Francis starts papacy vowing to protect ‘all creation’

Pope Francis kisses a sick man after his inauguration at the Vatican on Tuesday
Pope Francis kisses the forehead of a sick man after his inauguration at the Vatican on Tuesday

It was with a call for the protection of the weakest in society that Francis was officially inaugurated Tuesday as the Catholic Church’s 266th pontiff, before a crowd of tens of thousands bathed in sunlight.

Giving his homily before the throngs in St. Peter’s Square, Francis showed the humility and concern for ordinary people that have been noted since he became the first Latin American to be elected pope six days ago.

Before he spoke, he was given the official symbols of his papacy: a lamb’s wool shawl, to represent his role as “the good shepherd,” and the Fisherman’s Ring, to represent his role of spreading the gospel.

    @Justice and Truth

    You are nothing more and nothing less than an “arrogant twilight zone” who is seeking attention which you do not deserve. That is the reason I ignore your ranting against me, but this time you are not getting away with it.

    You are also a “loud sounding cymbal” to the ears of DNO audience because you message is as empty as the inside of a dried up shell. You speak or write nothing that will edify not even the most unlearned person, much more for people who are learned or has a good level of intelligence.

    You are also a coward, hiding behind a false name—you know nothing about “truth” and “justice”; most certainly not that which is the attribute of God Almighty. Otherwise why do take so long to respond to my post; like you are waiting until the audience has lost attention. Are you afraid of the crushing you will receive from me before them?

    I am sending a few Scriptures below to show you that I am qualified to speak against and to expose the foolishness of men who claim to be leaders representing God Almighty on earth, but they know nothing about Him. For these men are doing nothing but keeping God chosen people plagued with false teaching and commandments which He never ordained—and He is not happy with such misguide and stupidity being fed to His people.

    Like it or not, you have no authority against my speaking, for I do not speak on my own, it is Holy Spirit who speak through me and others like—God work of Salvation and Reconciliation must be fulfilled for the sake of His people.

    So you better shut up and be quiet, unless you want His rebuke because of your stupid attitude of self-righteousness through that untrained mind of yours which is packed with carnal wisdom, carnal understanding, and of course carnal knowledge.

      @Justice and Truth

      Here are the Scriptures which should keep you quiet as you claim to be the greatest nun, who of course, knows nothing about God Almighty and His Son Jesus Christ, and the person whom you are speaking your blasphemy against:

      Read what God Almighty in Jesus Christ, says to the leaders and congregations like yours at the Book of Revelation:

      (1) Jesus speaks to a “dead church” here as He tells them: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God”.

      (2) “Because you say, ‘I am rich; I have become wealthy, and I have no need for nothing’—and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and put on white garments, that you may be clothed, so that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.”

      The above Scriptures are exactly what God Almighty in Jesus Christ thinks about church leaders and their congregations like yours; just notice that these messages are at the Book of Revelation—it means that those situations are the fulfillment of the end of the ages. And so, you still have time to get away from this carnal nonsense which you embrace—talking about Spirit, which you know nothing about, through stupid word–composition. Here is one more!

      (3) Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him”

      This blessed indwelling of Father and Son, as they made Their home in me, happened in September of 1998 (15 years ago this year) You do not know who you are speaking such blasphemy against—I am warning you to stop it, or else you will regret it every word of your carnal mind, which you have typed against me through that computer keyboard you are using-perhaps it is not even yours. I rest my case.

    It is all about believing, understanding and practicing while God is giving us an allotted time.
    Taken from a religious article, Wise and Otherwise: I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this I believe–that unless I believe, I should not understand…

    Our Lord said: “This is why I speak to them in parables. They look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand. (Matthew 13:13)
    Pope Urban VIII said: It is better to believe than not to believe for if you believe and it is proven true, you will be happy that you believed.

    A man, Frank Werfel who wrote the Song of Bernadette in those days said:

    For those who understand no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not understand no explanation is possible.

    God gave us a free mind and will. No one is forcing the deniers, skeptics and unbelievers to believe and practice the Catholic Faith. They have chosen the path they wish to trod on and follow. However, the same free mind and will, will either save or condemn souls. Therefore, watch what you state and how you act towards others. The Holy Spirit scrutinizes all our works for our judgment. I also like to say, a mini one on this earth and the bigger one on Judgment Day. If you are warned and fail to pay heed, woe to you. When you see the truth you will then want to believe. Will it be too late for you???

