DID POPE FRANCIS SIMPLY DISAPPEAR?

Francis claimed: “Those who do not repent, and therefore cannot be forgiven, disappear.”

When I began reading gaslighting news reports in the legacy and Catholic media about the passing of Pope Francis, I wanted to run and throw up in the toilet. A Catholic family I have known for over 50 years sent me an article by Bishop Robert Barron that read, “In word, gesture and deed, Pope Francis consistently reached out to those on the edges – the poor, the disenfranchised, migrants and endeavored to bring them to the center.” The more articles I read, the angrier I became knowing how countless clerical sex abuse victims must be feeling about this un-holy father who probably covered up more abuse than any prelate in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. My friend, Joseph Sciambra, echoed my feelings when he wrote, “Imagine being a survivor of some cult where you were sexually abused as a child, and then watching as the world praises the cult’s leader after his death. Now, you are beginning to understand what priest sex abuse survivors are going through right now.”

I created my Substack account, John 18:37 (“I have come into the world — to bear witness to the truth….”) because I discovered that many media outlets were either publishing lies, or more often not telling “the whole truth” about Pope Francis and “Lavender Mafia types” like Cardinals Cupich, McElroy, Dolan, Fernández, and others who were harming the faith of millions of Catholics. Steve Skojec who founded OnePeterFive believed the media was not just compromising the “truth,” but was also covering up for Francis who, from his perspective, personified “the devil prowling around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8) Another incredibly gifted former Catholic writer, Rod Dreher, also laments “how Pope Francis and the bishops seem so dead-set on destroying the Catholic faith — or if not destroying it, per se, then on turning it into something it never has been.” Dr. Jules Gomes, a Rome-based and Cambridge educated scholar and journalist, has also not been afraid to expose the late Pope’s heresies, his support for same-sex blessings, his anti-semitism, his sell-out of the Catholic Church in China, his sex abuse cover-ups, and his many other often unreported doctrinal and moral flaws.
