I don't post on here very often – mostly I just stay and quiet and read – but I thought I ought to break that silence to share the following news:

From September, I will be moving to Ireland to teach systematic theology at St Patrick's Pontifical University at Maynooth.

They didn’t start the election process until the retirement took effect. He hung around, but was no longer the pope.

I’ve made the same criticism elsewhere. For me, it’s also the lack of clarity about the grounds on which he was appointed. He hasn’t got demonstrable academic expertise in theology. He has written against LLF in a way that demonstrates a lack of engagement with both sides. Those were in the ad!
