As you probably know, I have no fondness for the teachings of the, until moments ago, current pope. As you may also know, I believe that he was the one prophesied by St Francis, himself, as being one who misleads many into sin and destruction.
So many prattle on about Pope Francis' "compassion" towards the needy. However, what good does it do to virtue-signal compassion for a few while leading a billion souls into, rather than out of, perdition, with thoroughly abominable anti-Christian doctrines on sexuality, gender, and so forth, and promoting the globalist and misanthropist lies about the climate, about CoViD-19 vaccines, promoting pagan deities and false religions alongside the true God and Christianity, and so on?
Perhaps God has saved that man's soul (though it is impossible to know, for me, at least), for God loathes losing any human soul, but, as Christ said, those who teach others to break God's law, even on the seemingly most insignificant issues, will be the lowest in the kingdom of Heaven, and what greater teacher is there than the leader of more than a billion believers?
I do not wish that the former pope goes into perdition. A soul can be precious. However, although Christ redeems our souls, by our own choices and actions we determine the content and, therefore, the value, of our souls and if that content is largely filth then there is little, or even nothing, worth saving. Are we treasure hidden in the field or just another pile of dung?
Many speak well of the former pope, including many among the worldly and wicked. To that, I have only this response:
Luke 6:26 ASV Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets.
May the Lord be glorified no matter who misrepresents His eternally holy and good nature. Trust in Him, not in any pope.
