Prof Mattei is a highly intelligent and invaluable ecclesiastical expert. Read everything from him that you can get your hands on.

A great place to begin is his eye-opening, The Second VaticanCouncil (an unwritten story)

CNN claimed he was the first non-European Pope then within the hour admitted their mistake.

Is there a Francis II. There is Francis. Period.

Basic English writing skills are lacking these days.

I get so weary of these “Pope this and Pope that” threads, accompanied by all this Protestant bashing. One would almost think FR is a RC site or something. Surely not.

What makes this Pope exalting audacity so unique is it is done on a American conservative site like FR. This is the only conservative site I know of that pushes this. European Kings, emperors, popes on their thrones (the throne of Peter), absolutely foreign to what this country was founded. Roman Catholic Machiavelli-like oppression is what the Pilgrims, etc., came here to escape from, for heaven’s sake. America is the very antithesis of all that.

Yet here we have “the throne of Peter,” “Protestant heretics,” pushed here with reckless abandon. On an American conservative site, no less. Go figure.
