Coincidence? As “Walking Together” smolders, rooms at Castel Gandolfo burn

It assuredly seems obvious to many who are paying attention that a great deal of effort of this pontificate has gone to overturning and erasing the pontificates of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Just for examples: John Paul Institute on Marriage and Family… Summorum Pontificum.

As the “Walking Together on Walking Togetherity” slouches on with escalating signs that the entirely expected attempts on the Church’s moral teachings would ramp up, I find it interesting, in an “O my prophetic soul” sort of way, that a fire broke out at the papal palace at Castel Gandolfo and damaged rooms used by John Paul and Benedict… where Francis would not go.

Il diavolo non può nascondere la coda.

    Epically symbolic! The synod fiddles while Rome burns.

    Regarding the synod escalating toward addressing moral teachings, there seems to be a lot of active straining than there is slouching.

    I don’t know why, but I find this heartbreaking.

    Old Scratch can’t contain himself. Good sign WT is not working.

    Beyond a shadow of a doubt this fire was the result of climate change! Everyone from the synod should walk home and crisps the seas by sailboat.

    … or it could have been covid (unless that’s no longer fashionable, of course).
