Finally, a group of American priests, moderate and by no means traditionalist, commented to me the enormous uneasiness caused in California by the cardinalatial appointment of the bishop of San Diego, a small and suffragan diocese, while the archbishop of Los Angeles, its metropolitan, is not. And the problem is not just who wears the purple; the problem is that Cardinal Robert McElroy is extremely progressive, too progressive even for his own folks.

Too bad, so sad.

The Church has a history of deposing Popes the old fashioned way. Poisoning, beheading, beat to death (by a jealous husband), starved to death . . .

Mayhaps it's time to sing "Give me that old time religion".

It’s simply untrue that “everyone” hates him. The gays and the geriatric Catholic left still seem to love the guy, as evidenced by the glowing “amen” articles and comment sections at America magazine and the NC Reporter. Though perhaps it’s more precise to say that they love his *agenda* rather than his thoroughly deplorable character and personality.

As Tucker Carlson asked on one of his recent shows where he reported on the U.S. and Canadian assault on religion, where are the priests and other religious leaders and why aren’t they speaking out against the state’s Gestapo assaults on religion? Is it because they agree with the state authorities assaulted and arresting a minister for taking a stand by protesting against a drag queen’s indoctrination of the children, or are most of them too intimidated or cowardly to deplore this demonic state action? When society loses its religious leaders, Lucifer is well on the road to victory.
