In a few years time he will no longer be around, and his sycophants (Fernandez, Spadaro et al.) will fade into obscurity. The Roman Rite will survive since an increasing number of bishops support it (both in the US and in England).<br /><br />Yes, he was a disastrous choice, but he is by no means the first and will certainly not be the last. He can't change doctrine and his personal animadversions are of no consequence. A pity, since he is actually quite a good homilist.<br /><br />Pox (on everyone who disagrees with me)<br /><br />John Nolan John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-89750751596760865442017-01-27T17:34:28.801-05:002017-01-27T17:34:28.801-05:00President Trump is the most pro-life US president ...<br />President Trump is the most pro-life US president EVER. Vice President Pence Spoke to the Right to Life organization, a first. Many posting need to face facts. The Democratic Party is intrinsically evil and you, like Nancy Pelosi, are delusional. Nancy's latest is that the Dems are doing God's work and the Republican's are not. Engaging in projection, Nancy? Last i checked God and His Church are not promoting abortion and gay marriage. If her bishop had any guts he would excommunicate her.TJMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-55890273163950568962017-01-27T12:33:34.327-05:002017-01-27T12:33:34.327-05:00"The US-based Breitbart website, founded by S..."The US-based Breitbart website, founded by Steve Bannon, now Trump's strategic advisor, was also very influential in the presidential campaign and does not hide its hostility towards the pope. In an interview with the New York Times, its correspondent in Rome recently explained that his bosses strongly encouraged him to write about the pope’s opponents, notably Cardinal Burke, "a friend of Mr. Bannon" who himself "distrusts" Francis."<br /><br />Breitbart's man in Rome is a former priest, Thomas Williams, a Legionary of Christ (LC), who 1) defended his superior, Fr. Maciel, against child molestation, charges that were proven to be true, and 2) who fathered a child while he was a priest and was forced to resign.<br /><br />Bannon and Breitbart don't like the pope. <br /><br />It is probably through LC circles that the supporter of neo-Nazi and neo-fascists, Stephen Bannon, was invited to speak to a Vatican Human Dignity Institute (oh, the irony)in 2014.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-88840934883240893062017-01-27T09:29:47.617-05:002017-01-27T09:29:47.617-05:00In regard to the Knights of Malta and the Pope'...In regard to the Knights of Malta and the Pope's authority, the Pope is, according to the Roman Pontifical, 1596 A.D:<br /><br />"...the father of princes and kings, ruler of the world..."<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />Mark ThomasMark Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-27983970707189547602017-01-27T09:26:13.890-05:002017-01-27T09:26:13.890-05:00I am certain that traditional Catholics support Hi...I am certain that traditional Catholics support His Holiness Pope Francis as traditionalists wish to restore the crowning of Popes with the triple tiara.<br /><br />That means that "traditional" Catholics believe the following associated with the ceremony in question:<br /><br />"Receive the tiara adorned with the three crowns and know that you are the Father of princes and kings, the Sovereign of the world, and the Vicar on earth of our Savior Jesus Christ, to Whom is honor and glory, now and forever.
