'Asked about Pope Francis’ frequent warnings of a Third World War being fought “piecemeal,” the Vatican Secretary of State agreed that the international system is facing a “phase of great uncertainty” with multiple actors having differing and conflicting interests. He also said a doubling in number of those living in absolute poverty over the past 30 years (now 400 million people) means there cannot be neither peace nor development in those areas.'
The Blessed Mother has told us that the cause of war is mankind not turning back from all the massive sinning going on in the present world. So it would seem to me it would be more productive to judge Pope Francis on how well he is getting 1.2 billion Catholics to repent, for the sake of world peace.
I have done the math, and it is trillions of dollars that Catholics, above the poverty line, have not tithed to the poor, out of hatred for God and hatred for fellow starving man. If Catholics hate God through refusing to tithe, to feed the poor, and would rather squander God's portion of their paycheck on themselves, while the poor die of starvation, how does the job of feeding the poor automatically fall on the American tax payer? I think a good way to judge Pope Francis would be to see how well he can get 1.2 billion Catholics to repent, pay their tithe as God commands them, and have the Catholic Church feed the poor, out of love for Jesus. The side effect will be, to bring a tremendous number of Catholics, who repent to feed the poor as Jesus commands, into eternal life.
NAB MAT 25:31
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.' Then the righteous will answer him and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?' And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.' Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.' Then they will answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?' He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.' And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
