It all depends...God will have His way no matter how many love Him or will turn their back on Him, but in terms of what happens to the church in the temporal world, it comes back to numbers. It appears most Catholics are asleep or couldn't care less, poorly catechized and informed, they probably would support the pope on first glance, maybe later think twice and end up disillusioned. <br />Either way, people are being hurt, and I am hoping for schism, because this is unbearable and will ultimately bring about a crisis of faith for many. One thing unavoidable to ponder would be why a just and powerful God as ours would allow usurpers to wander into his temple like goats and cattle and make such an unholy mess. The longer this goes on the worse it would get.Kathleen1031https://www.blogger.com/profile/10201084623185206141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-21730530408792574162016-12-19T15:08:47.163+00:002016-12-19T15:08:47.163+00:00Not so sure PF's approach is wrong, if the int...Not so sure PF's approach is wrong, if the intent is to push the agenda for the long term. A couple of reasons:<br /><br />1. Good cop, bad cop. This could be playing out several ways - BXVI could have been the good cop, PF the bad - making us pine for the days of BXVI. However, BXVI was precisely the sort of disguised Traditionalist you suggest. If you read BXVI's writings closely, you will discover a "God of surprises" couched in terms of evolution of Catholic teaching. Or, the good cop may yet come next - donning an exterior Traditional veneer, while pushing a subtle "progression" of Catholic teaching.<br /><br />2. PF may simply be playing the numbers. Sure, many do see the dangers he pushes, but far more do not (or actually support those changes). If push comes to shove, what do you think the breakdown would be between the Bergoglio church and the Burkean? If 10% stood by Burke, I would be shocked at such a high number. What better way to rid the Church of the last remnant then simply making them a remnant? To most of the world, which part would appear to be the true Catholic Church?c mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-45673564356351212302016-12-19T14:33:36.833+00:002016-12-19T14:33:36.833+00:00A must read is Ivereigh's latest:

The machiavellian minds who lurk in the shadows behind the throne thought they were putting in a puppet they could control, but he is too much of a maverick and a chatterbox to do their bidding without drawing attention to what is going on. That could turn actually into a saving grace. God writes straight with crooked lines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
