Liberal Fabiolas Santiago who has "been critical of Trump" said that President Trump "got what he deserved: the cold shoulder" from the Pope. In a article for the Miami Herald Santiago said Francis had a "smiling face" for dictators and a disdainful face for the President, but no "matter how I dislike President Trump... he was democratically elected. " In the article he wrote: I like Pope Francis, but when it comes to strongmen, he plays the hypocrite card..." "But the Cuban and Venezuelan people desperately need his moral authority...

" (Miami Herald, May 26, 2017, "If only Pope Francis treated dictators with the disdain he showed President Trump")

As in the time of Honorius, the Holy See is not vacant and the Catholic Church is still the Church founded by Jesus Christ that will endure until He returns at the end of time. Remember that the Church survived the heresy of Honorius and he was not condemned until after his death. The See didn't become vacant and the Church didn't die. The Catholic Church survived Honorius and will survive Francis. Honorius was not even corrected or even challenged by the bishops of his time. At least, Francis is being challenged and may be corrected. We must pray that the Dubia Cardinals correct the Pope. Most importantly, we must hold on to our God given faith, hope and love/charity. We must pray, do penance, do our daily duty and influence those around us towards God and...
