Pope Francis made his last public appearance on Easter Sunday a day before his death to bless thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square, drawing wild cheers and applause.

Pope Francis bore two titles as he served his 12 years in the Roman Catholic Church, those of Pontifex Maximus and the Holy Father. The first title was that that was given to the Roman emperor Julius Caesar in 63 AD, and the second is actually one of the names for God the Father in John 17. Pope Francis was worshipped by 1.4 billion Catholics, lived as a god but died as a man. The question that everyone wants to answer today is, what will become of the Roman Catholic Church he created? That’s the memo.

“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.” Psalm 82:6,7 (KJB)

Over the years, NTEB has brought you a plethora of articles and stories on the main work of Pope Francis, and in the many articles we have done on him, two things are more prominent than all the rest. The first being his alliance with Chrislam, his connection to Mohammed bin Zayed and the work done with the Abraham Accords, and the second being the changes made to attempt to bring in the LGBTQ into the Roman church. It’s quite an end times legacy he leaves behind, and we are about to see just what will become of it. I think it’s time for a much younger leader to come on the scene, don’t you?

Pope Francis, first Latin American pontiff dead at 88

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Pope Francis performed the blessing from the same loggia where he was introduced to the world on March 13, 2013 as the 266th pope. From his first greeting that night — a remarkably normal “Buonasera” (“Good evening”) — to his embrace of refugees and the downtrodden, Francis signaled a very different tone for the papacy, stressing humility over hubris for a Catholic Church beset by scandal and accusations of indifference.

After that rainy night, the Argentine-born Jorge Mario Bergoglio brought a breath of fresh air into a 2,000-year-old institution that had seen its influence wane during the troubled tenure of Pope Benedict XVI, whose surprise resignation led to Francis’ election.

But Francis soon invited troubles of his own, and conservatives grew increasingly upset with his progressive bent, outreach to LGBTQ+ Catholics and crackdown on traditionalists. His greatest test came in 2018 when he botched a notorious case of clergy sexual abuse in Chile, and the scandal that festered under his predecessors erupted anew on his watch. And then Francis, the crowd-loving, globe-trotting pope of the peripheries, navigated the unprecedented reality of leading a universal religion through the coronavirus pandemic from a locked-down Vatican City.

Francis was elected on a mandate to reform the Vatican bureaucracy and finances but went further in shaking up the church without changing its core doctrine. “Who am I to judge?” he replied when asked about a purportedly gay priest.

The comment sent a message of welcome to the LGBTQ+ community and those who felt shunned by a church that had stressed sexual propriety over unconditional love. “Being homosexual is not a crime,” he told The Associated Press in 2023, urging an end to civil laws that criminalize it. READ MORE

The Roman Catholic practice of Good Friday evolved slowly in the 4th century until becoming codified at the Quinisext Council in 692 AD

The Roman Catholic Church likes to pretend that the things they do are the things that they’ve always done, and that is far from the truth. For example, worshipping of Mary was something that developed gradually over time and was not codified until 1854 when Pope Pius IX issued his Ineffabilis Deus. Yet the Vatican likes to make you think it was always that way, and that all the apostles did that, and that is a lie. Another good lie is ‘Good Friday’, much older than Mary worship but still as recent as 692.

“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” 1 John 2:19 (KJB)

Look at the photo at the top of this article, this is what a Good Friday holy day looks like in Europe, this was filmed in Spain. Terrifying, isn’t it? Now you know where the Spanish Inquisition came from. Those of you who know me know that for 30 years before I got saved, I was a Roman Catholic trained in Jesuit schools, and trained as an altar boy in the dark mystery of Mass. I speak not as an outsider, but as one trained at the highest levels of Roman Catholicism.

The Roman Catholic Church created Good Friday in 692 AD, and when celebrated in Europe, this is what it looks like. Terrifying, isn’t it? This video was filmed in Spain, now you know where the Spanish Inquisition came from. Good Friday is Catholic but absolutely not Christian. pic.twitter.com/X7puYeXuqc

The practice of Good Friday observance traces back to ancient times, with some customs documented as early as the 4th century by Egeria. Its evolution into a day of penance and fasting commemorates Christ’s death, with the name “Good Friday” possibly originating from “God’s Friday.” The veneration of the cross likely began in Jerusalem between the 7th and 8th centuries, with references to pre-sanctified Masses dating back to the Quinisext Council in AD 692. source

THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT:

• Nuns
• Priests
• Confession to a priest
• Prayer to Mary
• Veneration of Mary
• Christmas
• Lent
• Good Friday
• Easter
• The Mass
• The Eucharist
• Transubstantiation
• Holy Orders
• Last Rites
• Purgatory

In the Bible, there is no Lent, there is no Good Friday, and the only people celebrating Easter are the pagan Romans like Herod who killed Christians. It breaks my heart seeing Baptist churches putting up signs for ‘holy week’, and ‘come celebrate Good Friday with us’, proving just how hard it is to extricate yourself from the grip of Mother Rome, even for Baptists. That’s why I wrote the handy, little guide showing you the Bible truth about the week-long passion of Jesus Christ.

