Pope Benedict XVI Predictions for the Future of the Church 

I have also just realized how brilliant cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was . A great intellectual whose theology is centered in truth realized only through faith. God bless you Pope emeritus!

Media is plural of Medium

There are some interviews in german he gave. May be I'll translate. This is a true brilliant Pope.

Just brilliant...

@@catholicprophecies that would be interesting to hear

Read him more, he will get you back Home... Its time german people after 500 years to stop protesting

Exactly! He was made a Cardinal on 27 June 1977, a month after being installed as Abp of Munich & Freising.

He is not good, time will tell trust me

Amazing. I'm so happy for you.

Great news. A warm welcome back to the flock. God continue to guide you and bless you and your loved ones.

Interesting. So, do you think that the Grand Jury that convicted this BA'Al Priest of aiding and abetting PEDOPHILES are lying?

Look my channel for visions. Am a professional or. Am for Benedict of course. THE WORST IS NOT TO KILL A POPE BUT TO PUT HIM ASIDE AND MAKE THE CHURCH GOERS PRAY EACH MASS SAYING THEY PRAY FOR OUR POPE AND NAME A LIE. that's introducing in all even in front of Christ a lie. The spirit of the devil. It is like APOCALYPSE WHEN JESUS SAYS: JEZABEL TEACHING THE CHILDREN TO EAT PROFANE MEAT SO AS STUMBLING BLOCK. Of course a real pope is a prophet. Always been. But not antipopes. Francis is Antipope.

@@EmilianButoi no one has the power to detroy what God has established. It means this; if God has chosen you to be the leader of his people, there's no human who will have a power over you to kill you or to take out of the throne of God until you die. John10:1-15

St. What happened to our precept that "The gates of hell shall NOT PREVAIL AGAINT IT". That is God's words. That is God speaking about His Church. Don't lose faith. God is in charge. Not the clergy not the people!

Say the Rosary everyday my friends

@@TheRajapala Amen

Hermawan Lukman , saying rosaries is satanic according to God. He said we should not keeping those repetitive prayers...

@@marie-marthetercy3758 So the Bible is satanic?! The words of the Our Father and Hail Mary is from the Gospel!

The current pontiff receives plaudits from secular critics of the Catholic church and from liberal dissenters within the church. That fact alone might present enough reason to look at him suspiciously. On the other hand, such observers sometimes misconstrue things Francis says, but doesn't quite mean, and then run off half-cocked with breathless stories about a pope with whom non-Christians can finally feel comfortable. Then again, the vigilant faithful sometimes attack him unfairly, before they analyze the meaning and intent his statements had in context. To make a long story shorter, I hesitate to overgeneralize about the pope, since I find it difficult to get an accurate read on him. He brings this controversy on himself, however, because the man does not think or speak coherently. Perhaps his leftist worldview and politics have addled his brain. My greatest concern is that he has surrounded himself with a Curia and other advisors who all think alike and who take their cues from the attitudes and values of atheist European culture and media, as well as from globalist elites. I believe they would feel more at home with a godless, Bible-disdaining university professor or a Jew-hating Muslim than they would with a solid, traditional, mass-attending communicant of the church in the American Midwest or the Philippines. As an outsider and non-expert on the Vatican, I want to stay cautious and don't want to offend folks who adore this pontiff, who is likely a dear man in some respects. Still, I listen skeptically to whatever he and his aides say. If he isn't a moral fool, he does a good impression of one.

Music Lover..... Your understanding is wrong. There are not "branches of the Christian communion" There is only the Church led by the Pope = Catholic.

God's Word says, "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." It does not say, "If you are received by men into a particular institution, you will be saved." The Holy Spirit, speaking through John the Apostle, also says, "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has become a child of God." He does not say, "Everyone who is baptized into the Pope's church has become a child of God." The Scripture continues, "And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life." Again, notice that Scripture does not say, "He has given us eternal life, and this life is in His earthly, institutional church. Whoever enlists in His earthly church has life; whoever does not enlist in His earthly church does not have life." The Church, the body of Christ, is taught in the Bible to be made up of those redeemed souls for whom Christ gave His life as a ransom and atonement, who place their trust in His finished, saving work and who are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Bid, one of your own great saints - St. Jerome - said, "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." I could go on and on, proving my contention just from the verses I know by heart. Followers of the church headquartered in the Vatican may or may not be born-again members of God's family, depending on their relationship with God through Christ. Many are, I have no doubt. However, they definitely do not comprise the Church, exclusively.

Music Lover that is protestant B.S. Crap put out by Luther to justify heresy. What Christ clearly told us. is: Tu est Petrus et Hanc Petram Edificabo Ecclesia Meum. He also said: Hanc est Corpus Meum. Outside the One True Church there is no connection to Christ and no salvation ---- so you remain a protestant you risk the same fate as all the pagans and atheists before you.

Crude and classless, as well as clueless. You disgrace your religion.

I think he was forced to resign y the mason/judea controlled jesuits. He was the last worthy Bishop of Rome.

Yes, when the Church which has lost its way comes home

He is a living doctor of church

Imagine that!!! He prophesized all this but didn't stay as a Pope!!! I still feel the pain when he stepped down. Now we have a two Popes which has caused trouble that's the reality.

