Pope Francis Tells Interviewer That Jesus Christ Was Born As ‘Exceptional Man’ But He Was ‘Not At All A God’ As Vatican Doesn’t Deny Or Demand Correction Of Account

In the latest edition of La Repubblica, Pope Francis’ longtime atheist friend and interviewer, Eugenio Scalfari, claims that the Pope told him that once Jesus Christ became incarnate, he was a man, a “man of exceptional virtues” but “not at all a God.”

Pope Francis told me: ‘They are the proven proof that Jesus of Nazareth, once having become a man, was, though a man of exceptional virtues, not at all a God.'”

The most amazing thing about this story is that neither Pope Francis nor the Vatican had denied the pope made these statements, and neither have they asked La Repubblica to correct the account or retract the statements in full. So that leads me to believe that Pope Francis did indeed make them, and that this shocking accounting is indeed true and accurate. Don’t forget that Eugenio Scalfari and Pope Francis are longtime friends. Scarfari would not misrepresent his dear friend, and the pope feels comfortable enough around him because of that friendship to let his guard down.

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

But Pope Francis has a long and proven track record of denying Jesus Christ, and making statements like it is ‘dangerous to have a personal relationship with Jesus‘. Last year with the same interviewer Scalfari and also in La Repubblica, Pope Francis said that ‘Hell is not real‘ and never denied saying that, either, and the Vatican never asked for a correction or retraction. So maybe we should ask ourselves why Pope Francis is continuing to make these outrageous statements.

“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” Isaiah 14:13,14 (KJV)

If you have been following our reporting on the Catholic Church and Chrislam, then you already know why the pope makes these types of statements. Because as he continues to assemble the One World Religion, he thinks of himself as a god, not unlike the passages we read in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 about Lucifer. Now you know, tell a friend.

Eugenio Scalfari: Pope Francis Told Me That Jesus Incarnate Was a ‘Man … Not at All a God’

FROM CNS NEWS: In the latest edition of La Repubblica, Pope Francis’ longtime atheist friend and interviewer, Eugenio Scalfari, claims that the Pope told him that once Jesus Christ became incarnate, he was a man, a “man of exceptional virtues” but “not at all a God.”

The teaching of the Catholic Church and most Christian churches is that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was incarnated as fully man and fully God.

As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “The unique and altogether singular event of the Incarnation of the Son of God does not mean that Jesus Christ is part God and part man, nor does it imply that he is the result of a confused mixture of the divine and the human. He became truly man while remaining truly God. Jesus Christ is true God and true man. During the first centuries, the Church had to defend and clarify this truth of faith against the heresies that falsified it. (464)”

According to the highly respected Catholic blog, Rorate Caeli, and Radio Spada in Italy, Scalfari states in the Oct. 9 edition of La Repubblica (behind paywall) the following: “Those who, as it has happened many times with me, have had the luck of meeting him and speaking to him with the greatest cultural intimacy, know that Pope Francis conceives Christ as Jesus of Nazareth, man, not God incarnate.”

“Once incarnate, Jesus stops being a God and becomes a man until his death on the cross.”

Scalfari continues, “When I had the chance of discussing these sentences, Pope Francis told me: ‘They are the proven proof that Jesus of Nazareth, once having become a man, was, though a man of exceptional virtues, not at all a God.'”

In a March 2018 interview with Scalfari, Pope Francis reportedly said, “There is no Hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls.”

ANTICHRIST: POPE FRANCIS TELLS CATHOLICS IN ROME THAT A ‘PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP’ WITH JESUS IS ‘DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL’

That interview caused an uproar and the Vatican claimed that what the Pope reportedly said was a “reconstruction” and not “quoted.” The Vatican did not deny what Scalfari reported but said it could not “be considered as a faithful transcription of the words of the Holy Father.”

The Pope himself never denied what Scalfari reported and the article never ran a correction or removed the article from its website.

Commenting on this latest revelation, Rorate Caeli said, “Now, obviously, as it has often happened with Francis’ informal interviews with Eugenio Scalfari, some will try to deny the veracity of what Scalfari, a seasoned journalist, affirms.

“Let us just recall, for the record of events, that there is no reason to doubt its general accuracy. We are way past the time of doubting the general accuracy of the Scalfari quotes.

“Not now, that the papal interviews to Scalfari have been published on the Vatican website, that they have been occasionally published by the Vatican publishing house (LEV) itself – for instance, as part of the book to the right.”

In a statement issued Oct. 9, reported by Church Militant in Rome,  the Vatican said, “As has been affirmed in other occasions, the words that Dr. Eugenio Scalfari attributes between quotes to the Holy Father during his colloquies held with him cannot be considered as a faithful account of what was effectively said, but represent more a personal and free interpretation of that which he heard, as appears entirely evident from what was written today concerning the divinity of Jesus Christ.”

