Paths to God and Pope Francis

By Rich Kozlovich

Hagia Sophia converted into a mosque

Recently Pope Francis declared,  ‘All Religions Are a Path to Reach God’.  Remarkable, and this is from a Jesuit trained mind?  Okay, let's analyze that.  

Christians take the Biblical position that salvation comes only through Christ, and none of the other religions in the world teach that.  In point of fact, except for Christian faiths, they all eschew that as a religious concept. So, if that's true, and it is, that means they're teaching diametrically opposing things.  If that's true, and it is, then someone must be wrong.   If that's true, and it is, how could they all be paths to God?  

Also, if this "all religions lead to God" theme is a foundational truth, then that must have been true for all of human existence.  Right?   If that's true then we have to accept the idea the massive number of human sacrifices by the Aztecs in Mexico, and all the child sacrifices to Baal in the Middle East were acceptable expressions of faith leading to God.  Right?

One thing we absolutely know, the Pope didn't get that idea from reading the Bible, and we already know he's been on board with the Chinese Communists,  Muslims, global warmists, and unrestricted immigrationists.  He hates capitalism, hates America, and under this tutelage, church leaders have even openly flirted with homosexuality, and abortionists, which official church teaching condemns.   So, based on his history of what many Catholic leaders and lay people are openly calling heresy, why should anyone care what he thinks? 

Francis Slams Candidates’ Anti-life Convictions to Cover his own Convictions - Pope Francis is pointing fingers at *Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for their pro-abortion stance, the irony being that Francis has a history of collaborating with anti-life people. He's says we have to choose between the lesser of two evils in the upcoming presidential election, insinuating that Kamala Harris is the lesser of the two despite her fanatical pro-abortion position.

Well, we know Muslims don't really care what he thinks. In spite of his conciliatory tone with Islamists, they want to kill  him. Imagine that.

Francis thinks failing to destroy Christianity is a “grave sin”.  How so?   He claims rejecting the unrestricted migration of Muslims into western civilization, all of whom have a fanatical desire to impose Islam on Christians, in effect an immigration jihad, and doing it violently, is a grave sin. Imagine that. 

The idea of a religious war is anathema to western civilization, but western civilization doesn't have a say in that.  Muslims have been at war with the world for it's entire existence, and it's a religious war, an almost 1500 year religious war, and we really need to get that, and trust me, when I say this:  Based on Islamic history a goal of Islam is to turn the Vatican complex into a Mosque, just as they did the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, now Istanbul. 

 

All religions are paths to God?  Well, Muslims absolutely don't believe that, and leftist don't believe he exists, and based things the Pope and his cabal are promoting one has to wonder if they believe he exists.     You may wish to review my entire

Update 9/22/24:

• Pope Francis blasts Argentina 'repression,' says little about state brutality in Venezuela -  September 22, 2024 by Monica Showalter - Double standards, anyone? Is the pope a religious leader or a partisan politician? Well, you can decide. On Friday, the pope said he viewed a Sept. 12 video of the Argentinian authorities chasing out protestors against President Javier Milei's budget cuts with pepper spray. He stepped right up to criticize them like an opposition socialist pol............. If Maduro isn't evil to him, he has no business criticizing Milei.............
•   Pope Francis implies all religions are equivalent -  September 22, 2024 by Eric Utter - Pope Francis goes off the deep end again. Recently, while addressing an inter-religious meeting of young people in Singapore, Pope Francis stated that “every religion is a way to arrive at God.” Francis, who apparently deviated from his prepared speech and spoke extemporaneously, said that no religion should be given priority and that individuals should instead focus on parity between beliefs.  The preposterously progressive pontiff said, “Every religion is a way to arrive at God. There are different languages to arrive at God, but God is God for all. And how is God God for all? We are all sons and daughters of God. But my god is more important than your god, is that true?” He added, “There is only one God and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, they are different paths.” Huh?...........

BOMBSHELL: Vatican Whistleblower Archbishop Viganò Tells Bannon Why Trump’s Leadership Key to Defeated Deep State, Deep Church & Pope Francis’ Alliance with Red China

January 6, 2021 Neil W. McCabe

The former papal nuncio to the United States, now a retired archbishop, told Stephen K. Bannon that if Joseph R. Biden Jr., becomes the president Jan. 20, it is one more step in the linkage of the so-called Deep State, the Deep Church and the ultimate primacy of the Chinese Communist Party.

