Mark Lambert takes a look at Francis's latest attack on Traditionalists.

This post follows on from the last one really, prompted by this:
When you have a Pope who ignores problems, promotes abusers, pushes problematic ideas which are at odds with the faith, AND THEN BLAMES TRADS FOR CAUSING DIVISION, you know you have serious, serious problems.
These comments are utterly indefensible, especially in the context of a huge push from progressive commentators and outlets to say the pope promotes homosexuality:
In fact, if you read the Pope's comments, they are (for once) uncontroversial: a "nothing burger" and all the spin is what's making the noise, demonstrating once again that there are people who are perfectly prepared to manipulate the reality to suit their agenda. Both to portray the Catholic Church as somehow at odds with groups of people and to use the pope to further their particular agendas, regardless of how said agendas fit with the saving message of the Gospel.
The Pope's attack on Traditional Catholics is analysed by Robert Nugent in Ireland in this video:
This can be nothing but gaslighting from the pope who engages in all manner of divisive activity in his office: an office the function of which he seems to have no idea about. What creates division? Caring about the Church, putting your faith at the centre of your life and wanting to worship Jesus Christ in the most authentic and beautiful way you can, or this:
When you have Cardinals literally publicly claiming Church teaching is wrong and silence from the Chair of Saint Peter, I think it is perfectly reasonable to consider the Pope's constant attacks on Traditional Catholics constitute a complete misunderstanding of the reality of the Church. How can he throw around accusations of divisiveness at those who simply seek Catholicism?
Pope Francis is beyond parody. His narrative is one of pure ignorance, his supporters can only seek the promotion of their own agenda or perhaps promotion.
This papacy has become utterly risible and the rhetoric of the man at the top is nothing short of a joke.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
