THE MYSTERY OF POPE FRANCIS: WAS THERE A VATICAN COUP?

Powerline ^ | SEPTEMBER 27, 2015 | STEVEN HAYWARD

[xzins]

One thing that that has puzzled a lot of people since the selection of Pope Francis two years ago is how a left-leaning Pope could succeed two very serious conservative Popes—John Paul II and Benedict XVI—who you would have thought had stacked the ranks of the Cardinals with clergy that would perpetuate their theological and philosophical outlook. Was Benedict hounded out of office by some kind of internal Vatican scandal perhaps? Was there some ecclesiastical version of a coup?

There’s no evidence that I’m aware of—until now. Three days ago the National Catholic Register ran a very curious article about the contents of a newly published authorized biography of retired Belgian cardinal Godfried Danneels. The Register article reports:

Further serious concerns are being raised about Cardinal Godfried Danneels, one of the papal delegates chosen to attend the upcoming Ordinary Synod on the Family, after the archbishop emeritus of Brussels confessed this week to being part of a radical “mafia” reformist group opposed to Benedict XVI. . .

At the launch of the book in Brussels this week, the cardinal said he was part of a secret club of cardinals opposed to Pope Benedict XVI.

He called it a “mafia” club that bore the name of St. Gallen. The group wanted a drastic reform of the Church, to make it “much more modern”, and for Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to head it. The group, which also comprised Cardinal Walter Kasper and the late Jesuit Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, has been documented in Austen Ivereigh’s biography of Pope Francis, The Great Reformer.

Over at The American Conservative, Rod Dreher has gone to the trouble of translating an Italian report that is even more curious:

The Italian Vaticanist Marco Tosatti writes (in Italian; I’ve modified the Google translation):

The election of Jorge Bergoglio was the result of secret meetings that cardinals and bishops, organized by Carlo Maria Martini, held for years in St. Gallen, Switzerland. This, according to Jürgen Mettepenningen et Karim Schelkens, authors of a newly published biography of the Belgian Cardinal Godfried Danneels, who calls the group of cardinals and bishops a “Mafia club”.
Danneels according to the authors, worked for years to prepare for the election of Pope Francis, which took place in 2013. Danneels, moreover, in a video recorded during the presentation of the book in Brussels, admits that he was part of a secret club of cardinals who opposed Joseph Ratzinger. Laughing, he calls it “a Mafia club that bore the name of St. Gallen”.
The group wanted a drastic reform of the Church, much more modern and current, with Jorge Bergoglio, Pope Francis, as its head. They got what they wanted. Besides Danneels and Martini, the group according to the book were part of the Dutch bishop Adriaan Van Luyn, the German cardinal Walter Kasper and Karl Lehman, the Italian Cardinal Achille Silvestrini and British Basil Hume, among others.

I underscore that this is not some secretly sourced claim, but it’s from an advance copy of Cardinal Danneels’ official biography, approved by himself.

This is the first confirmation of rumors that had been going around for years about Benedict being thwarted by a liberal conspiracy, one that eventually forced him out. These men — Danneels, Van Luyn, Kasper, Lehman, and Hume, at least — all preside over dying churches. And they killed the Benedict papacy.

This might explain a few things. . .

[Impy]

Negative, Bork was nominated by Reagan, after he was rejected Ginsberg was nominated, then it came out that Ginsberg had smoked weed and he withdrew (wouldn’t even be an issue today), Anthony Kennedy eventually got the seat.

Souter was a Bush appointee. Sununu mistakenly thought Souter would be a conservative. Fail.

[xzins]

Novel?

[sneakers]

bttt

[RedHeeler]

Perhaps.

[Impy]

Douglas Gingsberg, no relation to Ruth.

[xzins]

Amazing how they screwed us up with Kennedy, Souter, and Roberts.

[Wilhelm Tell]

How is Pope Benedict “winning behind the scenes”?

[Impy]

Well, Souter (like Ford appointee Stevens) was almost 100% liberal (Clinton appointee Breyer is better than both of them), that’s a LOT worse than swing vote Kennedy, who is worse than Roberts, except on Obamacare. EPIC fail on Stevens and Souter, epic. Moderate fail on O’Connor and Kennedy, somewhat fail on Roberts. Such a shame, so many 5-4 decisions.

Alito might be better than Scalia and Thomas, thank goodness Dubya’s first choice was scuttled, Harriet Meyers.

[Thumper1960]

This isn’t the first time in the long and sordid history of the Catholic Church where the word of God has been willfully bastardized by fallible and corrupt, evil men.

[RedHeeler]

Yes. Malachi Martin is the author. The current state of affairs is well documented, by this novel written many years ago. The author was killed, as was a fellow priest, in the same way, for the same reasons.

[WTFOVR]

Popey Frankie is a disaster for the Church! He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Here’s the bottom line ... IF this story is true (and I have little doubt that such is the case) then:

1.) The papacy of Pope Francis is INVALID, NULL and VOID!
2.) All those individuals complicit in this affair - including Bergoglio himself, are EXCOMMUNICATED!

I pray it IS true - so we can end this farce and rid the Church of these satanic Freemasons, pederast sodomites, and Modernist heretics!

