The Taos Tatler

If you are reading this, you have, remarkably, found your way, to the latest and, Deo volente, last home of the Taos Tatler. An explanation follows. 

When starting up the Taos Tatler, I moved on from my previous blog, the Bovina Bloviator, as I had moved from Bovina, NY to Taos, NM. At the same time, I have switched services from WordPress to Blogger. Whatever I may believe the latter, offered in a better look and more options are more  negated by WP being to be a royal pain, as  I found myself creating, without any intention, creating one new blog after another, all bearing the same name. This technically challenged oldster has no success either merging the superfluous Tatlers into one, nor, even simpler, deleting superfluous Taos Tatler without enormous diffificulties, beyond this blogger's ken. So I quit WordPress, and returned to Blogger, which seems eminently simpler for this simple-minded Blogger in his senior years.

Reform of the reform may take a long, long time

Some of us may not live w to see it.

This should not come as a great surprise as the majority of the cardinals are appointees of Francis. Presumably, most of them, at least, share the late pope's "Jesuitical" views on modernization of the Catholic Church, even when they fly in the face of church teachings. On the other hand, some liberal Cardinals have come to realize that the continued drifting away from ancient teachings, most going back to the early days of the church, could do colossal and even irreversible damage, worse than already occurred during the reign of Francis. Those cardinals may be open to a papal candidate holding more traditional views.
