  2. Canon 915: Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion.

    • The Pope and the President – The Catholic Thing (11/3/21, Robert Royal) – I’ve been critical– on this page and via the Papal Posse at EWTN, among other venues – of many things Pope Francis has said and done. With a proper respect, I believe. But more than everything else – more than the indirect infidelities in Amoris Laetitia; the cringe-making chumminess with McCarrick, Zanchetta, Battista Ricca, and many other abusers; the harsh measures against the TLM; even the outrage of Pachamama – he’s done nothing more outrageous than telling Joe Biden – if the story’s true – that he’s a “good Catholic” and should “continue receiving Communion.”

Pope Francis and the Vatican

(For those uncomfortable with criticizing the Catholic Church hierarchy, see Catholic Leadership Critique Rationale)

Before getting into the critique of Pope Francis and the Vatican, here are 13 Good Things Pope Francis Has Done – OnePeterFive – 1/19/24

Here are the primary reasons why I believe Pope Francis has lost all moral credibility with serious Catholics like myself:

  1. Sexual abuse coverups (15+ articles)
  2. Scandals and Lack of Accountability (15+ articles) including Pachamama idolatry
  3. Liberal Appointments (30+ articles)
  4. Support for pro-abortion politics (15+ articles)
  5. Suppression of Catholic conservatives and Tradition; ignores Dubia (20+ articles)
  6. Acceptance of Homosexuality (60+ articles)
  7. Heretical Statements and Actions (40+ articles)
  8. Synod on Synodality (9 articles)
  9. Promoter of Globalism and One World Government (30+ articles)
  10. Promoter of COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates (25+ articles)

Additional notable items:

  1. Pope rips EWTN ‘work of the devil’ | News Headlines | Catholic Culture (9/21/21) – He clearly does not believe a Pope should ever be criticized. But he has no problem ripping into those whose viewpoint differs from his.
    • Evidently linking such criticism to support for the Tridentine liturgy, the Pope went on to speak of “the decision to stop the automatism of the ancient rite.” He said that when young priests seek permission to celebrate the Latin Mass, it is “a phenomenon that indicates we are going backward.”
    • Earlier in the exchange, Pope Francis had spoken out against a tendency to “look back to the past: to seek security.” He said: “This is the evil of this moment—namely, to seek the path in rigidity and clericalism, which are two perversions.”

  3. Pope Francis condemns ‘serious sin’ of ‘proselytism’ but has ‘no explanation’ for vocations crisis – lifesitenews.com – 1/16/23
  4. Lightning Strikes St. Peter Statue on Pope Francis’ Birthday 12/17/23, Internet Lights Up – CatholicVote org – 1/1/24 – The lightning struck the statue, despite there being lightning rods some 30-40 feet above it.
  5. Illegal Immigrant Caravans and Criminal Catholics (townhall.com)– Michelle Malkin
    • Pope Francis donated $500,000 nine months ago from his Peter’s Pence fund to assist illegal immigrant caravan participants. The subsidies cover “27 projects in 16 dioceses and Mexican religious congregations” for “housing, food and basic necessities,” as well as “migrant” assistance programs “run by seven dioceses and three religious congregations: the Scalabrinians, the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the Hermanas Josefinas,” according to the Catholic News Service.
    • Make no mistake: These are not desperate people suddenly seeking refuge from violence and harm. They are low-wage workers, pew-fillers and future ethnic-bloc voters being exploited by Big Business, the Vatican and the Democrat Party.

So why did Pope Francis describe those “peaceful protestors” as “good Samaritans”?
