   Sad!

   Churches always need rituals and these are the exhausted rituals of the dying “Church of Francis.”

   These links, 2 on Hungary and 1 on USA, are probably appropriate elsewhere but goes to show that Christianity is still hanging on in an anti-Christian West.

   I’ve been to two well attended papal addresses, one on New Year’s day 2022, iirc, though that one was accidental, I didnt know he did those and I was just going for a walk, though I’m sick of him too, he’s not going to tell me what to think about climate change.

   somewhat like the Polish TV did with John Paul II on his visit to his homeland

   People who worked in Polish TV at the time have told me their orders were to avoid showing any of the thousands of young people who flocked to see JP2 and only show the elderly.

   Strikes me as interesting that the most recent winner of the Nobel Prize for literature is a convert to Catholicism.

   Barring a “mysterious” fatal accident, is there any other way of getting rid of him, e.g. is he in frail enough health to warrant the Ratzinger precedent? He certainly seems to be reaching that point.

   The man is a moral and spiritual vacuum as well as a total embarrassment.

   Again, I pop in for one minute and here is Rosie, the Pope’s main defender now backtracking faster than a Liberal party politician speaking the truth against the party wishes.

   She never promoted the jabs either.
   But hey, let’s keep the peace and let her insanity and wrongology go unchallenged.

   Stating truths and facts are OK until they infringe upon a peaceful existence.

   Carry on.
