Francis prays before the nativity scene in Paul VI Hall with its hideous sculpture (l) |
The @Pontifex - the Jesuit who usurped the papacy of the Catholic Church - prays before a Nativity scene in the Vatican depicting the Infant Jesus on a keffiyeh. As everyone knows (except perhaps for Novus Ordo Catholics who live in an alternative universe - the post-conciliar, synodal Bergoglian sect) - the keffiyeh is Arab headgear (derisively known when seen on Green Party lunatics as a 'tea towel'). It symbolises Palestinian resistance to Israel. Such is the hype, a keffiyeh as swaddling clothes for Christ is a trend this year in churches around the world.
Jesus was a Jew, born not in Palestine but in Bethlehem of Judaea, to fulfil Jewish prophecies of a Messiah. Instead of sticking to his knitting - the salvation of souls - Bergoglio plays the United Nations' tune of Israel's response to the Hamas October invasion as 'genocide'.

The Palestinian proclivity for killing Jewish babies invites a comparison with King Herod in his attempt to kill Jesus by massacring all Jewish male babies under the age of two. Only Herod had them put to the sword rather than burned alive. Why should Antipope Francis demonstrate his partiality for Palestinians, if not to follow the globalist UN lead?

Understandably, as according to an expert in Palestinian dress there's fear that the keffiyeh provokes violence - such was the howl of outrage from Jews and Protestants that, the Vatican's revisionist history symbol of the Christ Child, organized by an entity of the terrorist Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), has been removed. Usually the Baby Jesus does not make His appearance until midnight on Christmas Eve; will He reappear then in the Paul VI Audience Hall in His proper swaddling clothes?
The renowned Rabbi Jason Sobel reveals a fascinating facet to the Mystery of the Nativity of Christ:
“When the angels appeared to shepherds … [they] said to them, ‘This will be a sign to you. You’ll see a baby lying in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes,'” Sobel recounted, noting that he believes these shepherds weren’t ordinary, everyday shepherds.
In fact, he said they were raising lambs that were to be offered as sacrifices in the temple, noting that these lambs needed to be without blemish. So, these so-called “Levitical shepherds” would wrap up the lambs in swaddling clothes to protect them. This is, of course, noteworthy, as it shows that the swaddling would have been an important connection point for the shepherds.
“What did they see?
“What did they see?” Sobel asked of the shepherds’ arrival at the site of Jesus’ birth. “A baby born in the same place that the Passover lambs were born, swaddled like a passover lamb, pointing to the fact that Messiah was the lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world.”https://www.faithwire.com/2017/12/14/the-incredible-significance-of-baby-jesus-being-wrapped-in-swaddling-clothes-after-his-birth/

From December 8 to December 17, LifeSite readers are invited to take part in a nine-day novena dedicated to the conversion of Pope Francis and restoration of the Catholic Church. Today’s novena is prayed by Timothy Flanders. The novena is organized by the Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima.
ReplyDeleteVatican is a dark place
Angie Veens Since its infiltration by freemasons, Marxists and heretics, in recent years under Jorge Bergoglio it has certainly become a dark place. But it won't remain so: "In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph" (the Blessed Virgin Mary).

ReplyDeleteJesus was a Jew ‘un juif’ he was born of a Jewish mother in Galilee, a Jewish part of Modern Israel, all his friends and associates were Jews, he worshipped in a communal Jewish church, that is known today as a Synagogue, he was born, lived and died a Jew. p.s ‘joyeux noel’
DeleteMerci bien and Joyeux Noël to you too.
ReplyDeleteFrank is a silly old man
ReplyDeleteIt is? Oh geez, now I’m going to want to go look at Nativities in the Churches here.
I like your comment Mina - but isn't 'geez' slang for 'Jesus'? Maybe not in your part of the world, lol.

ReplyDeleteget rid of religion and save the world
Paul Ragg it's precisely because true religion has been almost buried by the post-conciliar, Novus Ordo, Synodal Bergoglian sect that the world is not saved. But the true Catholic Church survives still, and always will.
DeleteElaine Mander ah - remind me again, who invaded whom? With frightful atrocities committed on Israeli citizens?

ReplyDeletePope Francis is NOT the antipope and we must never judge anyone! That's only for God to judge!
Linda Johnson here we go again ... Christ calls on us to judge what is good and what is evil, every day of our lives. It's called discernment and that's what our conscience is for. But we must judge only the deed, and not the doer of the deed, because that judgment belongs to Christ alone.
DeleteIt's simply not logical to witness Bergoglio's heresies and his rigged election and still believe he is the head of the Mystical Body of Christ.
DeleteLinda Johnson Judgement when used in that context refers to the FINAL judgement, which is reserved to the Lord - "Judgement is mine . ."
But when one person judges another, that is the virtuous act of discernment.
For example, if I disagree with your statement, I am exercising my judgement.
If you disagree with me, then you too are exercising judgement.
I hope that helps.
DeleteTerry Bowden Exactly. And we are supposed to judge right from wrong.
Maine Jellav except that we are to judge the deed as right or wrong, but not the doer of that deed, if wrong.

