On December 8, 2022, Pope Francis broke down and cried during a public prayer for the war in Ukraine. The Pope was overcome with emotion and was unable to speak for about 30 seconds. The crowds suddenly applauded as the Pope cried and struggled to gather himself to continue speaking. Naturally, the extensive media coverage that Pope Francis receives wherever he goes made sure that this event was broadcast around the globe. In the video below, you can watch the Pope weeping in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary.

“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5, 6.
There are at least 27 conflicts in the world right now, and Pope Francis is being very selective about which one he is going to weep over. [1] Despite this, not one tear has been shed by this pontificate for the oppressed in China, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, or for the Catholics that are continually being massacred in Africa. It seems that the Vatican picks and chooses which conflicts to cry over and which ones to ignore.
Pope Francis should save his tears for all the children who have been sexually assaulted, abused, or murdered by the Roman Catholic clergy, because the Pope has never shown this kind of emotion for the sexual abuse committed by his church. Ironically, the only people who have been crying for years and still do today are the victims who were abused by the cardinals, bishops, and priests.
We are told that much of what Rome does is for show. Therefore, Pope Francis’ moving performance and his crocodile tears may have just been a grand performance:
“Popery is just what prophecy declared that she would be, the apostasy of the latter times. It is a part of her policy to assume the character which will best accomplish her purpose; but beneath the variable appearance of the chameleon, she conceals the invariable venom of the serpent” (Great Controversy, p. 571).
Deceit comes in all forms, even white robes. The Pope is a good actor. This was certainly an Academy Award performance. Maybe he will get an Oscar or two. The truth is that our world does not need people to cry; it needs action. Instead of crying for Ukraine, condemn the people who started this conflict and send help to the real victims of the war. Instead of weeping, Pope Francis, the US, and others should have sent the billions of dollars to those who truly needed the help, rather than lining the pockets of warmongers.
And most importantly, quit praying to the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary. That’s who Pope Francis was praying to when he started crying. Obviously, the Virgin Mary can’t answer his prayers for world peace because the dead cannot help us (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6). Back on March 25, 2022, during the Feast of the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, Pope Francis called upon the entire world to join him in fulfilling the Fatima prophecy by consecrating Russia and Ukraine to the Virgin Mary. The prophecy said that if Russia were consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the nation would be converted and a period of peace would come to the world. [2]
Russia was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the state of the world has only gotten worse, not better. Through spiritualism, our world is preparing for the kingdom of Antichrist. World leaders think they will obtain peace, but no true lasting peace will come as long as we are working in partnership with evil spirits. Satan is seeking to take control of our world, and it is regrettable that this generation will listen to anything other than God and His word.
“Satan has long been preparing for his final effort to deceive the world … Little by little he has prepared the way for his masterpiece of deception in the development of spiritualism. He has not yet reached the full accomplishment of his designs; but it will be reached in the last remnant of time. Says the prophet: ‘I saw three unclean spirits like frogs … They are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.’ Revelation 16:13, 14. Except those who are kept by the power of God, through faith in His word, the whole world will be swept into the ranks of this delusion” (Maranatha, 166).

Nice article Andy.
Unless there is genuine repentance, real tears will flow very soon.
Tears of joy…. & tears of deceit..
No tears actually came out. These were clearly crocodile tears.
Rome never changes that is part of her policy for a thousand years throught her existence; just as the messenger of the lord prophesied in the book ” Great controversy” that she will assume a harmless character but inside she conceals the venom of serpent. The office of inquisition was established to punish all heretics and all those who disagree with her false doctrines . We must bear in mind that THE UNITED NATIONS which was established after the WW2.; the purpose of this institution is to create a new world order and establish papal power and inquisition and most of these conflicts are engineered by the papacy and her footsoldiers the jesuits the conflicts ranging from WW1;WW2; VIETNAM; BOSNIA HEZEGROVINA; RWANDAN GENOCIDE; BALKANS;KOSOVO; UKRAINE are instigated to cause the world to accept the papal rome agenda and finally to establish her own dominion.All united nations officials are trained in jesuit universities and they are working towards the establishment of papal new world order and gathering the whole universe to rebel against THE MOST HIGH”.
“The Romish Church now presents a fair front to the world, covering with apologies her record of horrible cruelties. She has clothed herself in Christ-like garments; but she is unchanged. Every principle of popery that existed in past ages exists today. The doctrines devised in the darkest ages are still held. Let none deceive themselves. The popery that Protestants are now so ready to honor is the same that ruled the world in the days of the Reformation, when men of God stood up, at the peril of their lives, to expose her iniquity. She possesses the same pride and arrogant assumption that lorded it over kings and princes, and claimed the prerogatives of God. Her spirit is no less cruel and despotic now than when she crushed out human liberty, and slew the saints of the Most High.” – {GC88 570.3}
The Pope now supports gay marriage, which is not Biblical and does not glorify God. We are the ones that should be crying because God’s will is not being done here.
Amen? (Has anyone heard of hypocritical tears? The Pope just demonstrated them, didn’t he?)
