Why? He has renewed the Catholic Church. People are flocking to Mass in droves. Goodness my church has had to add masses on Sundays. My sisters church is building a bigger Catholic School to keep up with the demand. The original school held 1200 students. They are building the new school to keep 3000 students and they hope that will be enough. It is crazy out there for Catholic Churches trying to keep up with the incredible demand.
I most sincerely doubt this statement.
Along with millions of others I remain a traditional Roman Catholic who believes that the present Church operated from the Vatican is a new religion begat as a result of Vatican II. The current organization that passes itself off as the Roman Catholic Church operates much like McDonald's world headquarters and its franchises.
The liturgy and 'tenets' of this new religion resemble nothing of the Church that served Christians for over a thousand years.
In respect to the new Argentinian pope, he will do nothing to change the excesses of those popes that succeeded Pius XII. His pronouncements have been pure Marxist revolutionary theology with a large helping of the absurd added.
