Maybe a new Pope can reverse the effects of the leftist “color revolution” that happened in the Catholic Church.
Here’s hope’n.
Catholics have been liberal long before Pope Frankie. And will be for years to come.
We’ll see. Depends on who they elect next. It will say a lot about the church’s internal power structure.
Francis appointed like minded very liberal cardinals to find his replacement, it won’t get better.
It better. Because this pope facilitated the Muslim invasion of Europe. We need a crusade now more than ever .
One step back...two forward. Hope we will return to the world where the Church was NOT a political entity.
best headline: “Pagan Pope In Perdition. No redemption from Pachamama.”
He’s appointed 80% of the cardinals who will be voting.
Social Justice has destroyed the Catholic Church.
We are going to get a Chinese puppet/ yes man as pope if the Vatican doesn’t delay the crap out of this/is destroyed. Remember the prophecy of Arnold win/Malachy
No, the liberals are too entrenched in the church. If a conservative is chosen he won’t last long.
I think just the opposite - but I hope I’m wrong.
Never forget: the cardinals elect the pope,
And Pope Francis has appointed most of the currently active cardinals.
Being a leftist, I’m sure the ones he appointed align with his views.
According to the Express.co.uk (Sorry, I don’t HTML) the top six contenders sor the papacy are:
Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle
Cardinal Pietro Parolin
Cardinal Wim Eijk
Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo Besungu
Cardinal Peter Erdo
Cardinal Raymond Burke: An arch-conservative American
We want to paint everything with an either liberal or conservative paint brush because it makes it easier to fit into our world views but it is lazy thinking.
In the Christian realm there are heresies
A heresy is a belief or doctrine that is considered to be false or erroneous by one or more Christian denominations, i.e. what is believed to be contrary to the teaching of Christianity.
In every generation since Christ, there have been many heresies. Most are just the same old same old repackaged.

What about all those thousands and thousands of simple illiterate peasants who made up so much of the Catholic Church over the centuries? They don't count. Anyone drawn to their piety and simplicity is out of luck, because all the potential converts will here from their conversion attempts is rationalism, intellectualism, and philosophy.
As Pascal said, the "gxd" of Catholicism is the "gxd" of the philosophers, not the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
I believe Vance is a "theistic evolutionist" as well. That's kinda the first requirement.
If the next pope is an “all paths lead to God” type, like Frank was; they’re doomed.
No, it will continue.
