        I stopped parsing the Bergoglian word cloud about a hundred pixels in. Young people have especially strong bull5hit detectors and recoil instinctively from attempts by their elders to be hip, relevant, or "relatable." But they do respond fairly well to the truth and crave authenticity. Which is why Bergoglio's bookish, ascetic immediate predecessor was a far greater draw for young Catholics than our humble-bragging showboat-pontiff.

      Why even state this: "These words of the Pontiff about the abandonment of the Church certainly contain some truth:" That seems like saying "a wolf in sheeps clothing does have something in common with sheep, like white wool."

      I'm not saying the Pope is a wolf in sheeps clothing. I'm saying it's like a wolf in sheeps clothing, and this ridiculous excuse for the precipitous decline in mass attendence has nothing to do with shady business owners who go on vacation, and everything to do with modernist clerics who have attempted to refashion the Church in their own image.

    Anyone remember "The Francis Effect" from 2013? Apparently the cheerleaders declared that there was going to be a marvellous Effect on something...Mass attendances or vocations or whatever. It does not seem to have worked for attendances at the Papal audiences in Rome, a key indicator of whether people are actually prepared to go out of their way to see and hear him..

    And more recently, I saw a report that the Vatican has not released any audience statistics for 2017 and 2018. Which implies they are even less favourable to PF.

      Honestly that statement by the Pope is a pretty darn strong indictment of himself and all of the other modernists. They’re just too blinded by pride to see it.

    St Augustine said that the punishment God inflicts on the prideful is to give them over to their lust. Given the nature of the current crisis, I would have to agree.

Of all the people I know who have left the church, none gave the reason being that some fella went on vacation to the Caribbean.

What a clown. "don’t say that you are a Catholic, if you don’t give witness. Say instead, ‘I had a Catholic education but I am lukewarm, I am worldly, don’t look at me as a model.’"

So - a lukewarm south american revolutionary marxist is elected or chosen by a huge amount of pro-liberal gay cardinals, to be their leader...??? Makes sense.

The devil was already on the inside and is having blast...

I haven't trusted this pope almost from the beginning. I trust him even less now. He does not speak in plain terms. He babbles on and on about things that are so inconsequential to the average Catholic as to be thoroughly ignored by most. The only "Catholics" who seem to think he's great are socialist and Marxist. I'm not sure of the possible implications from his dissolving the Ecclesia Dei support, but I don't doubt that he does not favor Tradition. And to write an encyclical on global warming, that's just typical of a thoroughly pickled liberation theologist and Jesuit! All of these things do not bode well for the Church.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Own comment: 

It is not difficult to understand why only an idiot on a bad day trusts Bergoglio. Half the time the guy talks he is either blaspheming, insulting others, belittling the faithful, promoting evil or minimising its sinfulness. Half of the other time he is lying so blatantly that everyone can catch on to it and the other half nobody understands what in the Bergoglio he is talking about.

Even if we wanted to take him seriously it would be an impossible task given hardly anybody can figure out what he means with his verbal diarrhea, and he contradicts what he says almost all of the time.

I shall let have the last word:
