As my loyal reader are aware, I have been picking up signals (DATA POINTS) that suggest Francis’ bishopric of Rome is coming to an end for about a year now.
In an earlier post, I cited a Life Site News post that suggested that the Francis enablers, i.e. The Gallen Mafia and Team Bergoglio, gave Francis a limited amount of time to “change” the post-conciliar church.
Now an article appears in the London Times, via the EWTN British website with the following headline:
Pro Pope Francis cardinals want him to resign to avoid schism, reports the Times of London
The lede is as follows:
The London Times newspaper is reporting that a group of cardinals who supported Pope Francis now want him to resign and be replaced by Cardinal Pietro Parolin because they fear his reforms will cause a schism “more disastrous” than the Reformation. The Times article draws on a report by the Vatican expert Antonio Socci, a prominent Italian Catholic journalist.
From my point of view, I think this is legitimate information. The major cause behind the Gallen Mafia purported throwing Francis under the bus can be put down as follows:
The cardinals are worried that the church could be shattered as an institution. There are many indirect ways in which the pressure might be exerted.
What is behind this apprehension (ROOT CAUSE) is that Francis is not attracting the pew sitters that these old, leftist, delusional heretics thought that Francis could attract. Case in point. the numbers in Brazil in the last two years are staggering. NINE MILLION lost souls wallets lost in TWO years.
NB: Did someone get a “whisper figure” for the German Kirchensteuer payer pool for 2016?
As for a deeper analysis, I am linking to the following video interview given to Michael Voris by Father Dariusz Oko (see here). For those who are not familiar with Fr. Oko’s work, he basically chronicles and documents the operations of the HOMO MAFIA inside the post-conciliar church. In the video, he does a first rate job of explaining the modus operandi of the homo-mafia. A must view…
So connecting the lines, lost pew sitters leads to a lost collection plate take, leads to a drop of living standards for the HOMO MAFIA, leads to FrancisChurch in Liquidation.
It’s just that simple folks.
Remember, ideology follows self-interest…
and even neo-Modernists need to eat!
What would Bishop Parolin do any differently?
Is he even more Socialist, or have ‘they’ decided to dial that back a bit, and present a more traditional figurehead?
I’m not sure what reason would have to be given for yet another Pope to leave that position short of imminent death.
Not that I want to keep Pope Francis there, because I do not.
Sigh....Is this just an example of “Vatican Fake News” , personal speculation, with no semblance of reality at all.?
If Pope Benedict was indeed supplanted by Francis by progressives who wanted to “reform” the Church, this was their only real chance. If Francis merely continues to wreck the Church by driving members away, or is himself forced to resign by progressives who fear a schism looms, any seemingly-less-radical Pope who replaces Francis will be otiose because Francis will have manifestly failed, and failed CEOs are never replaced successfully by similar versions of themselves.
Whether this story be 10% true or 90%, it is very, very good news for the Church. Please, God, hear our prayers and save the Church.
Francis isn’t going anywhere voluntarily. My take on his, with his “oh I’m so much more humble than any of you” stuff, his pogroms against conservatives and his seeking of the limelight is that he’s a prideful man who’d rather rule an empire of ashes than serve in one of diamonds.
The Catholic church is not dependent on Pope Francis and this group of corrupt schemers in the hierarchy.
It is faithful lay Catholic who keep the actual church going despite the misdeeds of these unholy, dishonest schemers.
Pope Francis purposely supports an agenda exactly the same as George Soros. His supporters contribute nothing of value. They have contempt for the faithful Catholics who truly believe in in God, the holy church and its true principles and who sacrifice to support their parishes and teach the true faith to their children.
These lying, evil men who put Pope Francis into to power and who scheme to promote his programs offer absolutely nothing.
Good answer. Additionally, I now know what the word ‘Otiose’ means. It’s roughly the same as ‘Moot’, the old Scottish word.
Isn’t “otiose” a great word? One of my favorites, and, incidentally, a condign one for describing many government agencies.
Where is the Cardinal who will ask the dissenters:
Where shall we go? Those that remain have the truth of everlasting life.
I grew up in the Catholic church and still have a lot of affection for it even though I have left. I am not saying this out of hostility, I am simply stating the truth. If the Catholics don’t get rid of the celibacy rule their denomination is doomed. It might take a hundred years but it will collapse.
Always remember that the mark of your Catholic Baptism is always on your soul, and will remain there at the moment of your death.
You can come back anytime. Just sit down with a priest and get your questions answered.
Probably. Will believe it when I see it.

Can Frank and unchain Benedict. One Pope (Benedict) is enough. Next pope should be Burke.
Confirms a prediction I have that Pope Francis WILL step down.
