The Pontiff has never fired a single bad bishop--yet there is ample evidence these men are networked. The Pope has not even shown an interest in questioning how such corrupt and apostate bishops were chosen in the first place. He does not even seem much concerned about their lack of faith. Recently he awarded the red hat, for instance, to a man of very questionable orthodoxy. Neither has he reformed the seminaries, some of which are still overwhelmingly lavender. He has shown not the slightest concern about remedying the almost universal crisis in catechesis. He does nothing, for instance, to shore up the precipitous decline of Catholic belief in major dogmas--polls have shown as many as 75% of all Catholics no longer believe in the Real Presence and the Resurrection. Yet the source for this decline--the Novus Ordo Mass--remains unreformed after thirty years of failure. This pontificate has focused on one thing only: ecumenical dialogue with other religions. Nothing other than this seems to have occupied his attention the past twenty-five years. Yet the scandals have been washing over the Church all around the globe for more than two decades.

Scandals have been washing over the Church for nearly two millenia.

It would be reasonable to suggest that the constant pope-bashing contained in your posts reveals a certain agenda of resentment over the fact that JP II ecclesiastically whacked Marcel and the Disobedience Company of SSPX.

For the record, I agree that JP I was probably murdered but I think the evidence suggests that the perp was someone on the household staff inherited from Paul VI. JP I made a point of retaining Paul VI's Curial appointees for the time being and All of his household staff. While the Vatican, as per usual, denied all suggestions of murder (just as it would deny all suggestions of soviet involvement in the attempted assassination of JP II), that claim is belied by the fact that JP II, immediately upon arrival at the Papal Palace, fired every member of the household staff on the transparent excuse that he needed a Polish-speaking staff. JP II was then and is now fluent in 11 languages including Italian.

We need another Malachi Martin to credibly explain these things without the agenda of thee or me.
