Father Z looks at our ever predictable Pope:
In contrast to this, I read today in Italian at Nuova Bussola that Biden met with Francis today. Apparently Francis, who never hesitates to display his scowling ill-temper and displeasure, was all fluffy and smiles with Biden. You remember. It was all kissy and Caro syrup with the previously most aggressive pro-abortion POTUS, Obama, who persecuted the Little Sisters of the Poor. It was all Grumpy Cat with Pres. Trump. And its back to syrup with Biden, the most aggressive pro-abortion POTUS to date who is again persecuting the Little Sisters of the Poor. For his part, Biden mentioned that it was nice to be back in the Vatican… so we can suppose that he knew where he was.
Later, at the Palazzo Chigi, with the Prime Minister Mario Draghi, – NB – Biden said that Francis allegedly told him that he was a “good Catholic” that he should keep receiving Communion. We have no proof that Francis told Biden that, of course. Biden has always had a rather casual relationship with the truth. However, it sounds like something Francis might say to someone so very much on his wave-length. But we don’t know.
According to AP: “The Vatican spokesman declined to comment on Biden’s remarks about Communion, noting that the Vatican doesn’t comment on the pope’s private conversations beyond what is written in the official communique, which made no mention of the issue.”
Of course this will stir things up for faithful Catholic bishops trying to find the courage to apply the Church’s laws as they promised they would when they became bishops. And this in advance of the annual November meeting of the US Bishops in Baltimore.
The New catholic Red Guards will be quivering in paroxyms of ecstacy at the possibility of using something Biden alleges Francis to have said to beat certain bishops in the press. They are rather predicable.
Apparently in the ceremonial exchange of gifts, Biden gave Francis a chasuble made by Gammarelli in Rome (talk about “owls to Athens”) made in the 1930’s,. It seems that it was boosted from the Jesuit parish in Delaware where Biden receives Communion in contravention of can. 916. It had to be a Roman style vestment. I doubt we will see Francis use it anytime soon.
Go here to read the rest. Find the Star Trek reference.
Does Sleepy Joe even know that 1930’s era chasubles are never worn in the Novus Ordo rite any more? Never mind.
“Grumpy Cat:” That is really a good one for Pope Scowler I.
I recommend a Synod on Synodailty on Steroids soon, before the Bishops seek solace securing special sacraments supposedly supporting statesmen selling secrets to Socialist sociopaths while seventy percent of Catholics couldn’t give a rats potoot about the killing of the innocents.
-Just say’n
Biden speak….
It’s catching.
Grumpy Cat.
It’s fitting.
