In Stunning Reversal, Pope Francis Tells Coronavirus Quarantined Catholics They Don’t Really Need A Priest To Confess Their Sins To God
In Stunning Reversal, Pope Francis Tells Coronavirus Quarantined Catholics They Don’t Really Need A Priest To Confess Their Sins To God

People who cannot get to confession because of the coronavirus lockdown or another serious reason can go to God directly, be specific about their sins, request pardon and experience God’s loving forgiveness, Pope Francis said.
How well I remember my years as a Catholic, starting as an altar boy and then spending 12 years in the Catholic school system, I can still recall how confusing it all was and how much the priests would constantly contradict themselves. Pope Francis’ statement over the weekend urging Catholics under coronavirus quarantine who cannot get to the confessional with a priest to simply confess their sins to God directly is a great example of that. What the…?? Has the pope become a temporary Protestant? Sure sounds like it.
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.” 1 Timothy 2:5-7 (KJB)
This is where most Catholics fail to make the connection, and understand that no one needs any organized church body to be their mediator between them and God. That’s the freedom of the gospel! If you’re a Catholic, ask yourself this. If the pope is now telling you to confess your sin directly to God, then why on earth did you ever need to get in a box with priest and tell him what belongs to God’s ears only? You didn’t! The truth is your priest has never had the ability to forgive your sins, no priest ever has. Only Jesus can do that, and you need to go to Him directly. So do it.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18 (KJB)
The Roman Catholic Church cannot do anything for you that you cannot do for yourself by simply opening the bible, reading it, believing it and trusting God. If you want to be sure you know where you are going when you die, something no Catholic priest knows, just get saved and become born again. All roads do not lead to Heaven, and the Roman Catholic church is not the “one, true church”, they are a counterfeit imposter. If you never really needed a priest to have your sins forgiven, as Pope Francis is now saying, you don’t need a priest for anything else, either.
If you can’t go to confession, take your sins directly to God, Pope Francis shockingly now says
FROM CRUX NOW: “This is the right time, the opportune moment. An act of contrition done well, and our souls will become white like the snow,” the pope said March 20 during his live-streamed morning Mass.
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Isn’t it amazing how quickly they can change the “never changing doctrine” of the Catholic Church? This is what their own teachings say about confession, and now because of the coronavirus, Catholics suddenly don’t need the priest they told you your whole life you needed? I quoted the Catechism below, read it. Come on, now, think!)
“Confession to a priest is an essential part of the sacrament of Penance: “All mortal sins of which penitents after a diligent self-examination are conscious must be recounted by them in confession, even if they are most secret and have been committed against the last two precepts of the Decalogue” Catechism of the Catholic Church
Pope Francis began the Mass by praying again for doctors, especially in northern Italy, where the COVID-19 pandemic still is infecting thousands and leading to the deaths of hundreds of people each day.
Italy began a nationwide lockdown March 10 in an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Churches are open for private prayer and priests can hear confessions if they are wearing a mask and gloves and stay more than 3 feet away from the penitent. But people are being encouraged not to leave their homes at all.

POPE FRANCIS TELLS CATHOLICS IN ROME THAT A ‘PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP’ WITH JESUS IS ‘DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL’
“Return to your father who is waiting for you,” the pope said. “The God of tenderness will heal us; he will heal us of the many, many wounds of life and the many ugly things we have done. Each of us has our own!”
God welcomes every repentant sinner with open arms, he said. “It’s like going home.” Lent is a special time “to let God wash us, purify us, to let God embrace us,” the pope said, and the best place for that is the confessional.
“But many people today would tell me, ‘Father, where can I find a priest, a confessor, because I can’t leave the house? And I want to make peace with the Lord, I want him to embrace me, I want the Father’s embrace.’”
The pope said his response would be, “Do what the Catechism (of the Catholic Church) says. It is very clear: If you cannot find a priest to confess to, speak directly with God, your father, and tell him the truth. Say, ‘Lord, I did this, this, this. Forgive me,’ and ask for pardon with all your heart.”
Make an act of contrition, the pope said, and promise God, “‘I will go to confession afterward, but forgive me now.’ And immediately you will return to a state of grace with God.” READ MORE

If you’re a Roman Catholic, now would be a great time to exercise logic and ask yourself “if I don’t need a priest in coronavirus quarantine, then why do I ever need one?” You don’t, and you never did. Get saved and you will have access to Jesus Christ directly!