The faithful gather to see preserved body of ‘God’s influencer’ Carlo Acutis ahead of teen’s canonization as first millennial Roman Catholic saint

Right now over in Italy, the preserved dead body of the 15-year old Roman Catholic Carlo Acutis is on display in a glass coffin, and the Catholic faithful are making pilgrimages to the corpse to worship it. Miracles have been attributed to Acutis, and now he is to be canonized by the Vatican as an official Roman Catholic saint. After he receives that dubious honor, he will then have his own prayer card, and Catholics worldwide will pray to him for healing an miracles. If you are not familiar with the mystery rites of ancient Babylon, then you probably don’t know that this is called necromancy, and it’s forbidden in the Bible. We first wrote about Roman Catholic necrophilia nearly a decade ago.

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.” Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (KJB)

Roman Catholicism is actually a death cult that has an perverse fascination and obsession with death things, like relics for example. Now, if you’re not a Catholic, as I was for 30 years, then you probably don’t know what a ‘relic’ is, and also probably don’t suppose there is anything wrong with it. But what if I told you that the Catholic ‘relic’ is a body part from the dead saint, and it is used as an object of worship. Did you know that every Catholic Church that is built and dedicated has a ‘relic’ of a dead saint under the altar? On the Vatican’s own web site, in Section 302 of The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, it says this: “The practice of placing relics of Saints, even those not Martyrs, under the altar to be dedicated is fittingly retained. Care should be taken, however, to ensure the authenticity of such relics.”

According to the Bible, all born again believers are saints. Are you born again? You’re a saint in the only way that God recognizes saints. “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJB)

Carlo Acutis to be canonized as first millennial Roman Catholic saint

FROM THE NY POST: Faithful Catholics are gathering in droves in an ancient Italian city to view the preserved body of a teenager known as “God’s influencer” — before he is canonized as the first millennial saint next month.

Adorers packed the Sanctuary of the Spoliation in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Assisi to pray and catch a glimpse of the encased body of 15-year-old computer wiz Carlo Acutis this week, photos show. A shop in the medieval town also sold souvenirs and mementos that adorned the young teen’s face. Acutis, a devout British-born Catholic who created a website to document every reported Eucharistic miracle and frequently ministered to the homeless and hungry in his native Milan, died of acute leukemia on Oct. 12, 2006. He was laid to rest inside the Assisi church in April 2019.

After his death, his website and legacy lived on — and in 2020, a miracle attributed to his intercession was approved and recognized by the Vatican. He was credited for healing a 6-year-old Brazilian boy who inexplicably recovered in 2013 from a rare pancreatic condition after touching a relic of Acutis.

“The boy was vomiting and risked dying. Then, on the third day of prayers, he started eating,” Carlo’s mom, Antonia Salzano, said at the time, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“We get news of miracles attributed to Carlo all the time. One woman was cured of her cancer after attending his funeral, and I heard of two more a few days ago. It’s a mystery. I sense the finger of God. Losing your son is the most terrible thing, but we are happy he is helping people discover their faith.”

He was beatified, or given the title “Blessed,” in October of that year.

A second miracle attributed to Acutis’ intercession was formally approved by the Vatican in May 2024, where he was given the title “saint.” The teen’s spirit was responsible for saving the life of a young Costa Rican woman who suffered severe head trauma after she had fallen from her bicycle in Florence in 2022. The woman, named Valeria, required intense craniotomy surgery, but doctors had little faith she could recover. Her desperate mother made the pilgrimage to Acutis’ tomb in Assisi and prayed for her daughter’s recovery — with Valeria suddenly moving and partially regaining her speech a week later.

A CAT scan later showed that her hemorrhage had disappeared, according to the Vatican. Her recovery was so quick that she and her mother made the trip back to Assisi a month later to thank Acutis for stepping in. Acutis will become the first canonized Catholic saint born between 1981 and 1996 — leading some to nickname him “God’s influencer.”

Acutis’ wax-encased body, clad in a tracksuit and sneakers, has been on display for veneration in a sanctuary for more than five years, while his heart is on view in a reliquary in the nearby St. Francis Basilica. READ MORE
