Pope Francis made his priorities clear this week: After issuing an apostolic letter reiterating his crackdown on the use of the Church’s traditional liturgy, he entertained Speaker Pelosi at the Vatican.
His Holiness, who appears to be consolidating his legacy with new personnel and legal reforms as his health falters, met and blessed Mrs. Pelosi before Mass at St. Peter’s Wednesday.
Mrs. Pelosi, who is banned from communion at her home archdiocese at San Francisco for public support of abortion, received the sacrament from an assisting priest during Mass.
At issue is not Mrs. Pelosi’s bona fides as speaker of the House. The Constitution, in its most emphatic prohibition, forbids religious tests for any office or public trust under the United States. What is the issue in the news is the church.
It appears that Francis was using his blessing of Mrs. Pelosi as a message to the church in America, where it was perceived as an indirect vindication for liberals. Francis’s statement on the liturgy was intended as a rebuke of the church’s conservative bloc.
The apostolic letter Desiderio desideravi, issued Wednesday morning, justifies His Holiness’s action last year limiting the use of the traditional Latin Mass preferred by some conservatives.
Contradicting his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who liberalized the use of the traditional liturgy, Francis insisted the old Mass is incompatible with the reforms of the Second Vatican Council.
“We cannot go back to that ritual form which the Council fathers, cum Petro et sub Petro, felt the need to reform, approving, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and following their conscience as pastors, the principles from which was born the reform,” Francis wrote.

I’m going to her house when the carp hits the fan and I need ice cream.
the old “Is the Pope Catholic” joke, is nolonger a joke, and it’s damn sure not funny...
Except to Satan who can't stop laughing.
She’s in awe of him and he’s in awe of her. Mutual admiration society and for those who don’t study prophecy.....woman and beast uniting again. Religion and Government in the end times....and yes, she, Rome is the little horn.
This guy can’t meet the Lord
soon enough for me!
An apostate put in charge to tear down the Catholic faithful!
I became a non-practicing Catholic when I was forward deployed in the Navy in the early 1970s, for 40 years, then got back to it when I moved here (south-central Louisiana) 11 years ago. I accomplished what I wanted to with that, here, then got out again about five months ago. I still consider myself devout and in communion with God. Just not with the human intervention.
Before this guy was elected “Pope” there were a great many articles written about his total lack of Ecclisiastal knowledge and his Lack of Faithfulness to Christian Values. The articles were numerous.
He was not selected in spite of these known facts. He was elected BECAUSE of these known facts.
This man was elected by Homosexual Subversives within The Church to do Exactly what he is doing.
Well, I was non-practicing for 40 years, not in the Navy for 40 years.

According to the controversial Malochy Prophesy, Francis will be the last Pope.
The ImPopester is succeeding in destroying the moral authority of the Catholic church.
That was the mission he was installed for.
The Pope is a fraud.
Frankie the Fraud.
All the communion in the world will not save you...
Repent...
I was kind of thinking something more like Golden Girls meets Ghostbusters with Pelosi playing the Sigourney Weaver gatekeeper character... but you know, like she's ancient and stuff.
Pelosi and the Pope, one is about as bad as the other. Birds of a feather flock together.

The pope is the loyal servant to his master, Karl Marx.
Pelosi couldn’t have been more Pro-Abortion on the 24th when Dobbs was released, saying it wasn’t a “good morning”. And just 5 days later the Pope greets her warmly in public. What a scandal! Has he issued a statement on Dobbs yet?
When Benedict met with Pelosi it was a private meeting. No photos for propaganda purposes allowed. A subsequent press release said the Pope spoke with Pelosi for 15 minutes about “Life”.
For anyone interested, when Dobbs was released on Friday, June 24, it was the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Think the Lord in His Providence used the unknowing world to send a victory to his little ones who have prayed, sacrificed, and suffered for 50 years for an overturning of Roe on the feast of His Heart.
The Soros pope.