ReplyDeleteIt would be more worthy of Catholic charity to pray or offer prayers for Pope Francis than to spew scandal publicly.
Claudia Demasy-Richardson Aguilar as a Catholic journalist it's only charity that dictates I publish the facts in connection with the Church and Francis, and accept the criticism that inevitably follows.
DeleteI hope you can see that the scandal is generated by Francis, and is simply reported as fact by me. To conceal the truth is to be complicit in falsehood.
DeleteClaudia Demasy-Richardson Aguilar expecting charity from radtrads?
DeleteClaudia Demasy-Richardson Aguilar It is charity to point out error. The man whom you call “pope” is not even Catholic.
DeleteJulia du Fresne A journalist reports the facts, and leaves out interpretations or opinions of the facts. This piece is not journalism, but an op-ed. Stick to facts and leave out opinion. Let the readers decide for themselves.
DeleteClaudia Demasy-Richardson Aguilar journalists write op-eds. It comes with the territory.
DeleteClaudia Demasy-Richardson Aguilar São João Batista rezou ou denunciou Herodes??Basta de hipocrisia bergogliana!!!
Claudia Demasy-Richardson Aguilar
DeleteUnfortunately, propaganda is what they call journalism these days. Critically, well-formed judgments do not result from opinionated journalism, which only leads to bias and tribalism. Let everyone read the same facts and form judgments for themselves. The very first word in your article was an unnecessary adjective immediately discrediting objectivity, leading me to almost immediately stop going further; ie. I knew what I was getting and it was meant to sway my opinion—propaganda. I encourage you to up your game. A true journalist always leaves the audience guessing where the journalist actually stands.
Claudia Demasy-Richardson Aguilar, so journalists are not to have opinions? Not to write op-eds? Tell that to the Marines.
Delete"A true journalist always leaves the audience guessing where the journalist actually stands": that is all too often the M O of the so-called pope.
Christ calls all his people, journalists among them, to speak the truth and for someone in possession of the facts to call Bergoglio 'Pope' would be a lie.
ReplyDeleteI can’t tell whether he’s a tyrant or pushover/puppet. A tyrant for trads and pushover/puppets for globalists!!!
ReplyDeletePope Francis isn't even close to an anti-pope compared to other anti-popes. Peace between Israel and Hamas would be a good thing. We have to remember as Catholics that it is NOT our church. We are adopted into it by Jesus and Jesus will clean the church with the Holy Spirit when the time is right. It is our duty as Catholics to understand that and defend our church when she is under attack by lies from people who are NOT desiring holiness but attention.
John Darveaux this is not a matter for comparisons.
Delete"Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours" etc (St Teresa of Jesus). Jesus expects His people to act for Him, accordance with the Holy Spirit. It IS our Church; we are members of His Mystical Body.
And our Church has always been "under attack by lies from people who are NOT desiring holiness but attention". The difference now is that those people are within the hierarchy itself.
Robert Patlovany
DeleteJohn Darveaux Francis is objectively the worst pope in 2000 years. His quantifiable damage to the Roman Catholic Church OBVIOUSLY exceeds the damage to the Chruch from ALL PREVIOUS BAD POPES COMBINED!!! "It is our duty as Catholics to understand that and defend our church when she is under attack" from Francis himself and his band of modernists heretics contradicting the teaching authority of 100% of all pervious popes--EVEN THE 20+ CONFIRMED ANTI-POPES!!!!!
DeleteRobert Patlovany, agreed. Except he's not the worst pope in 2000 years because he is not and never has been, the pope.
ReplyDeleteAn antipope cannot exist except as a false rival to the real pope. Who is the real pope?
ReplyDeleteWhat if the real pope died and the antipope lived on?
DeleteStephen Crane that's exactly what happened. Benedict died and the antipope Francis lived on.
DeleteI’d wait for the Church to explain it to me. But that doesn’t alter the definition of antipope.
DeleteKevin Hicks The real pope was of course Benedict XVI.
DeleteJulia du Fresne He died. Now what?
Kevin Hicks now we have an antipope. And not of course for the first time in the history of the Church. The sky hasn't fallen.
Delete
DeleteJulia du Fresne So, no big deal then? Good to know.
Kevin Hicks it is a big deal of course, for the Body of Christ to lack a head on earth, and for so many years. But it has been prophesied that the Church must suffer her own Passion and Crucifixion in order to be conformed to her Mystical Spouse.

ReplyDeletePlease remove the “antipope” post …it is against the rules and I don’t want to turn you in to administrators. Be careful! Please!
DeleteRenee San Giacomo, thanks for your concern but to resile from the truth is impossible for a follower of Christ Who was crucified for the truth.
