Arguably, this inscription from Dante's Inferno could be hung over the front door of every Novus Ordo church.
It could apply to many or even most souls, certainly among those not invincibly ignorant and above the age of reason.
The principle explained by Gregory XVI must apply in our day just as in the days of the Council of Constance, namely, that Christ always gives his Church the ability to rid herself of a false claimant to the papacy and obtain a true head. The Thesis, however, believes that this is not true because it holds that these false, notoriously heretical popes have the ability to hold hostage the power to elect by preserving it in a line of merely material Cardinals who are likewise public heretics. That is in direct contradiction to the principle explained by Gregory XVI.
"St. Thomas says, one who loves God, loves all that God loves. If then, we have to recognize that dealing with our neighbor we are not very charitable, not very kind to him, nor attentive to his needs, we must conclude that our love for God is still very weak." - Fr. Gabriel
"If [Leo XIV's] first encyclical’s title, Magnifica Humanitas, which means “magnificent humanity,” wasn’t a dead giveaway, then its contents surely were....
"As Bishop Donald Sanborn rightly pointed out, the encyclical is nothing but a manifesto of dogmaless humanitarianism. Pope St. Pius X, of course, already warned in 1907 against attempts to reduce Christianity to a purely human-centered moral program...."

"Leo XIV is the Vicar of Man, not of Christ.
Warn other Catholics."
"I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever. These things He said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum." - Jn. vi. 48-60.
La France a-t-elle oublié le message que Saint Joseph lui confia le 7 juin 1660 ?
À Cotignac, saint Joseph demande à un humble berger ce qu’aucune force humaine ne semblait pouvoir accomplir.
La pierre est immense. L’ordre semble impossible. Pourtant, le berger obéit sans discuter. Et sous ses mains, le rocher cède. Une source jaillit aussitôt du sol desséché.
Quelques heures plus tard, des hommes du village viennent constater le prodige. Plusieurs d’entre eux tentent de déplacer la même pierre. En vain. Là où la force des hommes échoue, l’obéissance d’un humble berger avait suffi.
Voilà peut-être le véritable miracle de Cotignac. Non pas seulement l’eau qui surgit du rocher, mais cette leçon éternelle : Dieu n’agit pas d’abord par les puissants, mais par les âmes qui Lui font confiance.
Saint Joseph ne demanda ni intelligence, ni richesse, ni puissance. Il demanda simplement l’obéissance. Et c’est par cette obéissance qu’une source fut donnée à la France.
Trois siècles et demi plus tard, la question demeure :
Avons-nous conservé cette confiance qui déplace les pierres, ou avons-nous préféré compter sur nos seules forces ?
