Go here to read the article. The approach to governing the Church of Francis and his successor reminds me of the approach to secular government of one of Napoleon’s Marshals. Upon arriving in a foreign conquered city he announced to the populace that they were free now, but that they shouldn’t let it go to their heads. If they made one move without his permission, he would have them shot.

Pope Bob will prove worse than his predecessor because unlike his predecessor, he’s very smart and he can keep his anger under control. Remember: this is the man who marched with Italian communists in the 1980s against his own country, so don’t be surprised that he acts like a communist.

Many believers forget one very real element of God’s Holy Church.
He, not the wicked actors, is in control.
Things are playing out not as we wish them to be but as they are. The valuable vantage point isn’t from the valley but its from on High.

Well, some have more influences upon others than most so they are to use them accordingly.
All are to pray.
And the future priests and religious?
Ah…. that’s the ray of heavenly light that will help to dissolve the stain on Our Mother’s Mantle.
Bad actors come and go……but the play continues until the curtain drops.
Rejoice!
Jesus conquered the world!
