…that the next Pope hails from Africa.
Not because of any concern over diversity for diversity’s sake mind you but quite the opposite: it is very likely an African Pope will actually and forcefully promote Catholic doctrine.
Bishops in Malawi declare ‘blessings for same-sex unions of any kind are not permitted’
Bishops in Malawi have prohibited the implementation of the Vatican declaration on the blessing of “same-sex couples” and couples in other “irregular situations,” Fiducia Supplicans, which the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) released Dec. 18.
In a two-page statement dated Dec. 19, members of the Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM) offered “clarification on the declaration on the pastoral meaning of blessings, Fiducia Supplicans” and stated that they prohibit the practice of such blessings in the southern African nation.
“We direct that for pastoral reasons, blessings … for same-sex unions of any kind are not permitted in Malawi,” ECM members said in their collective statement.
The Church leaders’ directive prohibiting the blessings “for same-sex unions of any kind” in the country follows a four-point clarification of the latest Vatican declaration….

I sometimes wonder what god this pope prays to, because it isn't the one from the bible I am familiar with.

Here in Alabama many of the conservative Episcopalians have bolted to Anglican churches under the supervision of African bishops.

The Catholic Church lost their way and credibility long ago. The Pope has been a false prophet for decades. The Vatican is controlled by the elites.

Amen brother.
I was praying that Bishop Arinzi from Africa would be elected instead of ratzinger.
Now I pray for Bishop Sarah of Africa. God help us.
Not my will but your will be done.

It is pretty sad when you seriously have to wonder if the Pope is a real Catholic.

African Christians are the most based, for sure. Maybe equally with Chinese Christians.
I imagine Christianity makes a much bigger difference in your life when there's a decent likelihood you'll be raped, killed, or jailed indefinitely by the government just because you follow Jesus Christ.

Not a Catholic, but doesn’t the fault of the current pope lay with those who voted for him? How is he doing anything nobody expected? And supposedly they all prayed to their holy father to send them a worthy Pope. Well?

I don't quite understand the hysteria among catholics.
A blessing is a favor or protection bestowed from God.
Why would being gay preclude one from a favor or protection from God?
Maybe the favor would be hetero thoughts.
Maybe the favor would be protection from STDs.
In a world full of sinners, I struggle to understand which sins preclude one from blessings and which ones don't.

Great thread - I can dig it

As bad as Pope Francis has been there are many pontiffs throughout the long history of the Church who have been much worse.

Cardinal Sarah would be a great Pope IMO, but I think he may be too old.
he is a list of Cardinals for Africa who would elect the next pope. However I think these may be out of date.

That bishop is now going to be targeted for removal.
Posted on 12/21/23 at 7:48 am to Toomer Deplorable
This pope installed 2/3 of the current cardinals that will select the next pope.
The next one is gonna be worse.

Thank God for the Catholic Church of Africa and her Bishops.
Regretably, I have to admit this Pope (aka Jorge Mario Bergoglio) is neither Catholic nor Christian.
Yes, I agree. I pray to Bergoglio's Boss (God) daily that He will call this guy home for a good tongue-lashing.
In the meantime, I pray the Church will pick an African to the Chair of Peter. My favorite - Robert Cardinal Sarah of Guinea.
Pater caelestis, exoro te, defende nos ab his, qui ad nos veniunt, ut lupi specie oves, Amen.

I was in the hospital at St Vincent’s, a Catholic hospital in Birmingham, earlier this year. The hospital chaplain Fr. Pol is from Nigeria. He prayed with me, blessed me, anointed me with oil and we said an Our Father together. He was funny, patient and kind. We didn’t discuss any of these matters but dude was very cool. With this news my view of African priests is even higher.
