Like in a computer game. And now the Pope has supported our position.

The day before yesterday, Pope Francis announced to the crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square that this Christmas could be the last for humanity.

In his somber speech, the Pope predicted: the current chaotic state of the world marks the beginning of “ the end of times ", and next year the world will already be unrecognizable.

« As the world starves, burns, and descends into chaos, we must understand that this year's Christmas celebration may be the last “, the pontiff expressed himself very clearly, and he was quoted by yournewswire, vseneobichnoe.lj and others.

This is the Pope's first prophecy for next year. The second is about “already begun”. The Pontiff considers those who, and those who receive from the sale of weapons, to be “God”.

« Christmas is approaching. And there will be lights, celebrations, bright trees, nativity scenes - all this at a time when the world is at war, noted the head of the Vatican during his speech. – All this is meaningless vanity. The world has not understood how to live in harmony. The whole world is at war", he explains.

The Pope emphasized that sometimes there may be reasons for war, but there is no justification for what is happening in the world now.

In fact, the problems of “last Christmas”, “the end of the world” and “the third world war” are almost in no way connected with each other. These are three different problems. Let's look at them together.

The end of the world is not a religious problem at all. Only in our days have pastors seriously begun to believe that some kind of catastrophe is called the end of the world. And in earlier times, when the Church played the role of an academy, the servants of the temples were not engaged in the veneration of an unknown god, but in maintaining the calendar.

And in such conditions, a very specific episode of calendar calculations was called the end of the world. Let's just say it's a beautiful number. One end of the world was scheduled for 7000 years from the date of creation of the world. Then the date just passed – that’s all. There were other dates for the end of the world. Everything flowed like water through your fingers.

Today, the pastors of the church are separated from the real God - from the calendar. They all trudged along on crusades and hajjs after some other creature. Therefore, the laws of the calendar are now governed by ordinary science, and the church is engaged in “spiritual”... deception.

The end of the world is an event when one era ends and the next begins. Let me remind you that in 2002 the era of Pisces ended and the era of Aquarius began. That's it - the end of the world has already happened. It makes no sense to push new dates to a later date - nothing that the “prophets” predicted will happen.

Now let's talk about what could happen. But not about the end of the world. It's much more complicated here. And the Pope knows this problem, because it is being discussed at the very top of science and, naturally, the church - as an institution for governing society.

The problem is that physicists don't really know how the world works. They don't know how the Earth works. But they know that all space flights are just a lie and a waste of funds, which will soon be revealed.

The problem of searching for form, its structure, structure, and stars is being dealt with by many academic institutions. And they've been doing it for a long time. And so far all research has been almost fruitless.

The year before last, in the 19th century, humanity operated with the material capabilities of science. Today, in the 20th century, we operate with information images and what is VISIBLE is not always WHAT we are.

Here's an example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h00qyERid8&feature=youtu.be Just watch a minute-long story and you will realize that you can no longer trust your eyes.

Let me remind you that today science is traditionally built on visual control of experience. And also - on the scientific paradigm. The result is the following: the paradigm says, the Sun is a star, vision looks, the Sun is a star.

But the Sun is not a star. The appearance and physical essence of the Sun does not depend in any way on our ideas, which are still incorrect, or on our paradigm.

Life on Earth is an image, an informational image. We are just thoughts in some big computer. Just as we think with our neurons, we humans think with the being that consists of us.

But there are creatures that contain us, like an aquarium. Human aquarium with man-fishes. We, being in artificial conditions, cannot understand in any way who we are, where we come from, or why we are here.

Almost insane scientists are seriously trying to substantiate the theory of evolution and have already ruined the name of Darwin so much that it can no longer be washed away. And this despite the fact that Darwin, as a deeply religious person, never wrote about scientific evolution. He attributed the function to the Creator, whose name was replaced by the word “Nature” for political correctness.

Other, frankly mad scientists, take man out of East Africa and force him to migrate throughout the planet. And this too is the result of religious faith. Let's look at the map of Pomponius Mela, dated 45. On it, the geographer showed the Earth and Alter Earth.

And between it Pomponius placed a passage. This is the same passage that “accidentally” fell on the place in Africa in which modern man supposedly formed. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, scientists knew this theory as religious. And today they are trying to drive it into our heads as an academic one.

So, these are the unknowns we have on the simple, biological scientific front. And in physics it’s even more complicated...

