Thanks to WikiLeaks, we learn that in preparation for the U.S. Papal September visit, the Vatican proactively sought input from the most radical fringe of the Democratic Left. Is this Pope Francis’ idea of his peaceful ‘dialogue and encounter?
All roads to the Francis Vatican lead back to George Soros.
The secret roadmap is provided by both the WikiLeaks’ release of John Podesta emails and DCLeaks documents from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation. These emails corroborate that Soros operatives are collaborating with top Vatican cardinals, at the behest of George Soros.
In August 2016, DCLeaks documents hacked from Soros’ Open Society, exposed the $650,000 Soros grant to PICO, a radical organization of community organizers for the express purpose to travel to the Vatican for strategy meetings in anticipation of the 2016 election.
What ever happened at the Soros-funded Vatican meeting? Not surprisingly, the outcome of the PICO 3-day Vatican meeting suddenly materialized in the WikiLeaks emails of John Podesta inbox. A detailed report on the critical PICO/Vatican trip would certainly be of critical interest to the Chairman of the Clinton Presidential Campaign, underscoring the Soros/Clinton/Vatican partnership. (Full disclosure: Soros gave $25 million to the Clinton presidential campaign and Podesta previously chaired the Soros’ Center for American Progress). And, indeed, the meeting notes disclose valuable insight and intelligence about the leftist cabal at work in the Vatican.
WikiLeaks pulls back the curtain on the radicals entrenched in the Francis papacy. The PICO Vatican meeting was not simply a brisk cursory papal meet and greet. Rather, documents reveal that Alinsky activists were invited, welcomed, and dined in intense strategy sessions with high level Vatican cardinals. The leaked emails expose the leftist political machinations behind the Francis papacy, where the Soros-funded community organizers coordinated radical messaging with high level papal cardinal confidantes.
Why would Soros underwrite this Vatican trip? It is obviously a wise investment with long term benefits.
The Podesta email cache reinforces the ongoing collaboration of Soros globalists with Francis and his papal minions. From the moment of Bergoglio’s papal elevation, George Soros identified Bergoglio as a kindred spirit, a radical globalist, with the much sought after authority and moral voice of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis shares Soros’ world view: climate change, mass migration, income inequality, globalism, and capitalism bashing.
Within weeks of the new Francis papacy, Jeffrey Sachs—a longtime member of George Soros’ brain trust, also a recipient of $50 million of Soros funds, and top UN official—was invited to and featured as the Vatican’s premiere expert on the radical climate change agenda.
As indication of his favored status, Sachs spoke at the Vatican 18 times during the first years of Francis papacy. Sachs orchestrated the UN/Vatican alliance on climate change and assured the Pope Francis seal of approval on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Climate Treaty, inaugurating the globalist agenda. Several Soros confidantes and advisors, are firmly entrenched at the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences promoting the UN/Soros environmental globalist agenda, and the anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street protests.
The WikiLeaks Podesta emails reveal that the Vatican solicited advice from, and collaborated with leftist community organizers to advance the political platform of the Democratic party. Soros strategically funded PICO progressive activists who appear to serve as de facto advance men for the upcoming Pope’s U.S. trip, by discussing papal site visits and political messaging with key Vatican hierarchy.
With the daily cascade of WikiLeaks from John Podesta emails, the Vatican is further unmasked as a sympathizer of the American radical left. The Podesta emails expose the extremist collaborators in power and control in the Francis papacy. From 6/22/15 WikiLeaks-Recap to John Podesta about the Soros-Pico Vatican junket:
“Our team included several PICO African-American pastors deeply involved in Black Lives Matter (BLM)(Soros funds BLM $33 million in one year, ed.) including a Pastor from St. Louis who is on the Ferguson commission; Rev. Alvin Herring, our Deputy Director, who has worked closely with clergy in Baltimore; a DREAMer from Florida; a priest from California who was formerly undocumented himself; a Black Catholic Deacon who is leading our work on mass incarceration in New Orleans; and two workers from SEIU helping to lead the Fight for 15 workers”
Soros dispatched his social justice community PICO activists to the Vatican with orders to shape and frame the Pope’s message to Americans. Among the PICO activists in the Vatican delegation was Pastor Michael McBride, who was arrested in Ferguson protesting the phony trumped up mythical drumbeat of police brutality against the not so “gentle giant” Michael Brown. The discussion with the top officials at the Vatican over three days of meetings centered on the leftist agenda:
“We conveyed our view that the Pope is a World leader of historical significance; that his message of exclusion, alarm over rising inequality and concern about globalized indifference is important for the U.S. to hear and see animated during his visit; and that we intend to amplify his remarks so that we have a more profound moral dialogue about policy choices through the election cycle of 2016.”
