I would employ the "shit sandwich" method
Phase 1: establish a good relationship with the flock, as well as the media
>go around to a handful of parishes in every state of the US, no popemoblie parades bullshit.
>just hang out with people and talk to them and stuff, have feasts, baptize babies, etc.
>only talk about the positive things in this phase, such as loving your brother. Nothing explicit about loving immigrants and letting them cuck you
>espouse vaguely traditional/conservative values but never espouse anything modern, but also don't speak out against modernism yet
>all the while I will be looking for hardline conservative priests and bishops and will keep in contact with them
This is the first slice of bread in the shit sandwich.
Phase 2: the inquisition
>make a speech or something about going back to tradition and being pious to god
>attack modernity, liberalism, globalism, lukewarmness, ecumenism, protestants, orthos, etc.
>forbid women from wearing pants in church and make veils mandatory
>make local parishes assign an old lady to stand at the front of the church on Sunday's and hand out smocks to all girls wearing yoga pants, skinny jeans, short skirts, low cut shirts, etc.
>make it mandatory for all parishioners to fill up the front rows completely instead of being atomized across the entire building
>make it illegal for laity to hand out the body of Christ, only the priest is allowed to
>everyone has to line up and receive the Eucharist kneeling on the rail on the tongue and an altar server holds the guard under it as the priest gives it to you just like in a TLM
>altar servers must be 18 or older now
>no women allowed in the pulpit
>make it clear that abortion and fornication and gay marriage are FORBIDDEN
>latae sententiae excommunication for anyone who has homosex
>excommunicate Nancy Pelosi and other Catholic politicians who support abortion
>excommunicate any celebrities who claim to be Catholic but preach heresies like Ariana Grande who wrote a song called god is a woman
>defrock and possibly excommunicate any and all homosexual bishops
>defrock any Bishop who supports abortion or homosexual "rights" or any form of modernism
>appoint new cardinals since I probably just got rid of most of them, hopefully I met some very conservative bishops in phase 1 whom I can appoint
>assemble a council of internal inquisition headed ultimately by me and declare a new inquisition within the church to remove the leaven which will spoil the bread
>inquisitors will be recruited and assigned to certain jurisdictions throughout the world
>every confirmed Catholic on record will have to interview with these men, whether they attend mass or not
>they will discern the lukewarmness of a person and find out if the person is willing to change, if not they will be put on a list for potential excommunication
>a lost of parishioners potentially facing excommunication will be given to each priest and it will be up to him to further investigate if they should be excommunicated (mostly to make sure no one who doesn't deserve it gets excommunicated)
>if he refuses he will be defrocked
>after this, the remaining people on the list will be ordered to have a meeting with the Bishop of their diocese to hopefully encourage them to change
>if they don't go to the meeting without a valid excuse, or if they do and don't repent, they will then be formally excommunicated
>no one under a certain age will be excommunicated
>people with young children whom they plan on raising Catholic will probably not be excommunicated
>there will be a certain period after the inquisition where the church will be wholeheartedly open and eager to the reconciliation of excommunicated members , probably 3 to 5 years, but after that it will be very hard to be reconciled
>follow up inquisitions may be employed
That's the shit log in the shit sandwich
Phase 3: unity
>firstly, forbid interfaith marriage of catholics
>mandatory communal rosary prayer assemblies twice a week (anyone who doesn't attend regularly will be excommunicated)
>mandatory regional (not just local unless there are a lot of young people in a town) youth groups for unmarried people ages 15-29, they will have certain supervised coed events to foster love and fruitfulness in the church
>like I said before everyone has to sit together in the front pews
>encourage openness to life, couples who just aren't producing babies will be talked to by the priest to make sure they aren't using birth control (nfp is birth control)
>Encourage homeschooling and possibly give grant money to local parishes ao they can buy land and build houses on it so they can live in an intentional Catholic community or create a charity which does this for them
>attempts to reconcile Russian orthodox to the mother church
This is the other slice of bread
I am not the man to do this though. I've done a lot of depraved stuff
