Telam, Argentina’s state-owned news agency, traveled to the Vatican to interview Pope Francis on October 16, 2023. During the interview, they questioned the Pope about the Synod 2023. This is a global gathering that takes place in Rome from October 4–29, 2023, and brings together Catholic bishops, priests, ministry leaders, and well-known laypeople. It aims to explore “synodality” —the manner in which the church should carry out its global mission. It is intended to bring everyone into line with a new teaching focus.
Everyone should be concerned about this because something is happening in Rome that will have an impact on both Protestants and Catholics. This major Catholic conference has the ambition and objective to bring systemic changes to the world, and Pope Francisco’s is leading the way by promoting a theological moral progression that involves a reinterpretation of scripture. In other words, our fundamental comprehension of truth, as revealed in the written word of God, needs to be constantly evolving.
The following quotes from the Pope’s interview were published by Telam News Agency:
• Telam News: “The Synod 2023 is taking place, in a context in which you have defined this era not by its changes but, fundamentally, as a change of era. How does the Church adapt to this reality? What Church is needed for these times?” [1]
• Pope Francis: “Since the beginning of the Second Vatican Council, John XXIII had a very clear perception: the Church had to change. Paul VI coincided and continued, as did the Popes who succeeded them. It’s not just about changing fashion, it’s about a change of growth and in favor of people’s dignity. And there is the theological progression, of moral theology and all ecclesiastical sciences, including the interpretation of the scriptures, which have been progressing according to the feelings of the Church. Always in harmony. Breakups are not good. Either we progress through development or we end badly.” [1]
• Telam News: “How do you resolve the tension between changing and not losing part of your essence?” [1]
• Pope Francis: “The Church has to change, we think about how it has changed since the Council until now and how it has to continue changing in the modality, in the way of proposing a truth that does not change. That is, the revelation of Jesus Christ does not change, the dogma of the Church does not change, but it grows, develops and sublimates like the sap of a tree. He who is not on this path is one who takes a step back and withdraws into himself. Changes in the Church occur in this flow of identity of the Church. And she has to change as the challenges present themselves to her. Hence, the core of its change is essentially pastoral, without denying the essentials of the Church.” [1]
Lies. If the Revelation of Jesus Christ grows and develops, then truth is changing. This is your standard Jesuit double-talk. He is sowing seeds of confusion. Pope Francis is confirming one thing while simultaneously stating the exact opposite. The Pope is basically attempting to modify our moral teachings through “theological progression” while telling the bishops and other clergy members that “dogma does not change, but it grows.” This means that we must now understand the truth in the context of how Pope Francis is currently interpreting it.
Truth is not to be developed. Truth is to be obeyed. We don’t change the truth; the truth changes us. We are the ones who need to go through a “process of development” by experiencing repentance, conversion, and regeneration. God’s truth doesn’t need to go through any man-made refinement, filtering, or processing. And after the truth transforms us, we must proclaim and affirm the same truths that God has ordained so that others can also benefit from the transforming power of God’s word (John 17:17).
In response to a direct question concerning the Synod 2023 that is currently taking place in Rome, Pope Francis states that “the Church has to change.” This is in reference to the moral teachings of God’s word. He argues that we need to keep developing our interpretations of the Holy Scriptures. What is he talking about? God alone is the Author of truth, and no man can alter what He has decreed—neither openly, covertly, or, as in the case of Pope Francis, by way of a “theological progression.”
For example, just before the start of Synod 2023, the Vatican released a letter from Pope Francis “suggesting” that “blessings” for “same-sex unions may be possible.” [2] What does it mean to “suggest” that “maybe” we can bless something that God expressly condemns? It means that Pope Francis is sowing seeds of confusion by claiming that the church can now bless what God will never bless. The Pope went on to justify his view by claiming that “pastoral charity requires patience and understanding” and that “priests cannot become judges who only deny, reject, and exclude.” He went on to allege that people asking for “blessings” are actually “expressing a request from God” and “a plea to be able to live better,” so blessing “persons” in same-sex unions may be possible. [2]
The Jesuit Pope betrays the clear word of God while claiming to be affirming truth. He is arguing that we have to be open to different kinds of blessings. And even though the Pope states that we cannot bless gay marriages, we can still bless the “people” who are in same-sex relationships, rather than blessing their “marriages.” Pope Francis refers to this as theological progress. In reality, this is changing church doctrine while pretending to uphold it.
If the Christian world heads down this path, it will destroy what little biblical morality we still have left. This will only serve to weaken the churches and their adherence to the Bible because it essentially allows for the reinterpretation of immutable truths. In simple terms, Pope Francis is exalting “himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3–4). How is he doing this? Tragically, moral truth will no longer be determined by the Scriptures that Christ gave to us through the Holy Spirit; instead, the progressive lenses of the Pope and the bishops will be the first to filter what is morally true.
If biblical truths can be changed, then there is no objective truth, and everything, including God and His word, is open to reinterpretation. These ideas lead to pure relativism, subjectivism, sentimentalism, and utter nonsense. This is the new gospel for Rome’s new world order. This is Laudato Si’, Fratelli Tutti, the 2023 Agenda, the Great Reset, Laudate Deum, and the Synod 2023 in action.
The most remarkable thing about all of this is that, despite her calls for change, Rome never changes. Yes, she wants the world to change. She wants Protestantism to change. However, she is unchangeable because she is the same power of Bible prophecy that thought it could change God’s Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday (Daniel 7:25). This is the same power that persecuted the faithful who rejected her erroneous and blasphemous teachings. And this is the same power that is also bringing the world together in preparation for the impending Mark of the Beast crisis.
May God help us to be faithful to the two thousand-year-old teachings of the New Testament and the four thousand-year-old teachings of the Old Testament and reject the modern errors of Rome and apostate Protestantism.
“And this is the religion which Protestants are beginning to look upon with so much favor, and which will eventually be united with Protestantism. This union will not, however, be effected by a change in Catholicism; for Rome never changes. She claims infallibility. It is Protestantism that will change. The adoption of liberal ideas on its part will bring it where it can clasp the hand of Catholicism.” RH June 1, 1886

