The Wuhan corononavirus has sealed the fate of the Catholic Church, but not its Faith. Marred by scandal since the Middle Ages, not because of married popes and priests who were many, and with children, but welcomed in the Cenacle or first Christian churches, like St. Peter the Apostle who is considered the first pope, (because celibacy was never a dogma even to this day, and became a Catholic church doctrine later,) but rather due to lascivious popes and priests (some of them were practicing gay lords,) or those who abused their powers as Absolute Monarchs, which brought about the Reformation.
Gone were the days when the pope just had to draw a line on the map, and divide it into two hemispheres in order to give the monarchs of Spain and Portugal their fair share to explore, who were both subservient to his wishes, just like the rest of the Christian world, for being the Vicar of Christ, or the representative on earth of Jesus Christ (God the Son in the Holy Trinity of One God,) who was both revered as an Absolute Monarch, and cannot make any mistakes, or was infallible while speaking ex cathedra when it came to Faith and Morals.
But why would Pope Francis give up on this title, which is where the pope derived its power through the Ages? Granted that the Office does not have the same power today compared to the Middle Ages, and revived only temporarily during the reign and zeal of St. John Paul II the Great, who was the real person, or power, behind President Reagan in bringing the Soviet Union, and Berlin Wall down, with the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe, but wouldn't the disregard for the title of the Vicar of Christ do more harm than good to the papacy, which has lost its illustrious grandeur, after Pope Francis got sued for Vatican's cover up of clergy child sexual abuse, and (like his previous predecessors) cuddled up, or put Cardinal McCarrick on a pedestal, who turned out to be not only a sexual abuser of seminarians, but also a pedophile?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the United States of America is the most litigious country in the world; and its lawyers will not stop suing the pope and the Vatican no matter how much the State of the Vatican and its Head of State & Government, or the Pope, denies that it has committed any cover up because of the autonomous status of every Diocese and its Bishop or Cardinal all over the US, as long as the tiny Vatican City-State is still worth $19 billion dollars in assets, after having paid already billions of dollars to credible victims of clergy sexual abuse.
These lawyers neither did care about the biggest provider of free food and services to the poor around the world through the the prestigious Catholic Charities, which is the most transparent, honest, and biggest charitable organization in the world run effectibly by the Catholic Church; nor were bothered by the fact that the Vatican's income, properties, and investments were nothing compared to Mormon or Evangelical Christian organizations, other countries, companies, and religions such as Muslims and Scientologists, as long as the Catholic Church is weakened, first and foremost, by the biggest scandal or sexual abuse of children by priests, bishops & cardinals that rocked the whole world, and now by this coronavirus pandemic; while the Bishop of Rome, is more interested in climate change, politics, and appeasing other world religions, including paganism.
Maybe Pope Francis is more attuned to his role as Head of State and Government as a political figure, rather than as Vicar of Christ; hence, he defended China's religious policy by establishing diplomatic relations with them, and agreed with the Chinese Communist Party to appoint the bishops and priests in the Catholic Churches in China based on who they liked, and not the ones ordained by bishops who were obedient to the Catholic Church in Rome, based on the teaching of the Catholic Church and Gospel of Jesus Christ, which by the way, were lacking in Pope Francis's pronouncements and propagation, compared to his political and environmental views. No wonder the Chinese authorities didn't have any qualms in removing the Crosses on top of Christian churches, while the real underground Catholic Chinese bishops protested, and went to the Vatican, who couldn't do anything either. And, I'm sure that Pope Francis was aware even before hooking up with Communist China, that some of those priests who celebrated Mass were fake and being politicized or chosen by China, and that the largest country in the world according to population has more atheists, or people who didn't believe in God, all 90% of them, and almost 1.3 billion people.
Is it possible that this pandemic which closed our churches up to now, came about because most of us, including some priests, don't believe anymore in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, and the intercession of Blessed Virgin Mary, who are the two anchors or pillars of the Catholic Church; and that this coronavirus is a wake-up call from Jesus Christ Himself, because we have lost or doubted our Faith?
Anyway, a survey of people around the world showed that most of us believe in aliens, social justice, and the Green Party, than in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, the Good News of the Gospels, or an afterlife of Heaven or Hell. And throughout this lockdown, which is still ongoing for many people, especially in the Catholic Church, where a number of priests died from this pandemic, did you notice how grim were the faces of the Holy Mass celebrants, no matter where they were, but most especially Pope Francis?
Are we not supposed to be thankful and joyous in every Mass because we're Easter people, and Jesus Christ is risen from the dead? What do you think?
(TO BE CONCLUDED...)