    It is so sad that the devil have placed a veil over the hearts and minds of so many.Not only we are ignorant when comes to the ways of God,but we choose to be ignorant.That’s the reason why the Lord said in John’s gospel 3:19

    “They are condemn because the light came from heaven into the world,but they loved the darkness more than the light”

    Here is a good example.We are told there are no living SAINT on earth,you must first die and after certain years you have to perform miracles and then the big boys in the church declares you a saint ( or canonized you),now let us be serious.If you believe the bible is the final authority,can u show us any where in the bible that is how a sinner becomes a saint.? Let me reiterate do you have any proof from the scriptures.?

      J.J Charles:

      What you are stating is that you know more than the Catholic Church, the Pope, members of the Catholic Church? You are full of pride, joking and presumptuous. You are oh so wrong and know nothing. Pride comes before the fall. One day it will be revealed to you to your detriment.
      You are not loving, considerate and Christian-like. If you were you would have respect for the religion of others.
      I urge you and all those who speak evil about the Catholic Church, the Pope, Bishops and Priests which is also evil against the Catholic laity, to cease your harassment and persecution. God has taken note of your evil actions with your brains that lack godly enlightenment including his blessing and graces. A punishment is awaiting you right on earth and later in eternity.
      You are doing exactly what Saul did in those days when Our Lord Jesus Christ said to him: “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” You know what happened to Saul who turned Paul. He converted and was teaching the faith. It was not the faith of your newfound religion. It was the faith of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church, the Catholic Church. You are not smart enough to know that.
      The Catholic Church was founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ who approves all what the Holy Catholic Church believes and teaches. We are not answerable to you who were not smart so as to renounce your Catholic Faith including others. You can rant and rave all you want but you cannot change what God has ordained. God is patient and wants me as well to be patient. One day, JJC you will know and see the truth. You will live to regret it. Mark my words.

      I wholeheartedly echo that! Yeh! :lol:
      They are jealous. So is the devil. He is jealous of the Catholic Church and its members. The devil knows which Church is The One and Only True Church.
      Have you read the Secret of the Rosary, written by St. Louis de Montfort who had a great devotion to Our Lady? It is an interesting book with miracles of Our Lord and Our Lady; too many to mention here. In the book, St. Louis de Montfort wrote, “One Hail Mary makes all Hell tremble” and “Satan fears Our Lady.” The stories about her and her apparitions are many. She helps us and intercedes to her Son, Our Lord for us. As Our Blessed Mother, Mother of the Church, she also prays for the Catholic Church and its members.
      You see, Satan knows what he lost through disobedience and rebelliousness. Therefore, he has imbedded in the hearts of the enemies of the Catholic Church to hate us, hate our religious beliefs and devotional practices and spew their hatred against us at every opportunity they get. The new Pope and his installation is a good opportunity for them to pounce on us and take advantage of this moment. It is evident.
      We know that God is not blind, deaf or sleeping and nothing is hidden from him. He is not amused by their persecution of His people and His Church. He is watching and taking note. He is patient. They will see their error in time to their regret. He who laughs lasts best.
      And so we say: “Let God arise. Let his enemies scatter. Let them that hate him flee from his face. As wax is melted so the wicked will perish in the eternal fire.
      If God is for us who can be against us?

      It is not a Catholic documentary. It was written by a non-Catholic, probably an agnostic, an atheist, a fallen away Catholic, one who renounced the Catholic faith, a godless person, one who is an enemy of the Catholic Church who is obviously living an immoral life and wants to undermine the Church. Why should a genuine practicing Catholic want to read such evil propaganda?
      God enlightens. We are not stupid people. Catholics would be foolish to do so. We are obligated to read matters that will enlighten us, make us fervent and knowledgeable in the faith and make us grow in faith. This is our interest.
      Those books/programs/movies are a wash-out. They are the devil’s advocate. We have no need for them. They do not enhance our spirituality. God will take care of such people in time. Keep them and read them for yourself. You will not get any further spirituality.

    You and I came into the world and meet both of them there and we most likely will depart and leave them there,should the Lord tarry.

    For the most part,you’ll be just brushed off..
    But it is said,knock and the door shall be opened unto you.Seek and you shall find.
    It is sad that in this crazy day and age people are just accepting things at face value and not looking into things.

