Best of Times, Worst of Times

The Catholic Church is being led in a disastrous direction by Pope Francis with his synodal madness. his ambiguity and so many other destructive actions and ideas. Francis has so emphasized perversion with his support of homosexuality, including his blessings of so-called same-sex couples. Francis has brought pachamamas into St. Peter's Basilica and has essentially neutralized Catholic teaching on sexuality and has wrought so much more devastation. We are at one of the lowest points in the history of the Catholic Church with Francis at the helm and so many of his ilk who are now bishops.
However, at the same time, it has been reported this week that the number one podcast in the world on New Years Day is the Rosary in a Year with Father Mark Mary Ames. He is with Ascension Press that also does Father Michael Schmitz's Bible in a Year and Catechism in a Year. And the Latin Mass continues to flourish around the world, with many young people and families attending. Francis is trying to shut down the Latin Mass. He seems to be for evil and against good.
Also Bible sales in the U.S. have increased 40 percent. SO many good signs of a reawakening, but unfortunately, most of the hierarchy, including Francis are trying to stand in the way of the Catholic Church being the true Catholic Church.
