news say is tru, left news or right news.

the latín mass is allowed, just ask your bishop and he will let you do it. There is no reason we can't have both latín and novus ordo (Vatican council 2). For background, the changes came because when the bishops were surveyed many of them were worried that the folks doing the latín mass held the view that the novus ordo mass was not valid, this if course is not the position of the catholic church. If you hold the view that novus ordo is not valid, sorry but you are not following catholic teachings. Thus, the bishops are responsible to assure that those doing the latín mass do so out of love for the mass and not out of rejection to the novus ordo mass.

Not even hidden.

[@chrisbiddle3674]

The notion that Pope Francis’ pontificate is aimed at “obliterating” St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI or “dismantling two millennia of Catholic Christianity” is not only absurd but dangerously misleading. These claims insult the integrity of the papacy, reduce the Church to a battleground for personal rivalries, and ultimately deny the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who has safeguarded the Church’s unity and mission through every era. If you truly believe the Church has been overtaken by a hidden agenda, I must ask: is it your position that the Holy Spirit has abandoned the Church entirely? That God has allowed the very institution He founded to become a vehicle for deception? If so, what does that say about Christ’s promise that “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18)? Let’s follow the implications of what you’re suggesting. If Pope Francis is actively dismantling the Church, does that mean every cardinal, bishop, priest, and Catholic who remains in communion with him is complicit in this agenda? Does that include the countless Catholics who attend Mass, receive the sacraments, and strive to live holy lives? Are they all deceived, spiritually bankrupt, or even damned because they trust in the Church Christ established? Is your claim that the Church no longer exists as a visible, hierarchical institution? If so, where is it? Who leads it? Or are you suggesting that Christ’s Church now exists in some undefined, invisible remnant without any structure or authority? The accusations against St. John Paul II are even more outrageous. Calling him a “fast food saint” or associating him with “witchcraft” because of the Jerusalem cross is not just baseless; it’s outright blasphemy. Are you truly suggesting that St. John Paul II-a man canonized after a rigorous process that included verified miracles-was secretly engaged in occult practices? If so, do you believe God would work miracles to affirm someone complicit in such actions? And what about the billions of Catholics who venerated him as a saint? Are they all deceived as well? Or worse, are they unwittingly participating in the “false religion” you seem to think the Church has become? These claims lead to a staggering conclusion: either the Catholic Church is what she claims to be-the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, with Pope Francis as her legitimate shepherd-or she has ceased to exist altogether, leaving all her faithful adrift for the last sixty years. If the latter, what is your alternative? Where is the visible Church today? Who leads it? Or do you believe that the promises of Christ to His Church have failed entirely, leaving nothing but chaos and deception in their wake? Catholics reading this should take note: these accusations against Pope Francis, his predecessors, and the Church itself are not rooted in fidelity to Christ but in an ideology that denies the very essence of the Church. Such rhetoric invites division, distrust, and ultimately schism. It undermines the unity Christ prayed for and the mission of the Church to proclaim the Gospel to all nations. If you truly believe your claims, then say it plainly: do you believe that God has abandoned His Church? Do you reject the legitimacy of the sacraments, the canonizations of saints, and the faith of billions of Catholics around the world? If so, how can you reconcile this with the Gospel and Christ’s promises? Or is your position simply a collection of unfounded accusations with no substance behind them? The faithful deserve answers to these questions-not baseless attacks on the pope and the Church. Pope Francis, like St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI before him, serves the Church as its legitimate shepherd, building on the foundation of his predecessors and responding to the needs of our time. His pontificate, far from dismantling the Church, continues her mission to proclaim Christ to the world. Catholics must reject these divisive and groundless narratives, remain steadfast in communion with the pope, and trust in the Holy Spirit, who has guided the Church unfailingly for two millennia.

This testing was by its gift church and state roles as Pope in its matters of an unacceptable risk of insurance fraud on its identity in need of union by the Italian Parliament "Zan" anti-homophobia bill and embezzlements by ten of its Vatican state procreation role gifts' helpers of the family, including Cardinal Angelo Becciu, of its procreation role gift charity donations.

This consecrated celibate marriage of Pope Francis by keeping unity with consecrated male female marriage (cf. Mary's consecrated marriages at Lk 1:38, celibate as: "let it be to me" and at Mt 1:24, male female) was found not to be complicit in: (a) tax evasion embezzlements by these ten convicted on 18 December 2023 in this consecrated celibate marriage's Vatican state criminal court, (b) insurance fraud by the Italian Parliament defeating this bill on 27 October 2021.

