Protip: @Joseph a' Christian If you love St. Athanasius, try following his example. He stayed in communion with the Pope despite disagreeing with him. onepeterfive.com/sedevacantism-luciferianism/

"therefore I reject Francis." The streetsign you just passed after writing that comment said "Schismatic Land"

@frawley False Francis blatantly rejects our Lord Jesus, therefore I reject Francis. False Francis and his homosexual false bishops have opposed our Savior Jesus' Holy teachings numerous times.
I love our Faithful Popes and Bishops: Saint Pope Pius X, Pope Leo, Faithful Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria, Bishop St. Charles Borromeo...
Faithless heretics robbed and deceived at Vatican 2, we must be extremely careful who we follow since this revolt/theft of bishops offices since this evil event from the 1960's.
Protestants have false bibles, thousands of differing beliefs, many despise our Catholic Church...
.
Almighty God bless us in the One Catholic Church, our Lord Jesus.

It's when we are faced with a POPE who appears to have a problem continuing the same Traditions as every OTHER Pope that we should view him with caution, and not submit to novelties that cause schism.

The normal practice is to pray for his conversion, I find it unwise to "Pray for his intentions" since he has got some odd intentions.

So, when I pray, it is to ask Our Lord to allow the Pope to do His Will. so that nothing he does/says will offend the Most High.

We must pray to God that He gives us the Blessing of an Orthodox TRUE Pope asap!

It is not "Protestant" to resist an Anti-Catholic Pope. It would be "Protestant" to give him all our support even when he preaches heresy and writes Encyclicals that sound like a New Ager wrote them.

One of the marvelous things I discovered, is that if you take an encyclical from 3 different Popes from 1st century to Pius XII, and compare their style, it seems as though the same person has written them all! It is clearly the Holy Spirit.
The encyclicals written by Popes since Vatican II are very ambiguous in tone, - lack clarity and don't appear to have been written by the same Author.

Resisting error, must be our approach if we hope to gain Heaven for ourselves. As we flee from sin !- So, must we not give in to error! We must not convert to being outside the Traditional Church just because we mistakenly believe that a Pope must be trusted. We are living through the time of a promised Chastisement! He could be allowed to be in power as a Fidelity Trial, a Test to us from Christ. Take care!

He is not a pope, but uncatholic antipope. He has not have faith, he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Dom Prosper Guéranger, The Liturgical Year, Vol. 4, p. 379, on how a layman of the 5th century resisted and condemned Nestorius, his bishop, when he demonstrated manifest heresy: “It was then that Satan produced Nestorius… enthroned in the Chair of Constantinople… In the very year of his exaltation, on Christmas Day 428, Nestorius, taking advantage of the immense concourse which had assembled in honor of the Virgin Mother and her Child, pronounced from the Episcopal pulpit the blasphemous words: ‘Mary did not bring forth God; her Son was only a man, the instrument of the Divinity.’ The multitude shuddered with horror. Eusebius, a simple layman, rose to give expression to the general indignation, and protested against this impiety. Soon a more explicit protest was drawn up and disseminated in the name of the members of this grief- stricken Church, launching an anathema against anyone who should dare to say: ‘The Only-begotten Son of the Father and the Son of Mary are different persons.’ This generous attitude was the safeguard of Byzantium, and won the praise of popes and councils. When the shepherd becomes a wolf, the first duty of the flock is to defend itself.”
