And you, Pope Francis, are the head of that Teaching Office. But you are not the Church. You are the Pope, the Supreme Teacher of the Church. But you are not the Church, nor can the Church be reduced to you alone. The latter error of reductionism is embraced not only by worldly reporters but also by faithful Catholics. This is the result of the transformation of the papacy in the past fifty years into a world super star, which transformation is a deformation in the development of the doctrine of the papacy.

Leading us in the wrong direction.

Sola scripturea....haven't heard that in a while.

Popes come and go. This one is already almost 80 years old. The cardinals are probably already looking ahead for the next pope.

Very good letter from Fr. Cipolla.

Good advice by Father Cipolla.

Dear Pope Francis, you are not a good teacher in these situations.

Au contraire, he is an exceptionally adept [Modernist] teacher and manipulator, who is now so emboldened that he dares to openly green light intrinsic evil.

I was not impressed with the cult of celebrity surrounding Pope John Paul II, and I am less impressed with the current situation.

Humility keeps a man within the confines of his responsibilities. Hubris makes a man believe his will is larger than his title.
