Pope Francis "Can Get Very Angry“
The German Vaticanista Ulrich Nersinger has learned that Pope Francis can get "very angry.”
Nersinger told t-online.de (March 27) that he had contact with someone in Francis' "inner circle.”
This person always carries with him a drug in order to improve the blood circulation along – for himself, not for Francis “because the person does not know how the Pope will react or what he will say.”
Nersinger describes Francis as relatively "impervious to advise" and "erratic."

Polish Seminaries Undermined by "Progressive" Theology
The Church crisis did not go past Poland, Arkadiusz Stelmach, vice-president of the Krakow Institute Piotr Skarga, said at a press conference in Rome (February 20).
Stelmach reports that "progressive" theology is widespread in Polish seminaries.
An initiative of Polish Catholics collected 150,000 signatures in favor of the indissolubility of marriage but was ignored by the bishops.
Anti-Catholic propaganda through films and theatre performances is strong and has the support of the oligarchs media.
Left-wing political circles with ties to the former Polish communists, work on staging an anti-Catholic Revolution like in Ireland.
When asked how the Viganò revelations were received in Poland, Stelmach answered:"Not at all." The media ignored them.

Pope Francis Ready To Abolish Celibacy
Pope Francis is willing to allow “older” married men to be ordained to the priesthood where there is a "pastoral necessity", a trick-term by which in the modern Church almost anything can be allowed.
During his flight from Panama back to Rome (January 28), Francis said that he was "not in agreement" with making celibacy optional, only to add that abolishing celibacy "is a thing to think about when there is a pastoral necessity."
He mentioned areas of the world like the Pacific Islands and the Amazon region where Catholics are deprived of the Eucharist,
"I believe that the issue must be open in this sense: where there is a pastoral problem because of the lack of priests."
It is obvious that a married priesthood cannot be reduced to certain geographical areas nor to certain ages.

Church Titanic Is Drowning While Francis Sits Before Blessed Sacrament
Pope Francis presided on Saturday night at the Panama World Youth Day an adoration. He again refused to kneel before the Blessed Sacrament. Instead, he sat aside on a chair.
The monstrance used was made of two parts, a beautiful representation of Our Lady holding the Blessed Sacrament between her hand. It was placed on two ugly and very disturbing “legs”.
During the adoration sentimental pop music with religious texts was played. The style was comparable to Celine Dion’s song “My Heart Will Go On” which was compiled for the film “Titanic” (video below).

Burke: Francis Must Respond To Dubia Questions
“The Dubia must have a response,” Cardinal Raymond Burke said in Rome at a press conference in remembrance of the first anniversary of Cardinal Caffarra's death, one of the four Dubia cardinals (September 6).
Burke pointed out that such a response is "simple": "Yes or no. That’s all. It’s not complicated.”
He recalled Caffarra’s “profound sadness” over Francis’s silence and asked the question whether Caffarra's pain contributed to his death.

Bishop Schneider, Lefebvre Had "Prophetic Mission"
The more the doctrinal, moral and liturgical confusion grows in the Church, the more one will understand “the prophetic mission” of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (+1991) according to Bishop Athanasius Schneider. Archbishop Lefebvre founded the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) which engages in preserving Catholic Doctrine and Liturgy.
Talking to Edward Pentin (January 11), Schneider calls the last decades “an extraordinary dark time of a generalized crisis of the Church”.
Edward Pentin published the question about the SSPX on his personal blog excluding it from the interview with Schneider which he published on the National Catholic Register. This could foreshadow rising problems between Pentin and his neoconservative employer EWTN to which the Register belongs.

Cardinal Zen “Lined Up In The Cold” To Meet Francis
Retired Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen flew from Hong Kong to Rome in order to deliver in “a secret mission” a letter on behalf of Chinese [underground] Catholics to Pope Francis.
Although he is a Cardinal, Zen has no direct access to Francis.
Therefore the 86-year-old Cardinal had to "line up in the cold" at the General Audience on Wednesday with other petitioners to deliver the letter to Francis, Taiwan News (January 25) writes. Francis promised Zen "to read" the letter.

Argentinean Bishops: Francis More Important than Jesus Christ - by José Arturo Quarracino
In a recent interview Bishop Athanasius Schneider warned about the problem of papolatry in the Church, an attitude that exalts the figure of the bishop of Rome while ignoring Jesus Christ: "The focal point of the life of a Catholic believer must be Christ", not the Pope. "If not," said the Kazakh bishop, "we become victims of an unhealthy papacy-centrism."
The recent visit of Pope Francis to Chile showed, that papolatry is a problem in Argentina. When speaking to journalists about Francis’ journey to Chile, Bishop Oscar Vicente Ojea, president of the Argentine Bishops, exalted the figure and "message" of Francis, "One fears the Pope's leadership, and his ability to bring people together around his ideas and his figure," Ojea said on January 21 to the newspaper Página/12.
The striking thing is that Ojea did not make any reference to Jesus Christ, but only and exclusively to Francis and to his ideas …
