Notice the Vatican Wall remains in place—no “refugees” allowed.

They think we don’t notice.

We do notice.

Remember the College of Cardinals elects the pope.

When you get a terrible pope, it’s only because a majority of all Cardinals were led to that terrible option.

What force guides such choices?

It was plain as day that Pope Marxist was clearing out the faithful and loading the church hierarchy with apostates. Of course the next pope will be a younger, more hardened Marxist.

If only the catho,ic church had enough bishops who had enough courage to expose the Marxism and anti-god agenda of the pope. (Ie his proclivity for protecting lgbtq ideology, and pushing the blatant lie of man caused climate change, ie nature worship)

Yikes

When Christ said the whole lump would be leavened, it meant the whole lump.

And that whole lump is about 2,000 years old..

The entire area of the world was ROME. All Rome and that was aLL.

The Holy Family fled one part of Rome for another part of Rome.

In its history, The Church has had an astonishingly high number of terrible popes. So much so that it is enough to call its validity into question. IF this pope is able to circumvent things to get a younger & more radical version installed, it should be the final straw.

God allows us to face the consequences of our bad choices. There have been good kings and bad king in the Old Testament, and good kings with flaws. God guided Israel through them all.

There have been good popes and bad popes, and good popes with flaws. God will guide us through this as well. Keep praying.

True Catholics should have faith that a higher force can correct the Cardinals pre-programmed false beliefs to vote for someone whom truly embraces the faith, or that such force turns the heart the heart of the one elected as well as it turned Trump’s head. Even well laid plans of badly motivated people do not always succeed. Believe in miracles; pray for them!

Is there no recourse to this? Isn’t there a traditionalist camp?

A blatant lie...which he used to convince Australia to import hundreds of thousands of - NOT Christians - but Muslims.

So, I guess Kamala hasn’t accepted the far-left “media’s” offer for the job yet.
