What an Audience With the Pope is Really Like
There are people who believe that the pope of Rome is a man of God. Nothing could be further from the truth - the pope is the man of sin.
'The Catholic News Service' inadvertently gives us a glimpse of the pope's real heart, in an August 24 article titled, "Cane and able: Pope communicates with diverse groups at audiences." The article reports on what goes on during papal audiences, and one statement made in the article describes why the pope will not shake hands with the large crowds, "Handshaking is a no-no - the pope once lost his gold ring that way, when it slipped off into the fingers of a chagrined pilgrim, who returned it a few hours later."
Peter said in Acts 3:6, "SILVER AND GOLD I HAVE NONE," and Jesus died naked on a cross for our sins, while His clothes were being gambled for. Matthew 27:35 says, "AND THEY CRUCIFIED HIM, AND PARTED HIS GARMENTS, CASTING LOTS." It looks like this "Vicar" of Christ is more concerned about his personal jewelry than people!
Secondly, the title of the article says the, "Pope communicates," but the article says he does not communicate!! It says of these general papal audiences, "Few people in his audience can follow what he's saying, though. The hall's bad acoustics and the uncertain tenor of his voice make it impossible." Some thoughts:
1. Why don't they fix the sound system, or is there a deliberate reason that they don't fix it?
2. Why do people go to hear a man they can't hear? I would think Christ's "Vicar", the personal representative of Christ on earth, would want to be heard.
3. Surely the pope is aware the people are not able to hear him.
4. The pope's contempt for all (including Catholics) is revealed in that he knows people spend thousands to get to Rome, and travel from all over the world to be in this audience, and then they can't hear what Christ's "personal representative" on earth has to say! In addition to being the man of sin and the antichrist, the pope is also a bad host. However, the travel industry and the local Italian merchants say, "Gracci!"
5. It is a microcosm of what Rome really is, all glitz and no substance, words spoken, but not understood. What good are words if they can't be heard? The pope shows himself to be a cloud without water and a tree without fruit. There is no hope in a pope.
May the Lord's Spirit open the hearts of Catholics to see the futility that is in the pope and his church, may many Catholics be granted the repentance to confess Catholicism as sin, forsake it, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.
