Triors was founded by the Roman Rite Benedictine Fontgombault Monastery. Benedict's address was published on LaNef.net (December 1). The monastery has 43 monks. Blancon was elected in November 2021.
Benedict XVI expresses his understanding that Blancon is “somewhat apprehensive about the big task” that awaits him because of his young age, “especially since I myself have had a similar experience.” Ratzinger was appointed Munich Archbishop at the age of 49.

To do that, would cause a tremndous backlash against hom, his associates, and his "synodal Church)

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
Our Lady of Good Success of the Purification, pray for us!

@Just me So true, that is why Our Lady of Fatima is the "Lightning Rod!" for dispelling this diabolical darkness of souls! If we but, to our best ability, follow her requests, then viola! Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
