The Awful Horror
“The abomination that causes desolation” means a disgusting thing that causes ruin. It is a loathed thing that brings about destruction and feelings of sadness, loneliness, sorrow or despair. “By their fruits you will know them” it is written. And being mean, cruel and vindictive are not fruits of any good spirit.

Let the reader discern- those who are wise and can understand, should do so.
Popes R Us
The picture of an awful man sitting in the seat of a hardly-dead pope is a useful distraction from attention being paid to his other many and awful agendas.
The kindness that Pope Francis offered to the stranger, the poor and the immigrant is the opposite message to Christian Nationalism. Theirs is the message of an anti-pope, so we are disgusted (desolate) by a picture of an abomination putting himself sitting in the holy seat.
This post is a search for some meaning, an allegorical or metaphorical interpretation of the chaos. This interpretation disavows ‘him’ being portrayed in any way as Christ-like, or representing anything good, fine spirited or sacred. It pokes-satiric and take some of the air out of the fat tyres of puffery and hypocrisy we have to put up with these days from the cult devotees worshiping their idol.
Time and times again. How long?
"There shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation."
Supposedly the covenant that the anti-Christ makes lasts for seven years. So that, this anti-democratic devils time could be paralleled as his first term and 3 years more? But this is not about any actual Revelatory end times yet, I feel. But we can still ask, how long might this current dismay go on for? Practically speaking, is there some spiritual limit we could propose? There is mention in Daniels prophecies of 1290 days so it is possible if one was to count and use that number as a literal measuring rod, that the orange mafia lord might last just shy of his 8th year in office, that is six months prior to his current term ending.
So bad news, the beatings will continue until morale improves. It gives us a chance to consider how we can organize society and do better for each other and if the Democrats want to, they can repent of their surrender monkey ways too. And on the plus side - no third term! What will happen? Clogged artery, busted blood vessel or JD Vance and the boys take him out like Caesar in the temple? Pride always comes before a fall, and what a fall it will be.
And if sneering and jeering at dead Pope Francis is allowed and “only a joke” then this post is also considered “only a joke”.