Thank you for this article. I’m not sure how the world can continue supporting Pope Francis and his ecumenical movement when he is obviously leading the world down the path to destruction. Our church leaders should distance themselves from the Vatican and all their affiliates and give a warning against this power. That is what we were called to do.
James says
This is what all the other churches are doing as well. Francis is just saying it out loud. Adventists are also making these same changes but more discretely.

North Street Christian church will not waver from the word of Got 🙏

Pope Francis states that “the (Catholic) Church has to change.”
This is the first true statement he has ever made. They have a whole lot of wine to discard. Unfortunately we know through prophecy that the Catholic church never truly changes unless it is to produce more and more wine (false doctrines) to get drunk on.
Roger Thomas Sayre says
In the modern world there’s is scarcely a word more horrific than ” change”.
He’s already said gay marriage can be blessed, which is a slap in the face to the faithful as well as directly against the content of the old and new testament. We’re supposed to believe the church is infallible in matters of faith and morals, he certainly has burst that bubble. Hopefully we get a better pope soon.

This is proof positive that this Pope was bought and groomed and brought to the Papacy illicitly. He is the WEFs choice and (just out of the blue) fell into the papacy in time to change the Church for Agenda 2030. Most don’t know that he sold his soul to the Rockefeller Foundation who funded his Reformation Theology movement, a communist movement in Argentina during Francis’ formative years. Francis had a personal relationship with David Rockefeller whose foundations funded every abhorrent schism of all religions in search of leverage that would eventually be used in divisive ways. The thrust of the RT movement was collective social action, not individual salvation.
Pope Benedict was forced out. He didn’t just resign, he left under duress. The WEF and Rockefeller’s called in the chits on Francis who knew he would be called on to make the Church conform to the WEF’s woke agenda and the new world order. The Catholic Church and the papacy have been successfully infiltrated by the elite and will take on a form true believers will not recognize or accept.
