‘Gay Doesn’t Matter’ Remark Continues ‘Shadow Magisterium’
COMMENTARY: It would be better if comments reportedly made by the Pope in private remained in private, not splashed around the world by news media. (Meaning, PROTECTIVE Commentary-Bergoglio could say whatever comes out of his mouth and Catholic’s should look the other way? – To the world this man represents Christ. And to this day, Jesus Christ is still scrutinized. But don’t scrutinize Francis. He’s above reproach).
“Juan Carlos, that you are gay doesn’t matter,” he said Francis told him. “God made you like this and loves you like this, and it doesn’t matter to me. The Pope loves you like this; you have to be happy with who you are.” MORE

(pope) Francis cardinals make up almost half of electors of next pope
Pope Francis continues to remake the College of Cardinals so that almost half of the men who will pick his successor have been chosen by him. He will create 14 new cardinals on June 29, 11 of whom are under 80 years of age and therefore able to vote in a papal conclave.
These 11 new cardinals are added to the 48 electors already appointed by Francis to make 47 percent of the cardinal electors who will choose the next pope. Remaining among the 125 electors are 47 appointed by Pope Benedict XVI and 19 appointed by St. John Paul II. MORE

Protecting our school Children
America is once again reeling from yet another deadly mass shooting. The victims at Santa Fe High School were taken from us too soon, and the prayers of Texas and the nation are with their families. There is something especially haunting about a killer targeting a school, where parents send their children on the assumption that they will be safe as they learn. Experience is a hard teacher, and with 2018’s second major school shooting behind us, its lesson is clear: We must secure our schools. MORE
