What Will Catholics Do with Pope Leo XIV?

What Will Catholics Do with Pope Leo XIV?
By Mike Gendron

The new pope appears to be well qualified to be the head of an international organization. He can speak five languages including English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese and he can also read Latin and German. He is well educated with advanced degrees in Mathematics and Theology. But is he qualified to be the head of the church that Catholics believe was founded by the Lord Jesus Christ? The short answer is a resounding “No!” Jesus Christ, God’s perfect man and man’s perfect God, is the only one qualified! He is the One who purchased His church with His own blood and He is its only Head and only foundation (Acts 20:28; Eph. 5:23; 1 Cor. 3:11).

Catholics have foolishly replaced Christ as Head of the church with the pope. This is why the Reformers referred to the Pope as the antichrist, which means, the one who replaces or stands in the place of Christ. The Bible has many warnings concerning antichrists and trusting in mortal men.

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will be like a bush in the wastelands…But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him” (Jer. 17:5–7).

“Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation” (Psalm 146:3).

Will the Pope Be Liberal, Conservative or Biblical?​

Many Catholics are wondering if Pope Leo XIV will be liberal or conservative on social and political issues. Yet, they should be more concerned with biblical issues that have eternal consequences. If he continues to preach a false gospel that keeps 1.4 billion Catholics on the wide road to destruction, he is accursed (Gal. 1:6-9).

Sadly most Catholics don’t read the Bible.
 

Marco Rubio: Popes Are Not Politicians​


The pope is not a political figure,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said when a reporter asked him about Pope Leo’s call for respect toward migrants.

“I know he’s covered like one, but they’re not,” he said Thursday during a press conference in Antalya, Turkey, where Rubio met with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani. Rubio continued: But I would caution all of you and everyone not – I understand there’s this temptation to cover the papacy as a political office. It is not a political office. It is a spiritual office, and it is one that – it has social teachings that are aligned with the faith and with the gospel.
