[Catholic Caucus] Austrian priest: Pope Francis is responsible for widespread ‘dismay, heresy, and division’ in the Church

There is no doubt that the blessing document has become a turning point. The faithful will not be fooled. They understand very well that Francis has left the teachings of the Church here, even if the document brazenly claims the opposite. The pope’s credibility is, therefore, gone. More and more Catholics are becoming increasingly aware of his blunders: The letter Amoris laetitia (relativization of marriage), the Abu Dhabi Declaration (relativization of Christianity), and finally, the motu proprio Traditiones custodes (persecution of the traditional Mass) seem like a swath of devastation that cannot be overlooked. This also applies to the scandal surrounding the Pachamama during the Amazon Synod and the pope’s aberrant “climate theology” with its neo-pagan elements.

Catholics screwed up when they elected a woke socialist to lead them.
This guy couldn’t carry John Pauls jock.

Thought experiment: If a validly elected pope were to publicly proclaim that “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet,” and follow that up with a personal pilgrimage to Mecca, that is to say, he made it abundantly clear that he no longer personally believed the Catholic faith without making any sort of ex cathedra statement, would he cease to be the pope?

What if he simply said that the Trinity is not true, and that there is only one person in God, but again, not in any ex cathedra sort of way?

What if he said that there are actually four persons in one God: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Satan?

How obvious would his heresy have to be for an ordinary Catholic to be able in good conscience to declare that he had lost the papacy?

To be clear, the cardinals screwed up, not all Catholics.

As far as Bergoglio is concerned, we don't even need the "what ifs":

Blasphemy: Pope Francis Makes Jokes About God

“In the meeting, the pope jokingly likened this to the way the Holy Trinity functions. ‘Inside the Holy Trinity they’re all arguing behind closed doors…but on the outside they give the picture of unity.’

You are right but to be fair, he was installed, just like Biden was installed. Catholic laity had no say in the matter.

I understand that is up to cardinals.
