Stop Waiting for Pius XIII: How Papal Change Actually Happens

Pope Martin V

It is honestly delusory to imagine that some future pope is simply going to openly repudiate the errors of the post-Conciliar age. There is not going to be some future pope who anathematizes Francis and his policies. There will never be any subsequent ecumenical council that nullifies Vatican II. There's not going to be some spectacle where Lefebvre is rehabilitated and proclaimed the savior of the Church. There will never be anything like a new Syllabus of Errors excoriating the policies of the modern Vatican. None of this is ever going to happen and we are completely detached from reality if we expect otherwise.

Twentieth century Britain experienced a surging interest in Catholicism amongst its literary classes, many of whom would enter the Church as converts throughout the decades, peaking in the 1940s and 50s (those who would like to learn more about this should consult Joseph Pearce's excellent book Literary Converts which covers this movement in great detail).
