I’m not about to ditch the Catholic Church because of one bad Pope, any more than I’d ditch America for one bad President (or more). We’ve had them before, and the Church survives, as I hope America will. But we do need to Make Catholicism Great Again, too.
Yes, we’ve had bad popes before, but not sure we’ve had one with this much audacity, that he thinks he is wiser than 2,000 years of history. I’m not even convinced he is the legitimate pope. Yes, things do change but as my wise grandfather often said, “Everything changes except human nature.” That does not change, and there have always been foolish people who think they are wise. Pope John Paul II and Benedict were wise man. This man, not so much.
