The Knights of Malta ended in 2017, with the illegitimate coup promoted by the bishop of Rome. Ever since that time, as we said then, they have simply become the Knights of the Condom.

Too late.
Cat out of the bag.
How does one pass around “warm fuzzies”?
What’s your problem?
Posting articles for discussion is what FR is for. (Good AND bad articles)
In an objective sense, It doesn't really matter what is written here.
For the Roman church--and for Western Christianity--The Mass of The Ages is Truth and Beauty on earth. It will never be suppressed. These 'knights' (and many during and after Vatican II) are in direct disobedience of Pope Pius V with his proclamation in his Quo Primum.
Massive resignations and defections from Malta will accelerate. It will become more a joke than it is has already become.
It's. on.
It’s not that people are “afraid” to say what you said, but rather know that:
A. Saying it as you did will just serve to get the post in question pulled, most likely, as probably as this post is written, yours is already being expunged. Thus, will ultimately serve no purpose.
B. The OP has at times, even now, legitimate if not apparently biased criticisms of the Church today. Indeed, Francis shares some blame for all this, with his apparent disdain for anything “traditional”, generally speaking, and more specifically his aloof treatment of the scandal in PA and elsewhere recently revealed. Not to mention his near obsession with environmental issues almost to the detriment of other more traditional (no pun intended) Catholic “social” issues like abortion.
Make no mistake I myself don’t go as far as the OP in my opinion of the Holy Father and in fact this is the first time I’ve spoken of him (the Pope) in a long time. Both publicly and privately. Given all he has done throughout his pontificate, I prefer to simply remain mum out of respect for the office and him in particular.
I pray for him, every day in my Rosary, but remain quiet. I cannot tell others to do the same, as I’m not Pope (haha thank God) and also, again, his public critics here have some valid concerns, but let me conclude with this public statement of support for what you have written here.
Not the vulgarities of course, not even the personal attack, but on the general notion you effectively (if not crudely) communicated to whit: that Catholics, unless communicated in a respectful manner due the successor of St. Peter, should not criticize the Pope if not done so respectfully, and in fact are duty bound to at least consider what he says, take it to heart, pray about it, think about it some more and then make a judgment. And then only speak publicly about such a judgement if it is supportive of him or if critical, only if done with respect.
I have seen little of that latter, required, respectful tone from many on this forum who call themselves Catholic. I would urge them to pray about their words more carefully before typing in the future. Advice we can all take to heart really.
I agree....
I’m sorry, but I do not agree that Frankie the Commie is due any respect whatsoever.
You might want to expend that energy on the folks here who continually break the caucus and others who continually denigrate the Church in dishonest fashion.
"All your base are belong to us"
Oh hush up. We just want the Church as it was before it was taken from us (Mary: About 1960, it will become clearer).
Order of Malta Head Bars Traditional Latin Mass
Festing suspended von Boselager in December 2016 due to a condom distribution scandal involving Malteser International, the order's charity arm which von Boeselager oversaw.
After an internal investigation determined von Boeselager was complicit in a scheme to dole out contraceptives in poor countries around the world, Festing repeatedly called on him to resign. Von Boeselager disobeyed these orders from Festing, which eventually led to Festing suspending him.
In April 2017, Church Militant reported on a document, circulated internally among the order's members, which stated that von Boeselager wanted vengeance against Festing for the suspension, so he went to Cdl. Reinhard Marx, a fellow German, for help.
That internal document suggested that von Boeselager, with the help of Cdl. Marx and others, maneuvered and applied pressure in the Vatican such that he would be reinstated and Festing would resign.
The document also spoke of shady financial dealings.
“I have seen little of that latter, required, respectful tone from many on this forum who call themselves Catholic. “
‘Required, respectful tone’ is required only for legitimate popes. You can’t have two, right, Pope Benedict?
“in fact are duty bound to at least consider what he says, take it to heart, pray about it, think about it some more and then make a judgment”
No Catholic is required to consider Satan’s point of view, either directly or through his minions. In fact, any sincere contemplation is forbidden, naturally. This papacy possibly is Satan’s crowning (and potentially final) achievement, a direct attack on the Church, and anything but outright militant rebellion against it is sinful and deficient for any Catholic or other Christian.
It’s not that we weren’t warned: tagline
Oh good grief.....sigh
Sounds like a reaction out of the NeoCatholic Deep State or Vatican Swamp.
