Pope Francis Calls For A ‘Paradigm Shift’ In Roman Catholic Theology To ‘Facilitate Collaboration’ With Other Religions Like Buddhism And Atheists

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Pope Francis has called for a ‘paradigm shift’ in Catholic theology that takes widespread engagement with contemporary science, culture, and people’s lived experience as an essential starting point. In other words, the One World Religion

On a daily basis, Pope Francis continues to do everything we give him credit for doing, which is to be the driving force behind preparing the coming kingdom of Antichrist. Pope Francis is already the king of Vatican City, Revelation 18, and he is the spiritual leader over the counterfeit Christian Church, Revelation 17, known as Roman Catholicism. His recent comments on changing their theology, such as it is, is perfectly inline with the coming One World Religion of Antichrist.

“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 17:5,6 (KJB)

I was a Roman Catholic for 30 years of my life before getting saved in 1991. I was well trained as an ‘altar boy’ in the myriad religious rites of Catholicism, and spent 12 long years being trained in ‘theology’ by Franciscan and Jesuit priests, nuns and bishops. I can assure you that the theology of the Roman Catholic Church has next to nothing in common with Bible doctrine and teaching, except where it mimics it for it’s own purposes. But I am glad to see Pope Francis continuing his quest to merge the Roman Catholic Church with all the religions and atheists of the world. I’m sure it’s a relief for him on some level to ‘come out of the closet’ and stop pretending he’s a Christian. He absolutely is not.

Pope Francis calls for ‘paradigm shift’ in theology for world of today

FROM THE CATHOLIC NEWS AGENCY: Citing the need to deal with “profound cultural transformations,” the pope presented his dramatic vision for the future of Catholic theology in a new motu proprio issued earlier today. Titled Ad Theologiam Promovendam, or “to promote theology,” the document revises the statutes of the Pontifical Academy of Theology (PATH) “to make them more suitable for the mission that our time imposes on theology.”

“Theology can only develop in a culture of dialogue and encounter between different traditions and different knowledge, between different Christian confessions and different religions, openly engaging with everyone, believers and nonbelievers,” the pope wrote in the apostolic letter.

Pope Francis wrote that Catholic theology must experience a “courageous cultural revolution” in order to become a “fundamentally contextual theology.” Guided by Christ’s incarnation into time and space, this approach to theology must be capable of reading and interpreting “the Gospel in the conditions in which men and women live daily, in different geographical, social, and cultural environments,” the pope wrote.

The pope contrasted this approach with a theology that is limited to “abstractly re-proposing formulas and schemes from the past” and repeated his long-standing criticism of “desk bound theology.” Instead, he emphasized that theological studies must be open to the world, not as a “‘tactical’ attitude” but as a profound “turning point” in their method, which he said must be “inductive.”

Pope Francis emphasized that this bottom-up re-envisioning of theology is necessary to better aid the Church’s evangelizing mission.

“A synodal, missionary, and ‘outgoing’ Church can only correspond to an ‘outgoing’ theology,” the pope wrote.

Relatedly, the pope said, this dialogical approach can allow theology to “broaden the boundaries” of scientific reasoning, allowing it to overcome dehumanizing tendencies.
‘Transdisciplinary’ and pastoral

To achieve this “‘outgoing’ theology,” Pope Francis wrote that theology must become “transdisciplinary,” part of a “web of relationships, first of all with other disciplines and other knowledge.” This engagement, he wrote, leads to “the arduous task” of theologians making use of “new categories developed by other knowledge” in order to “penetrate and communicate the truths of faith and transmit the teaching of Jesus in today’s languages, with originality and critical awareness.”

Pope Francis also wrote that priority must be given to “the knowledge of people’s ‘common sense,’” which he described as a “theological source in which many images of God live, often not corresponding to the Christian face of God, only and always love.”

The pope said that this “pastoral stamp” must be placed upon all of Catholic theology. Described as “popular theology,” by starting from “the different contexts and concrete situations in which people are inserted” and allowing itself “to be seriously challenged by reality,” theological reflection can aid in the discernment of the “signs of the times,” the pope wrote.

