Pope Francis Now Urges All Religions To Unite, And He Spake As A Dragon

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” Revelation 13:11,12

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis urged members of all religions and those belonging to no church on Wednesday to unite to defend justice, peace and the environment and not allow the value of a person to be reduced to “what he produces and what he consumes”.

Yahya Pallavicini, a leader of Italy’s Muslim community, said he was impressed by the pope’s insistence of inter-religious friendship.

Francis, elected a week ago as the first non-European pope in 1,300 years, met leaders of non-Catholic Christian religions such as Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans and Methodists, and others including Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus.

“The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of furthering respect of friendship between men and women of different religious traditions,” the Argentine pontiff told the religious leaders in an audience at the Vatican.

Speaking in Italian in the frescoed Sala Clementina, he said members of all religions and even non-believers had to recognize their joint responsibility “to our world, to all of creation, which we have to love and protect.

“We must do much for the good of the poorest, the weak, and those who are suffering, to favor justice, promote reconciliation and build peace,” he said.

Francis told the religious leaders to fight “a one-dimensional vision of a human person, according to which man is reduced to what he produces and what he consumes,” which he said was “one of the most dangerous snares of our times”.

While he said history had shown that any attempt to eliminate God had produced “much violence,” he reached out to those who seek truth, goodness and beauty without belonging to any religion.

“They are our precious allies in the commitment to defend human dignity, build a more peaceful coexistence among people and protect nature with care,” he said.

      The second beast of Revelation is the U.S. Note how the Holy Spirit also alluded to the second beast by confirming the first and second beast through chapter 13. 13 has always been used by Freemasonry, such as the original 13 colonies. The original beast is the world power that came out of the sea, the powerful island of the U.K. which more or less has ruled the world for the last 500 years, either directly or indirectly. The second beast appeared as a lamb, which refers to the Protestant nations that took over throughout the U.K isle and later in U.S.

      I find nothing wrong with what the Pope said. He is appealing for world peace and universal care for the poor — a standard papal exhortation. He is not endorsing a “one world religion” under a false banner of ecumenism.

      There is only one true religion — Roman Catholicism — Divinely founded, superior to all other religions, the most well-organized and most filled with truth and grace.

      Plus it’s the only religion that grants the Holy Virgin the respect she deserves as the Mother of God.

      • Oblivionssin

        Roman Catholicism is the biggest hoax in history. The bible clearly states not to worship or idolize. Mary is not the mother of God. She was chosen by God to give birth to Jesus. She was not without sin, she too needed a savior and that savior is Jesus. The church goes against the bible so how can it be the right one? That church is the self proclaimed religion of christians and discredits every other form. Babblings and tradition are of man not God. To recite the hail mary is to go against God. Learn your religion Anon. This is the most corrupt religion of all.

        • Louis

          Only fools expect to gain access to God’s Kingdom by first insulting God’s mother and by insulting the religion God came down from Heaven and founded on earth in person.

        • yes2truth

          Just as well then that I follow Yashua Anointed (The Lord Jesus Christ) and know that The Kingdom is already in me.

          Luke 17:21 (KJV) Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

          By god’s mother you must mean The MOTHER OF WHORES for out of their evil mouths do pour their own condemnations.

          Cult of Virgin Mary is taken from “Mary Queen of Heaven” Semiramis, wife of Nimrod. The Catholic church is a pagan entity. Look at the pope’s hat. It comes from the ancient cult of Dagon, the fish god- which is where the Catholic fish symbol began. NOTHING in the bible about fish=xtianity. LAMB and SHEEP are xtian. could go on and on, but let each do his own research.
          This Pope is false Prophet -to pave the way for Antichrist.

      • llort

        The Roman Catholic Church has been the most corrupt religious organization from its conception! It has it’s origins with peoples that worshiped idols and were/are steeped in the occult! Open your eyes and see for you are blind!

