I am not quite sure that I understand the context of your comment that BVXI is no JPII. I think perhaps that each one was right for his time. JPII fought against the Soviets and BVXI is trying to implement the true intent of Second Vatican Council. Frankly, I think BVXI has the harder task of exhausting Satan’s smoke from the sacristy.
Considering the Vatican’s status as a City-State . . .
The Biblical prophecy about every nation being under the Anti-Christ’s power . . . could well indicate that satan’s smoke will be getting thicker instead of being removed.
A sad prospect though GOD WILL STILL HAVE HIS PEOPLE UNDER HIS CARE SOMEHOW(S), SOMEWHERE(S).
