And now Pope Francis unveils a statue of Luther on the Vatican. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

As a kid the nuns taught us,among other things,that "thou shalt not" was a simple,unambiguous statement meaning "don't".

The current Pope,unlike previous ones,doesn't seem to agree.

Excellent article. Magnam gratiam. Great thanks. “...Trying to look in control.” The children running the Vatican are not doing a very good job. Thus, they become suspicious, selfish and well, childish. The solution is to listen to Pope Benedict XVI who learned how to subordinate the political good (tv appearances, fan letters) to the ecclesial good (focus on the Lord, obedience to promptings from the Holy Spirit). Francis has been sucked into the inferior political good, because he does not understand the ecclesial good. Thankfully, there are enough solid theologians around the world, such as the author above, who have the power to say to Francis the words of Hans Christian Andersen: the king has no clothes!

Francis is evil. There is nothing else to say. I would ask the Cardinals to remove him, but they are no longer in control.
