Around the time of every Papal election, one hears over and over that “the Holy Spirit chooses the Pope.”
This superstition has no basis whatsoever in the teaching of the Catholic Church.
It’s a dangerous superstition, because it tempts many people to look at a stupid, vain, shallow Pope (like Bergoglio) and say, “This man must not really be Pope, because the Holy Spirit would protect the Church against having a Pope like this.”
No. Bergoglio is really Pope. He’s just a stupid, vain, shallow Pope.
The Catholic Church has survived even worse Popes, even a couple of heretic Popes, whose blunders had to be corrected by their successors.
