I am not Catholic, but I want to ask: shouldn’t a pope, or maybe a bishop somewhere down the line, discipline clergy and religious who advocate the exact opposite of Catholic teaching? I am figuring that would be normal, but we don’t seem to have a normal pope here and, from what I have read, there are plenty of bishops who are not what you would normally expect either.

JPII knew this would happen and he did everything he could to shore up the people to be able to weather this present storm.

He wrote some of the best encyclicals in the entire history of the Church.

He knew his main responsibility was to feed the sheep of God.

He visited every continent, except Antarctica, more than any other pope and young people responded. Until Francis, men entering seminaries were on the upswing.

After the devastation created by the libs and their "spirit of Vatican II," John Paul cleaned things up and righted the ship.

We now have Hurricane Francis.

Think of it as if America had Hillary been forced upon us through an illegal election.

That is where we in the Church are right now.

We are just praying that the hurricane does not devastate us completely.
