“If the Holy Spirit deems it necessary, He will simply remove whatever or whoever the problem is”
What about the Borgia Popes.
“What about the Borgia Popes.”
What about them? The first one was a pretty good pope. The second was a lousy man, but he never once taught against Church teachings. The first was only pope for 3 years. The second for 11. So?
By the way, did you know that Alexander VI, the second Borgia pope, died while planning out major reforms?
John Julius Norwich, Absolute Monarchs, p. 268-269:
“As part of his proposed new reforms, Alexander now nominated a commission of six of the most pious cardinals, and less than two months later a draft Bull of Reformation had been prepared. The pope was banned from selling benefices and from transferring Church property to laypersons. As for the cardinals, who were to be drawn from all the nations, none should possess more than one bishopric; their households were limited to eighty people and thirty horses; they were banned from hunting, theaters, carnivals, and tournaments; and their funeral expenses were not to exceed 1,500 ducats. The lesser clergy were similarly reined in: they must refuse all bribes and put away their concubines.”
And then he died. The Holy Spirit does what He does. We just have to trust Him.
