PhuturePriest Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 The Apocalypse begins and Justin Bieber is declared greatest musician of all time.
chrysostom Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 The Apocalypse begins and Justin Bieber is declared greatest musician of all time. On whose authority will Justin Bieber be declared the greatest musician of all time? The Pope's? Will it be a Roma locuta est moment? But that can't happen, because the gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church.
Fidei Defensor Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 The Apocalypse begins and Justin Bieber is declared greatest musician of all time. Wait, he isn't already?

chrysostom Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Say a Pope started teaching something contrary to the Catholic Faith...Does he immediately become an antipope ? If you sample various flavors of sedevacantism, various things could happen: ( a ) He becomes a potential Pope along with his successors (aka sedeprivationism). I guess I'd be saying a prayer for the potential Holy Father each night. Viva almost-Pope Francis! ( b ) He stops being Pope even though no one in the entire Catholic Church notices it for about a decade (if you buy Fr. JoaquÃn Sáenz y Arriaga, who in 1971 was the first person, apparently, to catch on). ( c ) God could transfer the Supreme Pontiff's seat from the see of Rome to the "see" of El Palmar de Troya based on apparitions. ( d ) God could let David Bawden, his mom and dad, and three buddies elect him to the Papacy after a Pope-hiatus of 32 years. The Catholic Church would dwindle to about 30 people somewhere in Kansas. I wish I were writing a parody, but sadly all four of these are believed by various groups. Edited May 7, 2014 by chrysostom
Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Ok but that doest answer my question i don't think.......There have been antipopes before right ? So what happens ? Say 100 years from now a Pope started teaching Jesus Christ wasn't really God and all religions were equal ? What would happen? And here's a great Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber song...... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZzGK6RLsXU Edited May 7, 2014 by Guest
Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Mortify 2 believes a future Pope is going to become the false prophet and usher in the antichrist.....So at some point this Pope would have to become antipope......So the gates of hell wouldn't prevail against the Church but alot of Catholics who weren't paying attention would be deceived and would be found guilty of not worshiping in truth.....I will also add some respectable protestants think that this is the scenario that is going to play out also......
thessalonian Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Doesn't happen this way. Anti-popes have never been popes. They have been elected by various bodies without the authority to elect a pope. The legitimate Pope will NOT become an anti-pope. It just doesn't happen. Hasn't in 2000 years. No reason to believe it will now.
Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 So when and how does the Church declare an antipope? And do they take immediate action?
Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Gotcha so no Pope can become an antipope.... Edited May 7, 2014 by Guest
thessalonian Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 If a Pope who is infallible teaches that Jesus is not God then the gates of hell have prevailed and Jesus isn't God. In fact there is no God. But such things have not happened in 2000 years. We have been told the gates of hell shall not prevail. Thus far that has not happened and I think the track record is pretty firm on it not happening. Especially considering some of the weakness that has shown itself in 2000 years and the men that have been in the office who have been quite ungodly and have done some wicked things yet never come close to denying dogma of the Church. The bad ones in general have not paid enough attention to doctrine to do what you suggest.
Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) So Mortify 2 then is talking complete bs when he says a future Pope could error and become an antipope? Edited May 7, 2014 by Guest
Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 So why did past Popes warn of not following a Pope if he taught things contrary to the Catholic Faith ? If this can't happen why would they warn against it ?
Nihil Obstat Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Mortify 2 believes a future Pope is going to become the false prophet and usher in the antichrist.....So at some point this Pope would have to become antipope......So the gates of hell wouldn't prevail against the Church but alot of Catholics who weren't paying attention would be deceived and would be found guilty of not worshiping in truth.....I will also add some respectable protestants think that this is the scenario that is going to play out also...... It is not necessary that such an antipope was first a legitimate pope. But the existence of an influential antipope is well documented within accepted Catholic prophecy.
Vitamin Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Where's Mortify 2 so I can get some real answers....... He's busy working on Mortify 3. It'll be an epic game where you burn heretics at the stake using Forbidden Books as fuel.
