The 20-page document is a follow-up to the 2017 Filial Correction of Pope Francis that was signed originally by 62 scholars and which stated that the Pope has “effectively upheld 7 heretical positions about marriage, the moral life, and the reception of the sacraments, and has caused these heretical opinions to spread in the Catholic Church,” especially in light of his 2016 exhortation Amoris Laetitia. The authors of the open letter state in a summary of their letter that it has now become clear that Pope Francis is aware of his own positions contrary to the faith and that the time has come to go a “stage further” by claiming that Pope Francis is “guilty of the crime of heresy.”

The Roman Catholic Church is not the Church that Jesus started, but to unsaved lost people it kind of looks and sounds like it. Kind of. Well, maybe a little? OK, not at all, but you get what I mean. The Roman counterfeit fools a lot of people because of its outer veneer of religiosity. But even within those parameters, the papacy of Pope Francis is making a lot of high-level Catholics pretty mad. Why? Let’s take a look and see.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.” Revelation 18:4-6 (KJV)

Over just the past few years, and in no particular order, Pope Francis has signed an interfaith covenant with the leader of Sunni Islam, held a secret backdoor meeting with the president of the Mormon cult and blessed their new temple in Rome, told a famous international photographer that he, Francis, was the Devil, has taken unprecendented steps to pull the LGBTQ+ P for pedophile into the Catholic Church, and the endless list goes on. Endlessly.

But I have a news flash for this band of 31 Catholic theologians that might surprise them, and why they might want to retract their demands that Pope Francis stop all his religious shenanigans. Francis is only doing what the bible says the last pope in the end times is supposed to do. The bible says that there will be a One World Religion in Revelation 13, and Pope Francis is taking steps to make that happen. The bible says in Revelation 13, 17 and 18, that there will be a One World Government over which the king of Vatican City will rule the world, albeit for a short time, and Pope Francis is working to bring that to pass as well.

So if these ‘high-ranking’ theologians knew anything about the bible, what they would be doing is getting saved, leaving the Roman Catholic counterfeit, and prepare to leave this world in the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. Flight #777 on Titus213 Airlines is now boarding.! Ahh…you look at life just a little differently when you’re a bible believer. I’ll take that over being a ‘high-ranking theologian’ any day.

Prominent clergy, scholars accuse Pope Francis of heresy in open letter

FROM LIFE SITE NEWS: They ask the bishops of the Catholic Church, to whom the open letter is addressed, to “take the steps necessary to deal with the grave situation” of a pope committing this crime. The authors base their charge of heresy on the manifold manifestations of Pope Francis’ embrace of positions contrary to the faith and his dubious support of prelates who in their lives have shown themselves to have a clear disrespect for the Church’s faith and morals.

“We take this measure as a last resort to respond to the accumulating harm caused by Pope Francis’s words and actions over several years, which have given rise to one of the worst crises in the history of the Catholic Church,” the authors state. The open letter is available in Dutch, Italian, German, French, and Spanish.

Among the signatories are well-respected scholars such as Father Thomas Crean, Fr. John Hunwicke, Professor John Rist, Dr. Anna Silvas, Professor Claudio Pierantoni, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, and Dr. John Lamont. The text is dated “Easter Week” and appears on the traditional Feast Day of St. Catherine of Siena, a saint who counseled and admonished several popes in her time.

The 20-page document is a follow-up to the 2017 Filial Correction of Pope Francis that was signed originally by 62 scholars and which stated that the Pope has “effectively upheld 7 heretical positions about marriage, the moral life, and the reception of the sacraments, and has caused these heretical opinions to spread in the Catholic Church,” especially in light of his 2016 exhortation Amoris Laetitia.

The authors of the open letter state in a summary of their letter (read below) that it has now become clear that Pope Francis is aware of his own positions contrary to the faith and that the time has come to go a “stage further” by claiming that Pope Francis is “guilty of the crime of heresy.”

“We limit ourselves to accusing him of heresy on occasions where he has publicly denied truths of the faith, and then consistently acted in a way that demonstrates that he disbelieves these truths that he has publicly denied,” the authors state.

They clarify that they are not claiming Pope Francis has “denied truths of the faith in pronouncements that satisfy the conditions for an infallible papal teaching.”

“We assert that this would be impossible, since it would be incompatible with the guidance given to the Church by the Holy Spirit,” they state. In light of this situation, the authors call upon the bishops of the Church to take action since a “heretical papacy may not be tolerated or dissimulated to avoid a worse evil.”

For this reason, the authors “respectfully request the bishops of the Church to investigate the accusations contained in the letter, so that if they judge them to be well founded they may free the Church from her present distress, in accordance with the hallowed adage, Salus animarum prima lex (‘the salvation of souls is the highest law’). The bishops can do this, the writers suggest, “by admonishing Pope Francis to reject these heresies, and if he should persistently refuse, by declaring that he has freely deprived himself of the papacy.”

THE AUTHORS FIRST PRESENT IN DETAIL – AND WITH THEOLOGICAL REFERENCES TO SUBSTANTIATE THEIR CLAIMS – THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS AGAINST THE FAITH POPE FRANCIS HAS SHOWN HIMSELF TO HOLD, PROPAGATE, OR SUPPORT, INCLUDING “SEVEN PROPOSITIONS CONTRADICTING DIVINELY REVEALED TRUTH.”

One of the heresies the authors accuse Pope Francis of committing is expressed in the following proposition: “A Christian believer can have full knowledge of a divine law and voluntarily choose to break it in a serious matter, but not be in a state of mortal sin as a result of this action.” Many of these heretical statements touch on questions of marriage and the family and are to be found in Amoris Laetitia, but there is also a new claim made by Pope Francis in 2019 – namely, that the “diversity of religions” is “willed by God” – that is listed in the open letter.
