Maybe a new Pope can reverse the effects of the leftist “color revolution” that happened in the Catholic Church.

Maybe, and I hope so.

I'm not Catholic so . . .

My very first thought on seeing him wheeled out yesterday in front of a microphone he didn't really use and another reading for him was . . . .

Pope Francis Biden.

It really was . . . . the irony was staggering.

Mabey a new pope will defy all the expectations of the Bergoglio-appointed cardinals who will choose him?

What proportion of current Cardinals of the Catholic Church were promoted by Pope Francis?

ChatGPT said:

As of April 2025, approximately 80% of the cardinals eligible to vote in a papal conclave were appointed by Pope Francis

The similarities between the College of Cardinals and Church Magisterium and secular institutions like Supreme Courts, Senates, House of Lords, can be striking. And that includes politics and conflicts over political / ideological views.

The Pope appoints Cardinals, and they go on to choose his successor. Since Benedict was removed in a quiet coup, I believe that the Vatican has been radically transformed by Neo-Marxism.

Hasn’t the Catholic Church been shedding members a lot during the Commie Pope’s reign?
I mean as much as they want globalist justice BS and climate change, don’t they need the money?
I don’t follow much of the Catholic Church anymore since Francis started destroying it.
Of course Southern Baptists have got their own problems.

Francis named 80% of the cardinals who will be voting. There is no way they backtrack. The most they might do is put in a leftist with a conservative fig leaf across his private parts.

Governments worldwide are continuing to use taxpayer money to fund and control the Catholic Church.

Until that changes, Deep States, plural, will control the Catholic Church.

And it will continue to serve mammon and the Deep State, not God nor their parishioners.
