Ah, thank you. So you admit that the whole cardinal election thing is a sham — a device of MEN, not of the Holy Spirit. And therefore I needn’t take anything that issues forth from the pie-hole below that silly hat as a proclamation of GOD on par with His Holy Scripture! Especially from the pie-hole of a commie pervert-enabler like francis.
The day is starting off right!
