On a theologian's miracle and his criticizing the Pope.

Tweet

There must be more to the miracle story than meets the eye. First, the theologian was keen on writing the Pope. It was in his mind, to write down his criticism of the Pope. He needed to express his view and let the Pope know that the infallibility the Pope owns by virtue of being Pope is threatened by the Pope's very own declaration on several issues that do not seem to jibe with the doctrine of the church. So the theologian formulated in his mind a sign he wanted the Almighty to do so he could proceed with his criticism. The events that followed incredibly transpired as the theologian asked as the sign. He met someone he has not seen for twenty years and told him to 'Keep up the good writing.' That justified his letter to the Pope. Second, is it a miracle? Is it truly the work of the Almighty? What I am deriving at, or clarifying, is the theologian could have it all formulated, and willed it to happen, not exactly the Divine Intervention We, ordinary people, do that when we desire something desperately. And it happens. The power of the mind. Third, what if the sign is not exactly the work of God? And the theologian was misled. Or deceived. Remember, there exists a nemesis called the evil one who could also manipulate through malicious schematic events. By and large, the church cautions the faithful to exercise discernment. Knowing the prophecies that have been made about the end of times, and the downfall of the Pope being targeted, the action of the theologian brought fear and speculation and divisiveness. Not exactly a reassuring action to solidify the faithful in our fight for good versus evil. Pope Francis has asked for prayers since the very first day he was made Pope. Let us accord him that. The issues at hand will have a way of correcting, by the greater power of God, when He wills it. But the church stands, rock solid, as our Lord Jesus instituted two millenniums ago.
