Candlemas: Francis Celebrated with a Dragon

Francis celebrated the Chinese Festival of the Dragon, the Chinese New Year, on 2 February, while Catholics celebrated Candlemas, the feast of the purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

On this occasion, he received members of the Italy-China National Federation, including a giant red dragon, and thanked the attendees who, "in the tradition of the noble Chinese people, express the wish that the New Year will be fruitful and full of good".

Looking at an acrobatic dance, he wished everyone "to know how to always take risks on the path of dialogue, becoming acrobats of peace and brotherhood" - while his own pontificate has allowed the Church to sink into a quagmire of denial of dialogue, discord and conflict.

He does need some entertainment now and then, to get away from the very difficult theological and scriptural 'documents' he has had to issue with his buddy Tucho the obscene cardinal. He is soooo "merciful" - he welcomes any type of ...irreverence to the Catholic Church!

(Or maybe I am reading a little too much into this!)

Dear Lord help us. Candlemas, the feast of the purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also the Feast of Our Lady of Good Success (Quito, Ecuador, an ecclesiastically approved apparition) and they have a dragon prancing around the Vatican.

Francis ought to pray he doesn't meet the dragon one day. Venerable Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres of Quito, Ecuador, heard the voice of God the Father and saw three swords over the head of Christ which represented punishment for the twentieth century and beyond. Their names were: (1) “I will punish heresy”; (2) “I will punish blasphemy”; and (3) “I will punish impurity.”

Of course, celebrate the serpent rather than the Lady.
