St. Paul said something similar: that a flock will only listen to a pastor if the members of it think the pastor loves them.

Those who advocate the loudest for racial and social justice often don't practice personal justice.

Martin Luther King Jr. allegedly had sexual relations with at least 40 women, from prostitutes to people within his inner circle, according to explosive new research published by David J. Garrow, one of the civil rights leader’s foremost biographers. wsbradio.com/news/national/…

He was going to brothels habitually. So the number of women he cheated on his wife with is probably closer to 400 than 40.

MLK didn't take his own advice. He cheated on his wife constantly. He spent much of his final years at brothels.

Does acting for justice include exploiting prostitutes, as MLK did?

Is Broglio proposing MLK for sainthood? If so, that is ridiculous. Yes, he made fine civil rights statements, but he was also a participant at exploitative orgies at brothels (read liberal David Garrow's book on this matter) and hired a staff of communists.

Yes, Bergogloio baldly lied when he said Benedict issued Summorom Pontificom as a sop to the elderly. No, Benedict issued it to give all Catholics access to the Church's venerable liturgical patrimony.

Here is another part of the Francis effect: driving Catholics into the arms of conservative Protestant groups.

If you want to strengthen your pro-life convictions, don't go to a rich country, go to a poor one and see the inoccence on the faces of children like this one.

And Bergoglio, to his eternal shame, has empowered his tormentors.

Here is an example of true Catholic fidelity.

Thank you, George. It needs saying.

George Weigel confidently says that Pell was totally innocent. But how would Weigel know? I withheld judgment because it is impossible to referee the claims. At the same time I wondered about them. Were they a grand conspiracy against Pell? Or were some of the charges true?

The Hotel Sofitel has become my refuge from the madness in Abidjan.

Well said George

FrancisChurch is a flop. Here is a picture of the 9am Mass at St. Paul's Cathedral in Abidjan. I spoke to the presiding priest before Mass. He was in complete denial about the crisis and said that Islam is only stronger than Christians because of 'immigrants.'

I had a soft spot for Ratzinger, but this talk of making him a saint is ridiculous. History will see him as a kind and gentlemanly man and a modernist mugged by reality who sized up the Church's crisis pretty accurately. But a saint? No, his disastrous abdication precludes that.
