It's possible, or else he could be referring to some other time in history.

I do believe that the Prophecy of St. Francis is being lived
out today, especially ever since October 1958.
Just compare what Pope Pius X11 and his predecessors
would have taught, and would have done, and compare
it to what Pope John XXlll and his successors taught, and
done. It is an entirely different ecclesi :incense:ology.

I agree with Caminus that this expression does not unequivocally point to an Antipope--though it could.

Raoul, I said nothing more here than that THIS QUOTE does not point unequivocally to an Antipope.

I know, just wanted to point out this is about more than a "Pope."  One of my pet peeves is when people act as if we're just dealing with an individual Pope who happens to have some questionable views, rather than with an organized takeover.  Lather, rinse, repeat.  We go through the same process with each Pope, acting as if they are autonomous beings, but THEY'RE ALL FROM THE SAME STOCK.  Just as real Popes all guard the deposit of faith, these guys all guard the deposit of confusion, ambiguity and lies.  There is nothing more to be expected from that quarter,  any more than there is anything to be expected from the American government.  Come out of her, my people, so ye be not partakers of her sins, etc.

I agree on the quote.  But after Ladislaus said that Ratzinger's view of the resurrection was "rather beautiful" or something to that effect I have been on his case.  Ladislaus is like Caminus with a slightly more sede-leaning veneer.  I don't even know who I'm talking to anymore.  I'm basically tilting at windmills at this point.

I try to remain as objective as possible.  I think that we all need to be that way lest we be led into error and even a false bitter zeal.

If Benedict XVI says something good or true, I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I said that (I think he was just Father when he made the statement on Resurrection) Ratzinger could have been saying something rather "profound" in his statements on the Resurrection--even if the language might have been very poor at times.

Theologians agree that our souls find completion only when united with our bodies, i.e. that our souls are in an incomplete state somehow until they're reunited with our bodies, so that the Resurrection entails not merely a restoration or resuscitation of the bodies but a completion of our souls as well, thus a Resurrection of the person.  I don't see anything wrong with that and actually think it's interesting.

With that said, there does appear once again this modernist hubris, this tendency towards gnosticism, in the implicit disparagement of those who held a "crass" or "narrow" or "primitive" view of the subject.  In point of fact, pre-V2 theologians have spoken of this completion of the soul at Resurrection well before he did. I remember discussing something along these lines during classes at the seminary in Winona.

If more of the words of St Francis were provided, it would be easier to tell what he is referring to. What is the source of quote?
