BELLUM CONTRA HÆRÉTICOS

Card. Prevost elected by conclave as Leo XIV—Who is he? Leo XIV, Cardinal Prevost, has been elected by the Conclave. He is thus a true successor of Paul VI: but is he a successor of St Peter? https://www.wmreview.org/p/leo-xiv-prevost

Non habemus papam.

He's a "moderate" now, since Francis destroyed so much. He would have been a heretic in the 50s, and burnt at the stake in the Middle Ages.

Not one man currently in the Sistine Chapel is a real cardinal. This is, therefore, an illegitimate election. It is possible, however, that by a miracle of God's infinite mercy, a real Catholic could somehow receive the requisite two thirds of votes and be elected, and his subsequent recognition by the virtual unanimity of the Church would legitimize his elevation to the Papacy. (That's without thinking of the Cassiciacum Thesis.) Let us pray that such a miracle occur. Kyrie eleison.

Cue jokes: "We're all sedevacantists now." How funny. But no, "we're" not. Sedevacantism is predicated not just on a vacant see, but the Church's teaching on the papacy and her own constitution. Many who are chortling about how "we're sedevacantists now" will accept whoever's elected—even Pope Susan: https://www.wmreview.org/p/susanvacantism

Francis is dead, RIP Jorge Mario Bergoglio, whom many know as 'Pope Francis,' has gone to his reward. What next? https://www.wmreview.org/p/francis-is-dead-rip

Jorge Mario Bergoglio has died. He showed the Catholic world the poisonous fruits of Vatican II in an obvious fashion leading to a surge of Catholics to seek out more traditional groups and forms of worship to reject the Modernist's concoctions. So much so, that towards the latter years of his papacy, he attempted to suppress various indult groups and TLM associations. However, his attempts merely managed to foster a spirit of rebellion. Bergolio was known to cause confusion with every official statement and especially informal interviews. First, by the ambiguous text or wording, then by the strange responses, or lack of, when questioned on such teachings and thirdly by the actions that he allowed to go unchallenged by his bishops. Examples include, Amoris Laetitia, which allowed open adulterers to receive communion. The Document on Human Fraternity For World Peace and Living Together which states that God wills a diversity of religions and the more recent "gay blessing" scandal, with many, many more examples. It is immeasurable the loss of faith, confusion and division that he has caused. We should hope that he has made peace with God before his final moments and that He has mercy on him. Eternal rest grant onto him, O Lord, and perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen.

Linking Satanism with religious liberty triggered outrage—here's why Follow-up to the drama over this issue. Here's the thing: we either accept that liberalism pervades the very air we breathe, or we live in denial. https://www.wmreview.org/p/trigger-warning
