Pope Francis Is Establishing A New Church And New Religion
During a recent interfaith gathering Pope Francis said: "IMAGINE PEACE! IMAGINE PEACE! We need to keep meeting to weave the bonds of fraternity and allow ourselves to be guided by the divine inspiration present in every faith. He also said: all religions are a path to God.
In a Lifesitenews interview, titled "Bishop Strickland unpacks Pope Francis' new 'all religions are a path to God' agenda," Bishop Joseph Strickland and a deacon who works closely with him, deacon Keith Fournier, said, and the bishop agreed with him: It sounds more like a 1970s song by John Lennon, the song Imagine. It sounds more like the words to Imagine than the words in the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The interviewer, John Henry, then said he wondered if the pope did not intend to kind of equate his interfaith, brotherhood of man, mission with the message in John Lennon's song Imagine. Other popular Catholic commentators are also making this same insightful comparison.
Bishop Strickland, the deacon and the interviewer point out what they believe is wrong with the song Imagine. The bishop said the song says "and no religion." He wrongly believes and said those words mean "no religion," but in an interview John Lennon said: If you can imagine a world at peace, with no denominations of religion—not without religion but without this my God-is-bigger-than-your-God thing—then it can be true.
When speaking to this same interfaith gathering, Pope Francis said, “If you start to fight, ‘my religion is more important than yours, mine is true and yours isn’t’, where will that lead us?” he asked aloud. “There’s only one God, and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Some are Sheik, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, and they are different paths [to God]. My God is more important than your God, is that true?" The "no religion" words in the song Imagine actually, in context, mean no bigoted religion.
In 2015, Shakira performed "Imagine" during the opening ceremony at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, before Pope Francis delivered a powerful speech. Former US president Jimmy Carter said that "Imagine" is used almost as often as national anthems in many countries. The song "Imagine" is an international anthem of peace.
Interviewer John Henry stated that what Pope Francis said "all religions are paths that arrive at God" and "there is divine inspiration in all religions" is not what the Church teaches. And there seems to also be an agenda. The bishop says "it is an agenda. It is a bush back on the basic teachings of the faith. Pope Francis is bushing back on Christ Himself." The bishop said Pope Francis is saying the people of different non-Christian religions are all sons and daughters of God and have an equivalence with Christians. The bishop says there is no equivalence; they do not believe in Jesus Christ as who he is, and we know who he is."
Most Christians believe they know who Jesus Christ is. Believing is not knowing. There is no conclusive evidence of who Jesus is. People of different non-Christian religions and even some Christian churches have different beliefs as to who Jesus is. One non-Christian belief concludes that we are all, like Jesus, Divine Sons (or Daughters) of God. Pope Francis came to realize this (that there is no conclusive proof as to who Jesus is) and has repented from that form of bigotry. So now he can, and is, promoting the brotherhood of man, as does John Lennon's song Imagine. Pope Francis is establishing a new church and new religion.
The deacon says it seems like Pope Francis is now preaching indifferentism. The bishop says: If it is now, all about the brotherhood of man, as Lennon's song Imagine and Pope Francis seem to be proclaiming then God did not need to send his Son and we do not need a Church. The deacon said the day Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI he issued a letter warning about the dangers of the dictatorship of relativism. It means "you have your truth and I have my truth" and Christianity is about God revealed truth, Jesus Christ is THE WAY and THE TRUTH, and we need that truth as well as baptism to be saved. Pope Francis seems to be preaching indifferentism and relativism.
The internationally renowned Catholic evangelist, YouTuber and author, Ralph Martin, produced a video titled "A Rainbow Church?". It is about "the Church in crisis. It is about many in the Church falling into apostasy." It is also about Mr. Martin's (from his perspective) mission to rescue the Church from falling into apostasy. Mr. Martin is the president of Renewal Ministries, a Catholic renewal and evangelization organization. The organization is the sponsor of The Choices We Face, a widely viewed weekly Catholic television and radio program distributed throughout the world, and engages in a wide variety of mission work in more than thirty countries.
Cardinal Leo Joseph Suenens invited Martin to help jumpstart the Catholic charismatic renewal in Europe. Pope Benedict XVI appointed Martin to a five-year term as a consultant to the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization. Mr. Martin is the author of the book "The Church In Crisis: Pathways Forward." In respect to this book, Cardinal Gerhard L. Müller, Former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith wrote" “An important book that should be widely read.”
In the video Martin states that Cardinal Mario Grech was appointed by Pope Francis to lead the ongoing synodal process, and then comments on Cardinal Grech's call for a “rainbow church." Martin also looks at the recent document, "Dignitas Infinita" (Infinite Dignity), which affirms Church teaching that abortion, euthanasia, gender theory, and other violations of human dignity, are gravely wrong. But, as Martin says, the document nevertheless leaves the door open to continuing mischief in area of homosexuality.
Pope Francis recently said "homosexual couples should be able to live the gift of love." Martin said the gay rainbow flag that hangs on many churches is the flag of a new religion. And that there are people in the Catholic Church who want to accept that new religion and believe it is compatible with the faith. Martine insinuates that the "rainbow church" is the part of the church that has fallen into apostasy. He refers to it as a "new church" and a "new religion."
Martin says the Word of God in the Bible clearly states that homosexual sexual acts are sinful. Martin believes that when Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden they chose to not obey their God, as do today's apostate Christians of the "rainbow church" who approve of committed homosexual couples' sex acts. Pope Francis recently approved the blessing of homosexual couples. Martin said: "As we know the rainbow has been kind of hijacked by the LGBTQ agenda and is actually a symbol of rebellion against God.
Martin says the Synod on Synodality is a multi-year process by which the Church is going to develop a new way of being, a new way of listening, a new way of encouraging diversity and multiple voices. Martin said the "Dignitas Infinita" (Infinite Dignity) document referred to the United Nations' Declaration On Human Rights as kind of being in the same ballpark as what the Church is now teaching. We want to affirm the United Nations goals. We are attaching our train to the United Nations. Martin also commented on another thing Cardinal Grech said is that we do not need unity of thought, we can have a unity of differences or a unity of diversity.
Pope Francis recently said "all religions are paths that arrive at God." The United Nations' global ethics does not approve of religious fundamentalism that claims "my religion is the only way to God." A same sex married pastor of a United Church of Christ "rainbow church" delivered a homily that merges Hinduism and Christianity into a unified belief system that constitutes the basis of a new church and new religion.
The United Nations is orchestrating an interfaith or interreligious ecumenical movement. It is a Gnostic Theosophical Movement promoting a unity of diversity. Pope Francis seems to be moving toward becoming one of the leaders of this movement to establish a one-world religion wherein there is the harmonious fusion of multiple religious ideologies, rituals, and customs into a distinct, unified belief system. Theosophy is an attempt to merge into a universal doctrine all religions.