Church Militant’s Michael Voris commented, “That is the relevant part of the statement, and it, in itself, is now creating its own firestorm because it does not actually deny Scalfari’s characterization, merely hinting at the possibility.”

“Likewise, it does not affirm in any fashion that Pope Francis does indeed hold the divinity of Christ during Our Savior’s earthly ministry,” said Voris. READ MORE

Emmanuel Macron Slams Trump For For Creating A ‘New World Order’ And Abandoning His European Allies After Pulling Out Of Dozens Of EU Organizations

Emmanuel Macron decries Trump’s America isolationist stance and says he is ‘destroying the world order’ but what’s really going on?

As if on cue, France’s Emmanuel Macron has now joined Germany’s Frank-Walter Steinmeier in sounding the alarm that Donald Trump is “destroying the world order” by pulling the United States out of a long list of U.N.-linked agreements and institutions they proudly wear as badges of global virtue. Macron, Steinmeier, the U.N., the EU — all of them are architects and defenders of the same framework that conditions the world to accept centralized authority “for the greater good.”

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalms 146:3 (KJB)

One side screams “Global cooperation!” The other side screams “America first!” But neither side is your friend. The Bible tells you not to pin your hope on princes, because today’s hero is tomorrow’s headline, and all of them are dust in God’s hands. It’s the direction of the world to go toward a one-world political order that culminates in a one-world ruler. Trump stepping away from these “woke” U.N. agreements doesn’t derail prophecy, it doesn’t even slow it down. If anything, it agitates the system, forcing elites to double down on calls for stronger global enforcement. Chaos always precedes consolidation. And consolidation always produces a demand for a savior-figure who promises order, stability, and peace — at a cost. Right now you are watching the chaos, just wait for the consolidation. Something worse than the United Nations is coming.

Emmanuel Macron says Trump is ‘destroying world order’ after leaving ‘woke’ UN agreements

FROM METRO UK: The Trump administration announced it wouldn’t take part in the UN’s population agency, international climate negotiations, UN Women and other organisations. Many of the targets are UN-related agencies that focus on issues the Trump administration has categorised as catering to diversity and ‘woke’ intiatives’. Other non-UN organisations on the list include the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance and the Global Counterterrorism Forum.

The move has been slammed by international leaders, with French President Emmanuel Macron saying the US is ‘breaking free from international rules’ and ‘gradually turning away’ from some of its allies.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier went further, saying America was destroying the world order.

‘Then there is the breakdown of values by our most important partner, the USA, which helped build this world order,’ he said. ‘It is about preventing the world from turning into a den of robbers, where the most unscrupulous take whatever they want, where regions or entire countries are treated as the property of a few great powers.’

In the executive order signed by Trump, posted on the White House website, it reads: ‘After deliberating with my Cabinet, have determined that it is contrary to the interests of the United States to remain a member of, participate in, or otherwise provide support to these organisations.’

This July, Trump pulled the US out of UNESCO over its support for what he calls ‘woke causes’.

The State Department accused UNESCO of having ‘a globalist, ideological agenda for international development at odds with our America First foreign policy’. The department’s spokeswoman, Tammy Bruce, said that ‘continued involvement in UNESCO is not in the national interest of the United States’. READ MORE

Macron blasts Trump: ‘America is abandoning its allies’ amid Greenland row

French President Emmanuel Macron sharply criticised the United States under President Donald Trump, saying it is “breaking free from international rules” and “gradually turning away from some of its allies” amid tension over renewed U.S. interest in Greenland. Macron’s remarks, delivered to French ambassadors, reflect growing European concern about Trump’s assertive foreign policy and the perception that long‑standing alliances are being undermined. His comments come as European leaders press for respect for Greenland’s sovereignty and coordinated diplomacy in response to U.S. actions.

DEPARTMENT OF WAR: As Trump Calls For Massive Increase To War Budget, Many Of His Top Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases, Why Now?

As Trump lays out plans for massively increased war budget, his top officials are all moving onto the safety of military bases

Question of the Day: What do Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, Miller, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll all have in common? They have recently moved themselves and their families into military housing normally reserved for generals and high-ranking military officers. Seeing as all these people are civilians, why is this happening? When you add to that Trump’s call yesterday for a massively increased military budget, it sure feels like people are preparing for war.

“Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.” Psalm 140:2 (KJB)

Donald Trump on his Truth Social site yesterday said “I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars.” I believe in a strong military, always have, but isn’t a trillion dollars enough to get that job done? Do we really have to add another $500 billion to that budget? Well, it would all depend on what type of military Trump is looking to build, and more importantly, what is he looking to do with it? Are many of his top people moving onto military bases because they know things about what’s coming that we don’t know? Let’s look at what we do know so far. War is coming, prepare yourself.

Trump On The March:

So when you lay it all out on the table like that, a $1.5 trillion dollar budget for the war machine seems like a pretty good idea. But wait a minute. Isn’t Trump the “president of peace”? Why would a peace-seeking leader need such a high military budget? He says it’s “peace through strength”, but those words ring quite hollow. If you seek peace, then you have a Department of Defense. If war is your goal, then you need a Department of War. I think it’s quite clear why more and more of his top officials are moving onto military bases, you’d have to be blind to miss it.

U.S. On Edge: Trump Cabinet Members In Underground Military Bases

Senior Trump officials — including Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller — have reportedly moved into US military bases near Washington amid security fears following Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The relocation underscores rising tension and political unrest as the administration faces backlash and protests. Living on bases like Fort McNair and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, these top figures cite “organized campaigns of dehumanization.” The White House has since labeled antifa a domestic terror group, heightening the national divide. Officials say the relocations are “temporary security measures.”

ICE Agent In Minneapolis Shoots Woman Renee Nicole Good In the Face Three Times Splattering Her Brains All Over Her Steering Wheel, Trump And DHS Applaud

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The woman that the ICE agent in Minneapolis shot was Renee Nicole Good, a Far Left Liberal and LGTBQ member. Did she deserve to die?

Over the past few months, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been grooming you to accept ‘lethal kinetic force’ as the preferred means of conflict resolution by the Trump administration. Video after video of airstrikes blowing up ‘narco-terrorists’ to wild applause from MAGA world has lead us to where we find ourselves right now. It’s super-easy to do. Just label someone a terrorist, foreign or domestic, it doesn’t matter, and then administer justice by blowing them up. Renee Nicole Good found out about Trump justice earlier this afternoon when an ICE agent blew her brains out all over her steering wheel. Kristi Noem, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, called the woman’s actions leading up to the shooting “an act of domestic terrorism.” Trump said on Truth Social “The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense,”  That was not even close to true.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

Now I understand that Renee Nicole Good, (notice that it’s the victim now that gets the 3 name treatment usually reserved for killers), was a Far Left Liberal, I get that. But I know that from watching the video, the only thing she seemed to be guilty of was attempting to flee the scene. Yes, that’s a crime, but did she deserve to get shot in the face when they could have easily shot her tires and arrested her? No. I hear from some reports that she was a member of the LGBTQ, and possibly a lesbian. Does that make her deserving of death? It does not. But a large part of the MAGA/QAnon crowd who are cheering her slaughter like Romans at the Coliseum thinks it does. When the police murdered Ashli Babbitt and then got away with it scot-free, I thought that was a sickening thing and I wrote about. That woman was not a “domestic terrorist”, and she did not run over any ICE agent. Trump is a liar. The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good is a cold-blooded killer, should stand trial, and let a jury of his peers decide if he is guilty.

Trump claims woman “ran over” ICE agent in Minneapolis before he fatally shot her, video contradicts claim

FROM CBS NEWS: President Donald Trump claimed that the woman who was shot and killed by an ICE officer in south Minneapolis Wednesday “viciously ran over the ICE Officer” prior to her death, though the video evidence he shared showed no sign of an officer being run over in the incident.

Trump posted a video of the encounter to Truth Social, which he owns, Wednesday afternoon. In his comments, he claimed “the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting.” The video, which appears to have been taken from a nearby residence above ground level, shows the woman’s vehicle appear to drive away as multiple federal agents approach. However, the video also shows that no officer was run over by the vehicle.

While Trump said the video “is a horrible thing to watch,” he also said “these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis.”

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem earlier characterized the driver’s actions as an “act of domestic terrorism.” However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who said he’s also seen the witness videos, called the ICE narrative of the encounter “bulls**t.”

Witnesses have told WCCO that the incident happened at about 9:30 a.m. near the intersection of 34th and Portland. Witnesses say they saw a Honda Pilot blocked by multiple federal agents. Other video angles WCCO has obtained show an agent trying to open the driver’s side door, before the driver attempts to drive away. Witnesses said they then heard three shots fired. The Pilot is seen in other videos driving another several feet before crashing into another vehicle.

The victim was a 37-year-old woman, according to Frey, and a U.S. citizen, according to Sen. Tina Smith. City leaders said the victim was a legal observer of federal actions in the city and wasn’t a target for an ICE-related arrest. READ MORE
