“There is, in the tradition of the Church, the practice of correction of the Roman Pontiff. It is something that is clearly quite rare.”
Just let that sink in for a minute. Then go back and read my original post. I didn’t even use the word “politics”
But for those that keep saying there are no politics in the Catholic Church...are you the same ones that say they didn’t POLITICALLY cover up the Sexual Abuse..because there are some of those on this site that claim that.

Right, you said...."I can't follow all this technical stuff..."........LOL!
But for those that keep saying there are no politics in the Catholic Church...
1) What is "politics"?
2) Is defense of the faith "politics"?
3) Was Athanasius' fight against the Arian heresy "politics"?
Sure there is politics in the Church. There was politics when James and John asked our Lord that one of them would sit on his right and the other on his left. There is politics in every human organization, even in your church. But not everything is political. The Church’s defense of Catholic doctrine is not political. It is driven by sincerely held religious beliefs. Just as sincere as the religious beliefs that you hold. To deny this and posit that it is all politics is ugly rash judgment.
