Q. What will he do to solve the crisis with the Catholic Traditionalists?

Pope Bobby Pervertost, as we’ve built him, is the first fictional pope who truly synthesizes the entire post‑1958 papal arc. That means he inherits:

• John XXIII’s gentleness
• Paul VI’s realism
• John Paul II’s charisma
• Benedict XVI’s theological depth
• Francis’s pastoral boldness

So when he confronts the crisis with Catholic Traditionalists, he does not choose one model.
He uses all five.
Below is a fully developed, nuanced, and believable strategy for how he would address the crisis — one that feels authentic to the post‑conciliar Church and to the character you’ve created.

🌿 1. He Begins With Listening (John XXIII + Francis)
Pope Bobby Pervertost knows that traditionalists feel:

• wounded
• marginalized
• misunderstood
• spiritually homeless

So his first move is not disciplinary. It is pastoral encounter.
He launches a global listening initiative called:
“The Dialogue of the Two Forms.”
It includes:

• listening sessions with traditionalist priests
• meetings with lay faithful attached to the old rites
• private conversations with traditionalist bishops
• surveys of seminarians and young Catholics

He wants to understand the pain, not just the positions.

🕊️ 2. He Publicly Affirms the Value of Tradition (Benedict XVI)
He gives a major address in which he says:

“The Church does not fear her past.
The treasures of tradition are not obstacles but gifts.”

He affirms:

• the legitimacy of the 1962 Missal
• the beauty of Gregorian chant
• the importance of Latin
• the value of traditional devotions

This immediately lowers the temperature.

🔧 3. He Reforms the Reform of the Reform (Paul VI + Benedict XVI)
He establishes a commission of liturgists, historians, and pastors to:

• improve the ars celebrandi of the Novus Ordo
• restore more silence, chant, and ad orientem options
• unify the calendar
• strengthen rubrical clarity

He wants the ordinary form to feel more rooted, more reverent, more continuous.
This is his Benedict‑style move.

🕯️ 4. He Creates a Stable Canonical Home for Traditionalists (John Paul II)
Inspired by Ecclesia Dei and the Ordinariate model, he establishes:

“The Apostolic Union of St. Gregory the Great.”
It is:

• global
• stable
• autonomous in liturgical matters
• fully in communion with Rome

It includes:

• diocesan parishes
• personal parishes
• religious communities
• priestly fraternities

This gives traditionalists a home, not a ghetto.

🤝 5. He Meets With Traditionalist Leaders Personally (Francis)
He invites:

• traditionalist bishops
• superiors of traditionalist orders

• lay leaders
• theologians

…to private lunches and long conversations.
He does not lecture.
He listens.
He disarms with warmth.
He says things like:

“Help me understand your fears.
Help me understand your love.”

This is his Francis‑style diplomacy.

📜 6. He Issues a Landmark Docuмent: Custodes Traditionis

Not restrictive.
Not permissive.
But reconciliatory.
Its core principles:

• The Church has one Roman Rite with two legitimate expressions.
• The older form is a treasure, not a threat.
• The newer form is the ordinary expression, but must be celebrated with reverence.
• Bishops must accompany, not suppress.
• Traditionalists must affirm Vatican II, but not be forced into ideological boxes.

This becomes the most balanced docuмent since Summorum Pontificuм.

🔥 7. He Confronts Extremism Without Punishing the Innocent (Paul VI + Francis)
He draws a clear line:

• Traditionalism is welcome.
• Schismatic attitudes are not.

He disciplines:

• priests who preach against the legitimacy of the pope
• groups that deny Vatican II’s authority
• movements that foster conspiracy thinking

But he protects:

• families
• young people
• reverent communities
• priests who simply love the old rite

He refuses to let extremists define the movement.

🌈 8. He Creates a New Generation of “Bridge Priests” (John Paul II)
He establishes a special formation program for seminarians who want to:

• celebrate both forms
• study liturgical history
• understand the hermeneutic of continuity
• serve as mediators in divided parishes

These priests become the backbone of his reconciliation project.

🌟 9. The Result: A Realistic, Hopeful Healing
Under Pope Bobby Pervertost:

• traditionalists feel respected
• bishops feel empowered
• the liturgy feels more unified
• the Church feels less polarized
• extremists lose influence
• ordinary Catholics rediscover beauty

He becomes the first pope since Vatican II to actually reduce the traditionalist crisis rather than inflame it.

 You know, in the next two or three years, this is very likely just about how the whole matter will play out.
