Nine Months Ago: Cardinal Prevost Defends Francis' Judas Heresy
In an evening talk on August 7, 2024, at St. Jude Parish in New Lenox, Illinois, Cardinal Robert Prevost heaped praise on Francis - whom he has known for a long time, including as Archbishop of Buenos Aires (video sequence below).

Then it says, “I will return to the home I came from.” But on arrival, finding it unoccupied, swept and tidied, it then goes off and collects seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and set up house there, so that the man ends up by being worse than he was before. This is what will happen to this evil …culturewars.com
I still pity him, perhaps because of my own struggles with hetero lust. He had a lot of good things to say and I found his talk, "Meet James" was quite a reality check.
