Here is Francis, confusing everyone again. It's YOU, who loathes the Traditions. It's YOU who can't wait to tear up the Sacred Magesterium and rebuild it in a style that Lucifer has been hoping will be done for 2000 odd years! So with whom are you comparing St Padre Pio? He knew that God's Laws must be submitted to, and aped the Canonised Saints to ensure he made the grade. Day by day, year by year, he submitted to the authoritative teaching of the Church as it had been handed down to him through countless generations.. HE'S a Canonised Saint because of it!
Guess what.....we're living at a time when Even Pope BORGIA looks good in retrospect - because for all his personal sins, (if he had them.......they're not sure anymore. They say we've probably been unjustly accusing him as it has been a black legend or something mean like that- Blimmin Protestants!) - Yet countless years on, it is clear that Pope Borgia heldfast to the Traditions, respected all that had been handed down to him from posterity - Pope Borgia, they say REJOICED in the Faith, and did not DARE to change a thing as it would anger God!
Pity you all there at the moment, can't do the same !
[14] Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the
traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our Epistle. " 2 Thessolonians 2
PS If you look at the top of the 2 Epistle of St Paul to the Thessolonians there is some sage advice......we can ALL learn from it
[3] Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come
a revolt first, and
the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
[4] Who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth
in the temple (Vatican) of God, shewing himself as if he were God.
[5] Remember you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