    Open your eyes black people, they have been fooling our people for generations. I have No white God is a Black Messiah…we need to know where we came from in other to know where we are going….Rise up mighty race and get over the illusion. The conqueror writes the his-tory; we don’t expect the people who came to invade us to write the truth. Religion is here, so the poor don’t m**d8r the rich. Napoleon Bonaparte made this statement. Religion is also excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. People we need to know and overstand our culture, john Hawkins had a huge slave ship in 1564 named J*s**, appointed by queen of England….so basically religion is like drugs if you give it to children early enough they’ll get hooked on it, if Jesus colour didn’t matter you wouldn’t care if I said he was Black but the way it bothers you to hear that says a lot.

      You open your eyes black person. You are not intelligent to make such statements. You are projecting to us who and what you are and whose side you are on, by no means on the side of Our Almighty Father and His Blessed Son Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Christian God. There is only one God. As it is said, we will go to Heaven on Jesus terms; not ours. Keep this in mind.
      What you are stating is there is a black God and a white God. How ignorant you are. Do you think God cares two hoots about black and white color? He cares that we love one another, make peace with one another and also live in harmony. This is God’s interest and concern. It is obvious you lack this enlightenment.
      It is a mystery that people of the world have different pigmentation and speak different languages. I do not concern myself with it. You should contemplate on this and pray to God for enlightenment.
      I have considered that God made us this way to test us to see how well we can live with one another. We are on a stage and performing a dress rehearsal. If we fail this on earth, absolutely no Heaven for us.
      You cannot enter Heaven with that type of attitude, saying that God is black and not doing your utmost to get along with others, to love them, respect them and their religious beliefs. How far do you expect to get right here in this world with this indifference?
      Religion is good for the body, the heart and mind and soul. It is good to be hooked on religion. It is said that most folks who are religious are the happiest. If practiced according to The Ten Commandments of God and the religious teaching of the Church and they keep on doing so during their lifetime, it will be an asset to them throughout their lives. God will shield them from bad company, from evil elements and smoking and snorting illegal drugs and trafficking in them.
      Do not blaspheme and compare religion to drugs. There is no comparison. One, religion will contrbute to our happiness and peace on earth and assist us to obtain eternal salvation. The other, drugs, will kill people and take them straight to the jaws of Hell because it is their god and they depend on it to keep their feet on the ground. It will not be long when they will not have two feet to stand on and will be lying in a bed if they do not die immediately. Smarten up black person!

    He reflected first on the symbolism of the date: this is the day that Catholics celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph to honor Jesus’ father on Earth, the carpenter Joseph. Francis spoke of Joseph’s role in protecting not only Jesus and Mary, but also the church<<<<<<< News Article

    To honor Jesus' father? Joseph's role of protecting not only Jesus? Joseph protedted the Church? Say what! This is what comes from the new Pope, whom I read is called to spread the Gospel?

    Where is all of those thinga about Joseph spoken in the Gospel of Jesus Christ–of which Mary is bearly mentioned–except for her encounter with God's Angel with the message of her conception?

    Doesn't the Pope know that Jesus refused to see His mother and His brothers because they denied that His Devine Authority was from God Almighty?

    Well here is what Jesus said about His mother and His brothers when they called to see, as He spoke to a huge crowd @Matthew 12: 46-50 including other places of the Gosples.

    "While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”

    But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

    Let us also notice that Jesus claimed no other father except His Father in Heaven. He called Himself the Son of man, because His mother was a human being of the Earth.

    If the Pope believes that Joseph is the father of Jesus and he must be honored, how is he prepared to teach his congregation–who is the Roman Catholic Church–to honor God Almighty, who is of Love and Righteousness in Spirit and Truth–the Creator of all things through the Son, Jesus Christ. How could Joseph protect Jesus, who created him?

    When will the Pope, and those who lead the Catholic Church with him, ever come to understand that Salvation and Reconciliation to God Almighty is all that matters for Life, and that aspect demands that we know God Almighty through His message of Life in the Holy Bible–not by the doctrines and commandmnets of men, better known as religion?

    God detested the things of religion when He said through His prophet Isaiah: "This people honor Me with the lips but their heart is far from Me; and in vain they worship Me speaking as doctrines the commandments of men". Isaiah 29: 13 Jesus repeated that same message two times in the Gospels. I reat my case!

