Did Jesuit Pope Francis order “Jesuit” Joe Biden to commute the death sentences of federal death row inmates?

While you won’t find any public order – although you will find a public prayer as discussed below – from the Papal Antichrist to Joe Biden demanding the President commute the death sentences of the 40 federal death row inmates, consider the following events and decide for yourself if this is what happened.

According to this post from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) website dated 12/20/2024,[1] Pope Francis and Joe Biden spoke by phone on 12/19/2024. The USCCB article quotes a statement from the White House[2] that same day that reads, “President Biden also graciously accepted His Holiness Pope Francis’ invitation to visit the Vatican next month.”

Sebastian Zapeta, the man suspected of setting a woman on fire on a New York subway. Reports indicate that he’s from Guatemala and is an illegal alien. According to Tom Homan, Trump’s incoming Border Czar, the Biden Regime “did not deport [him] when they had the chance.” Sadly, another American is dead because of the treasonous immigration policy of “Jesuit” Joe Biden and his Antichrist boss in the Vatican.

Antichrist never stops lying about what the Scriptures teach about immigration, not even during Christmas. Quite the contrary, far from taking a break from his lies during Christmas, the Pope and his henchmen crank up the volume, hoping to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Central to the Antichrist’s Christmastide immigration lies is his attempt to spin the millions upon millions of illegal aliens pouring across America’s southern border as mirroring the Biblical account of Joseph taking Mary and Jesus and fleeing to Egypt to escape Herod’s persecution.

While on the surface, Rome’s argument may seem plausible, closer examination shows it to be just another lie from the Antichrist Roman Catholic Church-State designed to further its globalist ambitions. Let’s take a look at it.

My Comments: Is Antichrist going bankrupt? We can always hope so. According to the link below, donations are down, and the Vatican’s pension is majorly in the hole. Things are looking kinda bleak for the seven-headed beast, but something tells me he’ll probably manage to find a way to keep on keeping on.

A bit of history…Many people don’t know this, but Antichrist was financially on the ropes in the early 16th century. Things got so bad that Church-State had to suspend construction of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome for lack of funds. The report is that weeds were springing up out of the unfinished columns. Definitely not a good look. Bad curb appeal.

This prompted Rome to send out its indulgence salesman extraordinaire, Johannes Tetzel. And it was Tetzel’s hawking indulgences that got a certain Augustinian monk fired up enough to post 95 theses on a church door in Wittenberg. Funny to think that the Lord used the Vatican’s wobbly finances to kick off the Protestant Reformation.

In case you’re wondering, indulgences are still a thing with the Vatican. In fact, as the article below notes, “Pilgrims, lured by the promise of indulgences and spiritual renewal, are anticipated to inject much-needed revenue into the Vatican’s coffers.”

Maybe Antichrist has a 21st-century version of Johannes Tetzel waiting to hawk those indulgences.

Maybe it’s time for another Augustinian monk to do his thing.

Antichrist never stops his irredentist immigration war and America, so American Christians ought never to stop exposing it.

It’s always tempting to suppose that we can defeat Antichrist – by “Antichrist,” I mean the Pope of Rome, currently Jorge Bergoglio, dba Francis I – with one sermon, blog post, or presidential election. But if the Protestant Reformation couldn’t finish him off for good, there’s no reason to suppose that going to the polls in November and voting for the candidate who promised to end Jesuit Joe Biden’s illegal alien assault on America will finish him off for good, either.

As a friend likes to say, we’re pretty much stuck with Antichrist until the Lord returns. He’s right. And I don’t say that to come off as a downer but because I believe that’s what the Bible teaches.

Here are a few stories that show Antichrist is alive and well and determined to continue its irredentist immigration war on the United States.

“Catholic Charities servicing refugees at accelerated rate” is a story Carolyn sent me from a local TV station in Amarillo, TX. One notable line from this piece is, “The new [Trump administration] policy could make the reunification process go from monthslong to a yearslong process.” This is a lie. Families can be reunified immediately by those illegally residing in the United States returning to their families in their countries of origin. This they can do at any time. When Rome or those sympathetic to Rome talk about “reunification of families,” they mean bringing in more welfare migrants and forcing Americans to pick up the tab.

Of course, we can’t overlook the term “refugees” either. What Catholic Charities calls “refugee resettlement” is simply their euphemism for illegal alien resettlement. And even if they are not illegal aliens and actually are refugees, contrary to Antichrist’s evil and incompetent economic and political thought, they have zero claim on the property of the American people.  

Here’s another piece to remind you just how much America’s Roman Catholic bishops hate the American people. “California bishops write letter of support for migrants amid mass deportation fears.”

Timed to coincide with the feast of “Our Lady of Guadalupe” on December 12, the bishop’s statement is titled “Am I Not Here, I Who Am Your Mother?” which are the words the demon impersonating the biblical Mary supposedly said to Juan Diego when it appeared to him in 1531.

It’s not often appreciated the extent to which Antichrist invokes the words or images of its demon goddess of Guadalupe to justify its immigration invasion of the United States. But once you begin to see it, as the saying goes, you can’t unsee it.

