Francis: “God does Not Exist! … There is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!”

October 9, 2014. Exactly 56 years since the death of Pope Pius XII. Vatican Radio publishes a summary of the “Pope’s” latest homily, quoting him as follows:

So often [people ask]: 'But do you believe?': 'Yes! Yes! '; 'What do you believe in?'; 'In God!'; 'But what is God for you?'; 'God, God'. But God does not exist: Do not be shocked! So God does not exist! There is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, they are persons, they are not some vague idea in the clouds ... This God spray does not exist! The three persons exist!
(“Pope at Santa Marta: What we dare not hope for”, News.va, Oct. 9, 2014)

Just brilliant. This from the man who said “There is no Catholic God.” Hopefully this idiocy does not require further comment. We defy Francis to say what he just said, to Jєωs and Muslims. (Remember, he believes they worship the same god he worships, but they explicitly reject the Most Holy Trinity.) Somehow we don’t recall him preaching the Three Divine Persons to Jєωs and Muslims. Instead, he hosted interreligious prayer to “God” with them at the Vatican. Francis may mockingly refer to “God Spray”, but it is Catholic dogma that God is a pure spirit: “God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth” (Jn 4:24).

As one member of the Novus Ordo curia is reported to have said about Francis, “His health is bad, so at least this won’t last too long” (source).
On this October 9, pray for the repose of the soul of the last true Holy Father, Pius XII. Nothing has been the same since his passing. A whole new religion was formed after his death, occupying the Catholic structures throughout the world. All the trouble began at the suspicious conclave that followed the Pope’s death in 1958.
Kyrie, eleison.

Thanks for the report.  

I do understand what the "pope" is trying to say...he's trying to defend the Most Holy Trinity...but...he should pick a better way of doing it.

You think so?  Then why tell his audience not to be shocked?  Many people will claim that this is "obviously" what he's trying to say, but I do not think they really do "understand" at all.  This is merely what the more "conservative" Catholics will want to believe it is what he was trying to say.

It seems that such an interpretation can be made, but it is by no means the only or even the most obvious interpretation.  This is even after I read the entire article on the Vatican Radio website.

No.  He is intentionally saying things that can have multiple interpretations and is, like all Modernists, intentionally being vague.  He is no better than Arius or any of the heresiarchs we know through history.  Why anyone considers him to be a Catholic, let alone a pope, is something that I simply cannot understand.

Yeah, what he's trying to say, ever so ineptly, is that there's no such thing as a non-personal god, some kind of impersonal force.

But "God does not exist" is an utterly idiotic expression from anyone who has had a modicuм of Catholic theological training.

Again, I ask...why do you think so?  Why are you so sure?  He's saying something that is blasphemous and you're suggesting merely an "inept" way of saying what he "really" meant.  

Why should I...and everyone...not simply assume he meant what he actually said.  After all, this was a sermon, a prepared speech.  I think too many people give him credit for having at least a modicuм of faith.

You sedevacantist dolts.

I'm sure that Francis doesn't believe in the existence of God, and yet believes in the existence of the Holy Trinity (which I suppose then must not be God).  He's obviously just tripping over his own brain.

Perhaps Frank the Fumbler does mean what Ladislaus attributes to his words.  But I am quite skeptical.  I do recognize that Frank isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.  But it's quite disconcerting that neo-con conciliarists spend more time telling us what the "pope" really means than Jay Carney spent telling us what obama means.  I believe that the primary product of Frank's dumbness is not his gaffeing words, but rather his overplaying his modernist hand.

I believe that instead of Frank the Fumbler we're dealing with Frank the Fraud.  Consider this clause:  ". . . they are persons, they are not some vague idea in the sky . . . This God spray does not exist!"

At least two interrelated things at play here.  He is making the Holy Trinity out to be more like persons in the sense of human persons--your chum down the street--and poopooing the notion of "God in the sky" or "God spray."  It seems to me that he IS NOT PROTECTING THE HOLY TRINITY, but is rather attacking the omniscience, and ultimately the divinity, thereof.

To all of those eager to spin some backass angle of Catholicism out of Frank's words, your dribble would be more valuable watering down a dusty hog lot.

It is the Church Herself only who can ever judge sede-vacante, not individual Catholics.

You talk as if the Church is some sort of autonomous being capable of making a judgment absent individuals.  What do you think the Church is?  She is the collection of all faithful Catholics--individually.  The Church can only declare what is first perceived by individual Catholics.  There are priests and bishops who have seen the truth and their judgment is backed up by millennia of sound Catholic doctrine.
