[Michie]

The Archdiocese of Toledo, Spain, has demanded that two priests apologize for comments they made “that harm the communion of the Church and scandalize the people of God.”

The priests had asked the viewers of their YouTube program to pray that Pope Francis “can go to heaven as soon as possible.”

In a statement posted on its website, the archdiocese expressed its “profound rejection of any manifestation of disaffection toward the person and ministry of the Holy Father.”

The Archdiocese of Toledo also stated that it was “not responsible at all for the statements made” by the priests on the YouTube channel “La Sacristía de la Vendée” (“The Sacristy of the Vendée”), where the controversial comments were made.

The elephant in the room needs to be addressed. And that is that pope Francis is profoundly different, out of line frequently with Catholic teaching. Sure it’s rude to pray for the pope to die. But we shouldn’t even have these sorts of pope problems to even want a new pope. Pope Francis is failing us. It’s rude to pray that he die, but how else to fix the problem?
