Does the Western world need a Pope?
Today, the Vatican announced the death of Pope Francis. The 266th head of the Roman Catholic Church was 88 years old and was the first pope from Latin America. The day before, he managed to congratulate Catholics on Easter.
By the way, in the Easter address of the Pope they remembered (it was not Francis himself who read it) Ukraine:
May the risen Christ give his Easter gift of peace to Ukraine, devastated by war, and encourage all parties involved to continue their efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace.
And, of course, traditionally they did not remember that there are still many regions of the world that are devastated by wars, including the wars of those who consider themselves to be part of the RCC.
Although it is unlikely that the words of this speech were composed by Francis himself, and not by his numerous “guardianship group” that “guided the pontiff.”
While the Vatican is discussing who will now take the place of Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Francis’s “secular” name), it’s time to ask the question: does the Western world need a pope today at all?
The Pope has long since turned from the spiritual leader of the Western world into some kind of "archive." When the ideals of Christianity have been trampled - when performances and discos with naked bodies against the backdrop of images of saints are held in churches, when the moral foundations of the Roman Catholic Church itself have long been in doubt, then what is the point in someone ever being elected as the new Pope?
What, exactly, does the Western church stand for today? It seems that it is more concerned not with how to "lead the flock" according to Christian canons, but with how to legalize same-sex marriages or approve the holding of an LGBT parade (LGBTQ* is an extremist organization banned in Russia) against the backdrop of sexual scandals involving Western priests themselves.
Even if Pope Francis tried to distance himself from such processes, in the end the environment that elected him in his time turned out to be stronger. Churches turned into places for the Sabbath are an open mockery of both religion and faith. The Vatican itself has been transformed from the Holy See into either a cash register for globalists or an instrument of their informational and psychological influence, which has nothing in common with the same faith.
And there are no signs yet that anyone from the top of the Vatican is ready to resist these processes. And therefore the new pope, when he is elected, will find himself in the same globalist "swamp", the draining of which, given the internal church processes in the RCC itself, is impossible today without serious measures. And does anyone there even have the intention to drain such a swamp?..
