This version of The Weekly Francis covers material released in the last week from 10 April 2014 to 3 May 2014.
The Weekly Francis is a compilation of the Holy Father’s writings, speeches, etc which I also post at Jimmy Akin’s The Weekly Francis. Jimmy Akin came up with this idea when he started “The Weekly Benedict” and I have taken over curation of it.

Dear Jeff,
I know that I’ve still got a lot to learn in my old age and I must thank you cause believe it or not, you have helped me in various ways. True that others have also been of help and I’m learning more and more new stuff every day on the internet and have learned that good and bad seems to go hand and hand nowadays.
For years, my older sister would continually tell me that all priest should get married and for years, my ignorance would politely keep telling her in so many words that it would happen when same-sex-marriage was blessed in Catholic Churches while reality dogs and cats would watch on.
Long story short, I’ve learned that there is now about five stages to our Catholic Christian Church where not every soul agrees with it which goes as follows:
#1. There are those who have never accepted the new version of Vatican !!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Vatican_Council
#2. There are some who only want to accept new teaching of Vatican 2

#3. Priest who are allowed to be married and serve Mass

#4. Woman priest nothing wrong version

#5. Those Catholics who believe that it is wrong to deny marriage to same-sex couple.

This last one hit close to home when sinner vic told me that dogs in the flesh were allowed in our Catholic Church at any time especially during “The Sacrament of Confirmation” and long story short, I was literally thrown out but went back in to finish being the sponsor for one of our Grandson.
Jeff! I’m please to say that I’m not an official prophet and as a matter of fact, I honestly believe that I’m not even a prophet cause I’m sure that sinner vic would bring on “Armageddon” if “I” was? LOL 🙂

Enough for now! 🙂
God Bless Peace
Jeff, I know that I should at least try reading some of the material which have been written by His Holiness and believe me I use to read it here but long story short since I continued reading His Holiness on Twitter, I have now lost interest in reading any of the good stuff. I know that’s not right but sinner vic keeps telling me that it is OK with him.
Relax folks cause gods can’t make YA do anything YA don’t want to when you’re under the protection of “The Holy Spirit” and “His Army of Believing Angels”. Right? .
I’m not blaming you Jeff and as a matter of fact, if I was to blame any “ONE” it would be GOD (Good Old Dad) and I ask, What “MAN” in his write mind would do such a thing? 🙁
I was surprised to hear from someone whom I thought knew a bit about the internet but now I have my doubts cause I asked this person in so many words why our Pope would be allowing his name to be used in this way on Twitter. With respect, I was told that it really was not his account and he really is not on Twitter….. I politely interrupted and said, “if you’re trying to tell me that he doesn’t have time to spend on such silliness then I can agree otherwise……………………..

I’ll close by saying! He is in charge of who can use his name! Is he not Jeff?
I hear YA! A Rosary right now would be a good idea Victor!
So True! LOL 🙂
God Bless
