"Summa summarum, the man is at war with everything the West holds dear."

A "just for the record" post today. I submit the following internet tidbits, all shocking in one sense-- that they level very serious accusations against the occupant of the papal throne. Then again, they are perhaps more shocking in the fact that they are largely true. Hold fast to the faith; the Lord will not let the boat capsize, as someone somewhere (where have I seen him before....?) recently remarked. And submit to the Roman Pontiff in order to be saved, to the extent one can do so without sinning. I pray we will have clarity as to the identity and lawful pronouncments of the pope, but perhaps we are not permitted this clarity by God in our chastisement. Take heart from the fact that St. Vincent Ferrer and St. Catherine of Siena opposed each other in a question like this long ago, and both were raised to the altars.Keep the faith; fulfill the duties of your state. Pray the rosary.With that in mind, here is a bit of how bad it is:From an interview with George Neumayr by Tom Woods: "Catholics will have to decide whether they guard the faith over papolatry.”And: “The Cardinals have to declare that Francis is a bad pope who must be resisted.”From the spicy Ann Barnhardt, who, despite problems of tone and certitude over the resignation question that I do not share, makes some very good and sobering points here: Letter from an Absentee Father to His ChildrenAnd, lastly, John Zmirak takes down the hench"men" of the Vatican:Leading Jesuit Condemns Pro-Life Movement, Trump Voters and ConservativesHappy Monday!
