You're Parish Orphins and Retrogrades.

In today's episode, I want to talk to you about something I've been waiting to talk to you about for 11 years-ish.

Something that is not allowed to be discussed, I guess publicly, or more seriously, insinuated publicly anyway, during a reigning pontiff's reign.

proving the point, and I'm not even sure I'm proving a point here today, aside from the fact that

an investigation needs to be leveled by the cardinals themselves, I am bringing to you

receipts that cannot be denied, that are not flippant, and that just need answering. There are questions

which deserve answering, and I would also sort of open with another quick prefatory point

that by waiting for the appropriate period to ask bold questions, I'm attempting to do,

and I think succeeding, hopefully, at doing what a faithful yet a submissive, a daring, bold, yet submissive, faithful Catholic is called

to do. And that's really actually the call of the channel. If you look at my YouTube channel, it says,

for faithful yet bold Catholics, for bold yet faithful. You know, faithful means faithful to the
