His election was a major mistake, but it was also highly manipulated and there was fraud involved (an extra ballot that prevented the election of an orthodox successor). But at the same time, his papacy has revealed the enemies of the Faith, who were clearly out there awaiting their moment, and since he has promoted them, we know who they are.
BXVI said the Church might be a lot smaller and he was right. The current Pope, Leonardo Boff, and the LCWR (big integral ecology freaks) might get to keep the Vatican and all of the official Church, but it won’t last. And the Lord will send somebody completely unexpected to gather us together and step into the shoes.
I am Catholic and a Knight, which requires me to support the Pope. I am actually supporting the Pope by not supporting his scientific conclusion in hopes of not embarrassing the Church. I don’t want him to be known in history as Pope Watermelon I, because his flock will have suffered as a result.
