But. But. But how does the name Peter enter into the equation?
Pietro di Bernadone - the father of St. Francis! And the Abbazia San Pietro in Assisi! A Benedictine abbey with olive trees, the glory of the olive lives on in a monastery! I'm so sure! Oh, oh! And Pope Francis is Italian descent and Bishop of... Rome! And, and, and, he's living in Rome now - at St. Peter's! Peter the Roman! I know!
Cheer up!
Yeah, it was only a matter of time
before the 3/13/13
prediction went to his head.
Ohhh, okay. I get it now.
ReplyDeleteYou really ought to have your windows open a crack while you paint, you know...
ReplyDeleteTerry, I predict that the Malachy die-hards will go along with that. St Francis was Peter II, since his father was Peter. But THIS Francis, er, Peter II, is of Rome, since he is the pontiff.
ReplyDeleteYep, just watch.
Somebody open a window in here!
Maybe you should take another shower.
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no; you've got it all wrong. Anyone reading between the lines of Francis' first papal sermon can glean that Turkson was truly elected, is the genuine pope, and was all ready to be crowned when he told Bertone that he was gonna regularize the SSPX and make Fellay a cardinal, see? Cappa magna and all.
ReplyDeleteBertone then locked Turkson away in the Sistine Chapel dungeon, but lied to the cardinals and told them Turkson ran away because he heard that Ryan Fitzpatrick was traded from the Bills and there was an opening and he wanted to follow his dreams.
Then he told them all that Peter Marshall appeared to him in a vision holding a tiara and asking Bertone to present it to the Jesuit from Argentina, who is also a 33rd degree member of the Buenos Aires Elks Lodge (he wanted to give it to a real Mason but Burke wouldn't accept).
Ouellet smelled a rat but Francis George (see...it's all connected) told him to zip it, and Dolan was dispatched to break the kneecaps of any of the cardinals who "failed to see the light".
Suddenly, one of the French cardinals bolted for the balcony, but Dolan tackled him just in time (whew!) and threw his powdered wig into the oven. Poof. White smoke.
Out comes Bergoglio the antipope, and the true pope, Peter II Turkson, was sent to live with Benedict in the basement of Castel Gandolfo where all they have for entertainment is some old VHS tapes of "Fish" and "Barney Miller".
But I would have thought that was obvious to anyone who had been paying close attention. Maybe you're just not spiritual enough to see it.
I think I better stop with the prophetic posts. ;)
