It is time for the Church's detractors to shut their mouths about corrupt Popes and to open them about corrupt Anti-Christian and anti-Pope governments, nations and propaganda at all levels; since for well over one and a half centuries Holy Mother Church has been producing a constant line of Very Holy Holy Fathers, most worthy successors of Saint Peter, the Vicar of Christ; a holy succession unparalleled since the first centuries of Christianity (and the early Middle Ages).
Review the illustrious list of these heroic holy men of modern times.
Eight of the eleven have already been declared at least of irreproachable character and heroic in the exercise of the Christian virtues.
256. Blessed Pius IX (1846-78)
257. Leo XIII (1878-1903)
258. St. Pius X (1903-14)
259. Benedict XV (1914-22)
260. Pius XI (1922-39)
261. Venerable Pius XII (1939-58)
262. Blessed John XXIII (1958-63)
263. Venerable Paul VI (1963-78)
264. Servant of God John Paul I (1978)
265. Blessed John Paul II (1978-2005)
266. Benedict XVI (2005-2013)
Many otherwise educated people simply regurgitate the anti-Catholic and anti-Papal venom spewed by the enlightenment ideologues without realizing that those attacks are today quite invalid and false, at least regarding the Papacy, which is again a most splendid witness to the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
I call on all educators and all persons involved in the media and in government at every level to correct this predominant manifest modern error in education! The Popes are Saints again for quite some time now. You have to get with the times! Update your history! Learn something new and teach it, viz. honest history, including the modern history of the Papacy and Holy Church, and the living Gospel which cannot die!
N.B. There have been 266 Popes, including Saint Peter; 265 successors to the Petrine Office.
