Pope John Paul ll
*
This pope is the last
of a lineage of old-energy spiritual leaders. Although he indeed carries this old mantle, which includes an apparent chauvinistic
attitude of his age and culture, he is also a bridge to what is to come, which began to really show itself after the end of
communism. First, he is the only pope to come to an understanding of the fact that what he represents [his church] is changing
drastically. This brought him to a place where he not only apologized to the peoples of earth for the Spanish Inquisition,
but also asked for forgiveness for what took place regarding the Vatican and its position during the Holocaust. No pope has
ever done these things. It opens the door to the fact that the church is fallible, and that is a large step for any pope.
He's also aware that he's the last one of his kind, and he was holding on to that as long as he can.
*
The new pope
{Pope Benedict} will eventually represent a large change in the Catholic Church, and will create much upheaval within the
ranks. The church must come to grips with a real changing consciousness on the planet, and prune itself of old energy practices,
as well as an image that, increasingly, is not anything the new generation is interested in.
*
Honor this man {Pope
John} He has walked a tightrope of tradition versus new thinking. He's told you that there is no such thing as heaven or hell
{See Link Below}, yet he did it in a way that would not go against hundreds of years of church doctrine that says the opposite.
He asked forgiveness of Galileo's family 300 years after the fact, yet did it in a way that didn't make the other popes appear
to be wrong. This truly is a man who "knew" he was the last of the old popes, and he's tried to bring the church's energy
to a place where it would be more prepared for what was coming. He didn't tackle the hardest problems, which were on his doorstep.
He knows better. It will be taken care of by the next pope, a younger one whom history may call "the evil pope." Not "evil"
in the sense of being ungodly, but evil in the sense that he will go against the grain of tradition and history. He will make
waves, just like the prophet they worship did. Jesus the Jew was known by the Essenes as the "wicked priest." It was because
he went against all Jewish tradition, and empowered those around him.
*
The Catholic Church and organized religion’s
place in the coming years.
*
Belief systems all over our planet will tear apart with change. Oh, they will remain, but
there can be no more fence-sitting in regard to the old ways that no longer work. Those who talk about the love of God but
who do not practice it are on a fence, are they not? … The world is beginning to hold them accountable for what they
teach.
*
So what you are seeing is right on target. These systems are not on their way out, rather they are in the process
of rebuilding the trust of those who follow them. There will always be a need for organized religion. What is happening, however,
is that organized religion must (and will) change to meet a more spiritual and discerning Humanity.
*
Bless this organization
{The Catholic Church}, that it will prosper and continue to serve and help humanity the way it was set up to do. See it with
a new integrity. The new leader {Pope Benedict} will have an interesting job ... John
