definitely not "ordinary"

it will be an amazing and extraordinary one

the conclave has realised the harm of the bergoglio pontificate
clearly there were doubtful and alarming changes wanting to be put in place
and those who alerted to him that its beyond the powers of the pope, were
either removed or sent to far off places, some even excommunicated.

The conclave has gone back to voting for a new pope who is a professor, canon lawyer
so will know the ins-and-outs of his limits and what he can and cannot do as Pope

Our Leo is a humble and spiritual man on top of that brilliance.

Can you see what the conclave has decided......they've gone back to someone
who exhibits similar traits to our beloved Pope Benedict XVI

may he rest in eternal peace
His brilliance shines on through the numerous literature he has written
which is endorsed by top theologians and scholars and used in seminaries
to train our up and coming priests.

it will be interesting to see what francis said in his final "autobiography"
there were snippets released that insinuated he admitted was used as a pawn to avoid Card. Ratzinger, the obvious favourite from becoming pope....
that failed....Card Ratzinger became our beloved Pope Benedict XVI
but then....hmmmm the conspiracy theories continue how Pope Benedict was forced to resign
we can but speculate

but anyone knowing Pope Benedict would not buy that he resigned on his terms
that means he was coerced and canon law has something to say about that

I wont be purchasing the autobiog but when it comes out free i will check into that statement of francis' that he was used.
there is a post on semperfi about it.
