Pope Francis Appoints Men And Women To Create A ‘Synodal Church’ That Will Affirm The LGBTQIA Movement As Part Of The Roman Catholic Church

Pope Francis has been busy appointing men and women who support his vision of an affirming synodal church to positions where it matters.

How do you boil a frog? You put it in a pot of cold water and gradually increase the heat until its legs are too weak from the heat to jump out to safety. Pope Francis is busy boiling his frog right now, only his ‘frog’ is the dream of turning the 1,700 year old institution of the Roman Catholic Church into an LGBTQIA+ affirming organization. As Groucho Marx would say, ‘what’s the secret word?’ Well, Groucho, the answer is ‘synod’. Yep, that’s the winner right there.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:4-6 (KJB)

If you are not a Roman Catholic, chances are you are also not familiar with the words ‘synod’ and ‘synodal’ as it relates to the Roman church. The Vatican News had this to say about it:

“The synodal journey of ongoing conversion encourages us to become a Church that witnesses unambiguously to the equal dignity of each person and of all peoples, both within its internal life, and in its action in the world. Reading the signs of our times in the light of the Gospel, we see that God’s action in the world is not restricted to the Catholic Church! A more synodal Church will be open to ecumenical and interfaith wisdom. It will be open to wisdom from all branches of human knowledge, which continues to develop. It will be open to walking with all people of authenticity on a path of encounter, dialogue and accompaniment.” source

In the more ‘synodal’ church that Francis is building, you are going to see female priests, 6-color rainbow flags, and all manner of queers and transgenders fluttering about to administer the ‘holy sacraments’ to the faith Roman Catholics. All he needed was the right marketing tool to sell it with, and ‘synod’ will get the job done nicely. To push this through, Pope Francis has fingered LGBTQIA-affirming Jesuit priest James Martin. Isn’t it exciting watching the Roman Catholic Church blossoming into the Whore of Babylon? It is if you know your Bible.

Pope Francis appoints men and women to build a synodal church

FROM RELIGION NEWS: This is evident in his recent appointments to the college of cardinals, the synod, to the Roman Curia and to archdioceses. These appointments are important because, as every management consultant will tell you, “personnel is policy.” An organization can have wonderful policies, but if the people responsible for implementing them are not on board, those policies will fail.

On Sunday July 9, Francis appointed 21 new cardinals, 18 of whom are under 80 years of age and therefore able to vote for a new pope in a conclave. After these new cardinals are created at a consistory on Sept. 30, there will be 137 cardinal electors, three more than the previous high in 2001 under John Paul II. Seventy-two percent of the cardinal electors, who will elect the next pope, have been appointed by Francis, which makes it more likely that the next pope will continue the direction Francis has charted for the church.

To the Synod on Synodality, which will begin Oct. 4, Pope Francis appointed four U.S. cardinals and an archbishop who are close to him in thinking.

Among the non-episcopal delegates to the synod — priests and laymen and women — is the Jesuit priest the Rev. James Martin, editor at large for America Magazine and founder of Outreach, a ministry for LGBTQIA Catholics. Martin has been a frequent target of conservative Catholic activists but has been supported in his ministry by Francis. Martin could play a crucial role at the synod in discussions of LGBTQ Catholics. He is also very knowledgeable of Ignatian discernment, a prayerful process that will be key to the success of the synod.

The four U.S. cardinals are: Sean O’Malley, archbishop of Boston; Wilton Gregory, the archbishop of Washington, D.C.; Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago; and Robert McElroy, the bishop of San Diego. The other episcopal appointment is Archbishop Paul Etienne of Seattle.

Also attending the synod is Cardinal Joseph Tobin, archbishop of Newark, who is a member of the Vatican council that has been planning the synod, and Cardinal Kevin Farrell, an American who works in the Vatican Curia. All these prelates are loyal supporters of Francis and his policies. On the other hand, the American bishops selected for the synod by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are less enthusiastic in their support, although none publicly opposes Francis.

Not surprising was the selection of the USCCB president, Timothy Broglio, archbishop of the military services. Presidents are always elected to go to synods. Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, Texas, was another obvious choice because he has been the bishops’ point man on the synod. Also chosen were the chair of the USCCB committee on doctrine, Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana, as well as media-savvy Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, and conference favorite Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York.

