  3. Let's start praying that the Holy Spirit inspires the selection of a good man to replace him despite the Pope's preferring people like Cupich and Tobin and being advised by a Congregation filled with men who shill for homosexuals.

    For readers interested in knowing how bishops are selected check out this at the USCCB website.

    BUT...let's not forget that he may be in Purgatory and in need of our prayers, sacrifices, and Masses offered for him!!

  5. Absolutely, Ademar, I'm having a Mass said for the repose of his soul. A priest once told me, "There's no one deader than a dead priest" because he has no immediate family to pray for him. So let's act like true children of a spiritual father and pray him quickly into heaven if he isn't there already.
