Archbishop Viganò: I express my ‘complete solidarity’ with farmers fighting the New World Order
... The only real emergency is our betrayal by our rulers – and by the Catholic Church leadership itself – to the detriment of the entire human race. The servility of the entire political class, the media censorship, the silence of the judiciary, and the complicity of the law enforcement and armed forces in the face of this coup are scandalous.
The time has come for the peoples to courageously and firmly claim their natural and inalienable rights, which have been endangered by the WEF’s global coup d’état. The resignation of those who rule us on behalf of a subversive elite and against the people must be obtained. ...

Viganò is always worth reading. He calls out the Bishops' (and the Pope's) failure to be spiritual fathers.
But honestly, "every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God" (Heb 5:1). When the quality of the people is not very high, the quality of the priests is not very high. It goes back to the family: you need strong, devout, and big families. Then, 25-30 years later, you will have strong devout men ready to be ordained. It's a long-term building project. The senior clergy nowadays grew up in the crazy 1960s and 1970s, so it's not surprising at the poor quality of them.
Any early church history shows a fully operating papacy - primacy of Peter and his successors, shepherds of the pastorate or see of Rome, and even the New Testament alludes to this primacy in various ways.
The earliest documents of the church show both a papacy and catholic beliefs.
For the first few hundred years, to accept the role of St Peter’s successor was a guaranteed death sentence - I believe 28 of the first 30 popes were martyred.
As Jesus mentioned, with reference to casting out demons, no kingdom divided against itself can stand.
It is pretty silly then, claiming the papacy is in any way of the adversary, let alone the antichrist, when this office and institution were present at the founding of the Church, by none other than Christ himself.
