Mr. Bergoglio's quite the communist. From "Ninotchka", there's a line on the [Soviet] mass trials: "We'll have fewer but better Russians".
In this papacy, it's "Fewer but dumber sheeple".

Yes, very dumb. Too many can’t see that he is more interested in social engineering than saving souls.

I had a discussion with my pastor about this pope. He reminded me that the Church has had bad popes before. The Church has survived the bad ones. We must wait and pray for him.
Personally, I tried to leave the Church once because of a pastor who was real full of himself ( and didn’t like kids, to boot!). No other faith was unwavering on the TRUTH like the Catholic faith. This is no other for me.
Peace

I no longer attend and I feel no guilt at all.
In fact, here in San Diego, the Bishop actively endorses and supports “sanctuary everything for illegals,” so the last damn place I want to be is in Church.

An average of 39 percent of U.S. Catholics attended church weekly during the heart of the Francis papacy, from 2014 to 2017, Gallup found in a survey released April 9, which represents a significant drop from the 45 percent of Catholics who attended weekly Mass from 2005 to 2008 . . .. From 45 down to 39 is a drop of more than 13% . . . in only nine years. Wow!

Thanks for the ping, lightman. I just realized --- I mean, how dense I must be, but just realized
today -- that this endless round of "synods" and "youth meetings" and so forth, convened by the Francis machine, are in fact using the
Delphi Technique to conjure the appearance that the Church is "getting input from the faithful" and following the
Sensus Fidelium when in fact it is enthralled by the
Spiritus Mundi. OK, I'm not totally stupid. I've been aware since, say, 2014 that there was blatant sleight-of-hand and fakery going on in the Synods. But it's just today that I remembered that there's a many-decades-old small-group-psychology technique for doing that, called the Delphi Technique, which is what the Francis machine has been following to the letter.
I recommend everybody google keywords
Delphi Technique Manipulate
and get up to speed on what's happening here.
I'm kicking myself for not realizing this before.
Lord Jesus, rescue your Bride.

In fact, here in San Diego, the Bishop actively endorses and supports sanctuary everything for illegals, so the last damn place I want to be is in Church. Furthermore, if the Church openly advocates policies that will require increased government spending to accommodate, then the Church should be taxed as a political organization.

I am not leaving the Church. Frankie will leave before I do.
He is like a whirlwind that eventually stops.
We just need to be prepared for the damage.

The Boy Scouts used the Delphi Technique to manipulate the local troops into appearing to favor homosexuality in 2013. They held a whole round of meetings and focus groups. The one I attended evidenced just these techniques.

Being a Germanic former Lutheran I prefer the epithet Zeitgeist ("the spirit of the age") but irrespective of language or label the evil is the same.

The parishioners who understand Who the Eucharist IS [daily Mass numbers have either stayed the same or increased over the years], are not about to budge one iota. Why would anyone in-the-know walk away from the Blessed Sacrament?
