With the reign of Francis the Merciful drawing to a close, I also fear one final, treacherous act: the abrogation of Benedict XVI’s motu proprio Summorum Pontificum. With the traditional Latin Mass safely returned to the dustbin of history, and sodomy accepted as completely natural, the next pope can begin his reign. Who might that next pope be?

Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination hearings were an embarrassing and degrading spectacle for America. They were ugly, they were painful and they were shameful.