Bibles Behind Bars Staying True To It’s Mission To Bring The King James Bible Into As Many Jails And Prisons That The Lord Will Allow Us To

3 years later, Bibles Behind Bars is staying true to our mandate from God to send His preserved word into as many jails and prisons as we possibly can.
Bibles Behind Bars grew out of our Free Bible Program the day the LORD opened the floodgates for us to send out that first shipment of 1,500 King James Bibles to the prison in Port St. Lucie here in Florida. Since then, we have sent out Bibles to dozens and dozens of jails and prisons all across America. Not only that, we also send out New Testaments, scripture portions, Spanish Bibles and Christian literature of all kinds. We even restocked an entire prison library in Wisconsin! We have always promised the more you give, the more we will do, and by God’s grace are keeping that promise each and every day.
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20 (KJB)
One exciting new project that is still in the planning stages is from the door the LORD opened last year with the NTEB Relief Convoy bringing Bibles, food, clothing and water to hurricane victims in North Carolina. We now have the opportunity to purchase a trailer that Charlton will operate from North Georgia, and it will deliver Bibles, books and supplies where needed throughout a multi-state region. A small shed warehouse is also in the planning stages where everything will be stored until needed. If we get the support we need, around $4,000, this will be our first ‘Triple B’ satellite location, exciting stuff! All of it made possible by your prayers and generous financial support. Please pray about it with us!

THIS IS THE BIBLE TRANSPORT TRAILER WE ARE PRAYING ABOUT, IT COSTS AROUND $4,000 TO PURCHASE, PLEASE PRAY ABOUT IT WITH US!!
Currently, we are still raising funds to send Bibles and books to Farmington Correctional Center A Side in Missouri, Baker Re-Entry and Work Camp in Florida, Richland Parish Detention Center in Louisiana, CH Hazlewood in the Texas Prison System, and the Atascadero Maximum Security State Mental Hospital in California. Hopefully these will go out in the beginning of next week with your help. Over in our Free Bible Program, we send out more free Ruckman Reference Bibles to individuals in need who request them from around the world each year than anyone.

BLOOD LUST: Hamas Ghoulishly Parades The Dead Bodies Of The Jewish Babies They Murdered To The Cheers Of Palestinians Like In A Sporting Event

Hamas released the bodies of four Israeli hostages Thursday morning, including the youngest captive in Gaza, who was taken when he was just 9 months old.
Hamas just did the entire world a favor, and you should honestly thank them for it. They accomplished in mere minutes what a hundred years of writing articles about them could not do. What is that, you ask? Hamas just showed the whole world that they are heartless, murderous animals who not only exterminate children, but make sport and spectacle out of displaying and parading their lifeless corpses. The second thing they showed you is that the “average, everyday Palestinian” loves the work that Hamas does, and is complicit in it with them.
“And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man‘s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Genesis 16:12 (KJB)
When you study the short-lived history of the Nazis in Germany, one thing that stands out is how much they relished the killing that Hitler tasked them with doing. They didn’t just kills Jews in the concentration camps, they starved them, tortured them, and made mountains out of their possessions and body parts to show their utter contempt for human life, especially Jewish human life. Hamas is very much the Nazis of the 21st-century, and the “poor, misunderstood Palestinians” are actually the all-too willing participants in Hamas barbarism. So no, I do not stand with the Palestinians, I do not support Gaza, I stand with the Jews and Israel from right now all the way to the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. Where do you stand?
Hamas parades bodies of four Israelis, including toddlers Kfir and Ariel Bibas, in disturbing display alongside propagandist inscription
FROM THE NY POST: The heartbreaking exchange saw the terror group hand over the bodies of Kfir Bibas, along with his brother, Ariel, who was taken when he was just 4, their mother, Shiri, 33, and Oded Lifshitz, 84. The bodies of the Bibas family — whose kidnapping video became a symbol for the horrors of Oct. 7 — and Lifshitz are set to be transferred to Israel, where a funeral will be held for them.

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) February 20, 2025
The four coffins containing the victims were displayed on stage in front of a disturbing mural depicting a bloody Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — with fangs — standing over pictures of the Bibas family and Lifshiftz, alongside a propagandist inscription. Placed next to the coffins were two missiles with English text reading, “They were killed by USA bombs.”
“Agony. Pain. There are no words,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog wrote on X. “Our hearts — the hearts of an entire nation — lie in tatters.”
Armed Hamas terrorists and Palestinians had crowded the area in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis to watch the transfer of the victims. Each black coffin bore a photo of a victim and Netanyahu along with a propaganda message.
“Every home in Israel bows its head today. We bow our heads for the heavy loss of our four hostages,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. “The four coffins of our loved ones oblige us more than ever to promise, to swear, that what happened on October 7 will never happen again.”
Four Hamas terrorists carried each victim over to a waiting Red Cross vehicle, where workers draped a white sheet over the coffins before placing them in the back. Shiri Bibas was the first, followed by her sons, Kfir and Ariel. Lifshitz was the last victim carried over to the trucks.
The exchange ended when the five Red Cross vehicles left the exchange area in Khan Younis just before 10 a.m. Thursday. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed to The Post that the bodies were handed over to IDF and Israeli Security Agency representatives in Gaza. READ MORE
BREAKING: Israeli Hostages Kfir, Ariel and Shiri Bibas are Dead, Hamas Announces

Donald Trump
PARTY LIKE IT’S 1938: Vladmir Putin And Donald Trump Are Accused Of Dividing Up Europe Much Like Hitler And Mussolini Did Right Before WWII, Are They?

