If you are unaware of the profound conflict ...Alan,<br />If you are unaware of the profound conflict going on in the Catholic Church, then you have not been paying attention.<br /><br /><i>And what's with the "Pope Paul VII" reference? Is that some sort of weird dig at Bl. Paul VI - as though Francis isn't his own man?</i><br /><br />Precisely. It's called satire. The Pope is a flaming liberal who is promoting changes in church discipline clearly aimed at undermining its doctrine.John (Ad Orientem)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14329907942477160166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-47754655162840405442014-11-10T19:08:33.702-05:002014-11-10T19:08:33.702-05:00And what's with the "Pope Paul VII" ...And what's with the "Pope Paul VII" reference?

I've spoken with him: he's a poor communicator, a bad speaker, very awkward among crowds, etc. I don't think he has any actually pastoral experience. Who knows.A. T.
