“Service.” Kneeling and washing the feet of Muslim invaders.

The operative word is “kneeling.”

Because Saint John Paul II almost totally neglected his duty to screen sodomites, scoundrels, and Communists out of the episcopate and cardinalate. He literally sat at his desk and signed the first letter (there are always three) of appointment. No one could get him to pay attention to warnings about the reprobates he was appointing.

The Four Cardinals are taking the ONLY course of action available.

Well, he’s supposed to be doing all those Pope-y things but all I get is The Motorcycle Diaries when I hear him.

“I sometimes dread the tone, which can seem triumphalist.”

Wow. Pope Francis is reading lines given to him by writers from the 1960’s who are anti-Church, anti-Magisterium and anti-Trent. A worldly person is working as the Pope. Amazing. The Lord is watching and I trust His ability to fix the situation although it seems impossible.

Not really. The four cardinals- and all out there who call themselves Catholic- can turn their backs on this Marxist in a silly hat.

But then there's the cognitive dissonance factor. The Pope is supposed to be the infallible vicar of Christ. Yet here he is spouting flagrantly anti-Christ garbage.

Catholicism is at a no-win crossroads. They must choose to uphold the infallibility of the pope in his role as vicar of Christ (although the pope by his words and actions clearly despises Christ), or adhere to the word of God Himself that asserts there is NO emissary between God and man save Christ Jesus. To choose either one knocks the stool from the catholic religion. Choose an anti-Christ pope, or choose to ignore him and knock out a linchpin of your entire religion. Sucks to be catholic.

The times, they are a-changin'.

Or admit that he is not a legitimate pope.

Your criticisms might sting, if your version of the teaching of the Church about Papal Infallibility didn’t come from Looney Tunes.

The Pope is infallible under very narrow circumstances, on a narrow set of subjects. He is not an “emissary” or oracle from God. As rotten as Bergoglio is, nothing he has said or done casts doubt on the Chuch’s ACTUAL understanding of infallibility.

Somehow I get the feeling that by “colonialism” he means evangelizing to muslims. And thinks we shouldn’t do it.