      Liza, once again you renounced your Catholic faith because you did not make it your business to be knowledgeable of it. You are stating matters that you lack mortal and spiritual intelligence about.
      Pope Francis I said exactly what all genuine practicing Catholics were taught and know. There is proof of St. Joseph. We are on the right path.
      You are not a Catholic. Leave Catholicism to Catholics. Just as you are not able to comprehend its teachings and devotional practices, you cannot change a thing. It is not revealed to you because you renounced the Catholic faith. Therefore, do not make statements about which you are not well-versed in/do not know. Admit your error and say that you do not know and leave us Catholics alone; leave well alone.
      The teachings of the Catholic Church are approved by The Blessed Trinity. It is not wrong. One day, be it when you close your eyes for the last time on earth and are faced with your etermal judgment, it, the truth will be revealed to you. Our Lord will do this. There is much you do not know about the Catholic Church, the Faith, Its beliefs and practices as its devotions, all approved by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
      Do not allow the noon-day devil to continue to deceive you. He has already done that. Pray to God and sincerely ask him for enlightenment. Only then will you receive the grace of God to comprehend this. At this moment, your critical words do not matter whatsoever.
      I reiterate your thoughts and words cannot change a thing, what God has ordained as the truth to be believed and practiced by everyone as a condition for obtaining eternal salvation. He knows better than you do. He established His Church on earth, The One and Only Holy, True Catholic and Apostolic Church on earth. This is what is eating people as you up, especially as you, those who made a grave mistake and renounced their Catholic faith. The blessing of God, his graces and enlightenment be to you that you may comprehend what you did not when you were a practicing member of the Catholic Church and today a non-practicing one, turned its enemy.

      Some non-Catholic ones, Jewish people who are leaders of their church, or other prominent dignitaries, as a protocol, were invited to his installation.
      The Catholic Church hates no one and respects their religion. It is a godly, Christian practice for peace and unity which pleases Our Lord.
      I certainly wished that I were there. I hope someday I will visit Rome, in fact Europe and all the Shrines. There are many of them. In this part of the world, Canada, there are many pilgrimates to those places, arranged by members of the Catholic Church in various parishes. In time, I will visit there.

      As Our Lord said to Peter, “God – The Holy Spirit revealed this to you.” :) No one else did.
      They are not true followers of Our Lord Jesus Christ for they would leave us Catholics alone. My duty is to respond and defend my Church.
      I am a baptized Catholic. I made my First Holy Communion and Confirmed.
      As a teenager in high school, I was consecrated to the Mother of God, the Ever Blessed Virgin Mary. We call her Our Lady. Indeed she is a lady, chosen by Our Almighty Father to bear his Blessed Son.
      If you were a practicing Catholic and you resided in Roseau/Goodwill of all, it was an annual, solemn consecration of teenaged girls to the Mother of God by the Redemptorist Priests.
      When I resided in Dominica I attended nearly all Catholic devotions. This has greatly assisted me to grow in faith and to practice my faith to today as an adult and not be swayed by those who try to influence me to renounce it. Thanks be to God and my Catholic parents nurturing, I stand steadfast in it..
      Today, I see the necessity for defending my faith as many have left the faith and have now turned enemies and experts of the Bible and our faith as if they know better than practicing Catholics. They do not. They do not possess the godly mind, Christian trait, respect and graciousness that they should have respect for our faith. They are also not aware of how much they offend God, His First and Second Commandment to love one another…
      They very well know these Commandments. It is a grievous/mortal sin to disobey God’s Commandments. Note how many people are doing that. God rewards the good and punishes the wicked. They do not fear God and his punishment on them. As I always say, God will take care of them in it.
      God bless you!

    You don’t think, that is why, a lot of young men cannot don’t want to join the priesthood, because they cannot get married and have a family? can the Bishop/someone, in Religious Authority answer that question?

      March 20, 2013

      I am not a bishop or a priest. I am a member of the laity. Anyone who is knowledgeable in the Catholic faith, is enlightened, who reads about their faith and learned about it, could answer this to the best of their ability.
      Furthermore, why did you not telephone a parish priest and ask him. You could also make an appointment with him and then pose your questions to him and listen intently and patiently to his reply. He will be too happy to answer them.
      The Catholic Church is not racist. Did you note and/or heard that the Cardinals prayed fervently to God to assist them to choose a good pope? Through their prayers, The Holy Spirit has chosen this pope and a good one. We Catholics are elated about him.
      Pertaining to a black pope, understand that there are few black cardinals. The majority of them are white. Why is that you will ask? Because few blacks became priests. What is more, some have renounced their Catholic faith to join non-Catholic churches. Blame them for that, who did not make it their duty to know about their Catholic faith and knowledge of same. They allowed others to falsely indoctrinate them and so without thinking, they left the Catholic Church as they criticize it and its devotions.
      Pertaining to young men not wanting to join the priesthood:

