In this barn-burner episode, Art and Ann are joined by NonVeni Mark and Dr. Mazza for a wide-ranging conversation about the upcoming Conclave, its validity, historical precedents, possible nefarious dark horse candidates, and cautious optimism and faith in the visibility and continuity of Jesus Christ’s Holy Church, outside of which there is no salvation.
To every Cardinal, Prelate, and Cleric who has spent the last twelve years repeating incessantly, “We just have to wait for Bergoglio to die…”, a weary world cries out in unison the immortal words of Judge Elihu Smails:

Good podcast.
With this conclave, not only am I willing to let The Holy Spirit work during it, I am willing to sit back, and let the Holy Spirit work AFTER it too.
I gave bergoglio that benefit of the doubt when he first came on the scene, and I will do the same to whoever else comes out of this conclave.
As an aside, I think that the Papal name that would send the most shockwaves not only through the College of Cardinals, but the entire Church isn’t “Pius XIII” “Leo XIV” or “Nicholas.”
Imagine the newly elected Pope is asked by what name he’ll be called, and he then says:
“ Franciscus… Primus”
It is always amusing how after warning the ‘wait for his death’ crowd that we need to deal with Franky ASAP, right now and not later, and they still insist on later, that when later comes, it also brings more built-up complications that anyone with a brain could’ve foretold, which drives them into even more despair.
I expect the prophecy of Cardinal against Cardinal / bishop against bishop to become apparent. And this would be a good sign, as it means that somebody in there cares enough to fight and not just quickly end the conclave with any compromised or interim do-nothing candidate.