Strikingly, the underlying purpose of the Vatican trip in the report to Clinton Campaign Chairman Podesta is that the delegation reinforced to Vatican officials the 2016 Democratic election talking points. PICO, on instructions from Soros, sought to bang the drumbeat of racial animus, discontent, inequality, and exclusion with the Vatican Curia and Francis speechwriters.
The email confirms that Pope Francis will underscore a strategy of similar themes and messages promulgated from PICO activists:
“[O]ur visit affirmed an overall strategy: Pope Francis, as a leader of global stature, will challenge the “idolatry of the marketplace” in the U.S. and offer a clarion call to change the policies that promote exclusion and indifference to those most marginalized.”
The PICO delegation provided stories of injustice and inequality to the Vatican curia. Imagine the race-baiting Ferguson protestors regaling Vatican officials with tales of rampant police brutality and the murder of Michael Brown and other innocent black men! Did the Francis Cardinals even bother to check the outcome of the trumped up Ferguson police brutality charges? Unlikely.
“In our meetings with relevant officials, we strongly recommended that the Pope emphasize – in words and deeds – the need to confront racism and racial hierarchy in the US. Conversations that were originally scheduled for thirty minutes stretched into two hour dialogues.”
Alleluia! Sounds like everyone was singing from the same Kumbaya racial discrimination hymnal. How ecumenical of the Vatican to dialogue with Black Lives Matter activists! Did the economic “idolatry of the marketplace” include the $33 million that George Soros provided to BLM protests? Doubt it.
As in our breakfast conversation with Cardinal Rodríguez, senior Vatican officials shared profound insights demonstrating an awareness of the moral, economic and political climate in America.”
Clearly, the Vice Pope (#2 at the Vatican) Cardinal Maradiaga Rodriguez promotes and shares the messaging from the community organizers of the American left. While providing input for the Pope’s upcoming U.S. visit, the Vatican and PICO delegation agreed that Pope Francis would visit a prison during his trip to the United States. Not surprisingly, during his stopover in Philadelphia, the Pope Francis visited a prison!
We were encouraged to believe that the Pope will confront race through a moral frame. We were told that the Pope will visit a prison while here – demonstrating his concern about incarceration.”
The Soros marching orders for the PICO delegation was to hatch, implement, and coordinate Pope Francis’ strategic themes and events during his U.S. visit in September 2015. The Vatican agreed to position the Pope’s message in alignment with the Soros funded Alinskyites’ radical agenda. As any political operative knows, race baiting ensures that the African-American voting bloc is energized to vote Democratic. WikiLeaks unmasks the Francis Church where community organizers are consulted as advance men for the U.S. papal visit providing Francis with speech themes from the radical left.
The WikiLeaks Podesta email continues:
“This is why we gathered at the Vatican in mid-June, at the encouragement of Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga, often referred to as the "Vice Pope" and a strong supporter of PICO, who had urged us to share our stories, our perspective, and our hopes for the impact of Pope Francis' visit to the United States, with Vatican officials.”
So, thanks to WikiLeaks, we learn that in preparation for the U.S. Papal September visit, the Vatican proactively seeks input from the most radical fringe of the Democratic Left, which fomented violence and anarchy in the streets over a faux police brutality charge and racial killing charge in Ferguson. Is this Pope Francis’ idea of his peaceful ‘dialogue and encounter?
The PICO/Vatican Radical Alliance Continues in Bolivia turksonCardinal Turkson with PICO delegation at World Movements in Bolivia
The Podesta email discussed that PICO and the Vatican would agree to keep dialoguing about social justice issues at the July 2015 World Meeting of Movements in Bolivia where Pope Francis would speak to global political activists. The PICO delegation received a personal invite from the Vatican to attend the World Meeting of Movements. PICO did attend the Bolivian meeting, along with their Vatican comrades, Cardinals Turkson and Maradiaga and Pope Francis.
The PICO Bolivia trip to the World Meeting of Movements even afforded the PICO delegation the opportunity to share the podium with the Pope, as Francis focused on the obtuse beatitude of “environmental dignity.” Social justi ce activists, like PICO, can quickly adapt and pivot from police brutality and racial inequality to echo Francis concerns about “the impact of climate change on thousands of families.”
