For years God the Most Holy Trinity has helped renew the Church and speak on our behalf to a Church hierarchy filled with pompous, self-righteous,judgmental, cappa-magna clad, lace-bedecked tools who would rather we all go away. Now, God has sent the Church Pope Francis, and it's time we say thank you.


Please sign the on-line petition and get your friends to do so. It may amuse God, but it will certainly help our friends at RetRorate, trudging down the road to Econe, get over themselves. Theygave us this idea by starting a petitionto thank Cardinal Burke for insulting the Pope and fomenting schism.

The feedback from those tired of the pomp is coming in strong. It is time to drop the lace and recognize the change we have been waiting for.

I was raised Catholic, left the church about eight years ago, and am now Jewish. Last year, a new pope was elected on my birthday. Best birthday present I have ever received. Pope Francis has given me the gift of being able to regard the Church with affection rather than with anger and bitterness. He has allowed me to make peace with a portion of myself that needed peace. I don't believe that Jesus was divine, but I do believe that he had important things to say, and Pope Francis is the only pope in my lifetime who truly follows his teachings.

In January 2013, I was ready to leave the Church - I thought it was going to be impossible for me to stay, with how I was struggling with the obsession of Liberace style over Catholic substance promulgated by the Neotrads. Then, 13 March happened. I was busy, so couldn't see the end of the election live, but when I heard we had a Jesuit pope from Argentina, I cried. Then I found out more about Papa Francis and I cried a lot more - I knew I could STAY. A man of immense compassion and a backbone of steel - we don't always agree, but that's as it should be. What I DO know is that our values: living as Christ would have us live, loving G-d and our neighbour, pastoral care above all else - are deeply aligned. Thank you, Papa.

What did the Knights of Malta do to deserve Burke?
