Pope Francis has been the most controversial pope since Pius xii, who led the Catholic Church through World War ii.

Francis increased the profile of the Roman Catholic Church in many ways. Within months of becoming pope, he was arguably the most popular and loved man on Earth, the hope of millions, and Time magazine’s Person of the Year. The enthusiasm he brought to the church was called “the Francis Effect.”

Times have changed in the 12 years since Francis took office. In recent years, that luster had dimmed. Critics have complained that Francis liberalized the church and imposed his views on those reluctant to go along. The world has grown more dangerous and, in many ways, has shifted to the right politically. I wrote in our last issue, “I believe the changing time we live in will require a different pope. Pope Francis doesn’t quite fit the picture” (“A New Era Requires a New Pope”).

Letters

I like people like Gerald Flurry, who put insight into the Scriptures.
S. K.
Thanks for this teaching! Great topic that we definitely all need to know and determine when that is.
B. S.
I refer to your recent letter welcoming me as a new co-worker and laborer with the Philadelphia Church of God. I’d just like to say how honored and privileged I feel to be considered in such a way, and hope to continue to support God’s Work diligently through prayer and financially into the future.
E. S.
I would just like to say that I am so impressed with the message that I am reading in this booklet. It is helping me to deepen my understanding of the Bible and is a joy to read. The doctrine is very inspirational, helping me to build a desire to learn more. Many thanks.
K. M.
I love what you people are doing. I very much wanted to go to Tampa to hear Mr. Flurry, but I didn’t have a ride, but I love your material. I was a Seventh Day Baptist when I was younger, and I am so glad that I found people who keep the Ten Commandments.

Malachi’s Message
This is a story about God’s Church gone off track and what God did to correct the tragedy.
Herbert W. Armstrong founded the Worldwide Church of God in 1934 (though it began with a different name) and led it for over 51 years to its height in membership, global impact and income at the time of his death in 1986.
Soon, however, disturbing and significant changes in Church doctrine began to be introduced. The changes revealed a diversion in course, one that led to catastrophe.
