I'm glad I found someone else talking about the bombshell from Leo. I had suspected that he was a brilliant genius, perhaps a saint, who was using language to reverse to Marxist infiltration in the same way it happened, by ascribing a different meaning to words from what they intended, a more orthodox meaning, so as to unite the 2 sides of the Church and bring peace.

I see his statement about Francis as being imprudent presumption and also there are many effects from it, disharmony, distrust, fear. I wonder how the Chinese Catholics feel about Francis being in heaven?

He didn't answer the dubia or claims he didn't believe in hell or whatever, he caused confusion, he made a mess.

It was disappointing to realise a different man to the one I had imagined. It was the perfect opportunity to get things back on track.

What does the Church teach about canonisation as an infallible act?

It was quite a short honeymoon. I wonder how the enthusiasts will spin LXIV’s inaugural address, which could have been delivered by any liberal Protestant bishop anywhere at any time.
