What Francis and now Leo have done to many serious Catholics is force them into a state of continual cognitive dissonance. Men and women who actually know the Faith, the Church’s past, her liturgy, her theology, and her moral teaching, are told to accept as Catholic things that plainly conflict with what Catholics were always taught to revere, believe, and defend. That strain falls most heavily on the intellectually serious and the sincere. The nominal Catholic adapts without much pain. The papal apologist rationalizes whatever Rome does because his livelihood or his psychology depends on it. Trad Inc. goes quiet, exhausted, content to preserve a shrinking refuge while the larger structure burns. Meanwhile, ordinary conservative Catholics remain unaware of the full scale of the crisis because the people who should be warning them either minimize it or refuse to report it honestly. And so the contradiction deepens. For many, knowledge of the crisis becomes almost a curse, because once you see it, you cannot unsee it. In the end, the tension usually resolves in one of two directions: either a person gives up on Catholicism altogether, or he clings more firmly to Tradition and begins to say openly what the crisis means.

Nick Cavazos, a former co-founder of Pelican Plus, announces he is still Catholic but is open to "other traditions". This means he is doubting Catholicism, or ready to doubt it, which means he does not have the virtue of Faith: youtube.com/watch?v=eSQNGu Here we can abstract from

A Hour which will Live in Infamy: 10:01pm November 3, 2020

10:01pm November 3, 2020, a hour which will live in infamy, the United States of America presidential electoral integrity was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the Democrat Machine and some corrupt collaborators within the Republican Party. It will be recorded that "under the pretense of COVID, executive branch officials across a number of key battleground states violated election procedures passed by the legislative branches of those states in a number of ways that opened up the process to fraud on a massive scale, never before seen in the history of this country" which makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks before. During the time before and after the attack the Democrat Machine and its corrupt collaborators in the Media have deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.  The attack on United States has caused severe damage to the Ameri...

Could Francis be an Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?

Is it possible for someone to be an antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope? The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope. In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II. How is this possible? St. Bernard said "the 'sanior pars' (the wiser portion)... declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for A...

If Francis is a Heretic, What should Canonically happen to him?

Did Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the future Pope Benedict XVI) say that Francis is a heretic ?   On June 3, 2003 the then Cardinal Ratzinge r (and future Pope Benedict) , head of the Congregation for the Faith, said that the endorsement of  " homosex civil unions" was against Catholic teaching, that is heterodoxy : "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimatization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil... The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions ." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Considerations Regarding Proposals to give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons," June 3, 2003) Gloria.tv reported: " Francis made on October 21 his latest declaration in sup...
