I get a notice the article not available, and wonder if it was pulled due to knives coming out, or just a glitch.
Cardinal Burke:
"“I have never, in anything I’ve said, shown disrespect to the papal office..."I know about all these depictions. People call me 'the enemy of the pope' and so forth...would like to construe my relationship with the Holy Father as some kind of ongoing hostility...this is simply not the case."

Cardinal Pell:
"Francis said he’s a loyal son of the Church, and his record shows that.
"He’s very, very concerned for the day-to-day life of the people, and for those who are suffering, those not well off and those in difficult situations.
"He’s a completely faithful exponent of Christ’s teaching and the Church’s tradition.
"He’s a very good man! He’s a man who practices what he preaches in terms of simplicity and poverty, and has done so for very many years."
Pax.

Cardinal Sarah:
"The truth is that the church is represented on earth by the vicar of Christ, that is by the pope. And whoever is against the pope is, ipso facto, outside the church."
"Those who place me in opposition to the Holy Father cannot present a single word of mine, a single phrase or a single attitude of mine to support their absurd – and I would say, diabolical – affirmations."
"I would add that every pope is right for his time. Providence looks after us very well, you know."

Cardinal Sarah:
"...Pope Francis...openly and vigorously defends Church teaching on contraception, abortion, homosexuality, reproductive technologies, the education of children and much more."
Pax.

Look ma! It's Mister Hagiographer, disguised as Mister Plagarism aka Mister Quote Machine, Mister Take Up Maximum Blogpage With Blank Spaces Forcing Maximum Tiresome Scrolling To Get Past His Posts Like a Log Jam Making Other Posts Near Invisible In The White Noise Of The Bloghog, but who nevah nevah recalls a single critical quote by the exact same cited people.
Meaningless drivel from the MT Suit. No one is buying your bilge. You still owe us your explanation of how Frances disciplined the clerics involved in a cocaine fueled gay sex orgy at the Vatican.
2 thumbs up!
In MT mind, Card. Pell never wrote the Demos memo.
Also, apparently, the pope is God's "mouthpiece." Anti-Catholics couldn't do a better job of caricaturizing Catholic belief on the papacy.

Bob. Bob. Bob. Please exercise extreme caution when attempting to scroll past just one of my posts. We are talking about a Herculean task...a task that requires monumental energy expenditure.
Bob, pace yourself. Take anywhere from 11 to 17 years to scroll past one of my posts. Otherwise, your next stop will be the emergency room.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has just concluded a study entitled "The amount of energy expended to scroll past a Mark Thomas post."
I quote:
"The amount of energy required to scroll past a Mark Thomas post is 93 times greater than the amount of human energy spent to construct the Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, Great Wall of China, and Hoover Dam. combined."
Bob, at the very least, please, please, please heed the following: The next that you attempt to scroll past one of my posts, please have a defibrillator handy.
:-)

Bob, may you and your family be blessed with peace and good health.
Thank you.

MT,
In this case, even the little bit of energy and time expended in the scroll is an unnecessary waste.

Frankly, I see your space filling quote fests with huge take-up of space with nothing but empty space between empty comments as burning site data and making the comment section a serious chore for folk wanting to read actual commentary, and a subtle and serious form of sabotage by doing so, as caaual viewers are NOT going to waste the time during a visit in trying to spot small legitimate comments among all the chaff and white noise with your spacing imitating separate posts.
Furthermore, I think Father McDonald should insist that you cease stretching your mostly empty posts into maximum amount of space with minimal content, as it does harm viewership and participation. I have zero doubt this sabotage runs off participants, and it has pretty much donethe same to me, knowing I must wade through your drivel to try to spot legitimate comments by the few who remain.
