Famed German Catholic philosopher makes waves for criticizing Pope Francis’ ‘autocratic’ style
The article above relates to something written by a current catholic philosopher on the current Pope. This article is not about the prophecy of the Popes. However this independent writing seems to be pointing to signs that make the prophecy seem plausible.
Some quotes from the article:
"he could break loose massive conflicts and the bad centrifugal forces could put in danger the Church as a whole. The analogy to Mikhail Gorbachev comes to mind – with all its differences: There comes a reformer from above and the changes make the whole edifice sway. That has to be avoided at all cost.”"
“It can be that Francis' way is perceived as a new start – or as a failure. I always try to find a standard with which to measure by reading the Gospels and the Letters of the Apostles. St. Paul says that there will come teachers who say things that sound beautiful for the ears and the people will follow them. But you, says St. Paul to Timothy, shall not be confounded. Pass on the treasure that you have received, in an unfalsified and unshortened manner.”
And at another place, Spaemann says: “This Pope is one of the most autocratic [popes] that we have had in a long time.”
“I find this formulation awkward. Both have to come together. Francis divides the two areas of the Church – theology and practice. And wants to keep them separate. The theologians shall do their work, but the shepherds shall not pay much attention to them. It seems to me that he does not read much, and does not care much about theology.

Spaemann, as well as his colleague, Joas, both express in this interview their critique of Pope Francis' sometimes “autocratic” methods and leadership. Spaemann says:
“The pope has the unrestricted power of definition and also the full jurisdiction, something that the Orthodoxy for example completely rejects. Francis stresses that he can directly intervene in every diocese of the world.

Pope visits the ancient idolatrous ancient city of Ur in Chaldea, modern day Iraq. Why would the Pope visit such city, if God Himself called Abraham out of the city. One of the ancient ruins still standing today is the Ziggurat, which may be in the Papal itinerary. If Ur is the city of idolatry against God, then the Ziggurat is the focal point of that idolatry, which houses a temple a the top of it. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/5/pope-to-visit-ancient-city-of-ur-the-cradle-of-civilization
