I was just perusing the official site of the Campos priests.  The priest that offers Mass in São Fidelis, where the episcopal consecration of Bishop Rangel took place without the explicit permission of the modern Roman authorities, has a great deal of posts on the site.  I was searching for any old docuмents that might be of use as I am forming a collection of old- untranslated `Portuguese writing from Bishop De Castro Mayer.  Of course there was nothing!

Any how, it seems that the priests of Campos have gone completely nutz!  

There is what seems to be a poem dedicated to Francis.

It is more than just a poem it is something of a Litany!

Today I want to join my voice to that of so many people to thank God for the first year of the pontificate of Pope Francis.

But who is Francis?

Francis is a gift for the Church today.

Francis is the "result" of the prayer of millions of Catholics who a year ago asked God for a new Pope according to the Heart of Christ.

Francis was the consolation of God, after the shock we all carry with the announcement that our beloved Benedict XVI would resign.

Francis is proof that Benedict XVI acted driven by God when he decided to resign. Benedict now lives assured that he sees that the Church continues in good hands.

Francis is the Pope who speaks more with gestures than with words.

Francis is a constant preaching, which reminds us that often got lost in superfluous things.

Francis is synonymous with going out of oneself, to meet each other, to go to the existential peripheries.

Francis is synonymous with joy of the Gospel, lived in a radical, preached with clarity and depth.

Francis is supreme Pastor of a Church of open doors, with confessionals working, a church and a mother and not a customs of Sacraments.

Francis is an antidote to pessimism, defeatism, without the Easter fasts, the faces of vinegar ...

Francis is a whip against gossip, bad judgments, careerism, the exhibitionism.

Francis wants pastors not employee priests.

Francis wants mercy, not hardliners or lax priests.

Francis is an echo of mercy, compassion, kindness.

Francis is a cry against worldliness, inside and outside the Church.

Francis is a scourge against the idolatry of money and power.

Francis is bothered and feels offended when they present him ideologized, misrepresented.
Francis is the face that Christ wants today for His Church.

Francis, finally, is the image of Christ the Good Shepherd who loves us, knows us, and gives little by little his life for us.


So today we say : Lord , thank you for everything you have given us , when you gave us Francis.

A similar thing happened with Fr. Georges de Nantes' CRC, who now see Bergoglio as a new St. Pius X (I am not making this up or exaggerating). The "traditional" accordists will still be defending Vatican II and Francis after everyone else has moved on.
