It is perhaps one more indicator that there is no Pope. Semi-trads constantly look for a "substitute pope" because the one they insist is Pope isn't doing what Popes do.

Fr. Peter Totleben, O.P. @FrTotleben92742

Online conservative-to-traditional Catholics have a folk hero problem. It's one after another after another. People fall for it over and over again. And each time, the fans of the folk hero attack the people who warn them in exactly the same way, no matter how many times those https://t.co/0LwcmRcCPM

First, notice that this *is* a development. Because the DDW is

Pope Leo XIV, during his meeting with film-world figures Spike Lee—who presented him with a Knicks jersey—Cate Blanchett, and Sergio Castellitto (who portrayed Tedesco in "Conclave"), praised the work of filmmakers and called for greater support for cinemas. https://t.co/hXLOiSUpLi
