Editor’s Note: This is a classic case of when you abuse your authority, you lose your authority, even if those refusing it are worse than yourself. St. Hildegard of Bingen foretold that the day would come when moral corruption would so take over the Roman Church that the authority of the Bishop of Rome would be rejected everywhere except a few dioceses round about the Eternal City. This has been happening since the French Revolution, but Pope Francis is risking to make it even more evident.
Thank you. I will ask St. Hildegard to help me accept whatever is God’s will for His Church.
