Whenever I hear the the two interesting words "Austen Ivereigh" I am always drawn to five more interesting words i . e . "Google. Austen Ivereigh. Daily Mail" It's good to read all sides of any issue. Austen Ivereigh is a great fan of Francis and should get to have his say. Probably a pretty decent journalist. He's just the flip side of Voris. Any layman who comes off as super zealous has often got some dark stuff in their past or their closet. They're all entitled to have their say, it makes life interesting, pass the popcorn. Austen certainly seems to get a big charge out of being Head Popesplainer.

Any more toffee-flavoured popcorn there?

Fair enough. But if we had a future "Pope Pius XIII" (use your imagination as to whom that might be) who, let's say, took away similar privileges from Cardinal Hollerich or a cardinal of similar views such as McElroy or one of the German cardinals, would the NCReporter say "oh, he's not being punished"? Would the NCRegister or EWTN get any pushback for making such an assertion? Would Mr Ivereigh be good with it? The question kind of answers itself.

Still waiting to hear about those "canonical penalties"...

"What he can't do is expect the pope he is attacking to subsidize him." "
So how much wealth does Francis have, if by your implication, he is subsidising all and sundry in the Church? Or do you mean "munificent largesse" of funds contributed by the Faithful, much of which was provided by generations of Catholics prior to the 1960`s and who would struggle to recognise this "different Church" that seems to disdain an "Hermeneutic of Continuity"?

Where is my popcorn? How long must I wait for my Butterkist Toffee popcorn? I believe I will need an ample supply of it if this carries on.

My implication? Or the author's?
I know that the Vatican can and does subsidize other clergy. Without access to their books, it's unlikely that anyone can give you numbers.

Is there another thread elsewhere to go harass? I can start a decoy thread with some saucy Lifesite headline if you like: VATICAN SCANDALIZED AS POPE CAUGHT WITH STOLEN BUTTERKIST!

I see no problem with his posts, I enjoy them a lot more than some of the others on here. I would respectfully suggest that if you don’t like a person’s posts, you use the post hiding feature to ignore them instead of accusing regular, known posters of “harassment”. None of us are required to just step off a thread here because somebody else doesn’t like what they post.

For goodness sake, I was making a joke, albeit a somewhat juvenile one. But that's all it was. I Shall go and eat my mince pies quietly with mascarpone.

Bear is not my 'cohort' and neither am I hers. We are far too old to think that way. I'm sure Bear finds such commentary just about as silly as me.

I'd like to ask everyone to play nice, not that you're not doing so, just a reminder.
Let's keep the focus on ideas and not on personalities.
