I would strongly doubt that is what this pope wants, and it certainly is not what Jesus wants. For all the prayers over the past thirty years for for vocations ( which are way down, unless you count the foreign imports) and of course if you close rather than open new parishes the number of converts will decrease and some of our people think that is great. It is those who literally demand “all must agree with me and the magisterium” who are the happy ones because “see, I told you they are disobedient and good riddance”. And these people think they are the “good catholics” - even have names for those they disagree with — “CINO”. Only us few are the good guys. Sick, Sick, Sick !!!!!

You make a good point. If the demand were to be changed to "all must agree with the magisterium" and sorrow were expressed at the waywardness of, and prayers offered for, those who do not agree, would the diagnosis ("Sick!") and prognosis improve?

Actually, although you doubt it, The Pope wants it.
