Do you believe the Holy Spirit made a mistake during the last conclave?

The Holy Spirit does not make mistakes.

Did the Holy Spirit make a mistake when the Arian heresy swept through the Church? Did God make a mistake when ISIS overran Mosul and Christians were slaughtered and women raped?

God permits certain things to happen which may not be in accord with his plan for either the Church or humanity. Nevertheless, God can and does bring good out of these temporary evils.

God's promise to the Church is that the gates of hell will not prevail against it. It is through the Church's 2,000 year tradition that it is able to persevere and overcome crises like the present one. It is not my opinion which is being opposed to the Pope's (as implied in that fatuous cartoon) but its unbroken apostolic tradition.

Papal Wars and antipopes, and a Leftist pope, oh my! Such a succession.

The Jews place their faith in their Tradition.

You place your faith in your (c)hurch's traditions?

Your (c)hurch has moved to the Left(as has most others), and it's not coming back.

Where does that leave you?
