    Pope Denies Jesus' Miracle

    For the past few months the news of the pope has been at a noise level that is indistinguishable from the talking point memos coming from CNN and the Democrats - the pope addresses globull warming, open borders, free healthcare, giving bone relics to the Russians, outraged cathylicks calling for the pope's impeachment, trade wars with the Vatican's favorite currency the wafer, groveling to mooselimbs, commie chinks and Amazon spear chuckers, and the continuing saga of the Vatican's favorite deep state activity - sodomy.

    This past month the pope reached a new high - denying Jesus' miracle of the loaves and fishes (Matthew 14:14-21, John 6:5-14) - triggering a new installment of Pope Watch.

    The pope seems to think there was no miracle involved here, and without a nearby Arthur Treacher's Fish and Loaves takeout in the desert, they just had to share five barley loaves and two small fishes with a crowd of 5,000 men (not including women and children) - no doubt taking a cue from Obama about "sharing" the wealth.

    So there's 5,000 men, and let's say they brought their wives, now 10,000, and then the children - maybe we're looking at a total of 20,000? Then afterward the leftovers filled 12 baskets - nah, no "miracle" here, that's how socialism works for the "new" pope - just "share" like to do in Venezuela where everyone is starving.

    From an entertainment perspective, Francis is gaining on perpetual gaffe man slow Joe Biden, but has a freshly minted badge of Blasphemy to pin to his gay vestments.

    Francis in his own words: There was no 'multiplication' of loaves: it was just 'sharing'.

    In his own words:

    Surprisingly, the account of the multiplication of the loaves does not mention the multiplication itself. On the contrary, the words that stand out are: “break”, “give” and “distribute” (cf. Lk 9:16). In effect, the emphasis is not on the multiplication but the act of sharing. This is important. Jesus does not perform a magic trick; he does not change five loaves into five thousand and then to announce: “There! Distribute them!” No. Jesus first prays, then blesses the five loaves and begins to break them, trusting in the Father. And those five loaves never run out. This is no magic trick; it is an act of trust in God and his providence.

    So instead of five loaves becoming five thousand, five loaves become five infinite loaves? Because there's "no magic".

    OK, Frankie: if they were "infinite" loaves, that "never run out", where are they now? Why aren't we sending them them off to continue feeding the hungry, if they "never run out"?

    And the math geek in me interjects: if He could make ONE infinite loaf, that'd satisfy the entire job-lot. The other four are superfluous.

    I'd love to just laugh at his superstition (and the idiotic lengths gone to to support that superstition), but the Church's history of rape (not only children, but of cultures, economies, basically anything that's come into contact with Rome) makes it impossible.

      Oh, my goodness, dear Brother WilliamJenningsBryan: Well, this comes as no surprise to those of us who are believers in the miracles of the . This statement from Francis is sure to garner some controversy within his church. But, the Cathyolicks have been fooled for centuries, thinking that curtsying to statues will get them into Heaven. So, they will probably just ignore this latest bit of news (like they've been ignoring the truth about the sex scandals between priests and boys), and keep on trotting up to the rails for their crackers & wine.

      And, speaking of wine, did you notice the number of bottles on the table where Francis was seated? Goodness, gracious, me! He was probably half-corked when he made that statement!

        Pope Francis is an atheist. He's made it very clear that he doesn't believe in Satan, and there's no evidence he believes in God. Also he's a Darwinist, which is completely incompatible with the Bible. Maybe he believes in Jesus, I don't know. If he does, he probably calls Him "the Virgin Mary's son, whatever his name was."
        I was sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore,
        Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more;
        But the Master of the Sea heard my despairing cry,
        From the waters lifted me, now safe am I!

          This photo is clearly edited or cleverly cropped, because I can't even see the altar boy that is causing that moment-of-release expression on Pope Frank there.

            Oh, yes, you are so correct here, dear Brother Dr. Ville. That photo must have been edited in one way or another -- there is no way to tell how many boys are under that table. But that should come as no surprise to those who know the tricks that those Cathyolicks will pull to fool the public. It reminds me of when they bring out their infamous stunt about the weeping statue of Mary, photo attached, expecting that we, the servants of the should believe such nonsense.

              I object to "This is no magic trick"! It is most certainly a "magic trick" - a "magic trick" is exactly what a miracle is!

              The subtle difference is that this "magic" is the demonstrated Power of the Lord! It is no "party trick"; it is not at all the same as witchcraft, or the acts of false gods or man.
