    Yes, he walks slowly, but all of his movements around the Altar were very precise. He came quite a distance to visit our Church. Stayed about a week in the rectory with our pastor. Apparently the Cardinal had promised our pastor a visit before Covid. So he can to make good on his promise. Like I said, a gem of a man.

    That’s the problem. They aren’t moving out my friend. We have a Pope, so far, who happens to agree with them.

    Give it time. God is aware of everything. God promised to be with His Church until the end.
    It's just not time yet.

    Yes, it’s exactly what we are praying for. In the end her triumph will happen. But in the meantime, it won’t be easy.

    And scripture, theologians, mystics, and Our own beautiful Lady through her apparitions has warned us.

    I would say he is a Saint. I would love to meet him. I would say he is suffering and has suffered very terribly, but he stays the course bless him.

    From a distant relative a Dominican priest who served as a Papal Theologian under Pope Benedict in the Vatican that Benedict was a very quite shy kind of man. An academic who was ill equipped to handle thugs and the wicked..

    I read a report that one Cardinal actually picked poor Pope Benedict up by the scruff of the neck and threw him against a wall. Threatening him. Little wonder Pope Benedict resigned.

    I would say no matter how Holy the next Pope may be it might be good if he is a little bit of a thug.

    Pope St Pius X was a bit of a thug , I think . Someone like himself would be a good idea.:):)
    :D;)
    A good old fashioned thug/ saint. Someone who might bring Fr James Martin in and throw him out the window.

    There are gentle saints and then again there are Saints who are not so gentle. I think the Patron Saint of Thugs would make a Great Pope at the minute.

    A Real Total and Complete Ass kicker.

    Maybe that will be Peter the Roman. We have quite some time still before the “ass kicker” gets here. Revelations has always been about the Catholic Church. She has to go thru the passion of Christ, before the triumph. More to come I’m afraid.

    It such a pile of Maggots. The Church is being eaten up with wickedness within....and at it's very highest levels. Everyday now we hear some new wickedness.

    But what cheers me up and fills me with confidence and joy and hope are the ordinary Catholics I meet at Mass everyday. Also the humble priests and seminarians.

    It just delights me to meet them. Even to look at them from a distance is such a source of joy.

    He’s a gem. In 2012 a friend and I put together a conference on pro life at end of life issues in Kansas City. (I was the chairman of a small national pro life group dedicated to combatting euthanasia and assisted suicide at the time.)

    Cardinal Burke was our keynote speaker and spent the weekend with us. St. Gianna Beretta Molla’s daughter, who was born when the Saint died of pregnancy complications, is a geriatric physician and was on her first visit to the US at the time. She was our other keynote speaker at the conference. Cardinal Burke offered Adoration and Benediction following the conference and my two sons served for him.

    I was and remain impressed with Cardinal Burke, a truly gentle, humble, kind and charitable prince of the Church.

    he is very reminiscent of that motto of Pius XII in St. Malachy's prophecy about the popes: Pastor Angelicus.

    I would love to see him elevated to the papacy.

    However I expect the prophesied Angelic Pope to be someone unknown to us and completely unexpected. I could be wrong but that’s my intuition.

    Yes. I expect him not even to be a priest when chosen.

    I think a layperson was made Pope at Least once before.

    He was Nicolas Breakspeare. The only English Pope ever. He gave Ireland to the English, the devil.

    They own the buildings. But the Church is not buildings. I expect we may all go "underground" at some point. God is permitting this. A painful purification. As searing as the Israelites experienced in the OT.

    Does the man sitting in the temple refer to the antichrist or the false prophet?

    The false prophet paves the way for the Antichrist. It’s the Antichrist that sits in the temple.