I just had a conversation with someone a few hours ago about how incredibly dark these days are, and how A.) we should implore our Blessed Lord to arise from His slumber on the fantail of the boat and save us from these heretical/apostate jackals and B.) how Our Lord will surely give His Remnant Church a “trail of breadcrumbs” so that we can know where we need to be and where His Church is so that we can stay close to Him.

And… it’s happening.

Here’s the deal. In order for a pope to be validly elected, there can be NO vote canvassing or . It is an automatic excommunicable offense. This law was reinforced MIGHTILY in ARSH 1996 by none other than Pope St. John Paul II. Here is the text from Universi Dominici Gregis:

The Cardinal electors shall further abstain from any form of pact, agreement, promise or other commitment of any kind which could oblige them to give or deny their vote to a person or persons. If this were in fact done, even under oath, I decree that such a commitment shall be null and void and that no one shall be bound to observe it; and I hereby impose the penalty of excommunication latae sententiae upon those who violate this prohibition. It is not my intention however to forbid, during the period in which the See is vacant, the exchange of views concerning the election.

I likewise forbid the Cardinals before the election to enter into any stipulations, committing themselves of common accord to a certain course of action should one of them be elevated to the Pontificate. These promises too, should any in fact be made, even under oath, I also declare null and void.

With the same insistence shown by my Predecessors, I earnestly exhort the Cardinal electors not to allow themselves to be guided, in choosing the Pope, by friendship or aversion, or to be influenced by favour or personal relationships towards anyone, or to be constrained by the interference of persons in authority or by pressure groups, by the suggestions of the mass media, or by force, fear or the pursuit of popularity. Rather, having before their eyes solely the glory of God and the good of the Church, and having prayed for divine assistance, they shall give their vote to the person, even outside the College of Cardinals, who in their judgment is most suited to govern the universal Church in a fruitful and beneficial way.

So, all of the Cardinals who canvassed, and, presuming he was aware of it and consented to it, the man that they were canvassing for, would all be automatically excommunicated PRIOR TO THE CONCLAVE EVEN BEGINNING.

So what is the blockbuster news? Sodomite and pedophile lover Cardinal Danneels of Belgium has just stated ON VIDEO

http://nieuws.vtm.be/binnenland/159605-danneels-zat-soort-maffiaclub

at a launch event for his fully-authorized biography that he openly admits to being a member of a “mafiaclub” – HIS WORD – formed to act against Pope Benedict XVI, that specifically canvassed and organized Bergoglio’s election. This is being reported in the English language sphere by the excellent and reliable journalist Edward Pentin.

http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/cardinal-danneels-part-of-mafia-club-opposed-to-benedict-xvi

Further, in this AUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY, Danneels, who can only be described as an enthusiastic supporter of horrific sexual perversion and the slaughter of pre-born children, admits that the election of Bergoglio was organized YEARS in advance by the so-called “San Gallo Mafiaclub” for the express purpose of pushing through a hyper-radical and utterly heretical “reform” agenda centered around the ratification of perverted sex acts.

Lifesitenews.com has all manner of reportage on the truly despicable Danneels. You can start here,

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cardinal-danneels-urged-sex-abuse-victim-to-silence-secret-recordings

in which there is an audio recording of Danneels telling a boy to keep his mouth shut about being raped by a bishop – who also happened to be the boy’s uncle. Yeah. This Danneels is a real piece of shit.

Bergoglio has also HANDPICKED Danneels to be the NUMBER TWO MAN at the upcoming Synod on the Family, which is expected to drive the Church into schism.

And it all stands to reason. As we have discussed here over the last 2.5 years, Bergoglio is a thug, and the Church is pretty much completely infiltrated with people who DON’T ACTUALLY BELIEVE ANY OF IT.

http://www.barnhardt.biz/2015/09/17/repost-by-request/

So, why would a power and earthly glory-hungry thug like Bergoglio, or a bunch of filthy, child-raping fags WHO DON’T ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN ANY OF IT be even the tiniest bit affected by the Law of the Church? It’s a PUNCHLINE to them. Why would we think that these people are internally constrained in any way for fear of a paradigm in which they DO NOT BELIEVE???

This effeminate, pollyanna worldview can no longer be defended. It’s just stupid. This has been prophesied by none other than THE MOTHER OF GOD, and frankly, how could one NOT want for this nightmare to be somehow thwarted? Is normalcy bias so strong that the systematic destruction of western civilization and the Church has to be not just ACCEPTED, but defended as NOMINAL?

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.

Christ, have mercy on us.

So those mortal bishops, obviously subject to all the usual corruption of satan and the flesh, are the ones who elect the pope. And they had a “coup” that shifted their politics leftward.

That surely puts the lie to that goofy myth that the pope is divinely selected, doesn’t it?

That was my thought

He found it difficult to function in office.

I take comfort in the conviction that these things happen for reasons that we won't know until some later time.

Ask Pope John Paul I about coups.

Oh wait, he’s dead.

[WTFOVR]

Pope Benedict XVI is STILL Pope. There is no citation anywhere in Canon Law, Holy Scripture or traditional Church teaching that allows for having both a Pope and a “Pope Emeritus” ... The entire mess is a grand fabrication, affected for the GOATS of “New Church” to salivate over ... They will all have a front row seat in Hell.
