The internet finally figured out who Francis looks like

[Levi Jones]

We all noticed in 2005 that Ratzinger looked like Palpatine from Star Wars.


But it looks like the new pope also looks like someone famous.

I knew he looked like Rob Halford!

Well! You learn something new everyday, if you keep your eyes open. I had no idea that the pope was a chef. No doubt, this is his specialty:

I figured that, like most of the Romanist lowerarchy, he'd prefer this:



Do you know whom else His Unholiness resembles?

Re: The internet finally figured out who Francis looks like

The internet is indeed a safe-haven from the Papist-biased-media. I'm so sick of hearing the mainstream media claim that the Catholic Church is somehow progressive now because they chose a pope from Latin America. After only, you know, 500 YEARS.

That's their talking point: "The Catholic Church: modernizing so fast, we're only 500 years behind the times!"

Re: The internet finally figured out who Francis looks like

Maybe this needs a thread all its own, but could a Catholic please register and explain to us:

Nationality of Popes:

1 from the entire Western Hemisphere
1 From Poland.
1 From the Netherlands
1 From England
1 From the Holy Land
2 From Spain
2 from Portugal,
3 from (Roman) Libya
6 from (Byzantine) Syria
8 from Germany
13 from Greece,
17 from France
217 from Italy

Why God's Infallable BBF is almost always from Italy? I mean, does the Catholic god have macaroni-fever or something?

Brother, while we're at it, why can it take so long for the cardinal electors to choose the next pope? Does the Catholic god have a stuttering problem?

I thought Brother Bathfire got a good likeness here in Word Association

There is but one God and He answers not to you or any other cultist who questions His way of choosing His spokesman here on earth.

God knows well in advance who His next Pope will be but it is His plan to include the estimable college of Cardinals in the spiritual discussion to help maintain the high standards the Roman Catholic Church is known for.

Remember... a billion believers can't be wrong and neither can our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please feel free to return to your double-wide (and I know that can be both your home or 'wife') and leave the business of Godly worship to the original and only true Christians.



Bless you, my Ketchup connoisseur,

Urk. I thought you'd crope off in shame.

However since you've turned up No, we don't expect God to justify His choice of spokesman.

He chose Jesus.

End of story.

Although Jesus did explain what came afterwards, after His ascension.

I don't usually refer to the Douay-Rheims travesty, but will lower the tone here for a moment due to your limited understanding. The Pastors will delete my post if I submit anything inappropriate.

The Holy Spirit Promised

JOHN 16
5b And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.
9-11 Of sin: because they believed not in me. And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer. And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
Douay-Rheims .. NOTE IN PARTICULAR the origin of the "spokesman" idea mentioned by Mr Lester

The section header is also from the Douay-Rheims and I've included that to demonstrate that there is no doubt that The Paraclete is The Holy Spirit. We have our spokesman.

Here is the actual passage from the Authorized Version, together with supporting evidence from Joel.

JOHN 16
5-6 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10-12 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13-15 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

JOEL 2
28-32a And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered:
AV .. Hallelujah!

Re: The internet finally figured out who Francis looks like

This just in: Satan chose Francis to be the newest leader of the Antichrist Cult of Rome.

That's nonsensical even by the standards of Catholic teaching. If God knows well in advance, why does He need to involve the pedophile-enablers in red beanies?

Romans 11:34: For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

Remember... a billion believers can't be wrong

They can be if they believe in the wrong thing:

Matthew 7:13-14: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Remember that there are about 1.6 billion mooselimbs in the world. By your logic, you'd have to convert to Is-lame.
