Sixteen of those cardinals are under age 80 and eligible to vote in a conclave to elect Francis\u2019 successor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-198 Component-p-0-2-189\">Once they are added to the ranks of princes of the church, Francis will have stacked the College of Cardinals with 83 of the 132 voting-age cardinals. While there is no guarantee how the cardinals might vote, the chances that they will tap a successor who shares Francis\u2019 pastoral priorities become ever greater.<\/p>\n<p>In announcing the Aug. 27 consistory, Francis also announced he would host two days of talks the following week to brief the cardinals about his recent apostolic constitution reforming the Vatican bureaucracy. That document, which goes into effect Sunday, allows women to head Vatican offices, imposes term limits on priestly Vatican employees and positions the Holy See as an institution at the service of local churches, rather than vice versa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One thing to add about that last line, is that by making that shift, Francis has made it more feasible for the Eastern Orthodox to be willing to have more unity with the Vatican&#8211;and that remains one of Francis&#8217; top priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Various ones have called for his resignation (see <a title=\"\u2018Former Vatican official calls for Pope\u2019s resignation amid sex abuse scandal\u2019\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/religious-news\/former-vatican-official-calls-for-popes-resignation-amid-sex-abuse-scandal\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">\u2018Former Vatican official calls for Pope\u2019s resignation amid sex abuse scandal\u2019<\/a>, <a title=\"Permanent Link to Francis says no comment on resignation letter; \u2018By secular standards, the Catholic Church is a corrupt organization\u2019\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/church-history\/francis-says-no-comment-on-resignation-letter-by-secular-standards-the-catholic-church-is-a-corrupt-organization\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Francis says no comment on resignation letter; \u2018By secular standards, the Catholic Church is a corrupt organization<\/a> and <a title=\"German priest pedophilia, Pope Francis calls for conference, \u2018Civil war,\u2019 and Francis pushes for salvation with Mary\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/religious-news\/german-priest-pedophilia-pope-francis-calls-for-conference-and-francis-pushes-for-salvation-in-mary\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">German priest pedophilia, Pope Francis calls for conference, \u2018Civil war,\u2019 and Francis pushes for salvation with Mary<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Some even thought he would resign in 2019 (see <a title=\"Pope Francis to resign in February 2019?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/religious-news\/pope-francis-to-resign-in-february-2019\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Pope Francis to resign in February 2019?<\/a>) as well as in 2020 (see <a title=\"Permanent Link to \u201cEnd of the world: Why Pope\u2019s 2020 resignation \u2018will fulfil 900-year-old doomsday prophecy\u2019\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/religious-news\/end-of-the-world-why-popes-2020-resignation-will-fulfil-900-year-old-doomsday-prophecy\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">\u201cEnd of the world: Why Pope\u2019s 2020 resignation \u2018will fulfil 900-year-old doomsday prophecy\u2019\u201d<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Pope Francis has been around longer than he felt he would as his statements from seven years ago attest:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>March 13, 2015<\/p>\n<p>Hearing confessions to mark his second anniversary as head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis offered a confession of his own Friday: He doubts he\u2019ll be pontiff for long.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have the feeling that my pontificate will be brief, 4 or 5 years; I do not know, even 2 or 3,\u201d the 78-year-old Francis said during an interview with Mexican broadcaster Televisa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo have already passed.

And I believe that several steps he has taken will make it easier for the final Antichrist to arise. His encyclicals, Laudato S\u00ec and Amoris Laetitia, document that he wants change, as well as his intentions to push an interfaith and ecumenical agenda with groups like the United Nations. He also received the Charlemagne Prize for promoting European unity (see <a title=\"Permanent Link to Pope Francis given \u2018Charlemagne Prize;\u2019 EU leaders worried about EU\u2019s future\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/pope-francis-given-charlemagne-prize-eu-leaders-worried-about-eu-future\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Pope Francis given \u2018Charlemagne Prize;\u2019 EU leaders worried about EU\u2019s future<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the years, various ones have wondered if Pope Francis is actually Roman Catholic based up some of his writings and statements.<\/p>\n<p>Here is something from 2017:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>November 16, 2017<\/p>\n<p>Father Thomas Weinandy, a member of the Vatican\u2019s International Theological Commission, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncregister.com\/blog\/edward-pentin\/full-text-of-father-weinandys-letter-to-pope-francis\">accused Francis of presiding over \u201ca chronic confusion\u201d in a letter.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The former chief of staff for the U.S. Bishops\u2019 Committee on Doctrine said the pope had demeaned the importance of doctrine and undermined church unity. Weinandy was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicworldreport.com\/2017\/11\/01\/fr-thomas-g-weinandy-explains-his-critical-letter-to-pope-francis\/\">asked to resign from his position not long after sending the letter.