      1. it appears that they did not receive the calling.
      2. they do not practice the faith as they should.
      3. they are too involved in things of the world.
      4. they do not want to make a sacrifice for the Lord.
      It is all in Holy Scripture, the New Testament.
      I have written about some of that. My advice to you is also to go to http://www.ewtn.com, U.S. Catholic TV and you will find a lot of this information, the truth of same.
      If you are residing in Dominica, there is a Catholic Radio. Another problem is that you should listen to Catholic TV and Radio when possible and you will learn a lot about the Catholic faith, cultivate it, grow in faith and spirituality. Of course, practice it and pray not only for yourself but for others. In other words to live unselfishly. This is how Catholics will learn and know more about their faith.
      There is much more to Catholicism than meets the eye. The Catholic Church is rich in history and has the fullness of faith and truth. Do not wait when you die to find out for it may be too late. Do so right now while God has given you an allotted time. May he bless, grace and enlighten you.

      The Pope is the Head of the Catholic Church. If you are not a Catholic, that you also renounced your Catholic faith you should not concern yourself about him. You also lack godly enlightenment to comprehend it. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. The Pope will not bring down the world to the lowest of the lowest and down the path of perdition to the jaws and centre of Hell. Think of those in the world who will do it and are already doing it.

      This is what will do the damage in the world and is causing immense harm and suffering and will incur the wrath of God. Already a lot of damage has already been done down through the ages to today.
      How about not recognizing God, rejecting him, not practicing the faith, committing fornication, promiscuity, unwed fathers and mothers, adultery, marriage outside the church, separations, divorce, disobedient children, crimes/murders, young people are also committing crimes and are in imprisoned, many are murdered, infidelity, abortions, planned parenthood, prostitution, recognition of same sex and so-called same sex marriage and the list goes on. You should realize that the world is in a state of sin. Satan rules. This is what you should concern yourself about.
      Have you not considered that this is what you should also pray to God for to eradicate them from the face of the faith as they are destroying adults, children and the world in general? Satan rules.
      What about the life you live? How well you obey God’s Commandments and live a godly life? This should be your sole concern and your business.

We have uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers, sisters etc., who are caught up in this nonesense and these are the ones we are concerned for.

    Lord open the eyes of this world! The perfect counterfeit is here! A LAMBS wool shawl? To represent his role as THE GOOD SHEPARD? Folks who is the Good Shepard that the bible spoke about? Wasn’t it Jesus Christ? When the disciple was on the Mount of Olives the disciple came up to him privately saying, Tell us when shall these things be and what shall be the sign of thy coming and the end of the world? Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you! For many shall come in my name saying i am the Christ and shall deceive many!

        Our Lord said, “Many will come in My Name…So as to deceive the elect. They will masquerade as sheep in wolves clothing.”
        What I find is that people as JC who think they know it all do not give it a thought that all these so-called religions have not contributed to love, happiness, peace, and unity among people. Note that JC cannot mind his own business. He is always lambasting the Catholic Church and minding its business.
        Imagine, they cannot comprehend that the Catholic Church is 2,000 years old and that it was established by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
        In addition, the Holy Bible, the Sabbath, Sunday worship, the Christmas Season, Christmas, Lent, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter, Pentecost all originated and descended from the Catholic Church and its teachings which they have copied.
        The Catholic Church did not copy from those religions which came after it. It is not a denomination.
        Years gone by there were many more Catholics in the world. Due to ungodly lifestyles and disobedience, some have left the Catholic Church, formed their own church and lured Catholics to join their church. What they said to God, “I will not listen to you and your Church. I will not serve.” They lack godly enlightenment to see the harm that they have done to their souls of all. They will find out one day.
        We Catholic must stand up and defend our faith, always with the help of God. Praise be to God.
        God bless you!

      JC, look to the church you joined after you left the Catholic Church. It is not superior to the Catholic Church. You were not smart to leave the Catholic Church. You nor your leader have the answer. God did not grace you with it.
      Read the above writing which pertains to you. No need for me to further elaborate on it. It is self-explanatory.
      The Catholic Church has the answer. God is in control of his Catholic Church which He established on earth. Eat your heart out. This is what is bothering you and people as you. How sad! :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen:
