Francis loves leftist, anti-Catholic bishops and despises bishops that actually live the faith.
I don’t disagree with a word you just wrote.
I just don’t see that as an argument against praying for the death of this one. And the next, and the next, and the next.
They’ll have to run out of them eventually.
At least Benedict spared us eight years of Bergoglio. That’s something. And with Bergoglio as Pope from 2005 to the present, no Summorum Pontificum.
Zero. Nada. Bupkis. But it’s good to get the technicalities right.
“Statistics put out by my Diocese indicate that over the past fifteen years the number of Catholics has fallen by 1/3 and Mass attendance has fallen by half”
You always post the most bleak reports about life in New Jersey or wherever you happen to be. I feel bad for you. Here, where I am in Washington State, attendance is booming and I was at a very healthy Confirmation meeting last night.
Booming in Oregon too!
I do my friend, I do.
I wasn't arguing with that point. I just don't agree with those who think Benedict could have saved us from Bergoglio if he hadn't resigned. The hierarchy was on the Bergoglio trajectory already. He was the next logical step in the Modernist revolution.
There are a lot of terrible things that would never have happened in the last three years if Benedict had not run away. Would the Church be much different fifty years from now? Not likely.
