Apostasy

It is astonishing how far the papacy has fallen since the passing of the great and venerable John Paul II just 13 years ago. He was part of a triumvirate that included Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher that played a significant role in bringing down the evil empire, the USSR. Now the papacy has fallen into disgrace under the leadership of Pope Francis, England is being overrun with Muslim refuterrorists determined to turn the former world power into a Third World s***hole, and it has taken President Donald J. Trump and a legion of us deplorables to put the brakes on America’s own decline (engineered by leftists) and make us great again.

But I digress. Pope Francis is the subject of this post, hence the title. Already we have seen the former cardinal from Argentina embrace socialism and leftist political ideology. He has revealed himself a globalist advocate for open borders (even though the Vatican remains a walled city). He has shown sympathies toward Islam and most recently declared there is no hell. It seems the farther he gets into his papacy, the farther he strays from Biblical doctrine and Catholic teaching. I’m confident Catholics worldwide are mortified.

My pastor here in Mt. Juliet, while teaching the book of Revelation several months ago, remarked that he believes the eventual one-world religion will be amalgam of Catholicism and Islam, and if you read newspaper headlines, it’s difficult to argue. It wouldn’t surprise me if sooner or later — and I’m not predicting this, just surmising — Pope Francis abandons the Catholic Church’s pro-life stance and opposition to same-sex marriage. I wouldn’t blink an eye.
