Stacking the Deck: Francis creates 5 new Cardinals

He announced it today, the consistory will be on June 28. The deck is getting stacked:

They are Archbishop Omella of Barcelona, Spain; Bishop Arborelius of Stockholm, Sweden; Archbishop Zerbo, of Bamako, Mali; Apostolic Vicar Bp. Ling, of Pakse, Laos; and, bizarrely enough, from the Archdiocese of San Salvador, El Salvador, it's Auxiliary Bishop, Bp. Rosa Chavez (the Archbishop, named by Benedict XVI in 2008, is not a Cardinal).

Note the studied, dogged determination to upend everything, create chaos. And if any of these characters are not depraved, pestilential heretics, it was an accident.

He even encouraged Catholic youth to make a mess out there.

All popes thus “stack the deck,” but I distrust Francis’s political outlook, so I’m sorry to see it.

The above news regarding new Cardinals is eerily reminiscent of FDR's attempts at stacking and packing the Supreme Court and lower federal courts during the New Deal days with the aim of obtaining favorable legal rulings.

Roosevelt was to a large extent successful...and most of his important socialist policies were rammed through the Congress with little or no blockage from the higher courts when the policies were legally challenged.

Eighty years later, we still suffer from the effects of many of Roosevelt's agenda initiatives. I look for this current marxist pope to stack the Cardinal pack with priests favorable to his agenda......now and for as long as he's still in office and still breathing.

Here is a sculpture in the Vatican with the throne where the Pope sits. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Reminds me of the creature in “Alien”, and that’s sad because I’m supposed to be looking at the Lord.

Most ‘modern’ art is garbage but there are still some traditional artists who create beautiful masterpieces. They obviously didn’t go that route here.
Very discouraging to see this unholy trash in the Vatican.

I am not an individual that adheres to one group’s interpretation of our omnipresent being. I honestly loathe the Catholic heirarchy as they have ridden the backs of their “flock” to only live the life of Reilly....that which they condemn. But now fags are okay ?

The ‘help’ in the Vatican call it satan’s throne or something like that.

Modern ‘art’ is garbage. It is a movement created to destroy beautiful art. Our Savior should always be presented as a thing of beauty, hope, love etc. This ‘art’ is nothing of the sort.

We have come a long way since Michelangelo. That thing looks like a Thing (from the movie) and Alien.

Please document, if you will, that the photo is not a hoax.

That’s the famous “Bats Out of Hell” sculpture.

It’s not a hoax. It’s in the great audience hall built during the time of Paul VI.

I’d like to see the next Pope blow it up.

Are you serious? As a Catholic and parent of Catholic children I guess I have no business posting on “Catholic Caucus” threads.

“Please document, if you will, that the photo is not a hoax.”

“”It was unveiled by Pope Paul VI in 1977 and dominates the stage of the Vatican hall where the pope’s general audiences are held.”
