    • LOL.  I saw that.  It would be fun to do a variation of it with some of the more, uh, un-pope-like quotes.

    • Hmm, let's see: Do I want to be like Francis? A man who has injured Our Lord through his perfidy so egregiously, he'll be in the same layer of Hell as sodomites and Jєωs? No, I'm actually Catholic - thank you very much.

    • Vatican 2 is like a drug.

    Every church official who endorses it is drunk with "joy"
    meanwhile the church falls apart and is set to dwindle dramatically until it no longer exists.
    They are drunk I tell ya. this rebellion against truth that happened when the church turned on its own traditions has people willingly delusional.

    They're drunk and blind, which is a lethal mix.

    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

    • This one's been making the rounds on FB (a dear, dear friend of mine, one of the V2/Frank fans but she's really old and I give her a pass — even though this photo quote made me dry heave this week):



    I think there's an implication that the Church has suggested that Sainthood is a privilege for the few, but now Frank's here to straighten everyone out on some kind of "miscommunication".

    Then there's the "everyone" part. How can one hope to be a Saint if ...they're not even Catholic? (And that pic of Frank with the beady eyes... I just can't bear it.)

    Maybe I'm nit-picking, but there's just something way OFF about this quote. And something definitely OFF about that whole evang. group, "Word on Fire," which made the meme (or "inspirational quote"; whatever you call that picture). —Just look at their logo with fire burning the "Word". I get the Holy Spirit/fire reference, but to me, that logo looks like someone burning the Word of God. The site icon is black with a fire in it.

    Plus, the Methodists use that flame thing as their "logo"; I'd thought the group was Methodist at first, just quoting Frank the Humble! But nope: there's a "priest", Fr. Barron, who runs that corporation and sells things through it. He (or someone in the corporation) has a DVD series called "the seven LAST words of Christ," as if Our Lord finished speaking in 33AD while on the cross. As in, nevermind the Gospels with MORE WORDS from Our Lord, I suppose? Everytime I've heard "the seven last words" referenced, the "on the cross" has been emphasized equally! Because ours is a Living God! It just gets under my skin when so-called "catholics" can't get right what even the Protestants are careful with.

    (And with that DVD title, I closed the tab.)

    • The quote IS a a tad 'off' or clumsy.  I think it should read "To be a Saint........"

    Also, since when is sainthood a vocation?  

    "What is your vocation?" someone could ask.

    "Sainthood"     Who would ever reply like that?    Maybe Jorge the Humble would, but no saint would.

    You may strive to be a saint, as you live in this world as a nun, or preacher or married person or some other vocation.

    Knew you not that “The Seven Last Words” is an expression with a specific meaning in traditional Catholic devotion?
    For example, in this book of Lenten mediations

    • OK, I'll grant you that, but I still think to use the word 'vocation' is a bit awkward & secular.  
    What's wrong with simply using what Romans says - "...., are called to be saints.'?
