1) Since Parra has not resigned or been fired by the Pope as of 11 October 2024, it is clear that Pope Francis (his boss) supports him. This "one more time" incident reinforces my unhappy view that Pope Francis is a morally bad man and should resign and live out the rest of his life in penance.

2) For all of us in "parasocial" relationships with The Pillar, have you ever thought of a Zoom conference where people ask (appropriate) questions? Perhaps as a fundraiser? I think there is a need in American culture for converting parasocial relationships into social relationships.
