I don’t know if he will resign or not. But there are more who know what’s going on than just Vigano. He learned to fear the Lord, and others may too. They can put a LOT of pressure on Francis.

I don’t know. There are more men recovering their manly courage over this who, I suspect, will not back down anymore.

The Archbishop of Madison, WI minced no words last week in his letter.

Hope I got spelling correct.

When you get older, and final judgement looms, office politics and careerism fade in importance. I hope that more senior prelates follow Vigano’s courageous act.

I know the war will be won. Christ promised victory. But to see so many Bishops, Clergy and now the Pope allow the battle to advance and the enemy gain such a strong foothold is difficult to bear.

Baloney. Most folks aren’t in any kind of revolt. Some are, but most laity are even more corrupt than the homoclergy.

They (we) LIKE their Catholicism soft and lite. They LIKE being told they can contracept. They LIKE having the homoclerics look the other way when their daughters obtain the pre-meditated murder of their unborn babies. They LIKE being flattered when the homoclergy stroke them in their econazi, SJW beliefs.

And the most non-Catholic of the laity are often the wealthiest.

I live in a wealthy parish. Folks are fine with homoclergy (our pastor is very flamboyant). Altogether, we have 12 priests. Only one - the African - is almost certainly not a sodomite. There is another who may not be a sodomite, but he’s so... unusual (we call him Fr. Asperger), that it’s hard to tell.

We are a large, active parish, with a mission church. My wife was in Bible study in the spring, and one of the women - a pro-abortion democrat running on Medicare for All - actively campaigned the entire spring, to the sweet coos of all the old women.

We take in ~$50K per WEEK. Since mccarrick, no drop in collections at all. Masses are still packed. We have a beautiful, historic church, and the collections to maintain this historic landmark do very well, indeed (and are separate from the $50K/week main collection).

The homoclerical demonocracy is circling the wagons with their allies in the satanic secular media, and they will make meaningless motions for a “clean-up,” but do nothing of substance, and sell it to us as earth-shattering change. Maybe the CUTCOP bergoglio (Cardinal Usurping The Chair Of Peter) will issue a “heartfelt” apology, they’ll throw a couple of cardinals overboard, and the laity will lap it up, like dogs going back to their vomit. Because the quid pro quo for the laity is that the homoclergy will continue to overlook the crimes of the laity.

The laity know. But they don’t want to know. They want it to all go away.

Good luck on the financial. Spiritually, I would say prayer and fasting coupled with the most effective means of admonishing the sinner. Protests are much more effective than eager financial things that will strangle all things. Too many prelates have the attitude of apres moi le deluge. It is time for the deluge to start knocking on gates.

But the homoclergy has usurped power. They won’t let go. The only way to force them to abandon their path is to starve them out. And the bulk of the laity will refuse to let them starve.

Sister Lucia, who related the following to Fr. Augustine Fuentes during a Dec. 26, 1957 interview:

“Father, the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Blessed Virgin. And the devil knows what it is that offends God the most, and which in a short space of time will gain for him the greatest number of souls. Thus the devil does everything to overcome souls consecrated to God, because in this way the devil will succeed in leaving the souls of the faithful abandoned by their leaders, thereby the more easily will he seize them.

Protests and ridicule should be capable of having an effect. While the bulk of the laity are fat and lazy, as it were, such people are unlikely to counter-protest. A vocal and energized 10% is more powerful than a fat and lazy 90%.

The last 3 of the 4 years I have been attending a Catholic scripture school. The focus will be on the remaining prophets, psalms,wisdom,and historic books. If the prophets could be around today, they would be screaming!

I don’t think so.

These pseudo-men ENJOY their idle lives of sin & luxury. wuerl lives in a 12,000 sq ft “apartment” on Embassy Row in DC. His cufflinks are beautiful (and, I imagine, very expensive).

He’s taken the art of avoiding unvetted hoi polloi to an unsurpassed level of mastery.

Why give it up?

In his case, he may be forced, as the rest of the homoclergy is making up its collective satanic mind which limbs must be amputated to preserve the life of the entire demonocracy. They’ll throw bones to us. A head or two here or there.

But, I’d lay odds that the demon mccarrick, even in his deposed state, is hidden away in some pleasant place, and, if his doctors still allow, drinking the wine fermented out of youthful adolescent boys’ blood.

These creatures from Hell don’t give a damn if we protest. Why should they collectively give up the good life? Because the peasants are impotently angry??

I’ve got a bridge to sell ya’.

They will not leave until they can’t pay for the upkeep of their palaces and can put groceries in the refrigerator.

But the 90% of fat and lazy laity will see to it that that day never comes.

If there are enough of you in the D.C. area to make Wuerl’s life a living hell whenever he attempts to go out in public, it would have an effect. Are there enough people around to picket his apartment on embassy row round the clock?

It’s a gated property. He’s called the police before on individuals who got beyond the gates. From his penthouse apartment, he would barely notice protestors on the city street below.

I think, in order to maintain the lifestyle of a billionaire (the property is assessed at $43 million - I’m not exaggerating that it’s the sort of place in which a billionaire would reside), he’d put up with having to ride through a picket line when he entered and exited the property. As well, the property takes up a small block, and there are streets on all four sides. Building multiple ingresses and egresses wouldn’t be hard at all.

wuerl, also, is in tight with local politicos, who mostly favor his pro-homo, pro-SJW, pro-union, pro-democrat agenda. I’d be surprised if he couldn’t prevail on the mayor’s office to send cops to counter-harass the protestors.

You seem to attribute a conscience, or a soul to this demon. Having met him, I never found any evidence therein.

In order to maintain his lavish lifestyle, he’ll put up with the occasional unpleasantness.