In their letter, the California bishops decry the “fear” that exists among “so many we shepherd in our dioceses” due to big, bad Donald Trump’s threats of mass deportations. Question, if the Roman Catholic bishops are harboring so many individuals they admit to knowing are illegal aliens, does this not make them guilty of aiding and abetting the crime of illegal immigration? Doing so is a violation of U.S. law. The Trump administration should arrest those bishops for their illicit activities and deport them back to their daddy in the Vatican.

It’s remarkable how openly and brazenly the Catholic bishops talk about their contempt for American law. In an article titled “Archbishop Lori says church will continue to minister to migrants, listen to the people,”

After saying, in effect, that the Church-State will continue with its illicit aid to illegal aliens, the lying Archbishop laughably goes on to say, “We certainly do not encourage illegal immigration.”

Apparently, the Archbishop doesn’t believe bearing false witness is a sin.

Dogs bark, and ducks quack. It is their nature to do so; expecting them to do otherwise is foolish. So it is with Antichrist. He and his lying henchmen in Catholic Charities and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will continue to lie and steal and subvert, for it is their nature to do so. They can do no other. Christians must realize this and never let up exposing their evil, just as our Reformation forefathers did.

Trump to end birthright citizenship for illegal aliens on day one.

Some of the best news on the immigration front I’ve ever heard is Donald Trump’s promise to sign an executive order to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens on day one of his term in office. Trump called the practice “ridiculous,” which indeed it is.

Of course, the Antichrist Roman Catholic Church-State, its frontmen, and other groups with a vested interest in committing treason against the United States of America will howl and scream and beat their breasts in opposition. Expect serious pushback from them, as all these evildoers know full well how important awarding citizenship to the children of illegal aliens born on American soil is to their treasonous, irredentist immigration assault on America.

Trump vows to end birthright citizenship and pardon US Capitol rioters” by Jude Sheerin, BBC News, 12/09/2024, accessed 12/10/2024.

One of the content producers I follow on YouTube will often make this point: Everyone born after 1965 is a feminist.

The first time I heard him say it, I thought he might be overgeneralizing. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

Just thinking about my own experience – and I was born in 1966, so this statement applies to me – I have never known a time in my life when I wasn’t almost continuously assaulted with feminist propaganda. And I’ve always hated it. Yet there was no, or at least very little, pushback against it explaining why it was wrong.

There certainly seemed to be little appetite to push back on feminism from Christian sources, and this even though the Bible was replete with passages, some quite explicit, teaching that feminism was wrong and those who pushed its message were far from the mind of God.

Thoughts on Thankfulness

Having just celebrated Thanksgiving Day, thankfulness has been on my mind lately.

I know I’ve said on my podcast that I’m not always the best when it comes to seeing the bright side of things. More to the point, I’m a natural pessimist. I tend to expect the worst. This mindset has one advantage: I don’t get overly hyped up about something, only to later get disappointed when it doesn’t come to pass.

Just to illustrate my point, last night I was watching a football game between my alma mater the University of Cincinnati and Texas Christian University. UC went down early in the game. But in the second half, they started to mount a comeback. UC closed to within 7 points with a touchdown and had the opportunity to cut the lead to 6 with an “automatic” extra point.

Alas, it was not to be.

UC’s kicking game has had problems the past few years. This time, the kicker pushed the ball to the right of the goalpost. No good.

But wait! There was a flag on the play. TCU, as it turned out, had jumped offside! UC would get another shot at the extra point. There’s no possible way they could miss two extra points in a row. Right?

Wrong.

The second kick was worse than the first. This time, instead of the extra point going wide right, the kicker gave it a nasty hook to the left. It was almost as if he was aiming for the sideline, not the goalpost. I was reminded of Luther’s comment about mankind being like a drunkard who, having fallen off the horse on one side, gets back on only to fall off the horse on the other side.

Oh well.

Never in a lifetime of watching football have I ever seen a team miss consecutive extra point attempts. I suppose it’s happened before. But it doesn’t happen very often.

The missed extra points spelled the end of the road for UC’s comeback attempt. They went on to lose 20-13. And not only that, but it was also the season finale and UC’s fifth consecutive loss. What a rotten way to close out the year.

Now you know at least one reason I’m a pessimist: I’ve been trained by years of watching Cincinnati sports teams’ futility.

I mentioned earlier that pessimism has one advantage: it keeps you from disappointment. On the other hand, expecting the worst can cultivate a jaded view of life that can keep you from seeing the blessings that the Lord sends your way. I know. I’ve been guilty of missing many of those blessings in my own life or of taking them for granted.

In a men’s Bible study I attend, we always close with prayer by going around the table, each man having the opportunity to pray. One of the regular attendees will always close his prayer with “thank you for loving us.” I’ve always appreciated that. It’s good prayer language, reminding us that God didn’t have to send his Son to die in our place to atone for our sins.   

The Lord didn’t have to love us. He could have left us to die in our ignorance and face judgment clothed in our own “righteousness” rather than that of his Son, Jesus Christ. How would any of us fare under those circumstances? I can safely say that it wouldn’t go well.

The psalmist wrote, “He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities.” Now that’s something to be thankful for.

Even for a natural pessimist…or a Cincinnati sports fan.
