Francis says that our hope is not Jesus, but Mary and Mother Church
"The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead theirdough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger." Jeremiah 7:18
Even though they lie and say that they are only "venerating" her, the Roman Catholic Church has since the middle 1800's worshipped Mary from the New Testament. They create idols of her, call her the Queen of Heaven, ascribe all sorts of miracles to her statues and bow down to her in worship. As someone who was raised in the Catholic Church and trained by Jesuits, I can testify that this 100% true. But Pope Francis this past weekend took Mary worship, a sin, to staggering new heights.
Francis, speaking to mark the occasion of the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows in Casa Santa Marta, said the following:
Jesus has been demoted to third place behind 'mother' Mary and the 'Holy Mother Church', the Roman Catholic Church. The bible says, however that the "blessed hope" of the Christian is "the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ." Scripture never mentions Mary one time as being the hope of anyone or anything. But if you're a Catholic Francis says that " today we can go forward with a hope: the hope that our Mother Mary, steadfast at the Cross, and our Holy Mother, the hierarchical Church, give us."
The position and title that Pope Francis has bestowed on Mary is, by his own words, equal or greater than that of the 2nd part of the Trinity, Jesus Christ. And though he has yet to use the words, he has effectually already placed her status firmly at the Godhead level.
Interesting thing, in the book of Revelation and speaking of the Roman Catholic Church, the apostle John writes this about that 'holy mother church':
And that's what God thinks of the "holy Roman Mother Church".
