THE LEO EFFECT: HIGH PAPAL PROTOCOLS RESTORED!



Please note the formal, majestic escort this head of state receives as he enters the Apostolic Palace to meet the pope in mozzetta and papal stole.

I think this kind of fabulous papal escort was crushed under Pope Francis, but I am not certain.

So much pretending....

Fr. Allan J. McDonald said...

Let the anti Leo tirades begin!

Yeah, there's no better way to restore a collapsing building than to slap on a fresh coat of paint!

Jerome Merwick said...

Yup.

I'm far from anti-Leo, but, I'm also a bit "so what?".

Fr. David Evans said...

Slowly but surely, beginning with restoring dignity and respect to the Office a person holds

Father, you cheerlead for Pope Leo XIV. You have portrayed him as the greatest, most wonderfullest Pope evahhhhhh!

I state the above with the greatest respect for you.

I cheerlead as well for Pope Leo XIV. I have portrayed him as the greatest, most wonderfullest Pope evahhhhhh!

Why not?

I have every reason to believe that he is a holy man. In addition, Holy Mother Church exhorts us to love and obey Pope Leo XIV.

Sorry, I hit "publish" too early. To continue...

We know that Pope Leo XIV has been blessed with never-failing faith...with supernatural wisdom...Jesus Christ speaks through His Holiness.

We have also Pope Benedict XVI's holy, stellar, confident example of having granted his "unconditional reverence and obedience" to his then-unknown successor, Pope Francis (requiescat in pace).

In light of all of the above, why not cheerlead for Pope Leo XIV?

At the very least, I find that, speaking spiritually, more productive and satisfying than joining the "anti Leo tirades" chorus.

Pax.

If "restoring dignity and respect to the office" of the papacy is accomplished by pretending that the office-holder is a secular potentate, then we are sunk. if "formal" "majestic" and "fabulous" are the hallmarks of papal hospitality, we are on the wrong path.

Fr. Allan J. McDonald said...

From anti Leo tirade to Leo shaming. Shameless democrat party method..

Mark Thomas said...

Speaking of His Holiness...and with Father McDonald's permission...

Rich Raho yesterday had posted the following to X:

@RichRaho

"Every pontificate has a defining moment, and Leo’s “moonlight speech” tonight was one of them.

"Unscripted and energized by thousands of young people in the Square, Leo let his guard down, and the crowd roared and embraced him."

=======

I do not have the slightest doubt that Pope Leo XIV is a gift...a monumental gift to us from God! A tremendous gift from God!

Our communion with Pope Leo XIV will ensure that we hold the True Faith.

Pope Benedict XVI demonstrated the 100 percent sure and certain way to remain in communion with Pope Leo XIV. That is, to grant unto Pope Leo XIV our unconditional respect and obedience.

There were folks here, as well as elsewhere, who pleased Satan via their refusal to have granted reverence and obedience unto Pope Francis (requiescat in pace).

I pray that said folks do not in similar fashion shake their fists, if you will, at Pope Leo XIV.

Pax.

Do you think this will bother the American bishops, at all?

Father, I have a long history of disagreement with Fr. Kavanaugh, but he DOES have a point. Instead of attacking him or attempting to define his argument, why don't you address it?
