If the title of this topic makes you uneasy at all [....]

What, me "uneasy"?  Why, yes, indeed it does.

[...] you have something to learn.

Just because I present opinions on some issues, a reader shouldn't assume that I  believe I've already learned everything that I need to know about traditional Catholicism.

The six objective intentions of the Holy Father, traditionally understood, are:
[#1] the exaltation of the Church, [#2] the propagation of the Faith, [#3] the extirpation of heresy, [#4] the conversion of sinners, [#5] concord between Christian princes, and [#6] the further welfare of the Christian people.

Alas, that list is from a time when the Holy Father himself was traditionally understood to act as an advocate for all 6 of those intentions.  Instead of subverting them.

So, alas, we read reports of a Francis who publicly abandons the title Patriarch of the West, thus abandoning the title Pope (#1), and colludes with representatives of eastern orthodoxy in planning to change the date of the Western-Christian Easter to one of theirs, thus rejecting the modern calculations that resulted from the reforms decreed by Pope Gregory XIII (#1); and opposes & disparages efforts to convert nonCatholics into Catholics (#2,3).  Does any reader believe that he'll be endorsing & elaborating "Mortalium Animos" (Pius XI, 1928) any time soon?   He's presumably proud of appearing as cover-boy and 2013 "Person of the Year" for The Advocate (awww, isn't that "NOH8" on his cheek so cuuute!?) (#4).  What has he really done to remedy the nasty moral scandal that's devastating to the welfare of mostly-young Catholics, which is continuing through its 3rd consecutive modernist papacy (#6)?

Ah, yes, one remains: "concord between Christian princes" (#5).  Mañana!
