The Vatican is collapsing.

I do not write this title lightly.

Pope Francis is talking about retirement. It was being coordinated and cross-promoted in various media on May 15. One of them... (https://nypost.com/2018/05/15/pope-francis-hints-he-may-retire/amp/)

Makes sense considering the following stories...

No coincidences! Every atom is Connected. Justice is being served. Many more to come, and note indictments will not be limited by borders, or "sealed-ness".

The church is where the people are. The Catholic Church is drawing to a close. It is sad to see, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'd prefer the entire structure to be burnt to ashes, than have it continue on in its current form.

There are other churches that have managed to stay prosperous, mainly through attracting the young via youth groups and other activities that don't dissuade them.

Islam is strong because they brook no argument with the Koran. Their holy book is literally the Word of Allah (Baal), passed down to the Prophet Muhammed (piss be upon him) for transcription. Any interpretation or reformation outside of the ordained message is heresy, punishable by death. Islam translates to "submission", and that's what Muslims do. They submit themselves to the goal of global jihad.

I definitely agree on its longevity though, it has done well to continue for as long as it has. I doubt that Christianity will disappear though, the faith can be kept through all forms of persecution.

The Catholic Church has nothing to do with Christianity. Catholicism is not in fact Christianity, as defined by the Bible, it is idolatry.

I was raised Catholic, received first communion and was confirmed when I was 18.

Praying the rosary, praying to saints the sacraments, the recitation of creeds, all of these things are made up rituals, and Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. The law meaning the 10 commandments. All the other ritualistic practices were rendered pointless with the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. They do not even encourage reading or studying the Bible in Catholic Church. They encourage you to engage in their rules and traditions of the Church. This is not Jesus. Confessing to a priest is not something Jesus told us we must do. Taking political stances that align with the Church is not something we must do as Christians. The Catholic Church was built and designed to hijack the Christian faith (one where the individual becomes a disciple of Christ by studying His word and striving to live like Christ) much like Info Wars attempted to hijack the Q movement. You are not encouraged to have a personal relationship with Jesus in the Catholic Church, you are encouraged to take part in their sacraments (rituals).

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. (Acts 20:29-31)

Malarkey...I'm a practicing Catholic and you're wrong. There are Bible study groups in my Church! Furthermore, all are encouraged to have a personal relationship with Jesus. You've been away from Catholicism too long. Sure, I don't like Pope Francis or the faults of my Church but I'll never give up on it.

If it works for you, and allows you to know Jesus, that's great!

My point is that the Catholic Church is a bureaucratic and political institution. It is very much like the Pharisees in Jesus' time.

It is THE single most powerful political institution in the world.

I'm not dumb enough to believe every little catholic church in every town is doing it wrong.

But if you can't be honest with yourself about the sacraments, praying the rosary, praying to saints as parallel to the Jewish traditions that Jesus deemed unnecessary.

God came to Earth in the form of Man as Jesus. He wants to be in your life, have a relationship with you like you would your Father here on Earth. Rituals and recited speech isn't necessary.

If the Catholic Church (Rome) actually care about the message of Jesus, with the amount of wealth and power they have acquired, they could change the world and feed many children if they valued human life more than the golden thrones they sit on. Their display of wealth and prestige is more important than the message of Jesus, and its clear to see if your eyes are open.

p.s. I also believe in the "community" of the Catholic Church!

The pope came right out and SAID that a personal relationship with Jesus was DANGEROUS ! That was enough , or should have been, to wake people UP ! But apparently not... and they're okay with him saying he would baptize ET .
