All you ever need to know about Pope Francis is that he agreed to allow the communist Chinese government to appoint Catholic bishops in China.

This has probably been his worst and cruelest act yet. He’s an evil, evil little person but he and his lefty gay backers think he’s the Second Coming.

I’m not saying this because I’m a “traddie,” and in fact I can’t stand reading about people who boast about being “traddies.” Sorry, but all we are is Catholics, some orthodox according to the old standards, some orthodox according to VII standards, most completely indifferent and doing whatever happens in their parish, and some completely unorthodox because they’re following a power-crazed leftist fool from Argentina who doesn’t even get along well with Argentinians and has never even dared to go back there since the Germans engineered his takeover of the Vatican.

Actually, I was banned from P15 because I criticized “traddie” fixations (on stupid stuff like headscarves for women and their idealization of 1950s American Catholicism...which gave us VII). We have to quit worrying about a fantasy time and cute old practices and defend the Faith without defining ourselves as some little special band of better people. We’re all sinners and we’re all going to die and we are all trusting in Our Lord that death will be but a moment and all our questions will be resolved in His presence.

Destroying the suffering Chinese Church has been Francis’ worst act yet, but I am sick because I see no protests.

Stick to the Faith and God will sort it out.
