Pope Francis née Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who practices an ecclesiology tailored to the spirit of the times, could easily be mistaken as Joe Biden in a white cossack and skull cap. They share an imperious disposition that takes delight in overturning or diminishing the decrees of their predecessors, overregulate their administrations with orders and encyclicals, are vindictive in their treatment of ideological opponents, look unfavorably upon conservative American Catholics, believe their foundational documents are out of step with modern times, and are hell-bent on transforming their sovereignties.

As ideological bedfellows, Bergoglio has encouraged Joe Biden to continue taking Communion at Sunday Mass, despite his being a passionate advocate for infanticide and the capo di tutti capi for a global wave of human trafficking and child endangerment.

Mostly good piece, but contains at least one error... incorrectly identifying Ted McCarrick as an SJ. He was a diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of New York.

Other than that, the author seems to be spot-on.

Homosexuals dominate the Jesuit order. They are hateful of traditional Catholicism and biblical teachings.

Well, if he were a white cassock, the conflict would move over to the filioque and Platonism vs. Aristotelianism. That would be a bit of an upgrade.

I have been seeing this “née” pop up in conservative sites pop up lately. Very strange.