But the nature of the last Christmas, which the Pope knows and speaks about, lies not in physics, but in the aquarist. There is information that the owner of our Earthly aquarium is planning to change both the living conditions and the inhabitants in it.

This event is planned for February 2016. The Pope spoke about him.

It was because of this that the migrations of southern peoples began. It is known that animals, for example, sense the approach of a tsunami and move further from the coast ahead of time. Today's migrations are an escape from impending disaster, and not at all from war.

The “operation in Syria” itself and all the provocations with planes and terrorist attacks are just a cover operation. The world authorities are covering up the flight of people so as not to create panic. So that the audience accepts the official version - they say they are running away from the war.

Therefore, the Pope is wrong - there is no war.

Most countries don’t even have anything to fight with - the level of civilization is not enough. Today, the life of a soldier on the battlefield has been reduced to a few seconds. War has long been waged by means that completely destroy the enemy. And this is not at all something that no one except Russia has.

There are no presidents. There are rules to the presidential game. This one is “bad”, this one is “good”. Not this way. Everyone is the same, and everyone does their job properly.

Are there ways to influence the situation and change the program of destruction of the Earth? Eat. But they require their own faith. It's impossible without her. This is not a religious faith, but humanity’s faith in itself: that humanity is worthy of living.

And these are not pompous words: what pompousness is there when the Pope himself tells you. I have a lot of respect for him, because he bears a difficult share of managing society. Yes, he is a shepherd. But yes: we are a herd. Smart, peculiar, motley - but a herd...

What does a person do when he sees an enemy approaching him? He screams at him not to touch him. If you're lucky, the enemy won't touch you.

This is exactly the case now. If we shout to the owner of our aquarium, he may not make a terrarium in our place with famous lizards - dinosaurs.

And now - specifics. Any structure, any organism has intelligence. A huge organism has enormous intelligence. Complex - complex.

The Pope's speech to the European Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Strasbourg this week should have left normally complacent MEPs deeply disheartened. We must pay tribute to Francis I: he told them what no one else in Europe would dare to say, namely, that Europe today is a dying civilization, and its so-called new values ​​are leading it to nowhere.

Not everyone was waiting for Pope Francis in Strasbourg. “Dad is not a politician. He has no place in parliament.", protests the activist "Femen". She climbed onto the altar of Notre Dame Cathedral and stood there half naked, waving the EU flag.

However, this did not stop the Pope.

A haggard and tired old Europe, no longer fertile and full of life, having lost its roots and great ideals, moving away from the principles of peace and cooperation - this is how the Pope described modern Europe, which became a cold shower for members of the European Parliament.

“The time has come to work together to build a Europe that does not revolve around economics, but around the sanctity of the human person and its inherent value. It's time to abandon Europe, which is full of fear and closed in on itself."(Pope Francis).

They expected a lot from the Vatican sovereign: approval and praise for building a new continent, for spreading democracy and European values, and finally, for developing tolerance.

Austrian MEP Ulrika Lunacek

“I know many lesbian and gay believers who hoped that he would open the Church to everyone. It would be great for the LGBT community to hear about this from him today,” complained the “green” from Austria Ulrika Lunacek.

“The great ideals that inspired Europe seem to have lost their appeal. Citizens’ distrust of EU institutions is growing... the laws it adopts are simply useless, if not harmful, for some nations.” (Pope Francis).

“This is a modern dad. Dad of the 21st century. He called the EU tired, exhausted and sterile.", – summed up the British Eurosceptic Nigel Farage.

Nigel Farage

And he is not the only one who believes that the Pope is right.

“Processes of destruction of values, processes of destruction of family, processes of destruction of faith have appeared. Therefore, I think that the Pope’s speech was not only fair, but also very gentle. The French, for example, say that he could have made harsher criticism."(Alexander Latsa

France, as you know, is not enthusiastic about the dictates of the so-called EU values. The French, despite mass protests, were unable to fight off the legalization of same-sex marriage.

And now Paris risks suffering huge losses from delays in the delivery of Mistrals to Russia.

“In the Mistral case, too. As for the manufactured ships that the people of France want to sell to you... We were told that no, we cannot sell, we cannot sell. The European Union is a hyperstructure that is now under the complete control of the United States, i.e. The European Union is pursuing a policy that is contrary to the interests of France and Germany." (Alexander Latsa, French writer, analyst).

However, Germany does not seem to understand this. The main thing is that sanctions harm Russia, and it doesn’t matter that they harm Germany too. Politics is now more important than economics. A quarter of a century ago, when Polish Pope John PaulII spoke to deputies, he called Europe “a beacon of civilization.” Now the new Pope is convinced: this “beacon of civilization” does not shine.

