rewrite the education system and enforce it on all Catholic schools to ensure they do not compromise with moral teachings and issues; excommunication for those who fail to comply laicization and/or excommunication of religious and clergy who have been proven guilty of grave, manifest sin(s) beyond a reasonable doubt ecumenical council specifically for modern digital-age issues (ad blockers, piracy, privacy, online platforms and their content, contemporary cartoons/anime, parenting and child rearing in the technological context, etc.) Commission all Novus Ordo-only parishes to set up a schedule for TLM and/or other Latin forms (Ordinariate, Mozarabic, Ambrosian) at least on Sundays
I would love for him to pick one of those random Catholic African men to only then realize that he doesn't know any Latin, never seen a pipe organ, never even heard Gregorian chant, claps and dances during Mass with the whole congregation; basically that the Church in Africa is pretty much Orthodox but also super charismatic. I remember once when my parish had an African priest celebrate Mass at our Church, he picked up the chalice with one hand out in front of himself, looked out at us in the pews while saying the words of concecration off by heart, acting in Persona Christi, and had a look of conviction while saying those words that I have never seen before or since. Super charismatic and super Orthodox.
The walking through Africa and picking random catholic men part was so unbelievably based 😂. Imagine anyone trying to claim the church is racist after that.
For my name I would humbly choose pope infallible. The first orders of business would be to restore the office of his holy inquisition, tell the Germans to get in line or get excommunicated, and purge everyone in the hierarchy connected to Theodore McCarrick like activities. Then we would doubtless need some new bishops, and I would attempt to recruit those from traditional orders and as Mat suggested random charismatic but orthodox men from Africa. In terms of a Marshall restoration the order of Saint John is still around and could with a large recruitment drive and donations be tasked with defending Christendom in Africa.
I would name myself pope Samson and have pontifical papers on ways to make bodybuilding a way to grow in virtue. P.S and I make all the images of the saints more muscular.
How is it? Do I remain Catholic as long as the Pope says what I consider correct? Why fear the Synod? We don't have faith that the Holy Spirit acts or do we want to confine him to act within our parameters? I am not a traditionalist, nor am I a liberal, I believe that the struggle and the continuous ups and downs between these two groups is alienating many people from the Catholic Church. I never forget that the etymological definition of the word Devil is: "who separates and divides".
" Holy Spirit acts or do we want to confine him to act within our parameters? uh no not our parameters but God's based His revelation not the morals as dictated by the world, which is what this Synod wants. To empty to the Church of its Divine content so men like Bergoglio and his crowd can reinvent doctrine based the whims of the world. I pray for an uprising by the Laity erases the last 60 years of novelty and reform
My first actions as next pontiff 1) The raising of the TLM to the Apostolic Constitution so it can never be abrogated. 2) the immediate regularization of the Society of Pius X and raise their bishops to Cardinals 3) the complete suppression of the Jesuits, confiscation of the their properties to be redistributed the poor and traditional orders. 4) Place the Church in Germany under interdict. 5) Issue a loyalty to oath to Catholic Universities or lose Catholic Affiliation. 6) The immediate arrest and imprisonment of the St. Gallen Mafia 7) Remove Cdls. Cuspich, Tobin, Gregory, McElroy and O'Malley from the Dioceses. 8) Rename the Dicastery of Doctrine of Faith back to the Holy Office of the Inquisition 9) End Catholic -Jewish dialogue and return to sicut Judeus non 10) The purging of the all those in rainbow crowd from every ranks of the clergy and chancery offices.
IF I WERE POPE, I WOULD REWRITE HISTORY, AND, MAKE IT WHERE PEOPLE WHO ARE BORN PHYSICALLY DISABLED, WOULD BE PUT IN CHARGE OF EVERY BUILDING PROJECT THERE EVER WAS!
If it’s any consolation, despite me being eligible, you’re going to spend the exact same number of days as pope as me and all my male friends combined.
Sell papal tiara. Feed more poor. Open a centre for woman who want to abort their children, love them and help them realise they were made for greater things, financially support them and their child, help them get back on their feet and embrace virtue and self dignity. Keep mass solid. Evangelise by helping secular people realise they are all made for greater things.
