As some of us suspected, "pope" Leo seems to be pretending to be a "traditional Catholic" and "conservative", while attacking the Catholic faith and arguably presenting himself more clearly as not Catholic, nor as a Catholic pope.

Apparently in a recent "papal" message he said:

> However, when we read the account of what is commonly called the “multiplication of the loaves” (cf. Mt 14:13-21; Mk 6:30-44; Lk 9:12-17; Jn 6:1-13), we realize that the real miracle performed by Christ was to show that the key to overcoming hunger lies in sharing rather than in greedily hoarding.

Catholics believe the "real miracle" of the multiplication of the loaves, was an actual supernatural miracle where a few loaves of bread physically became many more loaves of bread. To suggest the "real miracle" of this story, is that Christ was helping the hungry and was displaying a virtue of being charitable, seems as an indirect denial of the belief in the tangible supernatural miracle that took place in the story.

We would not expect a Catholic or pope to say such a thing.

The multiplication of the loaves was an actual supernatural miracle.

The lesson is that God provides us with everything we need, no matter how "impossible" it may seem to us!

Except the multiplication only happened because the goal was to feed the larger-than-expected crowd with what was available.

How does that not make sense?

The crowd was not larger than expected. He'd been preaching to them for 3 days, and they were all out of supplies. They didn't just show up for dinner, unannounced.

He said "if I send them away like this, they'll faint along the way." So out of generous consideration for their needs, which they themselves did not even anticipate, he gave them supernatural gifts to sustain them.

You do not know what you need, nor are you prepared for the road ahead. But God foresees your need and provides for you.