“Theology places itself at the service of the evangelization of the Church and the transmission of faith, so that faith becomes culture; that is, the wise ethos of the people of God, a proposal of human and humanizing beauty for all,” the pope wrote.

The pope’s shift in emphasis in Catholic theology was reflected in the new statutes issued for the Pontifical Academy of Theology. Ad Theologiam Promovendam shifted the 200-year-old institute’s focus from “promoting the dialogue between reason and faith” to promoting “transdisciplinary dialogue with philosophies, sciences, arts, and all other knowledge.” The new statutes place PATH “at the service of academic institutions dedicated to theology and other cultural and knowledge development centers interested in reaching the human person in his context of life and thought.”

The change was welcomed by PATH’s president, Bishop Antonio Staglianò.

“Pope Francis entrusts our Pontifical Academy with a new mission: that of promoting, in every area of knowledge, discussion, and dialogue in order to reach and involve all of the people of God in theological research so that the life of the people becomes theological life,” the Italian prelate said in a press release.

The new statutes call for PATH to facilitate collaboration between Catholic theologians and “those of other Christian confessions or religions.”

The academy will also “‘network’ with universities and centers of production of culture and thought” and explore “culturally qualified” ways to propose the Gospel as a life guide to even atheists, a process described in the PATH press release as “wisdom dissemination.”

In harmony with “the magisterium of Pope Francis,” under the new statutes PATH will also exercise a commitment to “intellectual charity” by focusing on the questions and needs of those “on the existential peripheries.” READ MORE

DOUBLE TROUBLE: Russian Warplanes Spotted Off The Coast Of Alaska As China Flexes Muscle By Stopping Rare Earth Mineral Exports To United States

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Russian warplanes have been detected off the coast of Alaska in a terrifying escalation, military officials said Tuesday.

When WWIII breaks out, plus or minus 10%, the Axis powers will be China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, this is known today as the CRINK Alliance. During WWII, Adolf Hitler all through the 1930’s was constantly doing little maneuvers to see at what point the pushback would come. As it turns out, the ‘pushback’ didn’t come until war was officially declared, too late, and the rest is history. Right now, America is being maneuvered by China, Russia, Iran and North Korea to see how much we will take. The time to pushback is right now, or pay the consequences. That’s the memo.

Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.” Daniel 11:39 (KJB)

Talks with Iran about curbing their nuclear policies is fruitless and stupid, time for talk is over. Trump needs to do what he has been threatening to do, and take out their nuclear reactors in one fell swoop. The next time a Russian plane enters American airspace, shoot it down. Too harsh, you say? Fun fact, they are getting ready to do that to us. As far as China goes, taunting us by withholding rare earth minerals we need to maintain our technological and military edge? Cut them off completely, starting today. But we won’t do that because we can’t do that. America is a debtor nation to the Red Communists, they know it we know it. This is where world wars are born, and you’re at the birth of one right now.

Russian war planes detected flying off coast of America

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Officials with the North American Aerospace Defense Command said Russian aircraft never entered American or Canadian airspace. Authorities did not name the type of Russian aircraft, how many flew close to the coast nor what their purpose was.

The Russian planes remained in international airspace, but reportedly crossed into a region named the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), which is beyond sovereign US airspace. Aircraft are expected to identify themselves in the ADIZ, and NORAD says it surveils the area to maintain national security.

It comes just two months after US fighter jets were scrambled to the ADIZ region twice in three days when Russian military aircraft, including bombers, were also detected.

That incident first saw two bombers and two fighter jets buzz near Alaska, and after they were shadowed away by US aircraft, Russia followed it two days later by sending two more jets in a show of force. READ MORE

China suspends rare earth exports, kneecapping US industry reliant on Beijing’s ‘monopoly’

FROM THE NY POST: China has stopped shipping some heavy rare earth metals and magnets critical to US production of everything from cellphones to fighter jets as Beijing’s trade war with Washington simmers, leaving American industry in a bind.

