As a Christian I try not to call out the Catholic Church for what it is. Trying to be decent here. But bottom line, anything or anyone that gets in between you and our Lord Jesus Christ…is something of the enemy, Satan. This “church” has placed this person called a pope, between them and God. I’ve got two family members who are Catholic. And to hear them talk about who protects them and who intercedes for them. Who blesses them…after 30 mins I just had to say, “you haven’t mentioned Jesus once….”. Oh they know who Jesus is. They know His purpose. But as far as a relationship…personally, I question that. Satan has placed to many more “things” in the way of a personal relationship with Jesus. I was even told that they would feel wrong to walk up into my church, which happens to be a southern Baptist church(although I don’t care for denominations personally and don’t call myself a Baptist). How weird is that? Can’t walk up into a place that worships Christ. And reads from the Bible? I can walk into any church who does that. And I read along in my Bible to make sure they are speaking God’s truth.
And as far as this picture. Dark cloaks, hidden faces. The depiction of Jesus has always been clear to me. Spotless and beautiful white clothing with hair white like wool(Revelation). So face showing. These hooded figures seem dark and not of a holy God. Imo.
i know that's creepy but they wear those during solemn occasions so people are not looking at them but are paying attention to, for example, the pope's passing. To say this is based on Matthew 6:16 which is a verse about not showing a miserable face during fasting makes no sense because 6:18 tells you to show your face as though you are not fasting so what they are doing goes against what is being taught. That's my understanding. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
The video depicts a religious procession, likely a Holy Week event, such as a Semana Santa (Holy Week) celebration common in Spain or Latin America, featuring participants in hooded robes carrying a statue adorned with flowers.
The setting appears to be inside a church or cathedral, with participants wearing traditional robes and some carrying instruments, which aligns with Catholic rituals honoring the Passion of Christ.
The upside-down cross on the sleeves, noted in a reply, is likely a Petrine Cross, symbolizing the martyrdom of St. Peter, who was crucified upside down, rather than a satanic symbol [Web ID: 1].
The date of the post, April 22, 2025, is after Holy Week (March 30 to April 5 in 2025), suggesting this may be footage from a different event or year, as it does not align with the typical Holy Week timeline.
Pope Francis reportedly died on April 20, 2025, per web sources, and his funeral is scheduled for Saturday, April 26, 2025, meaning this video is not related to his funeral, despite the post's speculation [Web ID: 0].
The hooded figures resemble the Genii Cucullati, ancient Romano-Celtic religious figures, but in this context, they are more likely participants in a modern Catholic brotherhood (cofradía), a common sight in Holy Week processions [Web ID: 2].
Cause that’s exactly what it is. It was hijacked by pagan blood worshippers in 600ad, and then again in 967ad.
Disturbing!
