The Next Pope? Here Is His Name
The Cardinals already have their man for the next pope, a high placed source told Gloria.tv.
They won't say anything specific about who he is, but - in private - they confirm that they have selected him.
If asked by a journalist, they will toss out some name who doesn't have a chance. The source did not explicitly name the candidate to Gloria.tv but spent a long time praising one man.
This man was Cardinal Robert Sarah who turned 77 on June 15.
Doubtlessly, Sarah would be an outstanding choice. He became an archbishop at 34, had a long experience as a diocesan bishop in very difficult circumstances (22 years), a long Curial experience (20 years), has published nine books, and … comes from Francis’ beloved “peripheries.”

Motu Proprio Abolishing Summorum Pontificum WORSE than expected
Francis published on July 16 the Motu Proprio with the sarcastic title Traditionis Custodes (Guardians of Tradition) on the use of the Roman liturgy prior to the 1970 "reform."
It was released only in Italian and *English*. Francis decrees the falsehood that Paul VI' Novus Ordo - which is no "rite" but a jumble of liturgical experiments - is the "unique expression" of the Roman Rites, thus contradicting Benedict's idea of two forms of the Roman Rite.
From now on, it belongs again to the diocesan bishop - as it was before Summorum Pontificum - to dictate the liturgical celebrations of his diocese, and it is “his exclusive competence to authorise the use of the 1962 Roman Missal in his diocese.”
The bishop must determine that Old Rite Catholics “do not deny the validity and the legitimacy of the [failed] liturgical reform, dictated by Vatican Council II.”
He can designate one or more locations where the Old Rite faithful may …

Vatican's Nativity Scene Causes Hilarity (Video)
Twitter-Commentators make fun about a Nativity Scene from the 1960s which was put up in Saint Peter's Square on December 11.
The scene includes an astronaut. Some asked whether this is Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon.
Deacon Nick Donnelly calls the crib “The Hideous Strength personified” noting influences from old idolatrous cults: "Indigenous idolatry really does have a hold over the Vatican doesn't it?".
For EWTN’s Raymond Arroyo the scene is “worse than advertised.” He detects in it Baby Yoda emerging from the Fisher-Price space man figurine.
Francis Rocca suspects that the Nativity Scene could turn out to be the most talked-about since the one of 2009 which cost €550,000.
For Damian Thompson the Vatican has given Pachamama a *fabulous* makeover for their Xmas Special.
