The Church Is Not Ruled by a Plebiscite

Sin does not grow sweet by majority practice; truth is not altered by a vote. The Church is not a political party.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

true that "truth is not altered by a vote"......but francis it seems does not have the expertise of St John Paul II or Benedict XVI or come to mention it.....other popes?.....

The Deposit of Faith cannot be changed by a pope....this is something that has been brought to francis ' attention over and over again by cardinals, canon lawyers, etc

Removing them and creating a new majority of cardinals that have less expertise in the field so as to get their vote only furthers his agenda and does him no credence.

The image of francis now is that of a (gosh should i say it)......better not....out of respect for the office
