[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

I think the problem is that where you clearly have cases of liberal modernists in charge of dioceses, Catholic universities, or seminaries, they assume the authority of the Catholic Church, all the administrative and bureaucratic machinery which is supposed to be used to promote the Catholic faith and the welfare of souls, but they use this authority and power to promote liberal modernism and worse.

I mean you have an absurd situation where you have liberal modernists invoking the "Spirit of Vatican II" and almost ultramontane notions of papal power (at the same time! go figure that!) to carry out a Spanish Inquisition-style purge of other Catholics.

I have seen no ultranmontane notion of papal power among the liberals. What I see them doing is swooping down on one thing,taking it out of context and then falling back on "the Pope,said it must be done". The few times we ever heard there was a Pope in the last 30 years was when 1)the Pope said priests should have time to rest and relax,2)when the Pope approved of altar girls,and there was one other thing but I can't remember what it was.

Our ex and his marxist and/or homosexual priests and the lay gaggle of geese that follow man not Jesus Christ were experts at expanding the loopholes their buddies made for them at Vat II. The fact that the radical element on the one end of the spectrum prefer to disparage and criticize those who are trying to save the Church rather than deal with the real enemy is a real tragedy. In the long run this will redound to destroy what they claim to love.
