Thanks for the insight to an existing process.

Why am I *not* surprised?
If true, and I have serious reservations when I read things like this, but if true the "modernists" sure got what they wanted via Francis didn't they?
It certainly explains Francis' political alignment with Barack Obama while here in the US and it damn' sure explains why Francis hasn't spoken one word about Christian persecution (read that: beheadding) in the Middle East while here either.
As a former Catholic, I really liked Benedict XVI. I'd hoped he'd correct the course the Church was heading, as we know that didn't happen. I agree with you that he was forced out. I can't think of a single, plausible alternative explanation to the contrary.
Conspiracy theorists can have a field day about the forces at play, but the old predictions that the antiCHRIST would be a Pope don't seem nearly as far-fetched as they once did.
Agree again. With each passing day, I become more convinced that we are in fact living in the end times.
Everything that was good, holy and pure has been destroyed or watered down to the point of not being recognizable, while everything that's sinful and evil has been pronounced "good" and the norm.
I'm 53 and sometimes I'm just stunned at how far this country has morally fallen and how fast it's happened.
