He’s married gays, used invalid baptisms (thus depriving the baptized of the ordinary means of salvation), and incorporated pagan gods into the mass.

You’d think from this write-up he just used the “wretch” phrase from Amazing grace, wouldn’t you?

(If you don’t know what I’m referring to, Catholics use a slight re-write of “amazing grace” because “a wretch like me” has been inferred to contradict the doctrine of prevening grace in favor of the Calvinist doctrine of utter depravity. Hence, “saved a wretch like me” is changed to “saved and set me free.”)

Thanks for the explanation. I'm a nominal Baptist (that is, I don't go to church much), so that one would have whizzed right over my head.