Tam Daly I completely agree with you. I think he is one of the greatest Theological minds in the history of the Church. He is loved and dearly missed! Blessings to you.

Church Fathers.... Those are great teacher, he will be one of those

That's why we should pray without ceasing.. our Mother ask to pray for each other

On June 18, 1968, Bp. Giovanni Battista Montini - then the head of the Vatican II Sect and known as “Pope” Paul VI - signed an “apostolic constitution” to change the Roman Catholic rite of ordination. These changes touched not only some of the more peripheral ceremonies but the very substance of the sacrament itself. The very words which Pope Pius XII, in 1947, had definitively decreed were necessary for the validity of the sacrament of holy orders, were changed by Paul VI in such a way as to render the ordination of priests doubtful and the consecration of bishops definitely invalid. So Ratzinger was never a bishop or cardinal after 1969 either.

Patrick St. Paul that’s not true. You suggest that the apostolic succession ceased to exist after 69? If that’s the case, the Church is no more? Preposterous

Then, when he became a cardinal?

Jesus said do not call anyone father except for him ..

Kay Smith how much worse do you think it will get?

Jim McIntyre God showed me many things when I was young. However, God is able to omit some punishments as we repent with true conversion. I saw enemy planes overhead, civil war, aliens that are really demons (told to pray) and saw myself in prison waiting for guillotine. Churches are fasting and praying. Trump has given us a window of peace through the grace of God. Catholics must be onward Christian soldiers holding our Rosaries and be ready for living out the book of Revelation. Our faith may be tested. I believe in the power of prayer and the love of God.

Kay Smith sadly that vision is not hard to imagine. Lord have Mercy on us!

I never heard that. Pope Francis studied chemistry.

@Collins Anosike, these religions recognize Abraham, but that does not mean they are the same religion. Catholics understand that truth matters and attributing false revelation from God is heresy and a serious offense. Islam and Judaism falsely believe there is spiritual benefit from having a physical connection to Abraham. Catholics believe that through Holy communion we are connected to God. Catholics believe this connection, if rejected, excludes one from eternal salvation.

@@sedevacantist1 You haven't read the Holy Bible!

@@monicabella7894 From Ratzinger’s book “The Meaning of Christian Brotherhood” page 88 “Protestantism has made an important contribution to the realization of Christian faith, fulfilling a positive function in the development of the Christian message and, above all, often giving rise to a sincere and profound faith in the individual non-Catholic Christian” So Ratzinger calls the Protestants Christians. Did you read this in the bible? Ephesians 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, how many faiths are there? Pope Pius XI, Rerum omnium perturbationem (#4), Jan. 26, 1923: “The saint…Francis de Sales, Bishop of Geneva and Doctor of the Universal Church. Like those brilliant examples of Christian perfection and wisdom to whom We have just referred, he seemed to have been sent especially by God to contend against the heresies begotten by the [Protestant] Reformation. It is in these heresies that we discover the beginnings of that apostasy of mankind from the Church, the sad and disastrous effects of which are deplored, even to the present hour, by every fair mind.” The great apostasy foretold by the apostle St. Paul is all around you and you are blind to it.

Sorry but this was a radio show, so I had no control of the speed. You can pause the video if it is too fast.

He has more depth than becoming part of a violent cult. He serves the Truth of God, not the barbarity of mere men.

Yes u r probably right since Allah has saved him from man made fake Christianity. Allahu Akbar check you tube for his hajj performance

Aziza Ali, your human all too human cult has made you into a fool.

@@isaiahfootnote8534 so what about the billions of muslim worshipper s do they seem to u fools n why Islam seem to be the fastest growing religion in earth. Think

Aziza Ali, your cult relies upon coercion, force, threat, and violence. It has never expanded by reason or by persuasion. It has never allowed debate. It is a cult of death and violence having brought nothing but blood and ignorance to the world. Not for nothing is your cult in conflict with EVERY alternative system and creed that it encounters today, and has encountered throughout history. The blood drenched borders of islam. As for your venal claim of it being the fastest growing, that is debatable, but what isn't debatable is that birth rate within your cult is high. The wombs of islam are weaponized. You and I know that.

AaAaAaAaAaA most Germans became mentally weak after WWII

He looks like a Sith lord because he is old right? Looks is not important in this case.

What's important is whether he did anything to confront the gay/predator priest crisis in the church. One estimate is as high as half of the clergy are gay and 11% prey on minors. Is not silence in the face of evil, evil itself?

@@user-xd4rs6vr4n He laicized between 700 to 800 priests. He tried.

he is still being silent right now

you talk bollicks

What a twisted lie. He never said that

Patrick St. Paul- What is it about powerful religious truth, that brings out the crazies? Where would you possibly get the idea, that Pope Benedict, one of the most profoundly faithful and articulate disciples of Jesus Christ today, could possibly deny Jesus as the Messiah? Are you psychologically unbalanced, or taking mind altering drugs? That is the only explanation I can think of for such a ridiculous statement! You and all the other nut cases denigrating this truly admirable defender of the faith, whose voluminous public writings leave no doubt whatsoever about his true faith, are truly puzzling to me. Maybe, there is just an unbelievable amount of ignorance about the man and all that he is written!