While in Bolivia at the World Meeting of Movements, Pope Francis received a revolving gift from Bolivian President Evo Morales, the radical socialist activist. Morales gave the Pope a crucifix swathed with a blasphemous communist hammer and sickle. Catholics were scandalized and horrified over this profanation and politicization of the most precious symbol of Catholicism. Apparently, the Vatican took no offense at the gift because President Morales was invited to the Vatican to share the podium with another socialist, Bernie Sanders in April 2016.
Welcome to Francis Church where Jesuitical political action replaced the mundane and tedious teaching of the salvation of souls. The faded and threadbare Bernardin seamless garment of social justice is resurrected from mothballs by the troubling alliance of the Soros global network and the Francis Church. It’s time to guard your faith and your wallet.
Any mention of “Methodist”. Adam Hamilton or Jim Wallis?
Bttt.

Uh...no. The Spirit moved men to write the Scriptures.
There was no roman catholic church involved.
No, honestly, I don’t know why you’re suggesting this and I have no idea what you mean by the playground.
You just seem to be making a dopey characterization of Unam Sanctam and then laughing at your own dopeyness as if it were embedded in the document itself.
The playground reference means to put up or hush up.
No, the Catholic church did not *write* the Scripture.
The entirely of the OT was in existence long before the Catholic church came into existence.
And God tells us that men moved along by the Holy Spirit wrote Scripture.
2 Timothy 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
The Catechism written almost 2,000 years after Scripture was penned?
Same church?
Not by a long shot.
Prove that the catechism is on the same level as God breathed, Holy Spirit inspired Scripture.
All of them are between 70 and 78.
Ooh ok so the Spirit inspired Matthew Mark Luke and John and Paul and Peter and James to write. Good. Then did He also inspire all the Churches around the world to accept these writings? Like say you were in Smyrna, and in comes a messenger from Rome holding an Epistle from, say, Peter. How do you know it's real? How do you accept that it's inspired? Is that the Holy Ghost as well?
EXACT. SAME. CHURCH. Same sacraments, same hierarchy, same beliefs.
Prove that the catechism is on the same level as God breathed, Holy Spirit inspired Scripture.
You seem stuck in this paradigm of assuming the book came first, and everything else after it. Absolutely not. The CHURCH is the pillar and ground of the truth....both the Scriptures and the Catechism flow from the Spirit working in the Church. The SAME Church now as it was then.
It's not unlike the roman catholic to underestimate the role of the Holy Spirit.
Then you can show us where we are to pray to Mary or where idols of Mary are given the ok.
Perhaps you can show us the "offices" of the papacy, cardinal, archbishop, etc.
Perhaps you can show us nuns.
Penance?
Authority centralized in Rome?
We can keep playing.
btw...still waiting on your explanation of what boniface wrote.
What I *do* know though is that we DO NOT have to believe something just because the Pope said it. When the Council Fathers of Vatican I formulated the dogma of infallibility, they had right in front of them the Acts of the Sixth Ecumenical Council where Pope Honorius....POPE Honorius....was anathematized for playing cute with Sergius and the Monothelite heresy. And of course the passage in Galatians of Paul upbraiding Peter is famous.
Papal authority has definite limits, and if the Pope says the Cubs didn't win or that the sky isn't blue, no one has to believe him. So that was not meant by Unam Sanctam. And did the Papal States spread to the boundaries of the known world in 1302? No. So I can't see Unam Sanctam as meaning that every person has to be a *political* subject of the Pope. And if the Pope says there are eight sacraments or Christ is not God then he's a heretic and no one has to believe him there either.
The Pope's got one job--to protect the faith we've already been given by Christ through Peter and the Apostles. Insofar as he is doing that job, you better darn well believe every human being is subject to him because he holds Peter's office. If he's not, well, then, you get situations like Paul opposing him to the face.
I didn't think you understood it. Suggest you read up on the history and background of what boniface said.
He was claiming authority over everything.
I don't underestimate Him at all ealgeone, I just think too many Christians are running around claiming the Spirit and are really just full of baloney. Because the Spirit doesn't teach opposing doctrine to different people.
The Holy Spirit that inspired the Gospels also *accepted* the Gospels as authentic in the worldwide (catholic) Church, compiled them into a single body, preserved them intact throughout the ages, preserves doctrinal unity, and continues to shepherd the Church today.
The dogmatic statements on Mary cannot be supported by Scripture.
Penance is not supported in Scripture.
So much of roman catholicism cannot be supported by Scripture. The very ones the catholic claims they "gave" the world.
Rome/Pope
“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give YOU the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever YOU bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever YOU loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Nuns:
“[Jesus] said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.”
Penance, John 20:
“He said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins YOU forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins YOU retain are retained.”
