  • Don't forget Fatima- 
    Ratzinger, Sodano and Bertone put out that fraudulent (by omission) third secret in 2000...plus the continued promulgation of the fake Sister Lucy. It's all so awful. I pray he repented. There is so much to repent from.

  • It wouldn't be "nice" to speak ill of dead false shepherds who spent a lifetime dedicated to the destruction of as many souls as possible. No, let us pray for Luther's soul too while we're at it.
    You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy. But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust. - Matthew 5:43-45 DRB

    Just keep this in mind.

  • Apparently, she really is a moron.  Her own readers are pointing out to her that she has now embraced sedevacantism, and her response is that they are evil?

    She says that it’s too obvious to have to explain why they’re wrong. 

    ...

    Woman, shut up already!

    With all her talks about narcissism, this woman is an extreme (diabolical?) narcissist.  You can practically see it in her eyes.

    Yes, after all, we can't know whether he sent souls to Hell either. :facepalm:

  • Technically yes, but is the efficacy of prayer limited to the time it’s offered?  Couldn’t God use prayer for someone after their death and apply it to give them the grace to repent before they died, if that makes sense?

    Yes, God is not bound by time.  He can see prayers offered in the future and take them into account as the individual is dying.  Whether God DOES is a different question (Padre Pio seemed to think so), but it's beyond dispute that He CAN.

  • To be clear I’m not necessarily denying this but can someone explain to me HOW this works since presumably the papacy isn’t an actual sacrament like episcopal consecration is?

    Right, but theologians hold that people receive various "graces of state" even outside the Sacraments per se.

  • 1. May God have mercy on him, and let perpetual light shine upon him. I wish him no evil.

    This thread should have just ended with this. Be careful my brothers and sisters in Christ. Let's not make this similar to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg thread where we judge the dead and condemn Benedict to hell.

    Do you believe Hell is empty?

  • I think the primary cause of ++Ratzinger’s abdication was that just a few days prior, he announced he was convening a special synod to investigate charges of widespread pedophilia and Satanism in the Vatican.

    This is also when Vatileaks arose, and A Vatican butler was jailed for stealing incriminating docuмents.

    Getting rid of “the Rat” was the fαɢs’ #1 priority, and Jorge was their man.

    I have a different theory.  Ratzinger's job, the one for which he was groomed by being re-invented as a Traditionlist, God's "Rottweiler" and "enforcer" by administering worthless slaps on the wrist to the likes of Kung and Rahner, was to re-absorb SSPX and Traditional Catholicism.  When he failed due to the infamous Bishop Williamson interview, he was told to step aside and make way for Jorge to take the destruction to the next level.

    I never said hell was empty. "Hell is a state to which the wicked are condemned, and in which they are deprived of the sight of God for all eternity, and are in dreadful torments." (Baltimore Catechism). But respecting the dead and not wishing hell upon them is purely catholic. Why can't we hope that Benedict went to heaven?

    This isn't about wishing or hoping anything.  It's about looking at the facts of this man's life and the chances of whether he actually converted and repented.  95 years of spouting and teaching heresy AS THE PURPORTED VICAR OF CHRIST.  No one has stated that he is definitely in Hell, but his chances don't look so good.  His chance of converting after 95 years is as likely as my 86 year old Jєωιѕн father converting before he died.

    There's still about six hours left and Francis is infirm. It's entirely possible.

     The day’s not over yet, at least not for about another four hours Rome time.   Francis didn’t look so good on EWTN this afternoon.

     True, Benedict did not die at night, but you never know.

    Probably more wishful thinking on my part than anything else.

    .

    Um, it should be self-evident that any such prophecy is a false prophecy. :laugh1:
