Pope Francis allegedly performs a ‘half miracle’

Some believe that Pope Francis performed a what is being called a half- miracle:

March 23, 2015

Some say Pope Francis might be responsible for a “half-miracle.”During a mass in Naples on Saturday, he was given a vial of dried blood belonging to St. Gennaro, the city’s patron saint.

The archbishop of Naples says when Francis kissed the glass, the blood half-liquified and the cardinal declared it a miracle.

According to the Catholic Herald, Saturday was the first time the blood has liquified in the papal presence since 1848, when it did so in front of Pope Pius IX. http://www.aol.com/article/2015/03/23/pope-francis-credited-for-half-miracle/21156386/

The blood relic of St. Gennaro, patron saint of Naples, today miraculously liquefied in the presence of Pope Francis, the first time the miracle has occured in the presence of a pontiff since 1848.

“His blood has half-liquefied,” the Archbishop of Naples, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, said at the conclusion of Pope Francis’ address to diocesan priests and religious in the city’s cathedral. “It’s a sign that St. Gennaro loves the Pope, who is Neapolitan like us.”

Pope Francis immediately and lightheartedly replied: “The archbishop said the blood is half-liquefied. It means the saint loves us halfway. We all have to convert a little more so that he loves us more.”

Today’s wondrous occurance knows just one precedent. It is the first time St. Gennaro’s blood relic has liquefied in the presence of a pontiff since the miracle occurred in the presence of Pope Pius IX in 1848.

Pius IX was the longest-reigning elected pope in the history of the Catholic Church (31 years). He convened the First Vatican Council, which decreed papal infallibility; defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, meaning that Mary was conceived without original sin; and he was the last Pope to rule as the sovereign of the papal states which fell to the Italian army in 1870. http://www.aleteia.org/en/religion/article/st-gennaros-blood-relic-miraculously-liquifies-in-the-presence-of-pope-francis-in-naples-5869691155251200

When the Archbishop of Naples picked up the vial containing the 1700-year-old dried blood of the city’s patron Saint Januarius to present it to Pope Francis Saturday, someone in the Naples cathedral shouted: “Miracle.” According to witnesses, the blood of the saint had become liquid again—at least in part.

The archbishop, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe said, “That’s a sign that Saint Januarius loves Naples and Pope Francis: his blood is half liquefied.”

Francis kissed the relic and played down the “miracle” saying: “If it’s only half liquefied it means that the saint only half loves us. We all need to convert more, so that the saint will be fully pleased.” Minutes later, however, the blood had reportedly reverted to a fully liquid state. http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/03/22/miracle-proclaimed-as-saints-blood-liquefies-in-the-presence-of-pope-francis/

Francis hinted that this was a type of supernatural occurrence with Catholic ramifications. To me, this would be a false sign otherwise called a lying wonder, presuming a demonic manifestation happened (if this was not a trick nor lie, then that is what it would have been–unless there was a truly natural explanation).

Shortly after he became pontiff, there was a report that Pope Francis performed some type of exorcism (see Pope Francis calls for new economic order and is alleged to have performed a public exorcism: Could these be signs of the final Antichrist?). Later in 2013, he claimed to have received a message from a dead Catholic (see Francis claims a dead Catholic sent him a ‘sign’).

There was also a report a while back about some possible healing-related miracle to Pope Francis.

Is Pope Francis involved in some type of signs and lying wonders?

Well, the half-blood ‘miracle’ would seem to qualify as such–such ‘miracles’ are part of Satan’s Plan. Could Pope Francis be the last pope and THE Antichrist?

Although his age and preference to not remain pontiff for more than a couple more years are against that (see also Francis not planning on being around too much longer), there still remains a chance he could be. Furthermore, even if he is not, he has helped set the stage for the final Antichrist with his Marianism, ecumenical agenda, and some of his economic positions.

The Bible warns that the false prophet, the beast of the earth and THE Antichrist (although there have been antichrists since the time of the Apostle John), will perform signs and be involved with a different type of financial order:

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Revelation 13:11-17)

Pope Francis has NOT done enough to clearly be this individual.

Yet, all the events I have discussed in today’s post point to that as a possibility (and are consistent with the many of the details I wrote about in my book The Last Pope: Do Biblical and Catholic Prophecies Point to Pope Francis?).

Related to Marianism, he consecrated his pontificate to ‘Mary’ shortly after becoming pope and even further had his pontificate consecrated to the Lady of Fatima a couple of months later (Pope Francis’ pontificate consecrated to ‘Lady of Fatima’).

Since 2013, I have posted that if he is not the final Antichrist, he certainly is setting the stage for the one who will be.

The Malachy Prophecies and “Peter the Roman” An Irish bishop allegedly predicted something about 112 popes in the 12th century. Pope Benedict XVI was number 111.