“The whole of Europe is sitting on long-term US loans. It's clear. They are financially dependent on the United States of America. What kind of supremacy, what puffing up of cheeks, what threats to such a power with such history, with such power, with such independence at the moment as Russia, they can still talk about. Sorry, this is a good face for a bad game. This is a picture, this is a facade, this is profanation.” (Artemy Ulyanov, writer).

However, in Brussels they are already accustomed to such profanity. We are used to seeing what is allowed. We got used to the position of a blinkered horse, and even then he was blind in one eye.

This selective blindness was especially evident in the interpretation of events in Ukraine.

“The Chancellor of Germany, and the Minister of France, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the European Union know very well who is killing whom in Novorossiya, they know very well that in the winter of 2013-2014. terrorists financed by the Americans and several Ukrainian oligarchs beat and even killed unarmed police officers, and not vice versa. All this is clear to them." (Anatoly Wasserman, political consultant).

But under the watchful eye of Washington, they say something completely different. The Pope practically confirms this European impotence:

“This enlarged and more powerful European Union is increasingly associated with the image of an older and shrunk Europe that feels less and less like a major player on the world stage.”

Representatives of our Orthodox Church do not arouse sympathy for such a Europe.

Pope Francis

“The modern West is a psychological pensioner who wants to be allowed to die in peace. Let's give him this opportunity... Europe today is not the European Union, it is us. The modern European Union has betrayed Europe as a phenomenon that was shaped by Christianity. This Europe no longer exists. It’s a pity for the Catholic Church, which missed the opportunity to build the life of Western Europe according to Christian values.” (Vsevolod Chaplin, archpriest).

“When in Germany I talked with guys in a bar, with football fans, when they found out that I was from Russia, they said: yes, but we would like a president like Putin. Can you imagine? And my friend just returned from the USA, he says, he lived at the house of an American policeman. He walks around in a T-shirt with Putny, saying, “I want such a president, I’m ashamed of Obama”(Artemy Ulyanov, writer).

“Dad was invited... to make a diagnosis and write a prescription.” (Kazimierz Sowaksedzh, director of the Catholic TV channel)

And the pontiff really spoke about what needs to be corrected, and urgently. Chairman of the European Parliament Martin Schultz thanked the Pope for his advice and admitted that the European Union had lost its way.

“You are the person who shows us the way when we get lost.”, - he said.

However, Mr. Schultz did not specify whether the European Union will decide to follow the path proposed to it by the Pope.

Pope Francis (Francesco), known in the world as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was born on December 17, 1936 in Buenos Aires. He comes from a family of Italian emigrants, his father worked on the railroad. The first head of the Catholic world from the New World, as well as the first Jesuit pope.

Ordination and teaching activities

Bergoglio entered the Villa Devoto Seminary in Buenos Aires at the age of 22. In 1958 he joined the ranks of the Jesuit Order. The novitiate with the study of the humanities took place in Chile. Then, returning to Argentina, he entered St. Joseph's College. After graduating with honors, he taught humanities at colleges in Buenos Aires.

In addition to his native Spanish, he is fluent in Italian and German. The new Pope also has a secular education as a chemical technologist.

The ordination took place on December 13, 1969. As befits a true priest, Bergoglio was unpretentious and persistent, and also had good knowledge, which he continuously improved. Thanks to these qualities, soon took over the post of rector of St. Joseph's College, which he once brilliantly graduated from. Then, having received his doctorate in Germany, he became director of the Archdiocese of Cordoba.

Highest positions in the church hierarchy

Bergoglio became primate of Argentina at the age of 61. In fact, he performed these duties for several years before entering the rank, being an assistant to Cardinal Antonio Quarracino. Here his talent as a leader and the qualities inherent in a true father of the Church were fully revealed and appreciated.

In 2001, Pope John Paul II (Giovanni Paulo II) elevated Archbishop Bergoglio to the rank of cardinal. In this rank he held various posts in the Roman Curia.

The biography of the most modest of priests was not cloudless. In 2005, a scandal broke out. A criminal case was opened against Cardinal Bergoglio. Human rights activist Myriam Bregman accused him of allegedly turning over two Jesuit priests to the junta in 1976. The version about the priest’s connection with the junta has not been confirmed, Judge Herman Castelli called the indictment a “total lie.”

