Do we not believe that the Holy Spirit directs the Church in the Popes selection/election?

It appears that either the Holy Spirit has suspended His guidance or the bishops refuse to listen (or maybe the Holy Spirit has suspended because He knows the bishops would not listen).

In any event it does not mean the end of the Church or that the 'gates of hell' have prevailed against the Church. Just means that the End Times are here, and each of us as Catholics should stick to what we were taught in our youth, if we are over 55 or so. If under 55, seek out old teachings and liturgy.

The True Church will prevail in the end even if it is sustained by only a small number of faithful Catholic laity and clergy.

"In 1960 it will become clearer".

I am 50, I know what you mean, I think. But there are many on here that beat me up. It's not my fault I only remember post Vat II. Get off my back! :)

I love the smells and the bells and old musty cathedrals. Wish we would go back. But I don't remember those days. Seems a lot of America died in the 60's. I was born in 1963. Just living with the fallout. Thanks!
