“But the issue many RCs don’t like is this: he cannot be removed from office through any “legal” means within Roman Catholicism.”

The problem is likely much bigger than Pope Francis. After all the Cardinals placed him there. Once Francis is gone another leftist may take his place.

Prayers for the Catholic Church.

It simply cannot be done. The fact is, if a Pope were to become so debilitated that he actually became incapable of governing the Church, and was so physically and/or mentally incapacitated that he couldn’t even resign his office, /nobody/ could step in and take charge. There is absolutely /no/ legal mechanism that would permit any cardinal, or even the College of Cardinals together, to decide that the Pope is no longer /sui compos /and somehow to take charge themselves.

Time to again nail some policies to a church somewhere. The Church is totally corrupt, like DNC.

Bishop Strickland should join Abp Vigano and Bp Schneider, and go full scorched-earth against the vicious anti-Catholic in the Vatican.

Freedom's just another word
