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.
I have written and said it enough times: Bergoglio is an avowed enemy of the faith! When I first started saying it I was alone. Nowadays, I don't even bother to say it because anybody who has been following him and loves the faith is of the same opinion.
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.