      • Derek

        My Anonymous friend, I’m afraid you are mistaken about Roman Catholicism. It is NOT the only true religion. That is Christianity and the various denominations that comprise it. CHRISTIANITY was founded by Jesus Christ if you want to think of it in religious terms (I personally don’t but that’s neither here nor there at the moment) and not Roman Catholicism. I see many things in Roman Catholicism that do not match up with Scripture, the almost worshipful attitude toward Mary being one of them. Mary is not worthy of such extreme devotion. Now, please do not mistake me. I’m not saying Mary is a prostitute or a horrible person or that she was this or that. But the level of fanatical devotion granted by the Catholic Church, especially this “Queen of Heaven” business, is troubling to say the absolute least. It has no Biblical precedent, nor do prayers to her or the saints, which I personally count as blasphemous. Jesus taught us how to pray. Nowhere in the prayer was there the words “and I pray to saint so-and-so.” or “and to those who are most worthy” or some other method of denoting sainthood. If you want the true BIBLICAL definition of a saint, it is any member of the Body of Christ. That’s right. If you are in Christ, you are automatically a saint, no dying and canonization required. I also take issue with things I’ve read in the glossary in the back of my Catholic Bible (I grew up Catholic, actually) that implied, for one example, that the stigmata (which I do not believe is from God in the first place after giving it careful consideration) was a method by which the person who endures it ASSISTS in Christ’s salvation of the world! This is absolutely blasphemous, as it implies that Christ is not entirely sufficient to take the price of the sins of mankind squarely on His shoulders and requires the aid of mere humans to accomplish it. In no way is that true. Also, this issue of transubstantiation makes no sense. It cannot literally be His blood and His body, given that this is, if you think on it honestly and without bias, cannibalism. I also take issue with the importance of tradition in the Catholic church. That it is considered on a level with Scripture itself is extremely troubling. NOTHING is on par with the very word of God. It stands alone against all else that would seek to exalt itself above it, because it is the word of the very living God Himself. Can human traditions ever hope to compare with that? I do not believe so. Humans are faulty (even the Pope. I don’t believe for a moment in papal infallibility) and we are prone to faulty decisions. It just happens. I take issue with much more, especially the ritualistic nature of much activity in the Catholic Church as well as the need for a priest for reconciliation with God, which I see nowhere in scripture as well. I go to God directly with my repentance and I am forgiven my sins without any priest interceding and telling me what rote, memorized prayers to recite or what good works I should do that will earn the favor that was always a free gift, the grace of God. In short, no matter the good intentions, and wonderful start the Catholic Church may have had, it has drifted significantly from that place of Christ’s true church. I hold no single denomination to be “the” denomination. I am now a Baptist but I see presbyterians and methodists and many others as being Christian and therefore equally within the bounds of salvation. The fact remains salvation is individualistic. It’s between you and Jesus, and happens when we come to Him on our own and submit ourselves entirely to His lordship, repenting of our sins. For me, that was at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. For others it’s in a church, but there are saved and unsaved in any church building you care to see. No one denomination has the corner of the salvation market. I hope you will give my arguments due consideration and not dismiss them as “Catholic bashing” because, if you are willing to notice, I specifically did my best to refrain from saying “this is stupid” or “fools follow this” or things of that nature. God bless you and please consider what was said. Thank you.

      jesuit…the top dog of all freemasons or should we call a spade a spade…luciferians

      • Pix

        Lucifer is Latin and means ‘light bringer’ as a reference to the planet Venus. Allegorically Luciferians would be truth tellers, ie, shedding light, enlightening.

        :wink:

        • yes2truth

          Lucifer is a latin word added to the Hebrew Old Testament in Isaiah 14:12 and is therefore a corruption of The Holy Scriptures. This means that Lucifer does not exist and has never existed.

        • llort

          yes2truth…you are correct! :grin:

        • Pix

          “Lucifer (pron.: /ˈluːsɪfər/ or /ˈljuːsɪfər/) is the King James Version rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל in Isaiah 14:12. This word, transliterated hêlēl or heylel, occurs only once in the Hebrew Bible and according to the KJV-influenced Strong’s Concordance means “shining one, morning star, Lucifer”.[1] The word Lucifer is taken from the Latin Vulgate,[2] which translates הֵילֵל as lucifer,[3][4] meaning “the morning star, the planet Venus” (or, as an adjective, “light-bearing”).[5] The Septuagint renders הֵילֵל in Greek as ἑωσφόρος[6][7] (heōsphoros),[8][9][10] a name, literally “bringer of dawn”, for the morning star.”

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer

        • Hawbs

          let me understand this lucifer invention. the catholic church came up with a name for pagan worship of the morning star or venus. it is not in all bibles. the isaiah 14 verse deals with a man type ruler like maybe nebuchadnezzar, not satan or lucifer if you care to read it.

