“Yesterday I asked him whether Our Lord had more than one nature. He said: ‘Just as many as you say, Father.’ Then again I asked him: ‘Supposing the Pope looked up and saw a cloud and said ‘It’s going to rain’, would that be bound to happen?’ ‘Oh, yes, Father.’ ‘But supposing it didn’t?’ He thought a moment and said, “I suppose it would be sort of raining spiritually, only we were too sinful to see it.’”
Rex Mottram on Papal Infallibilty
Predictable:
In an unscripted outburst, the president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference has expressed his frustration at mounting criticism of Pope Francis among Catholics, suggesting that those who do not appreciate his style of teaching and government should embrace Protestantism.
Speaking at an annual meeting with media in Perugia, on January 25, Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti said: “Criticism is fine, but this destructivism, no. If someone doesn’t like this Pope let him say so, because he’s free to choose other paths.”
“There are too many people talking about the Pope,” the cardinal told journalists, in comments reflecting his perception of a growing disaffectedness among Catholics with the current pontificate.
Go here to read the rest. The Cardinal is laboring under a misapprehension. Heretics leave the Catholic Church. The orthodox stay and fight for the Faith. Catholicism has never consisted of saying “Yes Sir!” to the latest Pope. Francis sycophants are living out the worst caricatures of the Faith devised by the enemies of the Faith.
“Pope” Francis is causing great confusion among Catholics because of his many heresies.. The sooner he is replaced with an orthodox Pope the better.
So St. Catherine of Sienna & St. Peter Damian should have left the Church & become Protestants (well before Luther’s revolt) because they confronted Pope Pope Gregory XI & Pope Leo IX respectively?
Note that the good cardinal does not mention the specific matters about which the Faithful are criticizing the Pope.
For those who don’t recognize the quote– the speaker is supposed to be an obvious idiot.
Yes, I have had folks offer similar thoughts in all seriousness….
Not an idiot per re, just a conniver willing to say whatever he thinks he needs to say to achieve his ends.
The “we have always been at war with Eastasia” mentality of too many Catholics when it comes to the papal office is a particularly nasty mental tumor.
Especially given that the pontiff is starting so many processes to turn Catholicism into Anglicanism.

In the meantime, the tax-bloated Temple of the Huns is going to kick this process into overdrive.

You know, I was just about to disagree with you again, but then I remembered the strange and curious career of Joe Biden. So I guess that makes you right.
Rather those who follow the ‘francis church’ are, in fact, the protestants who protest against the age old teachings of Christ and HIS Church.
