"Pelosi, Kerry and Kennedy .... They KNOW the church will say NOTHING"

You are right. I think is is becoming very clear this Pope is losing moral authority. I'm not saying that is as it should be, but just a point of fact.

He has lost control over Traditional Catholics and will not likely see a reconciliation in his lifetime. The feminist and the homosexual lobby have never liked him now the average churchgoing catholic is questioning his actions.

Since his ill health may linger for years and he seems to have no intention of fixing things, we will see more trouble ahead. Lord what will you send us in the next pope.

I'd wager some major coin that the next Pope will cut the SSPX loose and give it some unconditional ultimatums, if it wishes to reconcile.

Otherwise, adios.
