I'm not into reading books other people write ABOUT churches.
I'd rather learn about the church on my own and make up my own mind about it.
It's kind of like reading ABOUT the bible
Instead of reading the bible, I'd reather read the bible...
Pope Francis is making a concerted effort (woth other churches) to try and come closer together in doctrineal beliefs.
The Catholic Church is changing a lot. I believe this is why Benedict retired; he did not agree with these changes.
IF the Pope were to become the head of the big one.world church, no one will mind because the Catholic Church will have changed drastically by then. It's not happening in our lifetime.
It took about 40 years for Vatican Council II to really start taking effect. Catholics don't accept change easily.
I'd relax if I were you. I have a feeling the Lord is coming back soon and I also believe the Anti-Christ will be taking over the church. Pope Francis is not the Anti-Christ. He is FOR Christ.

FranC unless you are older than the 1948 timeline, You and I will probably see bible prophecy come to fruition. I don't think the RCC has time to change especially since they have already had almost 2000 years only change when forced to by the reformation.
Again I agree the Pope is not the Anti-Christ nor will he in all likelihood be the false Prophet.
I also saw nothing changed in any serious way when the Vatican Council II announced their new doctrinal beliefs.