In April of the same 2005, after the death of John Paul II, the cardinal took part in the Conclave as pope-elector. But in the second round, the majority of votes was given to Joseph Ratzinger, who took the name Benedetto XVI.

After Benedict's abdication of the papacy on February 28, 2013, the Argentine again participated in the Conclave, this time successfully. Catholics around the world enthusiastically received the news that a modest cardinal from Latin America was now their shepherd.

Speeches

The new Pope is known not only as a talented leader, but also as a brilliant speaker. The speeches of Francis I testify to his versatile mind and deep education. The range of problems that concern dad is wide and varied: a possible third world war, troubled Ukraine, interethnic relations, problems of sexual minorities and illegitimate children.

• In a speech dedicated to the centenary of the beginning of the First World War, Francis I, calling on his flock for peace and unity, said that the third world war, whether we like it or not, has already begun.
  

  Evidence of this is the ongoing armed conflicts shaking the world, the most striking examples of which are Syria and Ukraine. He said that his grandfather was a participant in the First World War, after which he emigrated to Argentina.

• One of the most heartfelt speeches of the pontiff - speech delivered in the European Parliament. Raising his voice on behalf of the Church, the pope spoke about the inadmissibility of arms trafficking and human trafficking, emphasizing that democracy without the pursuit of truth slides into the swamp of universal selfishness.
  

  Francis compared Europe to a poplar tree that will wither without roots. “Where is your strength, Europe?” – asked the head of the Catholic world. Strength, according to the pope, lies in a reasonable and respectful attitude towards historical heritage.

• Speech about the Armenian genocide on April 12, 2015 caused the indignation of the President of the Republic of Turkey Recep Erdoğan (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan) by the mere use of the word “genocide”.
  

  The ambassador was summoned to the Turkish Foreign Ministry in Ankara to give an explanation, but the pontiff insisted that the events of 1915 marked the beginning of massacres on ethnic grounds that overshadowed the 20th century. According to the pope, hidden evil can be likened to “a bleeding wound that has not been bandaged.”

Liturgies

The Roman Mass is an important part of the life of any person who professes Catholicism, and for everyone else it can be an interesting spectacle. The official Vatican website provides a schedule of liturgies held in. The pope himself holds mass only on holidays; there are many visitors; it is recommended to arrive two hours before the start.

On Sunday morning (at 11 o'clock) Pope Francis reads the Angelus sermon to those gathered in St. Peter's Square from the window of his chambers. Sunday contains a special grace for Christians; everyone can see their shepherd and plunge into the atmosphere of unity with fellow believers.

Irish prophecy

The prophecy of the holy Archbishop of Ireland Malachy says that the last Pope, called Peter the Roman (Petrus Romanus), will rule “among many torments,” after which the Eternal City will face complete destruction.

It would seem that all of the above has nothing to do with the current pontiff. But interpreters of sacred texts drew an analogy, breaking down the pope’s surname into two words – Berg and Oglio. Petrus (Latin) and Berg (German) are translated as “stone”, Oglio (Ollia) is a river in Italy, one of the tributaries of the Po. And dad himself is an ethnic Italian! His secular surname can be interpreted as "stronghold in the stream". Such reasoning looks (and in fact is) controversial, but due to the many coincidences of Malachi’s mottos with facts about previous popes, those who wish find reason to claim that ancient prophecy about Peter the Roman fulfilled by an Argentine cardinal.

• Known for personal modesty. I gave up luxury apartments, a dad car, and a personal chef. Like his namesake Francis of Assisi, he is devoted to the ideals of evangelical poverty.
• In young age worked as a bouncer in the night club.
• Is a football fan, a fan of the San Lorenzo club from Buenos Aires.
• On the first Maundy Thursday after enthronement washed the feet of 12 juvenile prisoners, among whom were two girls (a Catholic and a Muslim). With his gesture, the new Pope set an example of mercy for teenagers at the very bottom of their lives.
• The English magazine Time recognized him as "".
• Dad's email, addressed to Gustavo Vera, chairman of the Latin American Society against Drug Abuse, caused a diplomatic row. The reason for this was the desire expressed by the pontiff to prevent the “Mexicanization” of Argentina. The topic of such an unfortunate e-mail was the rampant drug mafia in Latin American countries. The indignation of the Mexican side knew no bounds, but the Vatican press service stated that a personal letter should not become a reason for such a quarrel and His Holiness did not want to offend anyone, he only emphasized the danger of increasing drug trafficking.
