??? Of course that is a concern!! The only way I can navigate the worst, most terrible, horrible, continuing disaster of the Most pure Holy Mother Church in the entire history of the world is to determine Who is really Roman Catholic, following truth and Tradition, then to find the enemies of God and His Church. Just like a football field has 2 ends, so does this battle have ONLY TWO war camps: God on one end, satan at the other far end. But in the middle there is a red line. If you step over that red line , you have just entered enemy territory...and you are now a traitor to God's militia.
Do you think Sspx Sanford Chapel is still fighting for God's glory? That local bishop is under obedience to the Pope, his superior. I therefore posit that our Holy Father tiptoed across the red line, ummh...? like, many seasons ago!! He just made a touchdown with F S in Dec 2023. 'Down' is a word esp. apt for this post...Heaven is Up , he ** is down. The Pope might be expecting a convert:popcorn:
