Pope Francis, in truth, was an enemy of Europe — a frank judgment, devoid of animus but rich in honesty. He was an enemy, yes — not as inimicus, a personal adversary in the fleeting drama of human affairs, but as hostis: a spiritual, essential, existential adversary. From the day of his ascent to the Supreme Pontificate on March 13, 2013, by the will of the College of Cardinals, the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires never once concealed his feelings — and in this, one must concede, he was at least sincere. He, the Pope “from the end of the world,” despised Europe — geographically, spiritually, and in terms of identity. He saw in Europe — as prescribed by the tenets of Liberation Theology, which long sought in Latin America to fuse Christ with Marx and class struggle with ethnic antagonism — the epicenter of capitalism and colonialism, a primal guilt that could be expiated only by Europe’s self-negation and by her transformation into a no-man’s-land for the dispossessed of every continent.
I hope he rots in hell.
Not to worry, he will.
Catholics aren’t Christian’s! Read Foxes Book of Martyrs…nuff said
I am the way, no man comes to the Father except through me. Christ (Xristos/The Way) was very clear about his views on organized religion. It wasn’t until the Constantine shift in the third century A.D. that the word kouriokos (sacred place or thing, church) was subbed in for the original ecclesias (those called forth, flock).
Thank you for your input. It was 321 A.D. that the Council of Nicaea voted on Jesus Christ being elevated to the status of God. This is in spite of 47 times in the New Testament he is called the son of God. Nowhere was he called God the son. He was born, he had a beginning, God was his father. He was not with God in the beginning creating the heavens and the earth.
Not satisfied with this new doctrine, it was time for the council of Constantinople in 381 A.D. They moved the holy spirit into what is now revered in most Christian denominations as the trinity.
Who the next pope will be means little as this trinitarian dogma developed hundreds of years ago is still alive and well. Jesus Christ is our lord and savior, to whom we are forever indebted. When he is put in proper position, God gets his deserved praise as the one true God.
Stan, I salute you on your understanding. I was taught that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. A careful reading of Scripture will confirm that Jesus was none of those things. He also answered the rich young ruler by saying, “Why do you call me good? There is none good but God.” He always deferred to the Father.
The Trinity is found nowhere in Scripture. You are correct in your reading of church history. In my view, the Holy Spirit is just another description for the Father, assuming He is a spiritual being, why not?
Roth Harbard, thank you very much. You made my day. I have talked to many people over years challenging the doctrine of the trinity. I could count on one hand those that would give it any consideration.
For the most part, tradition supersedes truth in the denominations. Have a wonderful day!

You’re welcome.
That last sentence just shows what a dumbass Marxist he really was. He was Political, *not* Spiritual.
