” He claims that Pope Benedict had quietly removed McCarrick from public ministry “
the Bishop- in his 11 page letter!- claims Francis
OVERTURNED pope Benedicts sanctions- and this bishop
went to the pope directly to complain !!
I am very worried about the Evil now living in the church
Even when caught- allowed to remain! schism coming again
to the Catholic church? like the protestant reformation?
I don't have any special "insider Catholic baseball" information, but --- No, I don't think it would be like the Protestant Reformation. It won't result in flare-ups of continent-wide religious warfare lasting over a century.
More likely (this is only my guess) maybe at the death of Benedict, somebody in the College of Cardinals will release another Vigano-type testimony detailing the politicking before, during and after the 2013 Papal Conclave which voted for Jorge Bergoglio. "Politicking" hasn't been precisely defined, but supposedly any wheeling and dealing is illicit and would invalidate the conclave.
Then we got trouble, since there isn't any specified mechanism for doing that kind of investigation as to whether the charge of politicking is true or not, and whether it rose to the level of a canonical crime ("delict").
Maybe if Pope Emeritus Benedict and Bergoglio both passed on, there could be a new conclave electing a new pope who would try Bergoglio for illicit conclave or heresy posthumously (it's been done.) In which case all of his official acts and appointments could be invalidated.
What a mess.
I depend on the Holy Spirit to sort this out. But I suspect it won't be quick or easy, and might not be worked out in my lifetime.
Or the Lord could come again. That's a possibility.
