Nice to hear from Tito, but I think we are dealing with something more serious than mere heresy here. A heretic is wrong about something, but is still a Christian. The men that Francis regularly appoints to important positions are in fact anti-Christian. I see little evidence that these men even believe in God.
Old Frank is doing everything he can to create the great apostasy.
I believe that there are 5 elements that must be met prior to Jesus’ second coming. The Gospel will have reached to all corners of the world.
The Great Apostasy. The anti-christ will be revealed…to name just three.
A heartbreaking moment is when one abandons The Holy Catholic Church for a substitute church which is in error.
This is happening in our diocese.
Frank and beans is easily upsetting good Catholics that are taking the bait.
Leaving the Church Christ founded.
Wrong.
A remnant Church will prevail. HOLD FAST and keep fishing.
Remember..wherever sin abounds GRACE abounds even greater.
poor paraphrasing.
These placements by da’ pope are, unintentionally, hastening thy kingdom come thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven.
As best we can we try to do His Holy will in our lives.
We try to bring or advance, His Kingdom now into the hearts of our neighbors.
A great and terrible day approaches. At our last breath, yes, but one which Christendom has awaited. A second coming.
Such a pope does not invalidate Christ, just as such a president does not invalidate the republic. Our critics would show an abusive father as proof that the family is invalid. Sadly, such truths are not obvious to many of our neighbors. We must live lives that make these truths “self-evident.”
Yeah, not going to be a picnic, but we weren’t promised a picnic.
Saw this post over at Rorate Caeli, reflecting on the future of the institutional Church after the kidney stone is finally passed, in light of PF’s and his minions’ frequent claims that their “reforms” will be “irreversible.” I found the author’s discussion to be most interesting and intelligent.

If the Bishops can complain about other Bishops and priests and get them expelled, albeit probably against canon law, does that mean the faithful and priests and Bishops can come together and expel PF? Asking for a friend 🐸
MrsOpey, deposing a Pope is, unsurprisingly, a complex issue with many angles. As good a short summary as I’ve seen is this five-year-old post by Eric Sammons at OnePeterFive.
As I understand it, the short answer (or “TL/DR” in today’s social media jargon) is, if enough bishops and cardinals got together and decided to replace Pope A and then the cardinals elected New Pope B, it would be canonically valid, but we would have a schism, with an antipope, if Pope A refuses to accept his removal. An even bigger mess than we have now, I would say.
Forgot the link. Sorry.