Hypocritical Church

[@capuchinhos]

When I first encountered them, my impression was that they were elitist and sect-like, prioritizing people of wealth, influence, and good appearance. Later, while studying philosophy and theology in the 1990s in Arequipa, I met some Sodalites personally. I came to understand that their staunch opposition to liberation theology was a reaction to the influence of Marxist ideology in a context where violence and resentment hurt Peruvian society. They positioned themselves as defenders of orthodoxy, but this also led to a rigid and insular culture. The revelations of abuses within the group-including manipulation, authoritarianism, and criminal behavior-are deeply disturbing. These cases remind us of the dangers of unchecked power in any organization, especially those with rigid hierarchies. Accountability is essential, but I feel that the recent measures against them go beyond justice and lean toward revenge. Some of the accusers are former members who, now aligned with ideological groups, seem to be exploiting their influence to harm the Sodalites. This raises concerns about fairness and motives. Justice should focus on accountability and healing, not settling ideological scores or deepening divisions. The Sodalites have always been polarizing, caught between their conservative stance and the critiques of their exclusivity and authoritarianism. The Church must ensure a transparent and impartial process-one that rebuilds trust, addresses real harm, and avoids vengeance. True justice must heal, not divide further.

[@williamj-t2n]

Who or what are “Sodalites”??

[@oliverclark5604]

to capuchinhos, ensuring justice procreation gift doing roles (plural) and insuring mercy need of union of being identity (singular) are inseparable and qualitatively equal. Only spouses consenting to be joined in consecrated marriages, celibate vowed to man in Christ or male female vowed to God or both as by Mary as celibate at Lk 1:38: "let it be to me", and male female at Mt 1:24: "Joseph ... too his wife" in her keeping in uncertainty of her belief their inseparability and qualitative equality, can both ensure and insure this keeping in uncertainty of belief as by Pope Francis's consecrated celibate marriage on 17 June 2021 simultaneously in the matters of: (a) the Italian Parliament "Zan" anti-homophobia bill as an unacceptable risk of fraud on its identity in need of union, (b) the Vatican state embezzlements of its procreation role gift charity donations by ten of its citizens, including Cardinal Angelo Becciu, in their falsely purported presumed groomed by diseased family member identities helper of the family procreation gift roles. At issue is church role procreation gift processes and consecrated marriage progress in meeting need of union of identity keeping their inseparability and qualitative equality in a double keeping authorising a third keeping as trinitarian exercising an absolute power of authorisations of (a) roles, (b) roles and identity, (c) identity.

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORDS; and he is the governor among the nations. And the LORD he it is that doth go before thee: he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsaken thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whither soever thou goest. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand, a man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; YEA, I will help thee; YEA, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, as a thing of nought. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself, Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear; but of power, and of Love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. The Kings heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Becareful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus... When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him... Finally my brothers and sisters... Philippines 4:8.... read... God Bless and keep you all... AMEN, AND AMEN.

@@dr.parakletos7765 Are you suggesting that the Holy Spirit has allowed not just the pope, but every cardinal, bishop, and priest in communion with him-millions of clergy worldwide-to fall into apostasy? Wouldn’t that mean that Christ’s promise to Peter in Matthew 16:18 ("the gates of hell shall not prevail") failed entirely for over 60 years? If the Church has been false since 1958, what of saints canonized during this period, like St. Padre Pio (who celebrated Mass under the Novus Ordo), St. John Paul II, and St. Teresa of Calcutta? Are you implying their miracles were fabrications or that God would work miracles to affirm a false Church? What about the billions of Catholics who have received the sacraments-Baptism, the Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage-since 1958? Do you believe they are invalid or ineffective, leaving almost all Catholics spiritually adrift for decades? Does this mean God abandoned His faithful entirely? Finally, if the true Church is "less visible," as you say, where exactly is it? Who leads it? How does it govern itself? Without a visible hierarchy, how does it fulfill Christ’s commission to teach all nations (Matthew 28:19-20)? I invite you to clarify these points, as they seem to follow naturally from your position. I’d be fascinated to hear how you resolve these contradictions, particularly given Christ’s assurance that He remains with His Church "always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). Your perspective might raise some serious questions for many Catholics. Please explain how you address these consequences so we can understand your view more clearly.
