@Salvatore Bastatti - Thank you very much. I always learn alot from your posts and appreciate your imput. I'm only 28 ( as of last November), and maybe it seems odd for someone my age to care so much about the traditions of the Church. I never got them growing up. Neither did my Mom and Dad, both born in 1970. But my grandparents did. My grandmothers on both sides of my family showed my Missals, prayerbooks, prayer cards, etc. they had growing up in Japan (but they spent their young adult years in USA). Even though the Missals are in Latin one side, and Japanese the other, I can read both, and realized from these beautiful prayers all that I missed. While my grandparents had great Popes like Pius XI and Pius XII when they were born and growing up, I had JPII, and all I can remember that he did is travel. My Grandmom calls him "the perpetual tourist".
I don't believe the purge of the "final days". Instead, I think they might do what the Cardinals did in the Middle Ages afew times.....they couldn't find a good candidate for Pope among themselves, to they picked a man who was a very good Bishop who was not a Cardinal yet, or a few times they picked a monk who was not a Caridnal....they quickly consecrated him a Bishop, and then crowned as Pope.
I think the next conclave will take more than 3 days of voting, but in the end, we will be surprised by a CATHOLIC pope, very much opposite to what Bergoglio is.
(I also think maybe...just maybe.... Pope francis own "Traditiones Custodes" is starting to backfire really badly on him and a rising tide of objection to his going after tradition, because now Cardinal Muller and others are trying to blame it all on Archbishop Roche, and a group of liturgists from San Anselmo Benedictine Abbey in Rome (which is fmaous for radical liberal liturgists), who they say influenced Pope Francis to try supressing the Roman Rite. Always it seems when they start pointing fingers at people, they know they are in a bad situation and are trying to cover themselves and lay blame on others. If they were so confident about supressing the Roman Rite, they would'nt be tring to fix blame for it on anyone.