        • yes2truth

          @ Pix

          hêlēl or heylel are verbs meaning ‘to howl’ or ‘to shine or boast’. Lucifer is a noun and therefore a corruption.

          The ‘son of the morning’ is Adam in the first instance Old Testament and Yashua Anointed in the New Testament the second Adam.

    • Pharisees.org

      back to the mother whore all you other churches, which psychopath Martin Luther Reformation sprung churches are also abominations to the Lord, was accomplished largely through former Nazi pope Carol Wojtyla, PJP II, called ecumenism.

      The author of the article is a blind man follower of Pharisee Paul who apparently thinks there was a time when the Catholic church did not speak as a dragon. Dragon-speak is all over the gospel of UN-Circumcision of the 13th self-proclaimed apostle Paul, a Pharisee, who says:

      Hebrews 10:26-27 Sin willfully after knowing the truth and you are forever condemned because there is no more sacrifice for sins.

      So off to Hell the many Pharisee Christian blind fools who counsel go read AND FOLLOW the teachings of a freaking Pharisee. John 8:44 Christ says Pharisees are of the Devil. Matthew 23:33, Christ says Pharisees never escape eternal condemnation. But fools say our Pharisee Paul escaped, and they call him Saint Paul, Paul the divine. Matthew 7:22-23 for those people, they think they know the Lord, they say but Lord, Lord, how can you not know us? Off to Hell they go.

      • ProudToBeJudah

        This world ignorantly lie on Martin Luther Exactly how it lies on King James. Both men were men of the Most High that fought against the Roman Catholic Church. Both men were Hebrew Israelites. It was 193A.D. (dark ages) when Europe was ruled by Hebrew Israelites. The take down of the Roman Empire was led by Septimius Serverus and Pescennius Niger. The dark ages is what the Bible is speaking of when the head was wounded to death Rev 13. It healed during the Renaissance period (rebirth), which is now America (Babylon). The American military is the physical aspect and the Roman Catholic Church is the spiritual aspect of Babylon. Both aspects are an extension of the Roman Empire. By Christ the Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah Heb 7:14, son of David Rom 1:3, is coming back to war with the 10 horns (NATO/NWO). The 10 horns will make war with the Lamb (Christ) and the 144,000 (chosen men of the 12 tribes of Israel) and be destroyed Rev 17:14. Bottom line Babylon is fallen, is fallen right with all the lies of all the people who choose to drink from the cup of the wine of the Roman Catholic Church fornication Rev 18:2-3.

        You are asking for the impossible. Man in his fallen condition does not have it in him to live in peace with his fellows. Man has a carnal mind that is emnity to his Creator and until he is reconciled to his Creator he will never know peace.

        There are also beings on this earth that want to destroy man i.e. Hu-man beings. Hu-man beings are not men. Hu from the Gaelic-Hebrew means serpent so Hu-man beings are serpent men descended from Cain.

    • Pix

      LOL. Religions have had their day, people are leaving them in their droves because they are no longer relevant. There is no evidence of their claims and plenty of counter evidence they are plagiarised from older beliefs.

      We have so moved on from ‘kill the infidel/witch/Jew/anyone who disagrees. Secular morality is far superior, ie the human rights act, equality. And believing in oxymorons is no longer possible for most people because they had an education. Ie there’s an all compassionate IT that tortures its sensitive thinking feeling creation for all eternity. Or there’s an all powerful IT that can be beaten by chariots of iron (Judges 1.10). Or there’s an all knowing it that has to judge after the fact.

    • The Truth!

      Rev 17:9
      And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

      This qualifying information which John gives us under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit for identifying this woman, who is a city, is specific, conclusive, and irrefutable. There is no city upon earth, past or present, which meets all of these criteria except Catholic Rome and now Vatican City, the City on Seven Hills.

      Peace be unto you

      • Hawbs

        mr. truth, i learned something interesting the other day. constantinople has seven hills like vatican city. this is odd because constantine merged the pagans and christians back in 300 a.d. and brought about christmas and easter and sunday worship and many other pagan practices merged into Yahushua’s truthful teachings. eventually this religion moved it’s capital to rome. it is the religion still going on today. it is not my religion. the bible in john 14 says “if you love God, you will keep His commandments”. this john chapter was written before the new testament was put together. we are commanded to keep the old testament laws which include the feast days and the dietary laws. we are not save by laws. we are saved by the forgiveness of sins by Yahushua which means in hebrew, Yah’s is salvation. the world could be a nice place if we all followed God’s laws. there would be much more peace and not so much man made confusion of religions.

