Papal Fallacies

Pope Leo’s message the other week on war was appallingly inaccurate and not at all Biblically sound. But this is normal for the Bishop of Rome and his Roman Catholic Church.

It’s hard to even begin because so much is wrong with that message. But we have to start somewhere. So here we go. First and foremost, Jesus doesn’t answer prayers, the Father does. And believers don’t pray to Jesus. Prayers go to God the Father.

It is not Biblically accurate to address prayers to anyone but God the Father. As His Son Jesus taught the disciples how to pray and they taught the rest of us through the Word.

One does not pray to Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Mary, Joseph, any Saint, or anyone but God the Father. It is blasphemy to do any other prayers. Saints don’t intercede on our behalf. Another Roman Catholic falsehood. Prayers are always asked for in the name of Jesus but He is never prayed to directly.

It seems that, in a way, Pope Leo was correct. Jesus doesn’t hear or answer the prayers of warmongers. Because he doesn’t hear or answer the prayers of anyone. They go to the Father.

To say that God doesn’t hear or answer the prayers of “warmongers”, aka soldiers, officers, and national leaders, and those engaged in war is completely false as well.

The Old Testament is full of examples of God’s people going to war and praying for victory. Many times God answered these prayers and gave the people the victory they desired. Other times He did not. And these were not just wars of defense, some were wars of aggression. Perhaps if Pope Leo were to actually READ the Bible he would know these facts about God Almighty.

So the conclusion is obvious, God is not against war as a whole. Peace we know is a preferable path but it is not always obtainable. Wars are sometimes necessary and God does hear our prayers about it.

Don’t Take the Church with It

The death of Pope Francis is a sad thing as all deaths are, we mourn the loss. But he was a determent to Catholicism and Christendom. A progressive Leftist which I have written about a number of times over the course of years he lead the Roman Catholic Church. And he does not follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ or the teachings contained in the Holy Bible.

It is hoped that in his last hours he came to know the errors of his ways and sought forgiveness for his many sins. And thus came to know the Lord Jesus as his personal Savior. But I have my doubts and pray that I am wrong with them.

And now the Catholic Church must find a new Pope to lead them. To be the voice of the Church as it moves forward into the 21st century. It is sad to think that most of those eligible to vote in the upcoming Conclave have all been appointed by this wolf-in-sheep’s clothing. I fear for the Catholic Church and how far it may fall. Taking with it the billions of Catholics around the world.

False teachings within the Church need to be stamped out. There is only ONE path to God and Heaven where people can be saved. That is through believe in Jesus Christ. Any other path leads to damnation and a separation from God forever.

Additionally the Catholic Church must exorcise its authority over those who profess to be members yet their actions are in opposition to the teachings of the Church and Scripture. This is especially true when it comes to politicians.

Excommunication.

Interdiction.

These are the tools available to the Church, the Pope, Archbishops, Bishops, and Priests of the Faith. They should use them as they once did when wayward nobles thought they could go against the Church.

So to the Pope-to-be, we are watching. The true followers of the Faith are watching. God is watching. You must shepherd His flock which sometimes calls for a strong hand.

Do the right thing before God which many times is the wrong thing before man. Do not get caught up in what the World thinks or wants the Church to be or do. The world is going to hell. Don’t take the Church with it.
