How can a man who denied almost every aspect of the Catholic Faith, be lionized as a Great Man of the Church? Should we not think that if a real pope was doing his job, he would be despised by the world.

If we did not have the promises of Our Lord Jesus Christ that the Church of Christ would survive to the end of the world and that the Roman See is indefectible, we could reasonably view the traditionalist war for the Catholic Religion as a near complete failure. A man who said publicly that Luther was correct with regard to the question of Justification, that there is no Hell, that God wills all religions and does not just tolerate them, that non-believers should not be converted to the Church --- that being a supreme no-no, that sodomitic "unions" could be blessed, and that divorced and remarried people should not worry about taking "a piece of bread and a little wine," should be looked at with horror by the faithful and, even, by a world that appreciates the Catholic Church's role in the world. But he is not, quite the contrary. It is this man who began, if we except Jose Marie Escriva, to canonize all of the pantheon of Novus Ordo "saints." All of these things, and al of the teachings of his predecessors back to John XXIII, have become part of the milieu, part of the atmosphere of Rome. It is a universalism and worldliness that is the basis for currently praising Francis and for the "hopes" that the Mass Media puts in the election of his successor. It is Man that is now considered to be divine. Just as the Neo-Modernists had always hoped.
