Definitely. I see prison ministry in their future. I suppose prisons have a geriatric wing? It’ll do them good.
Everything is tentative, but here are some nominees:
Papabile
Raymond Burke
Top Class
Charles Chaput, Philadelphia PA
James D. Conley, Lincoln, NE
David Kagan, Bismarck, ND
Robert Morlino, Madison, WI
Joseph Naumann, Kansas City, KS
Michael J. Sheridan, Colorado Springs, CO
Thomas J. Tobin, Providence, RI
Middle Class
Richard Stika, Knoxville, TN

Low Class
Blase Cupich, Chicago IL

Criminally Indictable Whaddya know?
Tentative — Theodore McCarrick
Tentative — Donald Weurl
Un-Papabile (Fake Catholic) - Francis Boondoggle of Rome
My list:
Pope
No one currently ordained is fit to be pope. The chair should sit empty for 40 - 100 years. The few bishops who are not deserving of hanging should scour the earth for a small number of older, widowed laymen who are renowned for holiness; orthodoxy; wisdom; prudence; and excellence in private life. These men should be ordained, consecrated bishops, and created cardinals-deacons. They will administer the day to day affairs of the Church, and punish heretics severely. All other clergy will report to them.
Top class:
None
Middle class:
None
Low class:
Lopes (personal ordinariate)
Burke
Sarah
Turkson
Chaput
Vigano
Morlino
Laicization, Excommunication, and Prison:
All others not liable to death
Death Penalty:
All active homos
cupich
mccarrick
bad tobin
farrell
mahoney
weakland
daneels
dude in Honduras
Orgy Dude in Italy
(probable) wuerl
(possible) bergoglio
others as their cases are evaluated
After a new generation or two of lower clergy are cleansed of the homo curse, the Cardinal-Deacon administrators can begin to appoint the most holy, most worthy men to the episcopacy. When there are sufficient number of these, the Cardinal-Deacons will call a conclave and elect a pope.
The new pope may not name more than 24 cardinals, and 16 of them must be older, widowed, holy, successful laymen.
Should a need for a Church Council arise, the cardinal deacons will elect a temporary president to head an imperfect council, decide the open question, dissolve the council. The council president will be automatically retired with honor and replaced.
It may wind up somewhat as you envision, of course, if ISIS decides to bomb Rome at the next conclave.
I know I'm the type of Catholic that simply has to beg for mercy.
What about Bishop Athanasius Schneider?
The website refers to U.S. bishops. Go search FaithfulBishops khazikstan.com.
I’m glad I’m not running the show, either. The blood of faithless bishops would run in the streets.
If the laity don’t repent, and thus God continues to afflict us with these wolves and hirelings, the first step will be that civil governments will step in.
It would be deserved, but the less kleptocratic governments of the west would push a homoagenda on us (and the current hierarchy would be only too happy to cooperate, as it would 1) temporarily reduce the heat on the homoclergy, and 2) allow them to keep their homoclerical demonocracy).
The governments in the west would give the coffers of the Church a close haircut, but allow the status quo ante. Eventually, as the Church continued to lose even more moral authority, the militant anti-Christians would use ever more coercive methods to drive a faithful remnant underground, while maintain the barest fig leave of “religious liberty.”
More kleptocratic governments would confiscate whatever they could. Social morality in the west and western-leaning countries will continue to decline.
But wait, it gets worse.
Eventually, the only remaining societies with even a scintilla of moral decency would be Shari’a-based, with their twisted, but by then superior view of morality, and they will then conquer the west.
Then, the persecution unto the death will take place.
And then, after a century or two of islamic misrule, the people will repent, and God will deliver us, and the Church will be cleansed.
My lists aren’t exhaustive, obviously. Schneider could make it into the low class.
Also, I might add Fellay of the SSPX to the low class.
I always am begging for mercy. But I don’t let the fact that I’m entirely undeserving, and might not receive it get in the way of trying to look at the reality of things.
