The Significance of Pope Francis' Leadership for the Church  by expert Catholic professor and theologian. He has taught philosophy and theology in Catholic universities and seminaries. He has published widely on theological questions, in journals that include New Blackfriars, Nova et Vetera, Recherches de Théologie et Philosophie Médiévales, and The Thomist.

The author's last line: The significance of Pope Francis is that Catholic priests and bishops as a body have betrayed Our Lord and the Catholic faithful, and that they must repent, make atonement for their sins, and work to undo the harm they have done.   Thank you, FR

Significance of the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashana = "head of the new year") for Christians, September 2023 Sundown 9/15 - 9/17

 Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour no man knows, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” The Feast of Trumpets is the only ambiguous date among the LORD’s seven appointed feasts due to the necessity of having to sight the new moon to announce the feast.  No one can know ahead of time who or when it will be sighted.  So there is a high holy feast of the Lord that no one knows the date or the time.

Feast of the Trumpet is celebrated as a date of God's judgment when God sits down on the Mercy Seat ("between the Cherubim"-- Psalms 99) and opens the Book of Life to Judge nations.  Many other apocalyptic events including God's judgment are a process, but the day of Christ's return is a single event in human history occurring on a single day.  This feast is thought by Spirit-Digest to be the future date for the completion of purification and the return of Christ. Further, God sat down on the Mercy Seat on 9/11/01.  Sins have gotten progressively much worse since then and His judgments are ongoing and increasingly severe.
