We can only hope he resigns.. He is an embarrassment

My respects to de Mattei for pointing out the immunity to logic, if not the cynicism, of these “Conciliar Church” (in Cardinal Benelli’s words) popes. It is wishful thinking to expect them to apply to themselves the logic of the laws they impose on their subordinates.

Bergoglo has done nothing but praise the deceased communist atheist dictator, Fidel Castro. Castro did not relinquish his official position as Maximo Lider until he was 82 years old. He only did so because of his failing health and he then appointed his brother as the new Lider.
I see little difference between Bergoglio and Castro, politically and otherwise.

He will use tradition when it suits him I'm sure. This is what Rome does best!

I don’t think this works as well now, as it did in the past.

The Catholic Church, founded by Jesus, will survive and thrive.Like those seven CATHOLIC churches that John wrote about that the angel called out?

Then there are those societies where, for example, abortion is legal and moral. There is NOWEHERE that it is MORAL!

Oh, it does work. The proof that it does is the fact that the followers are so easily offended by facts. And since they’ve been given sanctuary from facts, by citing oppression by hatred (we know is untrue), they’ve become modern day Tertullus.