The elections took place in secret, so we do not know who wanted to go but did not get chosen. It is noteworthy that the USCCB vice president, Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, was not chosen by the conference since he will most likely step up to be the bishops’ president in November of 2024 just after the Synod on Synodality concludes. It would have helped him in fulfilling his responsibilities as conference president if he had experienced the synod. If the synod is a big success, the bishops may want to elect as president someone who was there. READ MORE

BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: Israel, A Deadly Piece Of Dirt

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Bible declares that the land of Israel is a deadly piece of dirt because the land belongs not to the Jews but to God Himself

The land of Israel is the most-contested and most fought over land that has ever existed anywhere on the face of the Earth, at any time in human history. There is a reason for this, and it has very little to do with the so-called Palestinians, the Muslims, or even the Jews. Israel is a deadly piece of dirt because the land is God’s land, and the Devil wants it. Preached live this morning at the Bible Believers Church at the Bookstore in Palatka, Florida.

“Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.” Acts 7:33 (KJB)

‘President Of Peace’ Donald Trump Orders Airspace Around Venezuela ‘Closed In Its Entirety’ As He Says That US Land Strikes Will Begin ‘Very Soon’

President Donald Trump has declared Venezuela’s airspace is “closed in its entirety” after he vowed US land strikes will start “very soon”.

When President Donald Trump announces that Venezuela’s airspace is “closed in its entirety” and that U.S. land strikes will start “very soon,” you are watching prophecy, geopolitics, and the spirit of the age collide right in front of your eyes. This is no mere ‘diplomatic spat’. This is a global realignment, a chessboard in motion, and a sobering reminder that the times we are living in are not just politically unstable — they are biblically charged.

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)

While Venezuela itself is not listed in the lineup of Ezekiel 39 nations, its patrons absolutely are. Venezuela is not just a troubled socialist state, it is a proxy hub for global adversaries and a strategic foothold for anti-American interests. Its alliances with Russia, Iran, and China make its territory far more than a regional issue. When Trump signals military action, the reverberations aren’t limited to Caracas — they echo in Moscow, Tehran, and Beijing. Russia is the leader of the northern confederacy, and Iran (Persia) is a major player in the prophesied coalition. These alliances are tightening. Their sphere of influence is expanding. And South America is no exception. Every conflict, every provocation, every military escalation is another data point showing us that the world stage is preparing for the next act. Who’s ready to fly?

 Trump declares Venezuela’s airspace ‘completely CLOSED’ after warning land strikes on drug gangs will start ‘very soon’

FROM THE SUN US: The US president’s warning comes amid escalating tensions between Washington and Caracas with fear ramping up over an all-out war over Venezuela’s drug gangs. The airspace closure comes as US and Venezuela continue to clash over Trump’s war on drugs – and the US ramps up its military presence in the Caribbean.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced: “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.”

US military aircraft are already said to be “almost constantly” conducting patrols in the international airspace near Venezuela, a US official told the Washington Post. On Thursday, Trump vowed to escalate military action against alleged drug smugglers, saying the US military would start land operations in Venezuela “very soon”.

He said: “You probably noticed that people aren’t wanting to be delivering by sea, and we’ll be starting to stop them by land also. The land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon.”

Last week, the US aviation regulator warned major airlines of a “potentially hazardous situation” when flying over Venezuela due to a “worsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around” the country. Venezuela has since revoked operating rights for six major international airlines that have suspended flights into the country following the warning from the US Federal Aviation Administration.

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Everything Starts To Make Sense When You Realize That What They Are Building Is Actually The Beast System For Antichrist

Published

November 28, 2025

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Donald Trump is in bed with Palantir and the Tech Titans building the Beast System ahead of the arrival of the soon coming Antichrist and his 7-year kingdom

Before the Antichrist takes his throne, the system must already be in place. Revelation shows us a world where no man can buy or sell without the right app, where every movement is monitored, and where allegiance to a global leader is digitally enforced with an human implantable device.

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Trump, for his part, has long embraced the merging of technology with national security — what the Department of War calls “decision dominance”. Palantir became a central pillar of that doctrine. And now, with the company CEO Alex Karp openly describing itself as “the operating system of the modern world”, the prophetic implications become almost unavoidable. A world where one platform processes nearly all government, military, financial, and personal data is a world perfectly prepared for the Antichrist. Surveillance is sold as safety, Data centralization is sold as efficiency, Global tracking is sold as security. And political figures, whether Trump or anyone else, frame these tools as necessary to protect the nation, for the ‘national good’. Yet every tool built today becomes a weapon in the hands of the Man of Sin tomorrow. This is the danger many Christians miss: The Beast System will be built by people who never imagine they are building it, and you are watching it being built right now whether you believe it or not, whether you can see it or not.
