The Reproach of Christ now features guest posts by: Francisco Figueroa
Pope Francis is Our Holy Father, Supreme Head of the whole Church, Father and Teacher of all Christians, and Supreme Pontiff.
Papal critics: “Let us explain to you why Pope Francis is wrong.”
Ron Conte: “Let me explain to you what the word ‘faith’ means.”
Those who reject the Magisterium, grasp at straws seeking its replacement.

If the works of God seem foolish to you, who is the fool — God or you?

The Bible says thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
What is a witch?
And carry out this commandment in practice?
Witch is a bad translation.
{22:18} Maleficos non patieris vivere.
{22:18} You shall not permit practitioners of the black arts to live.
I translated it as “practitioners of the black arts”. That’s a little awkward as a phrasing, but accurate. It refers to person practicing Satanism or any religion that calls upon fallen angels for assistance, esp. in doing evil, i.e. the occult.
