    Inflamation is seen in his face. Look at the photo beneath your post.
    What is the prophetic expectation? A more moderate pope? Or are we due an even more progressive views from the Vatican and See of Peter.

    The distinction is that he wouldn't be giving a blessing to the businessman's exploitationary practices, but to his soul. The identity of businessmen is not primarily associated with corruption and exploitation, most are reasonably honest and decent. To bless a homosexual is to bless him on account of his identity and what that identity is associated with. This latter is exponentially magnified when there are two together. A lone homosexual might be chaste and celibate, but two together identifying as 'partners'? Ah, come off it, Pope Francis.

    PF's reference to one homosexual amounts, even literally, to a half-truth. All of this in a papacy where 2+2 does not always equal 4 and where 1+1 does not amount to 2.

    I’m simply saying that in two generations, the Traditional Latin Mass will have been completely restored. The NO might not be suppressed, but it will die a rapid death by attrition. The small faithful remnant that remains will want nothing to do with it, and the gray haired generations that “loved” the vernacular NO Masses will be long gone.

    The NO is what was salvaged from Annibale Bugnini's attempt to completely abolish the Mass, thanks to the objections of Cardinal Ottoviani, in particular. The Consecration was restored to Bugnini's travesty, but otherwise we were left with bare bones. I speak as someone who has had no experience of the Latin Mass since I was a very young child, but I consider that I have been deprived of the most precious of things. Those who dislike the idea of the decline of the NO should appreciate that it will be a natural death, inevitable due to the apathy towards itself that it generates. On the other hand, millions of faithful Catholics saw their Mass of untold generations tyrannically murdered almost overnight. But, the VO is undergoing Resurrection.

    I don't think the Great Angelic Pope is due for quite a while yet

    I am inclined to think the Martyr Pope of Fatima who dies fleeing Rome is coming up.

    As a reputation for wicked Papa Frankie

    All I want is a good Catholic for Pope.

    He doesn't have to be a genius

    He doesn't have to be a saint.

    He doesn't have to be a wonder worker.

    He doesn't have to be a great Leader

    Just a gentleman who is a good Catholic

    Is that too much to ask the Cardinals for?

    Just a good Catholic

    Pope John was always fat ,even as a young man. Ironically he died of stomach cancer

    Papa Frankies problems are congestive

    Pope St John's problems were too much pasta

    With Frankie his old lungs are failing. It's not fatness with Frankie, he is bloated

    I kinda think Papa Frankie is overdosing on Steriods. The doctors know they are giving him way too much but the alternative is his lungs what's left of them collapsing so they go for the lesser of the two evils and pump him full of the stuff

    Hence his present very erratic behaviour

    He's alway been evil, but clever evil

    But at the moment it's stupid crazy evil

    Yes, it is horrible because of the cognitive dissonance and confusion that it causes the simple Catholics. And the horror is that these same sex couples need salvation, like all of us, and this document pulls them from the narrow path of salvation, and places them in the wide path to hell. :cry:

    btw I am editing because I have cataracts and am making way too many spelling errors.

    Don’t worry about it! (Since I had strokes, I have to read through and edit multiple times to catch all the spelling and grammatical mistakes I make initially. Then I have to add to what I wrote several times to complete a semi coherent thought, due to stroke induced attention deficit disorder. Ugh.)

    I'm not a Doctor but I would guess they are to help the muscles that help him breath work. Without them I guess he would suffocate.

    Pope Francis has been given much time to reconsider his words and actions, but he seems to be continuing to 'double down'.
