This was expected, as his term is up end-of-day tomorrow. Be very scared of who Francis will choose to replace him.

Viva la revolucion!

So, who gets the gig?
Kasper? Daneels? Maradiaga? Kung? Fr James Martin SJ?

Scratch a Jesuit, find a Nazi.

The Catholic Church needs a Cardinal Trump.

What is the name of Bugnini is going on here?!?!

[BlessedBeGod]

According to Edward Pentin at the National Catholic Register, the likely candidates are:

Archbishop Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer S.J., Secretary to the CDF, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna, and Archbishop Bruno Forte of Chieti-Vasto.

Forte is the one who wrote the infamous paragraph in Amoris Laetitia and bragged that Francis told him to write it as ambiguously as possible.

Great. Now can the Pope dismiss Special Counsel Mueller?

[marshmallow]

Muller has been a non-player in the Amoris laetitia furore and has done little of what a prefect of the CDF should have done. He's on record as saying that AL is in perfect conformity with the writings of previous popes and that there's nothing to see here, folks. He should have been the author of the dubia and he should have been at the forefront of this fight.

I hope he's learned that if one is going to get shafted, one might as well get it for doing one's job and doing the right thing, rather than fence-sitting and prevaricating.

“Nails are removed by applying pressure to the top,” the pope said, “or, you set them aside to rest when the age of retirement arrives.”

Rather than pulling a nail, Pope Francis finds another tool

[NobleFree]

Cardinal Müller is one of the cardinals who sought to interpret Amoris Laetitia along the lines of a hermeneutic of continuity with Church Tradition. This was enough to put him among the critics of the new course imposed by Pope Bergoglio.

Bergoglio is a cowardly worm - putting out an ambiguous encyclical, and pushing the desired anti-Tradition interpretation by praising others who so interpret it and bullying others for pro-Tradition interpretation.

Heavenly Father, by inflicting this pope on us, what are You urging us to do (or stop doing)?

Henry VIII was on to something.
