It sounds at a minimum that there was an advocacy group. Part of me thinks that would have to be true in a system in which someone’s name has to be put forward as a candidate. For others more knowledgeable than me, this could be evidence to confirm a conspiracy.

Was there a coup??

Does a bear do it in the woods?
Is Pope Benedict XVI a Catholic?

You tell me. Benedict said he wanted to retire.

Boehner said the same thing about being speaker and a member of congress.

Benedict wanted to avoid the consequences of the revulsion and legal mess brought about by the pedophile priests. I think Francis is also avoiding comment on the matter.

Well, if Benedict’s departure is result of coup, that gives hope for Francis departing soon.

Interesting. Of course, Godfrey Daniels was W.C. Fields euphemism (in movies) for “God Damn.” He’s well-named.

Was there some ecclesiastical version of a coup?

I'd say more of a version of the David Souter nomination to the Supreme Court.

Was Souter Bork’s replacement?

The Pope of the NWO

I’d like to know how they got Benedict to resign. Popes don’t resign.

Pushback against the purge of homos in the Catholic clergy?

Thank you for the link.
Hayward is brilliant.
Pope Francis is weak.
Cardinal Danneels from Belgium is an empty man who fails to acknowledge his failure and the failure of the Modernist Am Church that conforms to the world rather than to Christ.
Paul VI was a Mason who destroyed the mass and my guess is that Masonic Cardinals, such as Danneels, elected Pope Francis.

Pope Benedict XVI is the second smartest man alive (place anyone as number one) and he is calmly winning behind the scenes.
Pope Francis looks like he hates his job and probably feels trapped. And he expresses worry about his health.

Pope should trade places with Benedict XVI.
The Lord is showing off with such goof balls as Danneels and Bergoglio.

That was definitely odd. Wonder what would happen if he reclaimed his position? He’s 88 isn’t he?

If Francis were to die tomorrow would Benedict be Pope again by default?

Yes, I want to know how they got him to resign too. At the time I figured Benedict must have been very frail or very sick, so as to find it difficult to function in office. I figured he must not be long for this world. How long has it been now? Two-and-a-half years?
