Go here to read the story. Faithful Catholics are being denied the Traditional Mass because Francis hates, that is not too strong a term, young priests who are orthodox Catholics. This ties in with his hatred of conservatives in general. Heckuva job Conclave of 2013, heckuva job.
The Popesplainers and the Where Peter Is crowd will simply assert Francis’ authority and not actually address any of the issues at hand; they have become insufferably shrill especially over the past 4-5 years, not unlike the harridans at Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing.
The mental imbalance is a projection upon the truly balanced HOLY priests who do God’s work, not their own, as some clergy in white do.
The devil loves to play individuals like a fiddle.
Pope francis is first string, center stage, and he doesn’t even know it.
How cruel he is. Is the Pope Catholic?
I have been fighting with this answer since 2013.
(Lightning strikes St. Peters dome.)
Boy. Did it ever.
I saw the several posts here about what the Pontiff said concerning devotees to the Latin Mass, both clergy and laity. So I decided to wear my Latin Mass t-shirt during today’s weight lifting routine. It says, “Fac Missam Latinam Rursus,” which means, “Make the Mass Latin Again.” This will be my motivation to go really heavy on shoulders and triceps. Yes, as a submarine sailor, I am proudly unbalanced mentally. You all know that. If I write anything further about that Maxist Peronist Caudillo, then Donald will have to censor me.
I prayed my 1st rosary for him, PF, that he gets the help he needs to return to the Faith.
“mental imbalance, emotional deviation, behavioral difficulties….. ”
Anyone who wants to celebrate Mass and not put on a “show” obviously has issues.
I read what he accuses others of is actually how he was reviewed by his Bishop one time. Seems the Bishop was right
Another octegenarian telling young priests to get with the times; in this case the 1970s.
Dear Lord, if you are letting this man wield his wrecking ball and subject the entire Church to his petty, childish prejudices for the purpose of making us appreciate a real Pope next time we actually get one, I think we’re there. Usquequo, Domine? (Latin for “Enough, already!)
***Usquequo, Domine? (Latin for “Enough, already!)*** 😬
An African Pope sure would be a breath of fresh air. Now that is HOPE.
I wonder if he met a mentality unbalanced TLM priest several decades ago and has been assuming they’re all like that ever since…
[…] Autobiography Sheds Light on Complex & Contradictory Mind of Successor of Peter – CHPopeWatch: Mentally Imbalanced – Donald R. McClarey, J.D., at The American CatholicFrancis’ 1970’s Ethos Includes Love […]
I have been told that this hatred of this pope goes back to his days as a bishop in Argentina (a place he has yet to return to)
So Francis is going “Cancer Ward” on his TLM priests? How more Soviet can you get?
MikeS and Madgalene – I often think that Pope Francis’s biggest problem is his provincialism. He thinks every religious movement, every government behaves like they do in South America. He sees fancy robes and assumes the priest wearing them doesn’t care about the people. He doesn’t notice the thousands of laymen seeking out the TLM, or assumes they don’t understand what the Church is.
God, by His omnipotent nature, as demonstrated in Scripture, can change reality by his very word. (Indeed, His Word is so potent as to be a second person of himself, equal in dignity.)
Our words, have power to deceive or inform, but cannot change actual reality.
I have asked each of my children how many times I would have to repeat a lie in order, through my words, make it true. The answer, of course, is that even if I spent the rest of my life repeating the same lie, it could not change what is true.
As such, no repeating of drivel by Francis can change anything that is actually true. Even commands given must be acted upon before they change reality.
In other words, no matter how many times Francis calls traditional priests unbalanced, it does not make it true. Perhaps he can change that through continued persecution, but not by the fiat of his word!
It is worth noting that the weasely statement is “could have mental imbalance” Speculation that can’t be characterized as a direct attack. See the examples below:
“Francis could have a very uncharitable attitude toward his subordinates.”
“Francis could have the most stunted theology of any recent pontiff.”
I’m sure several other purely grammatical examples of this technique come to mind 🙄
He thinks every religious movement, every government behaves like they do in South America. He sees fancy robes and assumes the priest wearing them doesn’t care about the people.

Is there some evidence that Francis give a rip about anyone but his bureaucratic cronies?
***He doesn’t notice the thousands of laymen seeking out the TLM, or assumes they don’t understand what the Church is.*** Pinky
Add to that the beauty of 14 altar boys in various ages serving at the Mass. The chances of them being open to the priesthood is far greater than a boy and a girl serving at the Ordo Mass.
I can’t explain it well, but having a girl serve along side a boy at a Mass takes the masculine demension away, imo. Also, the Altar society camaraderie, reinforces, or nurture’s the boy in being open to the Call.
To chloroform the TLM is to stunt the growth of the Church, hence, the Salvation of Souls.
Resign now, dear Pope, for the sake of souls.
@LQC
Where do I get my MMLA hat?
Or is in Latin only, FMLR?
Great shirt, btw.
😃
@Philip –> I got the t-shirt from Libertas Tees:
Fac Missam Latinam Rursus (Make the Mass Latin Again) Premium T-Shirt https://a.co/d/8TWGcio
In sola linqua Latina!
I never thought of ordering a ball cap. I just wanted something for the gym. People ask questions, and boy oh boy, are they ever surprised by the answers!
In Latin language only..
Got it.
Thank you for the link to the merch.
God bless you and keep at the healthy conditioning. You have come a very long way.
I’m under construction…physcially. Your stories have been a help for me. I’m fighting off some bad eating habits.
Peace.
Philip, God bless you. I got a great doctor and a wife who puts up with me; I am her purgatory. My only secret is ask God for the strength to do one more kilometer on the rower, one more mile on the sidewalk, one more repetition on the bench, and God will empower you. Let God steer and you do the rowing! And for anyone with an eating problem (i.e., bad eating habits, the story of my life), please go to https://oa.org/. Sorry if this isn’t relevant to the post, Donald. BTW, why doesn’t Pope Francis talk about real-world problems like that instead of focusing on banning the Latin Mass? People need real help, and for those battling obesity and eating disorders (like me), the sacredness, beauty, and tranquility of the Latin Mass can be a wonderful tonic and a useful tool in our toolkit.
“My only secret is ask God for the strength to do one more kilometer on the rower, one more mile on the sidewalk, one more repetition on the bench, and God will empower you.”
Amen, LQC. Before I had to stop most weight training because of my lower back problems, I often asked the Lord’s help getting those last couple of reps done, and it always worked. Let the nonbelievers claim it’s all in our minds, but we know better. Unfortunately, the same level of Divinum auxilium doesn’t seem to apply to my golf game. 😂
The old Soviet Union abused psychiatry by accusing their political opponents of having mental illness. The Pope’s statements are more of the same.