“It would be an irreparable disaster if Joe Biden, who is heavily suspected of being complicit with the Chinese dictatorship, would be designated as President of the United States,” said Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who from 2011 to 2016 served at the Holy See’s ambassador to the Washington, a role that also made him the principal liaison between the American bishops and the pope and the Vatican bureaucracy.

The archbishop said he was troubled by the power of the mainstream media to overwhelm legitimate questions about the 2020 presidential election.

The rest of the world is watching to see if America and its democratic system will hold up, he said. “If it allows the idea to spread among the masses that the electoral choice of the citizens – the first expression of democracy – can be manipulated and thwarted, it will be complicit in the fraud, and will certainly deserve the execration of the entire world, which looks to America as a nation which has fought for and defended its freedom.”

Bannon, the host of the “Bannon’s War Room,” asked the former Vatican diplomat: “Against all odds, average Americans are fighting to expose the massive and coordinated theft of our election: What advice would you give to our recalcitrant politicians about what is at stake for our nation and the world if we submit to this theft?”

Viganò said the fight to secure President Donald J. Trump as the legitimate winner of 2020 presidential election is the fight to see if America itself survives............To Read More.....

 

Zone of Reality: Castro Notes

By Rich Kozlovich

This article by Humberto Fontova has made me realize how important it is to speed up the process of linking his articles. I will link at least one a day until I run out of links. There are a number of disturbing issues here.

Fontova asks an important question when he says; "I don’t claim expertise in ecclesiastical matters. But before granting absolution the Catholic Church, I’m fairly sure, still requires contrition—sincere contrition." Perhaps we should take a at look what contrition really is.

Does anyone really believe this monster capable of contrition? Contrition is part and parcel of repentance. The original root word for repentance means to "turn about". How has this man "turned about"? Does he acknowledge his guilt, i.e. sin, for the murder of untold thousands of innocents? Has he acknowledged that he has spread death and violence all over the world, and acknowledge that these actions were "sins"? Has he returned all the wealth he stole from all the people he took it from? Tell me; how has he "turned about"? At this point Fidel Castro remains an accredited socialist monster of the 20th century. How has he 'turned about'?

I think the most disturbing part of this article is the statement that; “Pope John Paul II remarked that he was “reserving judgment on Che Guevara who had served the poor.”So John Paul II was going to reserve judgement on another 'accredited socialist monster' of the 20th century, who was even more sadistic than Castro?

I am sorry, but these people are at the center of information. They are not beguiled by the media like the general public is, because the Vatican has information resources that are typical of a government that wishes to know what is really going on in the world. It is impossible for that Pope, or today’s Pope, to not know what a monster Che really was.

One can make the argument that Castro kind of has him in a bind; because if he goes there and Castro asks to be forgiven and taken back in the fold; it is his job to take the Christian high road regarding forgiveness and do so. Baloney! He doesn’t have to go there at all!

Will the Pope Absolve Fidel Castro?

Pope Benedict XVI will visit Cuba in March. Two of Italy’s top newspapers are reporting that Fidel Castro will avail himself of the visit to confess his sins and be accepted back into the Catholic Church, which excommunicated him in 1962.

“During this last period, Fidel has come closer to religion,” says Castro’s estranged daughter Alina who lives in Miami. “He has rediscovered Jesus" at the end of his life. It doesn’t surprise me because dad was raised by Jesuits.”

A baptized and confirmed Catholic, but lifelong layman, I don’t claim expertise in ecclesiastical matters. But before granting absolution the Catholic Church, I’m fairly sure, still requires contrition—sincere contrition.

On his 1998 visit to Cuba, Pope John Paul II remarked that he was “reserving judgment on Che Guevara who had served the poor.” Upon greeting the Cuban ambassador to the Holy See in 2005, this same pontiff hailed Cuba’s “gains in health care and education.” The above makes patently obvious that, on matters Cuban, the Vatican references the same media and academic sources gleefully bestowed Havana bureaus and visas by the Castro regime. Heaven knows the Vatican is not alone on this.
