Francis and the false Jubilee
December 30, 2024
Scott Lively
Let me start with a disclaimer. While I happen to have been raised Roman Catholic and served as an altar boy in our local parish for a time, I renounced Roman Catholicism in my early teens and am today merely an outside observer of its dramas and heresies. Yet, as a living person on planet Earth, I have a stake in what the largest Christian denomination in the world decides to do in matters of geopolitics, and as a Christian pastor and long-time student of Bible prophecy, I have an even greater stake and a deep interest in matters of RCC theology and religious practice. To be clear, even though I strongly dispute many Catholic doctrines, I have had many Catholic friends over the years whom I recognize as exemplary Christians in character and conduct.
The current head of the Roman Catholic Church, one Jorge Mario Bergoglio, aka “Pope Francis,” is considered by my Catholic friends and many other traditionalist Catholics to be an “anti-pope.” This title of “anti-pope” – the RCC institutional version of a false-Christ – is not merely a political or ideological characterization by disgruntled opponents, but an actual formal status in the ancient arcane polity of the RCC.
Neither is this accusation against Bergoglio a minor kerfluffle. On July 5, 2024, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, a former papal nuncio to the United States no less, was excommunicated for “schism” for denying Bergoglio’s authority. When a simple seven-point summary of the basis for these anti-pope claims was offered by a highly respected Catholic analyst the charges were not formally refuted by the church (as all such claims have been since the case against Felix V in the 1400s), which reluctance actually lends weight to them. In lieu of a Vatican rebuttal, a major Catholic media outlet attempted its own unofficial one. Other dissenters from Bergoglio have been summarily purged.
Sometime after the 2013 installment of Bergoglio on the RCC throne, displacing the legitimate then-still-living Pope Benedict, I went public with a educated hypothesis that Benedict had been subjected to the equivalent of a palace coup, orchestrated or at least facilitated by Barack Obama, to prevent Benedict from cleaning out a rats nest of homosexual activists in control of the church bureaucracy.
Benedict’s predecessor, Pope John Paul II, had strongly hinted of what others began calling the “Vatican gay mafia.” Benedict himself, in his prior role as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under Pope John Paul II, had authored what I still consider to be the gold standard of guidance for Christians on ministry to “gays”: the “Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons.” He was, due to this wisdom and his high stature, the world’s greatest expert on the topic – and fully immune to any accusations of hate and bigotry.
So when Ratzinger became Pope Benedict and eventually went public with the result of his own investigation confirming the reality of the “gay” cabal, he became an existential threat to its political survival. Almost immediately came his sudden “resignation” and subsequent sequestration from public view on the Vatican grounds.
So overwhelming was the proof exposed by Benedict that “Francis” was himself forced to publicly admit its truth, even as he began to serve the interests of those it exposed – in the steady incremental steps of a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist.
Later, in 2016, in reported comments about his memoirs, Benedict purportedly assured the faithful that his resignation was not forced, but I frankly never believed that he was allowed to speak freely on anything threatening to the LGBT agenda of the Bergoglio regime, but was actually a prisoner of it.
However, I believe Benedict was able to convey one exceedingly important truth through more covert channels: a truth about Francis that was made public after Benedict’s death, which I addressed in my Jan. 23, 2023, WND column titled “Pope Benedict’s recently revealed antichrist letter.”
Benedict wrote, “As one sees the power of Antichrist spreading, one can only pray that the Lord will give us mighty shepherds to defend His Church against the power of evil in this hour of need.”
That was in 2015 when he had been in seclusion/captivity in Vatican City for over a year, and Francis and Obama were tag-teaming the 17-point blueprint for global government titled the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”
Those facts brings end-time prophecy directly into the spotlight in regards to Francis’ declaration last week (his second in just 10 years) that 2025 will be a “Year of Jubilee” (complete with indulgences). True Jubilees follow a 50-year calendar set by God in Leviticus 25, rooted in His timekeeping cycles of sevens (Jubilees are 7×7+1). No human power can override His calendar, though the RCC has long attempted to usurp this power for itself. That’s a separate doctrinal problem in its own right, but in the present case as world events flash warning signals of the imminence of the Antichrist’s reign...

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis's Amoris Laetitia.
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost - Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.
Francis Notes:
- Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
"[T]he Pope... WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See."
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said "the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church."

"Francis' heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents."
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.

What is needed right now to save America from those who would destroy our God given rights is to pray at home or in church and if called to even go to outdoor prayer rallies in every town and city across the United States for God to pour out His grace on our country to save us from those who would use a Reichstag Fire-like incident to destroy our civil liberties.
