Cardinal Hollerich is the Realtor General for the Synod on Synodality. His support for women's ordination should automatically disqualify him from all Church offices, and he should be confined to a cell to do penance for the remainder of his life.

Euthanasia is routinely offered to Canadian seniors unsolicited. Muriel says she was offered MAID: •By her family doctor •By a specialist •By a funeral home  “This is almost being advertised and promoted,” she told me. How do you think this makes seniors feel?

My Prime Minister didn’t insult her with some tasteless Pearl Harbor joke. Instead he impressed her with his ability to speak Japanese.

Do your own ecclesial leaders share the same Faith and believe in the same deity as you do? Are you sure? On what basis OTHER than shared visible institution do you say this. Consider three leaders of the same Christian institution, in sequence: The first kisses a Koran. This is poor optics at minimum, and sacrilege if performed by a consecrated successor of the Apostles, but it proves nothing about the institution itself. It may be sentimentalism, diplomatic theatre, or simple syncretist confusion. We note it and move on. The second venerates a figure later identified as a demon goddess who, in her own cultic tradition, accepts human sacrifice. This man is, by most accounts, theologically shallow and drawn to dramatic gesture. The same judgment applies, sacrilege for a consecrated person, but potentially explicable as ignorance or naivety. We give him the benefit of the doubt his office no longer seems to demand. The third venerates the same figure. He is not theologically shallow. He holds advanced degrees. He knows the tradition, knows precisely what he is doing and what category of act it represents. The charitable explanation that served for the second leader is no longer available. At what point do three data points become a trajectory? This is the honest question. If we are watching an institution whose consecrated leadership repeatedly performs acts that, in any prior century, would have been classified as apostasy or at minimum grave public sacrilege, we are entitled to ask whether these are personal failings or whether they reveal the telos (trajectory, the destination) of an institution that has been rebuilt around new foundations while retaining the trappings of the old. A religion that few of its own members believe in congruently, with doctrinal seriousness, led by men who perform acts its own tradition has always condemned, moving in a consistent direction across multiple pontificates, at some point the data speaks. Calling that observation anti-Catholic is a category error. It is the most Catholic thing one can do: to hold the Faith above the institution when the institution has departed from the Faith. The shroud tore... Can you be in communion with the Abrahamic Family House and still believe Christ is a True King, and True God?

Some will overlook idolatry in the hope of access to an "approved" Traditional Latin Mass.
