It changed at Vatican II.

Actually I take that back. I worded that wrong. The Catholic Faith doesn’t change, but what is being purported to be the Catholic Faith since Vatican II is not the same thing as the Catholic Faith. Vatican II served to change the faith. And little by little the Modernists are doing what they can to continue to change it.

Catholics have been slowly boiling frogs since 1960. Bergoglio has turned up the heat.

Poor Kristin may think she is converting to the Catholic faith, but she is converting to a Modernist version of it. I know. I once converted to it too.

And, like you, she may change with time. Where she lives, she can easily find a conservative parish and a Latin Mass. Right in midtown, actually.

That’s true. She may still convert to the Traditional Catholic Faith.

Father Morris seems to hold a lot of wisdom.
I think I saw Fr.Morris in the news recently. Somebody threw lighter fluid on a stranger and lit them on fire. Fr. Morris literally gave that man the shirt off his back to smother the flames. I may have some details wrong, but i know he’s been involved recently in a public rescue.

A case of unintentional consequences. Google Kirsten Powers and Pope Francis, to see the influence he had on her decision.

Could you provide one example? I'm not sure I see what you are getting at unless her decision came about because Francis doesn't sit on a "golden throne".

In the last year or so, some people have been wildly appropriating while others have been equally wildly rebuking quotes from Pope Francis. “Who am I to judge?” is one of them that has come to mean very different things to different people, often clouded by ideological hopes and fears. However, listening to him on an almost daily basis is a much more interesting endeavor: His words bring light to places that have been impenetrable, so that truth — even about what the pope he is actually saying — might just be able to get at the business of healing.

Truth, Served Up with Kindness

It seems to me that the author is saying this not KP.
