"STUNNING ADMISSION: Hyper-Progressive Cardinal Danneels Admits Being in Mafia Dedicated to Unseat PBXVI"
Pride goeth before the fall. The modernists are apparently feeling very powerful and secure, because they are starting to open their mouths and crow about both their opposition to Pope Benedict XVI, dropping hints they played a role in his abdication, as well as quite possibly illicitly organizing to elect Pope Francis.
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.The plain implication is that these men were probably driving forces behind the Vatileaks and other difficulties that plagued PBXVI’s pontificate, helping convince the beleaguered Pope Emeritus that abdication was his best alternative. Of course, there have also been dark hints of a turncoat “disciple” of Ratzinger that played a key role in convincing him to abdicate, promising him that someone of a like mind would be elected and bring the constant stream of scandals afflicting the Vatican to an end. Who that turncoat is has not been revealed to date.It was also revealed this week that he once wrote a letter to the Belgium government favoring same-sex “marriage” legislation because it ended discrimination against LGBT groups.
The cardinal is already known for having once advised the king of Belgium to sign an abortion law in 1990, for telling a victim of clerical sex abuse to keep quiet, and for refusing to forbid pornographic, “educational” materials being used in Belgian Catholic schools.
He also once said same-sex “marriage” was a “positive development,” although he has sought to distinguish such a union from the Church’s understanding of marriage.
……..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.
Nevertheless, this second admission, coupled with admissions made in the book alluded to in Pentin’s post above (The Great Reformer), seems to point to at least a reasonable possibility that there was illegal collusion between various cardinals at the conclave of 2013. Of course, Pope John Paul II had made such collusion an excommunicable offense and evidence of such would cast a huge shadow of doubt on the validity of the conclave itself. We’re very far from having anywhere near enough evidence to question that validity at present, but there is perhaps enough evidence for some kind of formal investigation by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to begin. Not that anyone expects that to happen, but who knows. We are told God is a God of surprises, and this would be quite a big one.
Danneels is a thoroughly repulsive character, the very model of the progressive-modernist post-conciliar prelate. Beloved by the media and Eurozone political types for his modernist stands, it appears only his powerful political connections kept him from being charged in the cover up of repeated boy rape. He played a decisive role in covering up the repeated sodomizing of young boys by his protege Roger Vangheluwe. It is hardly surprising that such a creature would oppose Pope Benedict XVI, and not much of a stretch to believe that he would have no scruples about violating Church Law to assure a successor more amenable to his disastrously modernist outlook.
I have a feeling this is a scandal that won’t go away anytime soon.
Thanks for the insight to an existing process.

Why am I *not* surprised?
If true, and I have serious reservations when I read things like this, but if true the "modernists" sure got what they wanted via Francis didn't they?
It certainly explains Francis' political alignment with Barack Obama while here in the US and it damn' sure explains why Francis hasn't spoken one word about Christian persecution (read that: beheadding) in the Middle East while here either.
As a former Catholic, I really liked Benedict XVI. I'd hoped he'd correct the course the Church was heading, as we know that didn't happen. I agree with you that he was forced out. I can't think of a single, plausible alternative explanation to the contrary.
Conspiracy theorists can have a field day about the forces at play, but the old predictions that the antiCHRIST would be a Pope don't seem nearly as far-fetched as they once did.
Agree again. With each passing day, I become more convinced that we are in fact living in the end times.
Everything that was good, holy and pure has been destroyed or watered down to the point of not being recognizable, while everything that's sinful and evil has been pronounced "good" and the norm.
I'm 53 and sometimes I'm just stunned at how far this country has morally fallen and how fast it's happened.
