Because everyone on this thread is aware that Paul VI gave the Church most of the rogues that high-jacked us. There is no reason to go over that yet again.
This thread is beyond that and looking for other common threads that exist Sun-tsu says it is of utmost importance to know your enemy. That is what we are working on.
I'm not disputing what you have to say, but to me the prime importance is what to do now that we have them.
It's true, I always thought Cardinal Bernardin was the king maker, but I suppose the Papal Nuncio would make a good partner, and I think that'show it really went. Bernardin proposed, and the nuncio rubber stamped it. But even knowing that does us no good. Te point is, they are here, and we must deal with them.
I beg to differ with you. From various sources:
