From the article:
The Roman Catholic Church celebrates its second Two-Pope Christmas this week. Is there greater significance behind this than meets the eye?
Is the Vatican actually giving us a sign “in plain sight,” to be understood by "those who have eyes to see and ears to hear"?
Peter and Paul, Church founders
In very general terms, one could say that Peter and Paul single-handedly founded the worldly and temporal structure of Roman Catholicism, out of which centuries later Protestantism would also spring. It's no wonder that the Church honors their joint solemnities on the same day: June 29 - The Feast of Saints Peter and Paul.
Let's fast forward to the present-day Church. As in a mirror, are we seeing a modern reflection of those two Roman Church Founders who worked together, lived together and almost died together, in the two Pontiffs who today also live and work together and who will in all likelihood also die together in Rome: Pope Francis (the "true" pope) and the retired pope "emeritus" Benedict XVI?
My comments.
I find it interesting that RT (Russia Today) carries this op-ed. RT has a cable news channel and a reputation for delivering unapologetic pokes to the establishment's chin.
It is a speculative article and goes off script for what the RCC wants its followers to think. Yet it goes deep enough into RCC deception to frame our thoughts for us, and gives us the questions we should be asking. Unfortunate for me, I don't speak Argentinian so the referenced web site and the op-ed's author are beyond me.
I was disturbed by this article. Not its pronouncement of some of the institution's shady and controversial things: its Roman Empire foundation; its evil history; its political motives; its covert nature belying the subtext of its many dark intrigues, machinations, secrets, including every heinous crime and its coverup; and Malachi's pope list, how remarkably accurate it might be, and whether the past few generations of the Vatican cabal have been endeavoring to stick to the script to some dark end.
No. What disturbs me is the delivery of this junk. As if the RCC is human, as if it has a heart for God's people, as if it has a love of and dispenses the truth, as if it has a conscience that can be swayed and we ought to be waiting with baited breath to hear what it will say about itself when it entreats our begging for its secrets.
As if it would ever come clean and open its history to inspection. I don't like to think of what would happen if verifiable, historical, horrific truth came out of its own vaults.
