It's All Francis' Fault
Free[ | 3/9/2016 | Charles O'Connell

Rorate Caeli postultes "Coincidence or Real Francis Effect? The Collapse of Vocations in Buenos Aires and All Argentina". A collapse of ordained ministerial, priestly vocations in Argentina, because Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio was head of the Argentinian Bishop's Conference.

Francis seems weak and ineffective. So glad to know that he was, in reality, so powerful. And so malevolent.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc (Latin: "after this, therefore because of this") is a logical fallacy (of the questionable cause variety) that states "Since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X." It is often shortened to simply post hoc fallacy. It is subtly different from the fallacy cum hoc ergo propter hoc ("with this, therefore because of this"), in which two things or events occur simultaneously or the chronological ordering is insignificant or unknown. Post hoc is a particularly tempting error because temporal sequence appears to be integral to causality. The fallacy lies in coming to a conclusion based solely on the order of events, rather than taking into account other factors that might rule out the connection.

The following is a simple example:

The rooster crows immediately before sunrise; therefore the rooster causes the sun to rise.

Well, the article is all well and good, but as far as Bergoglio is concerned, there will be calamity in the New Catholic Church until either the Second Coming, or a reversion to the Church as it existed prior to Vatican II.

The establishment of this new religion is so contrary to the wishes of Jesus Christ that it represents mutiny by lunatic humanists.

Or other factors that might reinforce the connection? Such as the performance of an organization vis a vis one of its major goals before and after a leader's term? That there is no causality proven because of the co-incidence does not mean that the possibility causality should be dismissed. Rather, it ought to be pursued.