      This new Pope sounds exactly like the Conservatives who have changed their tune now that they have had time to realize they lost the election
      They made the republicans believe they would win and now are wanting to put out loving, let’s be for all of our fellow man. The conservatives now want to include everyone they rejected the last 12 years at least just as this Pope and the Catholic church are including all the faiths and wanting them to believe they love all mankind, hoping the bastards, wayward, Protestants, pagans would forget they were rejected at one time by the Church ialso. The conservative agenda is the Catholic -Zionist agenda. One world government.
      They must want to speed their agenda up . Time must be geting critical.

        Not so strange when you know that Islam is a construct of Rome.

        Mohammed was groomed by Augustinian monks in North Africa circa 600 AD. He was married to an ex-nun 15 years his senoir.

        Rome created the Islamic Religion so as to stop The Gospel Message reaching the Arab peoples.

        @ Anon,

        Here you display your blind ignorance caused directly by your beliefs in a satanic cult styled popish religion – the adherents of which are all brainwashed and deluded by The Devil’s servants – those blasphemously calling themselves ‘father’.

        WIDE IS THE PATH TO DESTRUCTION (SPIRITUAL RUIN) AND MANY THERE BE THAT FIND IT.

        Mary was NOT pure, she was a sinner like everyone else. She was a virgin yes, but she was not pure. No one can be pure until they are Born of God through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Mary was chosen because she was a descendant of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob/Israel, Judah, Pharez – the Royal Judahite blood line. This means that Yashua Anointed was NOT a Jew.

        This means, too, that there is only one moron in this discussion – YOU.

    • Joerg Klaemt

      It appears that there are many Zionists or the breed of Satan here on bin that bash the most powerful Religion of Mankind. We know the agenda of you shills,the bible warned us of you kind, trying to destroy all religions but that of Satan i.e. “The Talmud”.
      For those that have never read it :http://www.sherryshriner.com/talmud_tidbits.htm
      It reveals their Goal and attitude against not just Christians, but every race on this earth, ,white,black,yellow or red. Only practicing talmudic Jews are given Satans blessing and power.
      The Book of Revelation, Chapter 2, Verse 9, states the following which would appear to be about these Ashkenazi Jews:
      “I know thy works, and tribulation and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

      • yes2truth

        “It appears that there are many Zionists or the breed of Satan here on bin that bash the most powerful Religion of Mankind.”

        It appears that there are many blasphemers here on BIN who truly are the servants of Satan and who think that Yashua Anointed came to this earth in order to start a religion. LOL LOL LOL

        They even think that Peter was a bishop of Rome and a pope. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.

        Their delusion is total and complete.

      Not all Sociopaths are Pedophiles, but All Pedophiles are Sociopaths.

      One trait among Sociopaths, is their Skill of an Actor to lie. Like a pedophile lures children with the ‘lost puppy’ tale; or Ted Bundy using the ‘broken arm’ trick to lure women in sympathy, close enough to grab. Another trait is gain powers of position over increasing Larger populations which give them a Larger victim base.

      This man was not only accused by eyewitnesses; he was found guilty in a court of law for crimes against humanity. These crimes and eyewitness testimony included Mass Murder, and Baby Snatching.

      Including others outside of Catholic covens, is a means to gain access to more victims. The ‘nice speech’ is simply another lure. People who fail to account for the charges against this man and make statements that this is somehow a great man taking over are simply aiding and abetting these bona fide criminals. Like getting a pedophile murderer out of jail and parading him.

      We have to listen when the voice of reason speaks, no matter who it is. Within each of us lives something that knows truth and is still united with all life and creation. We fight amongst each other holding ancient animosities and fears that will continue to divide the human race until we are in such a depleted and devastated condition, that there are few options left.

      We must unite in purpose for our future and those will have to live it. We are at a great turning point in human history. Would it be so surprising that the Creator has sent another of a long line of Messengers into the world to receive a New Revelation and Message from God? It is so..
