  • 1 | Page This Is My Second Article on Pope Francis As Being The
    This is my second article on Pope Francis as being the Antichrist pope. My first article and video online about 2 years ago is entitled, "Pope Francis: the Antipope of History?" I used a question mark at that time, because I was exploring the possibility that he was an anti-pope, but now I'm definitely sure that he is. I feel that it is my duty as a Catholic to warn the whole world that Francis is an invalid pope, that Benedict was forced out against his will, even though he protests that he did this "in full freedom.'' Yet the fact remains that there is ample proof of his ouster. Archbishop Luigi Negri [now retired] of the Francis: A Communist Anti-pope "The Brown Bear [Russia] will manipulate the White Bear [Anti- Pope Francis]. Therefore, you must not permit the White Bear to take over the Seat of Peter by the assassination of John Paul II." - Our Lady at Bayside Vigil, December 24, 1979 archdicese of Ferrara-Comacchio, a friend of Pope Benedict, who has visited him "several times" since his resignation in February 2013, claims that Benedict resigned under "extreme pressure." There is a group of bishops and cardinals that had been meeting secretly since 1996 in the small cathedral town of Sankt-Gallen, Switzerland, to oppose the election of Cardinal Ratzinger to the papacy, and to throw its support behind Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, who wished to "modernize" the Church, just as they did. By "modernize," they meant to change Church teaching on such things as abortion and homosexuality, to allow Holy Communion administered to couples after divorce and remarriage outside the Church, etc; the first two are both sins crying to Heaven for vengeance, and condemned by the Church for two thousand years.
