Pope Francis: The Antichrist?
Jennifer LeClaire at CharismaNews:
If you type “is Pope Francis antichrist” into Google, you’ll get about 425,000 results in .37 seconds. By way of comparison, if you ask Google the same question about Pope Benedict you only get 137,000 and it takes a little longer—.47 seconds.
So why do so many people think—or at least ponder—that the Latin American pontiff is the Antichrist (or at least the end-time False Prophet mentioned in Revelation 19:20)? It could be for some of the same reasons his popularity is declining. His approval rating in the United States has dropped from 76 percent a year ago to 56 percent today, according to Gallup.
Indeed, even Roman Catholics are cooling off to Francis, the first-ever Jesuit pope who emerged as a darling among the evangelical community when he took over for the retiring Benedict. Some Pentecostal onlookers suggested he was Spirit-filled. And Kenneth Copeland and James Robison met privately with the pope in Rome and exchanged high-fives.
So what gives? Reuters’ Scott Malone points out: “The decline comes as Francis has changed the focus of his public remarks from that of his immediate predecessors, concentrating less on the Church’s opposition to abortion and gay marriage and spending more of his time discussing social inequity and poverty.”
Francis has been vocal about the evils of capitalism while backing off conservative views about homosexuals, asking, “Who am I to judge?” He’s even called for a New World Order more than once. Some predict he will usher in this New World Order on Sept. 25, just 10 days after the end of the Shemitah year, which has a swirl of speculation about economic collapse around it…
Could Francis be the final pope before Christ’s return? Could he be the Antichrist? Is he the False Prophet? The chatter continues.

The right will always hate the Pope. He is way too Christian for them.

Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 10:52
If he really is the anti-Christ, he will be right at home. Because congress is pure evil.
Robert Kennedy July 29th, 2015 at 20:18
Not pure, there are good ones there, but none of them are Republicans.

One thing’s for sure, the right can never seem to make up their minds.
Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 10:53
I’m pretty sure the president has an edge, because he is a Mooslim, and that’s worth bonus points.
Tommie July 29th, 2015 at 09:48
Because the Pope is to open-minded, he is a today’s Pope, who agrees with alot of things that the right find despicable!
William July 29th, 2015 at 09:50
Exactly Tommie. The Pope stands for charity, mercy, decency, and trying to keep the planet habitable. The exact opposite of the right wing mantra. That is of course, go to church, pray, and then go right back to being a greedy assh*le for the rest of the 6 days and 23 hours of the week. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fa52e689917c83935a3001850ff7271438018b30540dc4ff9b3051e25207f72c.jpg

Well said!
Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 10:54
Actually, they could probably do with fewer prayers and more food.
jasperjava July 29th, 2015 at 11:21
Prayer may or may not help, but it doesn’t hurt.
If it encourages the faithful to do the right thing, so much the better.
Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 11:49
If they actually do follow the tenets of their faith, they will feed the hungry, no matter what their faith is.
Dwendt44 July 29th, 2015 at 12:35
that’s a big IF.
Gindy51 July 29th, 2015 at 09:54
Poverty and social inequity do not gather clicks, abortion and hating on gays does.
Suzanne McFly July 29th, 2015 at 10:15
The Pope seems to pissing off the fake ones, good job, keep on doing it!!!!!!!!!!!
Larry Schmitt July 29th, 2015 at 10:55
A pile of scum like Robertson is a lot closer to being the anti-Christ than the pope is.
Bunya July 29th, 2015 at 14:00
He’s not the pope! He’s a commie, like that Kenyan born, commie, socialist, member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Barack Obama! He spends all his pope time focusing on socialist stuff like helping the poor – everything antithetical to what republican Jesus teaches!
.
Can you believe it? He’s not into Christian stuff like terrorizing women in crisis and trashing gays! Whoever heard of such crap? Everybody knows that the poor are lazy bastards, sucking off the government teat – and Francis approves of it! I am depressed!
Mike July 29th, 2015 at 14:04
The Pope is a direct threat to the Corporatocracy…he will be labeled and defiled as long as he continues thinking he can help the poor and less fortunate by getting the rich to help.

The one true God shall be unleashed upon Francis

He’s a true Christian; lots of American Christian don’t really like what Christ has to say.
bpollen July 29th, 2015 at 15:55
According to Nostradamus (obviously an impeccable source,) the 3rd AntiChrist (didja miss the first two?) will be Muslim and wearing a blue turban. Francis wears a white beanie similar to a yarmulke, and a big pointy hat. No turbans…
azeyote July 29th, 2015 at 18:49
what about Huckabee? – he wears a tin foil hat,
amersham46 July 29th, 2015 at 21:37
well his hat is really an Erbium 62% and Dysprosium 38% alloy with just a trace of tin
Robert Kennedy July 29th, 2015 at 20:15
JP dos said he thought Dubya was the Antichrist.
allison1050 July 29th, 2015 at 20:27
Well, I must say nobody asked me if I was cooling off of Pope Francis which by the way I most certainly am not. So now who was asked and which generation of Catholics?
Warman1138 July 29th, 2015 at 20:53
It’s always those that claim Christianity for themselves and no one else that start in with all the ” anti ” name calling and stuff. People like the Pope tend to cut into their pocketbooks, self importance and influence.
amersham46 July 29th, 2015 at 21:33
Must be doing something right ,,,,,,, Americans at starting to dislike him
robert July 29th, 2015 at 23:33
Too late pope
a new world order didn’t work the first time