Effective April 3, China is no longer exporting seven heavy rare earth metals processed exclusively in the Asian power, as well as heavy rare earth magnets — of which about 90% of the world’s supply are also synthesized on Beijing’s territory.

The export halt applies to all countries, but access to elements like dysprosium and yttrium is critical to US industry — especially in the tech, electric vehicle, aircraft and defense sectors, according to Drew Horn, who served as the top US official on strategic minerals and energy supply chain development in President Trump’s first administration

“Rare earths are in everything,” he told The Post Monday, singling out “the EV and auto space … [and] everything from cellphones, defense key components, [and] space travel.”

“China,” Horn added, “has essentially created an all-powerful monopoly with them.” READ MORE

POWER PLAY: Emmanuel Macron Moves On Creation Of Palestinian State With PA President Mahmoud Abbas To Establish Framework For UN Meeting In June

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, along with plans for Gaza and a Palestinian state

Emmanuel Macron is smelling victory, and had this to say on X earlier today: “I have just spoken with President Mahmoud Abbas. France is mobilizing all its forces to achieve the release of all the hostages, to renew a stable ceasefire and to ensure immediate access for humanitarian aid to Gaza. It is essential to build a framework for the day after: to disarm Hamas and remove it from the scene, to establish a credible government and to reform the Palestinian Authority. These steps will allow, within the framework of the June conference, progress towards a two-state political solution, for the peace and security of all. We need peace.” And there it is.

“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)

The full and official title of the event is Modalities for the High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution. It is to be held at the United Nations headquarters Monday June 2 and go to Wednesday June 4. Keynote speaker will be Emmanuel Macron along with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The two men will serve as co-chairs of the event. The purpose of this meeting is to, finally, create a Palestinian state on Israeli land. As of the date of this writing, we are 7 weeks away from this momentous end times event.

PA President Abbas, French President Macron discuss Israel-Hamas ceasefire, reject Gaza plan

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, along with plans for Gaza, during a Monday phone call, Palestinian state-run WAFA News Agency reported Monday. Abbas emphasized the “urgent need for a ceasefire and the swift delivery of humanitarian aid” into the Gaza Strip. Abbas also stated his “firm rejection” of the plan to relocate Gazans from the Strip.

The two discussed the possibility of the Palestinian Authority assuming “full responsibility” in Gaza, including security duties, with the goal of “international legitimacy, one system, one law, and one legitimate source of arms.”

France’s recognition of a Palestinian state

Macron said on Wednesday France could recognize a Palestinian state in June, adding that in turn some countries in the Middle East could recognize the state of Israel.

“We need to move towards recognition of a Palestinian state. And so over the next few months, we will. I’m not doing it to please anyone. I’ll do it because at some point it will be right,” he said during an interview on France 5 television. READ MORE

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Donald Trump Who Brought Us The Pandemic, The Lockdown And mRNA Vaccines Now Gives Us Mandatory Biometric Real ID

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

It would seem that President Donald Trump is being used by God to advance the end times timeline in preparation of the coming Antichrist, get ready for Real ID

Last week on our X page, we brought you the news that Trump’s Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem made the stunning announcement that starting May 7th of this year, all citizens of the United States who wish to fly will now be required to carry the biometric digital identification known as Real ID. No exceptions. If you’re waiting for Trump to make America great again, you will find yourself still stuck in the waiting room. What is Trump up to? Being used of God and by God to advance the end times timeline. That’s the memo.

For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, this is what Ron Paul has said about Real ID. “The REAL ID Act establishes a national ID card by mandating that states include certain minimum identification standards on driver’s licenses. It contains no limits on the government’s power to impose additional standards. Indeed, it gives authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security to unilaterally add requirements as he sees fit. Supporters claim it is not a national ID because it is voluntary. However, any state that opts out will automatically make non-persons out of its citizens. The citizens of that state will be unable to have any dealings with the federal government because their ID will not be accepted. They will not be able to fly or to take a train. In essence, in the eyes of the federal government they will cease to exist. It is absurd to call this voluntary.” Y’all get that? Sure hope so. On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we bring you up to speed on the preparation of the United States of America to join the Beast system.
