Attaboy!!!
I am blessed by d pope's message.i wish i watch him live 2day bt tnk God 4 d message.
While the two of you have been plotting and loving one another, I have become King of the Popes. Mwaa-haa-haa-haa!
The pope is the AntiChrtist, and catholics follow him around like a lost puppydog. They are lost that is for sure, and on their way to hell unless they repent and turn to Christ Jesus.
Yes, I am definitely on my way to hell because I'm Catholic. It's obvious you are ignorant and do not know how to respect other religions.
Yes u are right and may be wrong bro but am proud to be his follower in christ so i just pray u will be forgiven and hope u find peace bro do no judge u are not God bro thanks
