My comment: I’m not sure what to think about this, but while reading this, it really didn’t set too well, God pointed me to Deuteronomy where He is cautioning the Israelites not to consult mediums or interpret omens! (Deuteronomy 8) Lord have mercy, this is the way they chose the Pope? Seriously. I believe in the Holy Spirit, and I believe that He manifests Himself to many, however, there’s something about this that doesn’t feel right. Why would God or the Holy Spirit speak to someone from Argentina and not one of the Leaders of the Church?

The surprise election of Pope Francis came about because of a series of supernatural “signs”, one of the leading Cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church has claimed.

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the Archbishop of Vienna, who was himself widely tipped as a possible successor to Pope Benedict, said he had personally had two “strong signs” that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was “the chosen one” in the run up to vote.
He said only divine intervention could explain the speed with which the Argentine Cardinal – who did not feature on any of the main lists of likely candidates compiled by Vatican experts – was elected.
Speaking to an Anglican conference in London, he also said the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, had a “strange similarity” to the new Pope.
He said that the two elections were a “little miracle” and a “sign from the Lord” that the two churches should work towards closer unity.
Addressing an audience of 5,000 people in the Royal Albert Hall, at a conference organised by the prominent Holy Trinity Brompton church in west London, he said that he was certain that on the evening of March 12, as the papal Conclave began, none of the Cardinals had known who would be chosen.
“It was a tremendous experience of the Holy Spirit,” he said.
“We were driven by the Holy Spirit to this man – he was sitting in the last corner of the Sistine Chapel: This man he is the chosen one.”
He added: “I received at least two strong signs: one I can tell, the other was in the Conclave I can’t speak about – but real signs of the Lord giving me indication ‘he is the one’.”
The Cardinal said that just after a special mass before the Conclave began he came across a couple from Latin America who are friends of his.
He said: “I met them outside the Basilica and I asked: ‘You have the Holy Spirit, can you give me advice for the Conclave that will start in a few hours?’
“And the woman whispered in my ear ‘Bergoglio’, and it hit me really: if these people say Bergoglio, that’s an indication of the Holy Spirit.
“And I’m sure many of us have received similar signs during the Conclave, it wouldn’t have been possible to have this election so soon and so rapidly.”
To applause, the Cardinal went on: “You know there is a strange similarity with your Archbishop Justin, I hope so much that they will meet soon.”
Laughing, he added: “I don’t know the secrets of the ‘conclave’ at Lambeth Palace.
“But it looks like a little miracle that he became the Archbishop, so I think the Lord as given us a great sign through these two elections and other signs and what I have deeply in my heart … it is as if he would say to the world ‘come home, I wait for you’.”

What do I think of the new Pope. Well I’d like to think he is a great humble man, but as more and more comes out about his selection process and his liberation theology about re-distribution of wealth, I have to say he’s looking more and more like a puppet for the powers that be, like the illuminati, or the last kingdom mentioned in Daniel, the New world order, the new world religion, whatever you want to color it, it’s the same. Praying for the church, and the people. Many will follow after false signs and wonders.

Regard not them that have familiar spirits,neither seek after wizards,to be defiled by them:I am the Lord your God.(Leviticus 19 V 31).There is no question why would God speak to someone from Argentina & not one of the leaders of the church……………THIS IS NOT the true church!Remember Satan comes with signs & lying wonders.(2 Thessalonians 2 V9-11)I grew up catholic and they worship the Virgin Mary and pray to her(Idolatry) and not our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ,When I posed this question to the Pastor I was shunned.(I gladly left that building to later be filled with the Holy Spirit who guides me in all truth).We are not to go after other gods of the people which are round about you.(Deuteronomy 6 V14,15).
1.)Revelation 21 V 8
2.)Ezekiel 13 V6-9…22&23
3.)2 Kings 23 V 24
4.)1 Samuel 15 V 23
May God Bless all whose minds are stayed on him and his truth.

I know what that’s like, I too was shunned because I wouldn’t join the church, and refused communion. That is a sacrament that Jesus told all to do as often as you remember me. Not when the church say’s you can have it. It seems more and more that this Pope is beginning to look like a false prophet. His re-distribution theory about wealth is not biblical, it’s socialistic and communist. I pray for the Catholic church, and the people.
