Well I'm sorry for him as a person- he needs salvation and his time here may be short.
That said, how interesting that we are looking at a replacement of what was a fake pope who was installed while Pope Benedict still lived. (The real pope- Benedict, died in December of 2022)
Almost like a placeholder wannabe Pope - when Pope Francis dies it will be REALLY interesting to see who succeeds him.
My oh my, 2025 is a fast moving year. Feels like a decade since Jan 1 and we are only midway thru February.
The official cause of death was publicly reported as cardiogenic shock.
I bet the real cause was a broken heart when he saw what Francis was up to
Hopefully, the next one will be AC and we're outta here when the white smoke rises

Of course, Francis, as a pretender, and satan as the great pretender . . .
After all, Martin Luther viewed the Papacy as the spirit of antichrist and later, the Pope as Antichrist
Interesting, short page about what the (Protestant Reformation) Reformers said about the Pope being AntiChrist (including the first US Baptist Pastor):
"Martin Luther (1483-1546) (Lutheran):
Luther … proved, by the revelations of Daniel and St. John, by the epistles of St.
Paul, St. Peter, and St. Jude, that the reign of
Antichrist, predicted and described in the
Bible, was the Papacy … And all the people did say,
Amen! A holy terror siezed their
souls. It was Antichrist whom they beheld seated on the pontifical throne. This new idea, which derived greater strength from the prophetic descriptions launched forth by Luther into the midst of his contemporaries, inflicted the most terrible blow on Rome.”
History of the Reformation of the Sixteen Century, by J. H. Merle D’aubigne’s, book vi, chapter xii, p. 215.
Martin Luther declared, “We here are of the conviction that the papacy is the seat of the true and real Antichrist.” (Aug. 18, 1520).
The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, by Le Roy Froom. Vol. 2., pg. 121."
"Roger Williams (1603-1683) (First Baptist Pastor in America):
Pastor Williams spoke of the Pope as “the pretended Vicar of
Christ on
earth, who sits as
God over the
Temple of
God, exalting himself not only above all that is called
God, but over the
souls and consciences of all his vassals, yea over the Spirit of
Christ, over the
Holy Spirit, yea, and God himself…speaking against the God of
heaven, thinking to change times and laws; but he is the
son of perdition (II Thess. 2).”
The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, by Froom, Vol. 3, pg. 52."
