Could the Pope’s Death Mean the Demise of Liberal Catholicism?

Where’s Vlad Tepes when you need him?

[aquila48]

Actually more like what Obama did - *fundamentally transform” (destroy) the catholic church.

[vpintheak]

If the next pope is an “all paths lead to God” type, like Frank was; they’re doomed.

[FreedomPoster]

Correct.

Bill Warner covers that well in some of his videos.

No, it will continue.

Even tho he was an evil man, I would not celebrate his death. My preference for such is that he live long enough to see all he has done burn and then die in misery.

[Campion]

Tagle is bad, Parolin is worse. I will have to educate myself on Besungu. Eijk and Erdo would be solid, middle-of-the-road picks. I also like Pizzaballa, the Patriarch of Jerusalem.

[bray]

Social Justice has destroyed the Catholic Church.

[napscoordinator]

Yes it was.

[Old Yeller]

I wasn’t I pressed with Bergogolio either. He ruined the mass by changing the words. Yuk. I still say it the way I was taught through twelve years of Catholic school.,

What does it mean to use vain repetitions in prayer

[maro]

Yeah. Most of the leading candidates sound like Bergoglio.

[Flaming Conservative]

How? Didn’t he handpick liberals for the College of Cardinals?

[1ScrappyArmyMom]

Hasn’t the Catholic Church been shedding members a lot during the Commie Pope’s reign?
I mean as much as they want globalist justice BS and climate change, don’t they need the money?
I don’t follow much of the Catholic Church anymore since Francis started destroying it.
Of course Southern Baptists have got their own problems.

[tired&retired]

Francis stacked the deck. Best we can hope for is a stalemate with no pope elected. Isn’t it prophesy that Francis would be the last pope?

[Jacquerie]

It helps, even at FreeRepublic, to occasionally read the article before posting a comment.

[Responsibility2nd]

When the headline is a misnomer, then it’s safe to assume the article is also.

[Az Joe]

Yesss....no ones perfect

[metmom]

Not unless the rot within the College of Cardinals is cleaned out.

Francis didn’t become pope in a vacuum. He got voted in by the CoC.

[Luircin]

The College of Cardinals has been rotten for over a thousand years.

It’s just that now they’re rotten in a way that upsets tradcaths.

[metmom]

Hey, long time, no see.

How’re you doing?
