The pope has not bothered to call upon those faithful who love the old rite to speak with them. He has spent less time critiquing the old rite than he has spent belittling that small portion of the faithful who will not go along with his disdain. 

Other churches that have adopted a "Synodal Way" have experienced a loss of membership, a loss of doctrine, and a loss of identity.

While the "Doctrine of Discovery" can be rescinded, the call to evangelize and convert all nations cannot be.

"The flying of [BLM and Pride] flags in front of a Catholic school sends a mixed, confusing and scandalous message to the public about the Church’s stance on these important moral and social issues."

I have read too much, I have beheld too much, I have heard and sung too much. I am a restorationist. I am like someone who knows there are riches around a corner, and I want everyone to come and see. I can’t help it anymore.

Trying to make Catholics believe that any criticism of past fallible Church decisions demonstrates unfaithfulness is gaslighting and should be resisted.

An obscure 19th century French Catholic priest was actually the forerunner for today's Catholic liberalism. Looking back on his life can be instructive for the Church moving forward.
