  • My Comments on the Swiss Letter

    I read the article and also am disgusted. Let me quote a few paragraphs to show you why. Credibility problem But he said that the Church was best served by the retirement of any pope by age 75, the age when bishops retire. These days, the media are more focused on the Pope’s health than…
