It's not possible for a demon-worshipper to be the pope
Otherwise, Our Lord was lying when He said the gates of hell would never prevail.
And the Lord spoke all these words: I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
Exodus 20: 1-5
The First Commandment, noted above, is the first for a reason. I know it’s hard to believe in our earthly minds that worshipping a false god is more grave than murdering someone but it is. Ultimately when we face our personal judgement, we’re not going to have slick lawyers defending our actions, nor will we have emotional, sympathetic women judges on the bench, nor will be have an endless appeal process. Those who worship false gods (aka. demons) will face a much more severe justice than adulterers and even murderers. For those who are priests or religious and thus held to a higher standard, the justice rendered will be even more severe.
My patience was severely tested from 2013 to about this time last year when well-intentioned fellow Catholics asked me to “pray for the conversion of Pope Francis (sic)” and especially after the pachamama scandal. I didn’t join them then and I’m going to be a lot less patient now in light of this news with Robert Prevost, falsely presented as the illusion of “Pope Leo XIV.” Yes, I will pray for the conversion of Robert Prevost but not for “Pope Leo” because there is no “Pope Leo” just like there was no “Pope Francis.” IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR NON-CATHOLIC HERETICS TO BE POPES. Otherwise, the gates of hell have prevailed and Our Lord, The Way and The Truth, wasn’t telling the truth when He told St. Peter that would never happen. Our Lord is The Way and The Truth; He is not capable of lying.
There are lots of Substack posts and articles outside Substack about yesterday’s revelation that Prevost partook in a demonic worship ceremony of the pachamama back in 1995. I’m going to recommend Novus Ordo Watch’s coverage for any who have not read it. Likewise, I am also recommending Ann Barnhardt’s coverage Tuesday the 17th, before the Prevost news broke, that the pachamama demon cult was/is involved in the satanic acts of human sacrifice.
How sick is it that the princes of the world, masquerading as the head of the Catholic Church have publically reverted to the type of human sacrificial, demon worship that Our Blessed Mother ended when she appeared in Guadelupe?
Saint Joseph, head of the holy family and TERROR OF DEMONS, on this your feast day, pray for us!
With charity toward all, as Our Lord teaches, I hope my words are understood in their kindest sense and received as an invitation to dialogue on this painful shared struggle.
I understand and share the disgust and grief that animate your words, because the thought of men in the Church being tied in any way to idolatry, sacrilege, or even the appearance of demonic corruption is spiritually revolting. I do not pretend to know the state of a man’s soul, but I do know that Catholics are commanded to judge rightly and to recognize fruits when they see them: ‘judge with right judgment’ and ‘you will know them by their fruits’ (Jn 7:24; Mt 7:16). Therefore, when popes, bishops, or priests publicly advance confusion or behavior contrary to the perennial teaching of the Church, I have both the right and the duty to identify it as scandal. The Catechism is clear that scandal matters, because ‘scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil’ (CCC 2284). That is not rash condemnation of persons, but moral clarity about public acts.
At the same time, I accept that this crisis is also a chastisement permitted by God, and one the faithful must bear in a spirit of reparation, prayer, penance, and fidelity. Christ warned that scandals would come and that many would fall away, yet He also promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church (Mt 18:7; Mt 24:10-13; Mt 16:18; CCC 869). So endurance is not passivity; it is faithful perseverance.
If we follow your premise to its logical conclusion, the next question is where the faithful are to turn. I do not believe the answer is the Orthodox, who have long departed from full Catholic unity, nor do I believe the answer is to treat the SSPX or isolated traditional chapels as if they alone were the whole Church. The Catholic Church remains the one Church founded by Christ, universal in mission and destined to preach the Gospel to all nations (Mt 28:19-20; CCC 811, 816, 830). For that reason, I will not leave the Church, even when many within her hierarchy act faithlessly.
The analogy that comes to mind is the mass departure from the Church after Vatican II. When priests tore out beautiful altars, kneelers, artwork, and the visible signs of reverence, many faithful Catholics left because they felt they no longer recognized their Church. But leaving was itself part of the tragedy. The crisis was not only that sacred things were being dismantled, but that so many abandoned the battlefield instead of staying to defend what was true, beautiful, and holy. That is the parallel to our own time. If the hierarchy causes scandal, the faithful are not justified in fleeing the Church; rather, they are called to remain, resist error, make reparation, and cling even more firmly to the faith once delivered” (Jude 3; Acts 5:29; Mt 16:18).
Instead, I will remain Catholic and respond as a Catholic: teach my family, support faithful priests, seek reverent liturgy where possible, and keep the sacraments at the center of life. The Eucharist remains ‘the source and summit of the Christian life’ (CCC 1324). In times of confusion, ordinary fidelity matters immensely: prayer, confession, penance, doctrine, and charity (Jn 6:68; CCC 1430-1438). True charity does not excuse evil; it speaks the truth, resists sin, makes reparation, and clings all the more firmly to the faith once delivered to the saints (Acts 5:29; 2 Thess 2:15; Jude 3).
I will not leave the Church, and I will not call darkness light. I will bear this chastisement as a Catholic: with truth, reparation, sacrifice, and fidelity, trusting not in men, but in Christ, who remains faithful to His promise that the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church (Mt 16:18; CCC 869).
What are your thoughts on where we go from here together?
Am I confused… I thought Popes are supposed to RESIGN when exposed in a SCANDAL like Idol Worship … where’s the Catholic Outrage ?
