Someday, in a galaxy far, far away, there will be a Vatican actually run by Catholics.

Holy Spirit, please cleanse Your Church.
Don’t be surprised if God responds “Not my circus, not my monkeys”.
It won’t be long before Priests perform weddings for same sex couples.
But it is His Circus, and we are His monkeys.
The Jews proudly said “We are the Chosen People” somewhat similar to Catholics proclaiming “We are the One True Church”. Jesus said God can create sons of Abraham from stones. Yes, the universe is His circus but pride is not helpful for this journey.
Are you still waiting for an apology from the bully in 7th grade?
Man sins. Even popes. Scoundrels rise and protect each other in every government, inclyding Church government. The Church is Christ’s Bride, despite haters, and is chocking with prideful sinners just like FreeRepublic.com and my chair! Some worse, some less today.
Become a saint. God designed yoy to become a saint. Stop refusing him like do many of these men. What’s your stupid EXCUSE?!
You know what the magisterium teaches....read the catechism and bible. Screw the losers lije francis and martin that are infested or evil, do what you gotta do....become a saint. Ignore the jerks.
Change what God wants you to: become a saint as you were designed specifically to do, with your strengths and weaknesses, especially weaknesses.
Stop counting jerks. Count love, count on Jesus’ love for You and how great it is. Suffer for Jesus, suffer for love. I help a guy fix stuff right now, my knee freaking kills me. I love Jesus and this opportunity to love Him andd this dude that needs help that no one else will help and who desperately needs help. I’m an answer right now to my own prayer and maybe his family’s until far better arrives and may never. Thank you Jesus. Forget the freaks that God is not calling you to help, help the one he is! A freak and sinner like you/me in worse shape today.
Can’t save the world for God. Jesus was killed, who am I to do better. Do what he did...love those God encounters you with that you can help him with...in love as opposed to just material-ly. Be the rare laborer.
The Holy Spirit will cleanse His Church.
Jesus Christ admonished sinners.
However, Bergoglio only accompanies them (to their perdition).
Bergoglio only admonishes and punishes traditional Catholics.
