    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

    • I pray for the Pope every day. I think that all these people who like to complain about Pope Francis should also include him in their prayers.

    • I pray for him at the conclusion of every rosary- an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be - which are part of the requirement for an indulgence... but I also pray that he become a truly Catholic, Traditional and Holy pope.

    • God reads my heart and knows that, try as I have been trying, I am unable to genuinely pray for him with sincerity.  I have tepidly prayed for his conversion, on occasion, but it is very hard to pray passionately for someone who seems to so actively hate the faithful priests who have brought me and others the true Mass, authentically Catholic doctrine, and authentic Catholic spirituality.  It is easier for me to pray for someone who despises me, personally, than it is for me to tolerate contempt, by a priest, for a priest more faithful than he is.  I find that quite evil.  I am worthy of contempt, but holy priests and Religious are not.

    Therefore, although I have "gone through the motions" of praying for him as part of indulgence activity, I believe I have not earned any such indulgences because my heart has not converted, and I am attached to my anger toward him.

    A very good explanation and probably how most trads internally deal with the modern popes.

    The very fact that he has contempt for the traditions of the Church, traditional Catholics, the truths of the faith, the miracles of Jesus, the Ten Commandments, the true Mass etc. is exactly what motivates me to pray for his conversion. I used to pray "for his good intentions if he has any" but that put me off on a tangent and distracted me from prayer. So now, it is just for his conversion.

    • I pray that Our Lady give the graces for this Pope ( or any Pope, however it may happen) to Consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. That is the best I can do.

    I ask that you pray for me that I become a better Catholic.
