We are informed that Bergoglio has ordered a commission to look into the translation of the Novus Ordo Missae, not to improve it of course, but to pervert it. No doubt he intends to make clowns a permanent fixture, and maybe he will thrown in Martin Luther and Mohammed into the Eucharistic prayer.
I do not know much about most of the bishops on the list of Bergoglio's list of cardinal appointments. What I could gather was that none of the 3 American cardinals are actually Catholics, with passing knowledge of at least 2 of them and having looked up the last one - Tobin. At first I thought it was Bishop Thomas Tobin, which would have been a good appointment, but Joseph Tobin seems to be a totally different kettle of fish, a a rotten one at that.
So DeusExMachina thinks that the firing of some scandalous bloggers has more to do with the realisation by the National Catholic Register that earning a living from a dying gang - what he calls "ZombieChurch" - is a bad business modell.