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s peace talks send a chilling ripple of déjà vu, a historian has warned, sending Europe and Ukraine ‘back to 1938’
Someone once remarked that ‘those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it’, and certainly that applies in this article here today. I honestly don’t know what Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are up to, but I will tell you this, they are up to something. It is highly unorthodox to hold peace talks to end a war, and then not allow the other party with whom the war is being waged to attend the meetings. I mean, how does that happen? It only happens when the terms of ending the war are being dictated from one side to the other. That’s not ‘peace talks’, that’s divide and conquer talks.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.” Ecclesiastes 1:9,10 (KJB)
I do not see Donald Trump as the Antichrist, as some have said, and I do not see him as Hitler, either. But what I do see is a man that God has put into office, according to Daniel 2:21, to carry out His will in these end times. This may be hard for some of you to swallow, but God has no interest in ‘making America great again’, not by a long shot. What God does have an interest in is carrying out what He told the prophets would be taking place in the last days. I see Donald Trump as an unwitting messenger by whom many of these events will be fulfilled. Elon Musk is by Trump’s side for a reason, the quicker you figure that out the easier this thing will be for you to understand. Dark days are on the horizon, war is coming, and it will begin in Europe as did the other two. That’s the memo.
‘Land-grabbers’ Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin ‘send Europe back to 1938’ with Ukraine intrigue
FROM THE MIRROR UK: A top history expert has accused the two leaders of “land grabbing”, with events in recent days bearing a chilling echo of when dictators Hitler and Mussolini signed away territory which the UK and France agreed to as to not exacerbate tensions. The US and Russia leaders have already appeared to have charged ahead with Ukraine peace talks, effectively locking out Kyiv and other European leaders.
The Trump administration has said the UK and Europe would not play a part in any negotiations as they looked set to plough ahead with talks in Riyadh this week, prompting fierce criticism and concerns. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to visit Washington DC next week after urging America to provide a “backstop” to any settlement brokered between Kyiv and Moscow. On Tuesday, Mr Trump said the US does not “need” to deploy peacekeeping troops and suggested Ukraine “should never have started” the war.
A British historian has already issued an urgent warning about history repeating itself, and has also likened the current situation to Hitler and Mussolini’s “land-grabbing” of the Sudetenland territory in September 1938. Professor Anthony Glees is an expert in European affairs and security who has previously spoken far and wide about the lessons taught by Hitler’s dictatorship.
He told The Mirror: “I believe most sensible people the length and breadth of Europe are viewing these preparatory talks with a foreboding not experienced since 1938 when the UK & France met Hitler and Mussolini at Munich to sign away lands belonging to free Czechoslovakia to try to appease the fascist dictators. It was sold as ‘peace with honour’ and a ‘peace in our time’.
“But within months Hitler swallowed all of Czechoslovakia and within a year Europe was at war and millions died. Even Neville Chamberlain doubted his own deal because he began rapid rearmament programmes on his return to the UK.”
Prof Glees added: “That’s the picture Europe has before its eyes right now. A small but brave free democracy fighting for its life is forced to be a bystander as its sovereignty is destroyed by Trump and Putin, both land grabbers, both megalomaniacs, brothers in bullying others.
“It’s outrageous that Trump has humiliated Zelensky in the past and now, literally, tramples over him. Whilst we know Putin is fully aware of the history of the last century, Trump, Hegseth and JD Vance are either clueless about what happens when free nations are sacrificed to war lords or (more likely) they couldn’t care less.”
So far, Britain has been making efforts to balance support for Ukraine alongside diplomacy with our biggest ally. The PM is now expected to try and bridge the gap when he visits the White House next week following an impromptu call from Trump last week, and is likely to call for security guarantees from the US.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, along with allies across the continent, have insisted that Kyiv must have a seat at the table in discussions over its future. Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago retreat in Florida on Tuesday night, Mr Trump said that he was “disappointed” Mr Zelensky had complained about being left out of talks. He suggested Ukraine should have been willing to make concessions to Russia before the 2022 invasion, adding: “Today I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited’. Well, you been there for three years. You should have ended it three years (ago). You should have never started it. You could have made a deal.” READ MORE
Trump tells Ukraine ‘you should have never started the war, you could have given up land’ | BBC News
Donald Trump has blamed Ukraine for Russia’s invasion of its neighbour. Speaking after talks between US and Russia on ending the war, the US President told Ukraine: “You should have never started it, you could have made a deal … I could have made a deal that would have given them almost all of the land.”
