As I said, a left of center clique of prelates inside the Vatican have obviously hijacked the Pope. I am an RC but I will say that the Pope has been an anomaly inside the Vatican where the inner circles are rife with the same sort of intellectual and spiritual corruption that afflicts all the European liberal elites. This vileness in not new and predates the Pope's reign.

It will get worse after he goes IMHO. He managed to stem the tide for a time but from what I can see there will be a sharp movement away from his positions once he has gone. The RC hierarchy is in a deep moral morass, there will be deeper failures and tragedies _ and even greater farces - before they come face to face with their immorality, and this will be true as well of most of the leadership in the Liberal West.

It may well be that the Pope is ill-informed of events and one really has to question the clarity of his intellect at this point. It is hard to believe that the Lion of Poland who stood up to the Soviets would have in his prime countenanced this sort of nonsense.

How about the one that kissed the Koran

This is a real shame, but perhaps necessary: "Judgment begins in the house of the Lord." It happened in the Evangelical denominations, then the Catholic, then the Episcopal Church.<

This seems the purification by fire that is going to drive those true to God directly to Him (the true Body of Christ) and away from any denomination that is no longer following the perfect will of God.
