A good purging and cleansing is perhaps warranted.

"united by sexual orientation"

The Church will either get its act together or it will fail.

Ann Barnhardt's been ranting about the homos in the Church for a long time now.

I've been wading through the book Petrus Romanus.
Probably not 1/4 of the way through yet

There is a lot of deep stuff (some of it sounds like woo woo)
But there is a lot of background .

It ain't a fast read

Per Ann Barnhardt:

"... I have it from a good source that ...

The 300 page dossier by the three cardinals on the homosexual mafia and the homosexual cardinals WILL BE READ ALOUD AT THE CONCLAVE in the presence of ALL of the voting cardinals with NAMES NAMED after the oath of secrecy is taken.

These recent resignations of cardinals may very well be the sodomites running scared.

And yes, the Vatican sodomites are tied to the Vatican bank. Are we really shocked that sexual perversion and financial crimes are linked? You people who are STILL falling for the "what people do in their sex lives doesn't matter" meme have got to wake up. Sex, be it homo or hetero, DOES MATTER. Bill Clinton's escapades with Monica DID MATTER, because if a person can operate in the realm of sexuality with zero morality, shame or remorse, what do you think that implies about their business dealings, political dealings or their general psychological state? Sexual perversion and promiscuity are directly correlated to sociopathy and psychopathy. Sane people don't treat other people like pieces of meat. Sane people don't treat themselves like pieces of meat. Sane people regard other people as subjects, not objects. Sane people have consciences. Sane people have standards of decency and are repelled by sexual perversion.

It's on, y'all. The Holy Spirit is on the move. When I was in the Sistine Chapel alone for those 20 minutes back in December, I stood at the foot of the altar, looking at the Last Judgment, and prayed (after the Judica Me) that the Holy Spirit would do SOMETHING at the next conclave to deliver the Church from the Marxist-homosexualist infiltrators - having NO FATHOM that it would be a matter of weeks and it would be on like Donkey Kong.

Oh, and the sodomites and their Marxist allies are learning that if you're going to play chess with a Bavarian rocking a buck-eighty IQ, YOU. WILL. LOSE."


Wouldn't it be refreshing if just once -- ONCE -- something happened to renew our faith in Truth.

I pray near daily that the truth becomes evident even for the lowest of low info voters.

Devil's winning this round the world over.

We who believe in the Holy Bible should not be surprised, even if we are dismayed.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Exactly.

And I don't know that I'd draw the conclusions from the Reuter's piece that you have, Libertas, about the reason for the delay in the conclave.  The powers that be are trying to enforce the "confidentiality clause" about the proceedings or opinions about same, and it appears one group is the problem:

Quote
American cardinals who had been scheduled to hold their third media briefing in as many days canceled it less than an hour before it was to have started at Rome's North American College, where they are residing.

... In their briefings, the American cardinals did not disclose specifics but spoke generally about the proceedings as well as of their hopes and concerns about the state of the Catholic Church at a crucial time in its history.

... Asked about the cancellation of the U.S. briefing, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the pre-conclave meetings, known as general congregations, had to take place in a "climate of confidentiality".

I'm sure there's no love lost by Reuter's for the American contingent, nor for the Church, hence "The preliminary meetings are taking place as the crisis involving sexual abuse of children by priests and inappropriate behavior among adult clerics continues to haunt the Church and has rarely been out of the headlines", but the Americans are the ones giving media briefings -- rock-stars that they think they are.  If those from any other country are doing so, I haven't seen any word about it.  Nor have I seen any sexual abuse headlines "haunting" the Church lately either.

Americans have been conditioned to think "blow by blow",
"play by play" cometary is normal - they have no sense
of decorum or propriety.  Low information Cardinals divorced
from the Church.

So my linking of the homosexer cabal in the Church, the denials of such by high ranking Vatican officials and issues of confidentiality are off base?

 ::facepalm::

But I understand why they might be concerned about what kind of agenda the liberal American Cardinals might be up to, I'm guessing the few in that contingent that are not liberal probably warned the appropriate people pulling the conclave together.

Since secrecy is their right and essential to their proceedings...well, by the time we know anything or who they picked and why it is a done deal anyway...

No, not at all.  I just disagreed with the "punishment" aspect of what you wrote --

"Some Cardinals po'd that leaks of homosexer issues in their ranks, yes, we'll punish you by not electing someone!"

--- because it appears to me they're trying to at last get a handle on the homosexers and their activities.

There I go, being a smartass again.

Is there such a thing as smartasses anonymous?

Screw it, I wouldn't go anyway!   Nothing wrong with me!  ;D

Um....would you be MY Doctor too?
