If anything can induce St Michael off his parapet, or change his mind about sheathing that sword, it just might be Leo and his Lavender Landslide.
Or perhaps Dolce y Gabbana’s recent take on Church vestments for . . . ‘men’(?). While I’ll defer to Ms. Mullarkey for an artistic critique of the spectacle, I will note that this is a perfect picture of Leo’s (Anti-)Papacy. Depicted on the wings are some of the eager electors of Leo — 80% of whom were appointed by the obvious usurper Jorge Bergoglio the Bouncer from Buenos who styled himself “Francis” — from the second Faux-Conclave in a row that Holy Mother Church has had to endure.
As an aside, I must remind you, Gentle Reader, that Usurpation Only Engenders Usurpation. While Francis the St Gallen Mafia Golden Boy managed to wrest the reins of power, if not the papacy itself, from Pope Benedict — by Obama hook or by Hilary-Soros crook — by forcing him into exile for life in a cell at the Mater Ecclesiae monastery, he could not quite wrangle the papal office out of ol’ Benedict. Benedict may have publicly purported to “split” the ministry into active and contemplative, but he never gave an inch of the office, or munus itself — the papal charge and mandate if I may so define it — to feed the Lord’s Sheep and strengthen the brothers in the Faith.
Benedict never stopped doing that, exercising his munus, even from exile, as his three major interventions for the benefit of us and Holy Mother Church from those ten years show: His Apostolic Letter written (but rejected by Francis) for the McCarrick Synod in February 2019, but released in the Spring of 2019 in an obscure parochial journal in Bavaria on the true cause of the pederast abuse scandal (homosexuality in the chanceries and the seminaries); his eulogy for Joachim Cardinal Meisner, where in echoes of his famous 2005 eulogy of Pope John Paul he again decried the rising tide of the dictatorship of relativism and the clear and present danger today of it swamping the Bark of the Church; and his defense of priestly celibacy that scotched Bergoglio’s early plans to marry off and thus bury the priesthood.
Francis did not feed the Sheep; he devoured them. Literally. The Church in China, sold into slavery, torture and imprisonment, is Exhibit A. The protection of clerical rapists (like Rupnik) and pederasts (Zanchetta, Ricca, and a host of rogues too numerous to name and in fact so numerous that they attained their own designation in Vatican circles: “Friends of Francis” the new untouchable criminal class) is Exhibit B. That is the regard Francis had — and Leo has — for your children. It is in inverse proportion to their support for the clerical abuser/Friend of Francis. Because to defend such men is to put them in authority — pastoral and paternal authority — over your children.
(Which is one reason why I wouldn’t let my children within a country mile of Francis.)
