Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap., The Catholic Thing - After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to various people on a number of occasions.  He appears to Mary Magdalene, Peter, and the Apostles.  Paul enumerates the appearances of which he is aware: He first appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.  Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.  Then he appeared to James, then to the apostles. Last of all, as one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

(Vigano said) every Catholic would judge the Francis papacy, “which was not really a papacy at all but only seemed to be such,” to have been “terrible.”... “The Church of Rome, after these twelve years of tyranny, is devastated by scandals, corruption, violations of human rights – I am thinking of the Agreement with the communist dictatorship of Beijing – and by a failed management on all fronts,” he added.
