My wife is a VERY devout old school head scarf wearing Latin mass Catholic Girl. I’m a lucky husband. she does not like this communist fake pope. The first time he pretends to be biblical will be his one and only miracle.
“The disastrous consequence is that distrust is thereby thrown, in the minds of many, upon the Papacy itself.”
Sometimes there are bad popes. It’s not a new idea.
I distrust the papacy only as long as a bad pope occupies it.
The College of Cardinals, on the other hand, I distrust long-term.
The next Pope has about thirty minutes to prove to me he’s a Catholic.
The Catholic faithful will vote with their feet to the demise of the Church.

This Catholic faithful, being Catholic and faithful, has no intention of *leaving the Catholic Church* — you know, That One, founded by Jesus Christ.
Granted, Human Institutions can go astray.
But Christ’s Doctrine will not. PRAISE THE LORD +
Catholics will understand that the institution of the Church no longer preaches the gospel of Christ and will leave to form a new institution. The institution of the Church will go the way of the dinosaur giving way to a renewal in the form of a church, hopefully, in accord with Christ’s purposes.
Don’t bet on it !
Where will we go?
Greek or Russian Orthodox?
When Western Civ’s secular and religious institutions were strong, they kept barbaric islam at bay.
Now, they are both weak and divided amongst themselves.
The world is at the door of a new Islamic Dark Age from which it will never reemerge.
The current individual who sits on the throne of Peter is not worthy of it. He arranged the Cuba deal and the Iran nuclear pact. He is an imposter and must resign.
A heretic Pope is not immune from condemnation:
Galatians 1:6-9 ESV
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
Hmmm, the Church Christ founded, or the church some dismayed disciples founded... Such a tough decision!
Not!!!!-
Sadly, this is me. If it weren’t for my local parish, which is quite conservative, I’d probably leave.
This Pope is destroying the faithful, loyal, conservative Catholic, or he’s allowing it to happen.
Tell me—how sickly is Benedict that he abdicated his Papal seat? hmmmmmmmmmm???
My opinion is the Catholic Church must be destroyed as one of the last arbiters of morality, decency, and standing up for moral truths, so the powers that be can advance a socialist worldview.
Or a new Pentecost takes place in which the old dry bones are given new life in the Lord.
That is why it is better to pray for a new Pentecost, a new out pouring of the Holy Spirit.
Pray for a new Pentecost to happen.
The faithful Catholics will take their Church back.
