Have to read lately where a Roman Catholic priest was excommunicated by Pope Francis for comparing him unfavorably to Pope Benedict?
Yes, it is true.
A fellow Roman Catholic priest by the name of Ramon Guidetti presented a tribute to Benedict, and then asserted that Francis was “a Jesuit Freemason linked to world powers, an anti-pope usurper,” whatever that is supposed to mean.
Francis apparently understood what Guidetti said and took exception to the commentary, especially when Guidetti added that Francis’ appearance included “a cadaverous gaze, into nothingness.”
To me that is pretty humorous, since no Roman Catholic priest with a straight face can be another than “cadaverous,” given the heretical nature of the Roman Catholic priesthood.
The Roman Catholic priesthood bares no resemblance to either the Old or New Testament priesthoods described in the Bible, much less does Roman Catholicism’s ritualism.
In fact, the whole Roman Catholic aversion toward the Bible ought to be enough for the average person to understand that Roman Catholicism has nothing to do with God who gave the Bible as a guide for all things pertaining to faith and practice.
So, for Guidetti to lambast Francis is somewhat like the pot calling the kettle black.
That said, when Francis let Guidetti go, he was doing him a favor, and Guidetti seems to be taking it that way too.
Here’s hoping, though, that Guidetti does not do like so many who leave one cult, only to turn right around and involve himself in another one.
Kind of the old jump from the frying pan into the fire schtick.
No, let us hope that Guidetti, by God’s providence and grace, is being led out of a cult and into the Kingdom of God.
It just might take, however, looking into the face of a cadaver, as the first step, to getting there.
