Supposedly, the reason that his funeral was scheduled so quickly was to prevent states or even bishops from putting together delegations and getting there in time.
Francis is a petty, spiteful little man.
What would you expect? Just normal behavior for a Marxist.
What a huge missed opportunity for throngs of weary Catholics to gather publicly.
I love Benedict’s take on the simpletons’ desire for a New World Order:
“An oversimplification that does not take into account reality”
“Francis is a petty, spiteful little man.”
Indeed. Bergoglio is envious of Ratzinger’s holiness and popularity among the faithful.
To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, I tremble for Bergolio when I reflect that God is just.
Whatever the reason for this quickly scheduled funeral Mass, Francis didn't even allow for the Novemdiales or nine day mourning period for a Pope.
