Unlike here in the USA, where there are no real towns or villages anymore, but just continual suburban sprawl which blend into everything as one great mass, there are spate Italian towns and villages. This one she teaches at has 1,100 people, three churches, a Cistercian monastery, and her own convent school. Mass attendance is about 20% which is ashame. But at the one Church which also offers the Tridentine Latin Mass, attendance at that one Mass is always packed to the doors and out onto the step!<br />The Cistercian monastery used to have 40 monks, before VaticanII (Casamari Congregation of Cistercian monks.)But now they have only 12. Her own convent school has 14 sisters (21 before Vatican II), and a good enrollment which basically has not changed ince before Vatican II (130 boys an girls of the village and the surrounding little farms, etc).<br />But the point is that, as there are rumblings of discontent among the Italian bishops regarding Pope Francis and his people, and in Poland, and other countries, including among many bishops here in the USA, people of the village likewise are very unconfortable about this Pope. A good 85% of the people actually dislike him.....but they loved Benedict XVI and of course, JP II. Many still have memories of Pius XII, and there are still portraits of him in churches,houses, and in my friends convent.<br />The town is about 15 miles from Castel Gandolfo, which is further down from Rome. There, the people actually hate Pope Francis....literally.<br />So the disquiet isn't just among bishops. In Italy, Poland and elsewhere...the people actually hate him.<br />Most of the crowds he's getting in Poland are for the Wolrd Youth Day anyway, not the locals as much as before.<br />Maybe the bad fall Francis took at the Shrine of Our Lady of Czechtowa was a sign that not only is the Lord and the Blessed Virgin not pleases with this man....but that his days as Pope are almost over. There were some commentators who took his tumble at the Shrine as an omen. As well as the pouring rain.<br />Damian Malliapalli<br />Damian MalliapalliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-10599692295180204312016-07-29T23:30:45.630-07:002016-07-29T23:30:45.630-07:00Poland still understands that the Church Christ ha...Poland still understands that the Church Christ handed down is what allows on to be free, and not a slave to one's own sinful passions.Tartarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-9290355920014762622016-07-29T14:30:34.336-07:002016-07-29T14:30:34.336-07:00It's so pathetically funny.
