But why would Benedict play along with it?
For a time, he was Cardinal Archbishop of Munich. Later, after the election of John Paul II, Ratzinger became his right hand man as the head of the Holy Office, the Congregation for the doctrine of the Faith, the successor to the Inquisition. He used his superior intellect and his encyclopedic knowledge of all things Catholic to relentlessly track down "liberation" "theologians," (the kind who envision Jesus Christ and Che Guevara wielding machine guns against any non-communist running any Latin American country), silencing them, defrocking them and driving them out of the priesthood. Pope Francis, by contrast, is inviting the same communist priests to the Vatican for public approval.
For the mechanics of the conclaves that elect popes, see Fr. Malachi Martin's novel The Final Conclave, written a year before Paul VI's death and predicting that death of heart failure to happen in the very month Paul VI died of heart failure, August, 1978. If you read the novel, I will tell you the real life cardinals after whom the fictional ones were created. The 1978 conclaves that elected John Paul I and St. John Paul II were a clash of about five conspiracies, few of them good, and Belgium and Germany were in the front pew of the evil. Good prevailed both times.
Something bad must have happened to allow the personalities who are said to have participated to prevail. A ring leader of the conspiracy until his death was the utterly leftist Cardinal Martini of Milan who had wanted to be pope to lead the Church leftward until its morality and liturgies were no longer recognizably Catholic. Godfreed Daneels' predecessor and patron was Leo Cardinal Suenens, one of the most evil prelates of modern times.
Walter Cardinal Kaspar who is now approaching 80 and mandatory retirement is another Suenens. Another German Cardinal in the group would be Cardinal Marx (that's his name) and the now dead English Cardinal Basil Hume who is very accurately portrayed in Martin's novel for the quisling that he was. These guys would have despised Ratzinger not only as a hard-line Church conservative but as one who defected from their ranks.
This story of a conspiracy needs more details as to HOW these people thwarted Benedict XVI and HOW the elected Bergoglio at the next conclave in which each and every voting cardinal had been appointed by either John Paul II or Benedict XVI, but the story rings true to my Catholic ears.
God bless you and yours!
Ignorance is bliss, I suppose ... The Pope is only “divinely selected” IF the Bishops FIRST pray for and are open to the GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY GHOST ... Which, obviously, Modernist Heretics, Freemasons, Sodomites, pederasts, and other such low life scum - “who really do not believe in all the bullshit” (aka Christianity) - are NOT going to follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
Nice try, but take your bigotry elsewhere.
Thanks, Black Elk, for the explanation. What do you think would have caused Benedict to step down?
As to the cardinal electors who elected Francis, none of us would like to be in their stylish shoes or elegant outfits at the time of the final judgment.
Did I touch a nerve, there, militant papist?
Clue: there are *many* of us Spirit-filled Christians who have “eyes to see” that your so-called “divine appointment” is a doctrine of man, not of GOD.
Exhibit A: your goofy Marxist manpleaser, francis. Divinely appointed, my eye.
You might want to read about the papacy of Pope Celestine V (who resigned as Pope in December 1294 but died in May 1296) and his successor, Pope Boniface VIII (who reigned as Pope from December 1294 to October 1303)
Perhaps because Pope Benedict XVI (Ratzinger) did not wish to suffer the same fate of Pope John Paul I, who was summarily murdered (poisoned) by the Freemasons immediately after his election to the papacy.
The Masons and communists long ago infiltrated the Church - and saw to it that the seminaries were saturated with sodomites. The “smoke of satan” has penetrated the Church at its highest levels.
Pope John XXIII (Roncalli) was a Freemason, as was Pope Paul VI (Montini) - who was also a flaming sodomite (irrefutable evidence of both - which is why the first attempt at his beatification was quietly rescinded).
The Church has suffered a putsch - its “silent Revolution of 1917” ... It is a test by God so to separate the wheat from the chaff.
You know God is pissed when he allows his people to fall into the hands of corrupt leaders - both secular and ecclesiastical.
“Interesting times” in which we now live, no?
Ignorance may be cured - but stupidity is FOREVER ... One day, you’ll discover that truth - but at that point it will be too late.
Not the same situation as having a Pope and a “Pope Emeritus”
I am catholic and feel so very frustrated with all that is going on with this pope. I know in my heart something just isn’t right with this pope and the admiration of him by so many scoundrels. I also feel like there’s a reason Benedict is still pope...because Francis is either a very weak confusing man or at worst incidious.
And Jesus wanted all of this? Really? Hmmmm.................
>> One day, youll discover that truth - but at that point it will be too late.
You’ll be really surprised by all the non-Catholic Christians you’ll find in heaven. And you’ll be a little bit embarrassed too by some of the things you have said here on earth, such as that last post of yours. Thanks to JESUS, you are forgiven, and we’ll enjoy a good laugh about it.
By the way, don’t sweat purgatory; it’ll be over for you before you know it. ;-)
I’m not one to suffer fools - so, bye.
Matthew 5:22
Romans 12:3
Bye now. See you in Heaven.
Jorge Bergoglio is a total scoundrel, a thug, and a megalomaniac - look at his doings while the Arch Bishop of Buenos Aries, Argentina. He is an anti-pope; however, he is not the first such scoundrel in the history of the Church. Recall the Pope is only infallible when deciding an issue of faith and morals, in union with all the Bishops, and declaring solemnly such doctrine excatholica - from the Seat of Peter. A VERY RESTRICTIVE and NARROWLY DEFINED POWER - which far too many Catholics misunderstand, to the advantage of the Church’s enemies.
Has the American Airlines plane landed safely in Rome...
Ratzinger was the one who kept pressuring John Paul II to force the bishops to take meaningful actions against pedophile priests.
“Ask Pope John Paul I about coups. Oh wait, he’s dead.”
Murdered after 33 days in office-—Why? Because he knew the homomafia had control of the Vatican Bank and he was going to shake it all up and get rid of the homomafia who took over the powers/bank according to several books I read, that seemed credible.
Fr. Oko’s Report and many books document this Marxism homosexual infiltration-—starting with the warnings of Pope Pius X in his encyclicals as early as 1907. Bella Dodd, a Communist agent, facilitated getting thousands of Marxist homomafia into the seminaries in the 30s and 40s to eventually fill top positions of power (looks like they succeeded).
And she was murdered after being baptized (converting) by Bishop Fulton Sheen and documenting the infiltration in a book. Pope Benedict had this report written so he might have been going to do something with the homomafia. The “Smoke of Satan” has entered the Church with the “spirit” of VII, was actually something that Pope Paul VI stated. He knew that the homosexuals were having Black Masses actually inside the Vatican back then.

I’m worried about all the Catholics on the Court.
