Go here to read the rest. In any organization respect is a two way street. The head of an organization may have all the power in the world but he cannot mandate respect from members of the organization. Respect is earned by deeds. If the head of an organization demonstrates by his deeds that he does not respect some or all of the members of the organization, he should not be surprised when they show a lack of respect for him. This is precisely why Christ said:
[11] He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant. [12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Matthew 23: 11-12
That is why one of proudest titles of the Pope has always been: the slave of the slaves of Christ.
Any organization in which lack of respect for those in authority becomes an issue is an organization, at least temporarily, in trouble. For too many Catholics what the Pope is doing to the Church is a process of the Left described by Iowahawk:
1. Identify a respected institution. 2. kill it. 3. gut it. 4. wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.
“In the world of US civil law, there is case law which says that ‘an unintelligible text is inoperative.’ In other words, if you can’t make head or tail of what a law means, you can’t possibly follow it, and shouldn’t be faulted for failing to do so. Unfortunately, in the world of canon law such a legal principle has never been explicitly stated, presumably because it was not needed—until now.
It is simply inconceivable that this document, which affects so many Catholics around the world, was drafted and then reviewed/edited by genuine experts in church history and liturgy. On the contrary, Tc gives the distinct impression that it was composed by only a single individual who (to be perfectly frank) didn’t know what he was writing about, and didn’t bother even to check the internet to make sure he got the historical facts straight—and then failed to seek the comments/input of officials in the appropriate Vatican offices (in this case the Congregation for Divine Worship, as well as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, particularly its section comprising the former Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei). In short, it looks to be the work of someone writing in a hurry, someone who isn’t accustomed to writing with precision. We can only wonder what the history of this document really is.”

Archbishop Cordileone is a hired hand, a poser. He has not spoken to Pelosi much less taken any action regarding her public actions nor has he done anything to restrict the homosexuality orientated and promoting parishes and clergy. His statements are worthless.
We live in a world where Roman-rite clergy do nothing well. The congregation’s books are balanced and the building isn’t falling down, but otherwise, they do nothing well. The bishops are plain awful. They want respect, the answer is no.
Worse news! The chronic ammo shortage could get a lot worse.
Change My Mind. .
Papa Foxtrot simply is the tip of the iceberg.
Respect is earned. Like mortal sin, one infraction cancels out 99,999 responsible acts.
PF is batting zero.
Through 60 years [I don’t count the first 11] of real-life experience, I have come to the conclusion that any RC cleric above the rank of my parish priests [who have been completely vetted] is guilty until I prove him not.
At the moment. I cannot think of one that is not guilty. It’s like looking for ice water in Hell.
Go onto Archbishop Cordileone’s Twitter page and let him know what you think:

Bombard his Twitter page. Don’t just take this crap.
Chinese Catholics that will not abide by the CCP take over of the Holy Catholic Church. The underground Church. They, the lay faithful, have my undying respect.
