Again: Francis Refuses to Bless

After the January 1 Angelus, Pope Francis did not bless the people. Instead he raised both of his hands without any sign of the cross (video below).

Francis said with open arms the first part of the Old Testament blessing “May the Lord bless you and keep you…”.

He read the text from a sheet but stopped before the Trinitarian formula at the end that goes in Latin "Et benedictio Dei onnipotentis, Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" et cetera.

According to the Vaticanista Aldo Maria Valli, Francis chose to “bless without blessing” and that it was an “extemporaneous decision”.

A pope is not above the Catholic liturgy.

Peter did not start the Catholic church as everyone believes, start digging into history, we have been lied to, all this controversy about priests who misuse the young boys is only a tip of what happened in the corrupt church, if you look back mhundreds of years ago the priests were having sex with the nuns, and the nuns gave birth, but the church didn't want this out to the public, so it had all the babies killed and lye was put on the bodies to get arid of all the evidence. Battles were fought over the name of Jesus, they used to kill in the name of Jesus.
Is this a church the Catholic church that you want to be a part of.
The only way to be with Jesus is to be a follower of the holy spirit, not the bible. If you are a holy spirit person you know Jesus and that's all you need, the holy spirit didn't say you need to go to church , when you are talking to the holy spirit you are with Jesus what more did you need, you don't need to pay money which helps finance all the cover up of all the wrong doings of the church.

The bible will give some history much of it is distorted because it was basically written by constitine a non Christian.

Yes i was born into the Catholic faith and was a faithful follower for most my life, but i started researching and behold there is so much bad about the church it makes me sick.
There are a few good priests out there who truly believe that they are spreading the word of God, but they are part of the Catholic church which as a whole is corrupt.

don't ya just love the woman in the center of the video who enthusiastically applauds... probably a Catholic 'sheeple' who just LUVs the Pope (insert smiley face etc etc etc ) and hasn't got a clue as to what is going on and doesn't want to disturb her happy, happy thoughts by finding out).

Francis doesn't bless with the sign of the cross for a reason. I think you can figure it out.

He says fairly clearly that he doesn't believe except in Jesus as an historical proto Che Guevara.

God is still in control of the Pope, we don’t know why but God is alowing this. Pray for Pope Francis...

WHY!? I don't understand in any way - sane, insane, inspired, misguided... It is only anti-Catholic.

Suits me fine, wouldn't feel comfortable with a blessing from him!
Der Spiegel ... quotes an unnamed Vatican Cardinal as describing PF thus: an ice-cold, sly machiavellian and a liar.
