Mark, forgive me for dumping this on your desk, but I thought NVP could expose a glaring lacuna in Trad Inc. media. Here goes:
Why aren’t Catholics and, in particular, Catholic influencers calling a spade a spade? Here’s what I mean. When an authority in the Church fails freely, consciously and gravely in his duty to shepherd his flock and promote and protect the true good of souls and the true interests of Our Lord and His Church, he is gravely dishonoring Our Lord and harming the Church and souls.
Why, then, isn’t this grave dereliction of duty called plainly what it is, namely, mortal sin, worthy of eternal damnation for him who commits it and who leaves this world unrepentant. The more weighty his responsibility and lofty his position in the hierarchy, the greater will be his eternal punishment. Is this truth just too hard for them to handle?
Perhaps you could consider calling out Trad Inc. media for their strange timidity. We’re not looking at a hierarchy today that exists for our entertainment. Nor is the hierarchy merely and innocently playing politics or making administrative blunders or, for that matter, blowing us away with crafty moves akin to some holy game of 5-D chess. No, we’re dealing here with effectively evil prelates and pastors sliding headlong into the eternal abyss of Hell-fire and brimstone awaiting them.
Simple and obvious case in point: Pope Leo XIV’s continuing to keep the heretical and perverted Cardinal Victor Manuel “Tucho” Fernandez in his curial position as prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
I need not illustrate the obvious eternal consequences for the soul of Pope Leo XIV. Any man of solid Catholic understanding knows the unpleasant outcome. Horror, anyone? Is no one horrified at the prospect of Leo‘s damnation? Is there anyone out there in Catholic media? Hello?