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The pope\u2019s reign has long been marked by attacks on conservatives both within the church and the larger Christian community. Many Christian leaders are becoming fed up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis man has turned the papacy into a social justice organization that seems far more concerned with global warming and poverty than the proclamation of the gospel,\u201d said Jan Markell of Olive Tree Ministries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCatholics should be very concerned. Pope Francis is a type of the false prophet who will reign with the antichrist. I am not saying he is the false prophet, but he has characteristics that would suggest a man just like him could step into that role. If I were a Catholic, I would be looking either for another pope or another faith such as Protestantism. Heaven and hell represent eternal issues that are sacred and no human being should be trying to alter them.\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Carl Gallups \u2026 agrees with Catholic dissidents that the pope has thrown the Catholic Church into confusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThus far, Pope Francis appears to have thrown the Catholic Church into further confusion since his reign. We are undoubtedly living in profoundly prophetic times. How people can miss this truth, right before our eyes every day, is beyond comprehension.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2017\/11\/christians-asking-is-the-pope-still-catholic\/\">http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2017\/11\/christians-asking-is-the-pope-still-catholic\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pope Francis IS helping set up the end time for the rise of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/antichrist.htm\">final Antichrist<\/a>\u2013and that seems to be consistent with both biblical and even certain Roman Catholic prophecies.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Pope Francis\u2019 apparent diminishing of places of punishment like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/purgatory.htm\">purgatory<\/a> will help endear him to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/orthodox.htm\">Eastern Orthodox<\/a>, as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/salvation.htm\">Protestants<\/a>, as they do not accept purgatory. Perhaps it should be mentioned that the prior pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI, indicated that the place called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/limbo.htm\">limbo<\/a> also may not exist. As far as universal salvation goes, although the Bible does not teach that, many would be surprised to realize that the Bible does teach that all will be OFFERED salvation through Jesus, and that this was the view of early Christians. For details, check out the article, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/apocatastasis.htm\">Universal <strong>Offer<\/strong> <strong>of Salvation<\/strong>: There Are Hundreds of Verses in the Bible Supporting the Doctrine of True Apocatastasis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible warns about a leader that looks like a lamb to people, has the words of a dragon, but whose energetic-power is demonic:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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. (Revelation 13:11)<\/p>\n<p>13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. (Revelation 16:13-14)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Notice that the above leader pushes a political agenda that many think looks good, but biblically is not. Pope Francis is working on an ecumenical and interfaith \u2018Babylonian\u2019 unity that the Bible repeatedly warns against (Revelation 17,18). To much of the world, Pope Francis looks like a lamb. His agenda aligns with those of the United Nations and many world leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Francis, himself, appears to be too old to fill the role of the final Antichrist, the &#8216;Peter the Roman&#8217; of the Roman Catholic Bishop Malachy&#8217;s list (see also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/malachy.htm\">The Malachy Prophecies and \u201cPeter the Roman\u201d<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>So, some believe that Francis may not be the legitimate successor of Benedict. Now, if Francis is not counted in the Malachy list, the one who comes after him may very well be the antipope of certain Roman Catholic prophecies.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/philadelphia-remnant-beliefs.htm\"><em>Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> put out the following video on our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/BibleNewsProphecy\">Bible New Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel:<\/p>\n<div>\n<div data-context-item-id=\"KxDSKfw2zrk\" data-visibility-tracking=\"CJIBENwwIhMIx-Pa1PDfwAIVzYN-Ch1kMgDpQLmd2-GfxbSIKw==\">\n<div>\n<div data-context-item-id=\"bjcEpt_2Qws\" data-visibility-tracking=\"CJIBENwwIhMI_-Gq9q76wAIV4y1-Ch0pTQA5QIuG2f_tlMGbbg==\">\n<div>\n<div data-context-item-id=\"4vkBuZzUeFU\" data-visibility-tracking=\"CJUBENwwIhMI1c3cu_jXwQIV5xV-Ch3cEQCUQNXw0eaZt8D84gE=\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div data-context-item-id=\"PryIYDs_FeA\">\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PryIYDs_FeA\" data-sessionlink=\"ved=CDsQwBs&amp;ei=E7xoVIq2BZH2qgXZyIAg&amp;feature=c4-feed-u\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/PryIYDs_FeA\/mqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n16:34<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3><a dir=\"ltr\" title=\"Anti-Pope Francis?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PryIYDs_FeA\" data-sessionlink=\"ved=CDoQvxs&amp;ei=E7xoVIq2BZH2qgXZyIAg&amp;feature=c4-feed-u\">Anti-Pope Francis?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>Some cardinals and other members of the Roman Catholic clergy are concerned that Pope Francis has deviated from its traditional positions on matters such as homosexuality, salvation, fornication, remarriage, and other doctrines.
