I have no idea whether they did or not. But it is certainly something that bunch would do! No we have a liberal socialist pope setting the conservative church on its head. Maybe the meddling Russians did it!

“criminal abuse of power at the top levels of the U.S. government”
Pretty much describes the Obama/ Clinton legacy.

I sincerely hope that Pres. Trump does look into this, but do it quietly. At the time, I thought Pope Benedict stepping down to study didn't pass the smell test. It was the first time in hundreds of years that a pope had resigned. Then, to have Pope Francis take over and become so involved in world affairs/political affairs was just too strange. Of course, if Pres. Trump announces that he is having it investigated, the out-cry would surpass all of the demonstrations that have happened so far.

Has Celesta Gingrich been appointed ambassador to the Vatican, or was that a possible appointment? If she is the ambassador, Newt would be a tremendous help in ferreting out the real story.

Well, now this could get to be very interesting: Did Obama/Rice/NSA/CIA/Comey spy on the conservative Pope Benedict XVI to replace him with a radical, Pope Francis?

Was Pope Benedict blackmailed into stepping down to allow the left wing Jesuit Francis to become Pope?

**Did billionaire speculator George Soros, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, and Obama/Clinton adviser John Podesta conspire to overthrow the conservative Pope Benedict XVI and replace him with a radical, Pope Francis? Did they use America’s intelligence agencies, and our nation’s diplomatic machinery, political muscle, and financial power to coerce and blackmail “regime change” in the Roman Catholic Church?**

Sounds very reasonable. Time will tell.

If true, this adds a very sinister demension to the Deep State Thugs who control so much of the world.

Their new Pope took some hard shots at candidate Trump and then got his lumps back from Trump!

If true, sounds like Clinton/Huma/Podesta and the DNC were up to their eyeballs with this bs. “We were alarmed to discover,” their letter notes, “that, during the third year of the first term of the Obama administration your previous opponent, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and other government officials with whom she associated proposed a Catholic ‘revolution’ in which the final demise of what was left of the Catholic Church in America would be realized.”

The letter includes footnote links that take the reader to documents and news stories underscoring their charges and pointed questions. It first directs attention to the Soros-Clinton-Podesta e-mails disclosed last year by WikiLeaks, in which Podesta and other “progressives” discussed ending the “middle ages dictatorship” in the Catholic Church. Regarding the e-mails in question, The New American reported last October:

Podesta, a longtime Clinton adviser/confidante and hand-picked top activist for left-wing funder George Soros, revealed in a 2011 e-mail that he and other activists were working to effect a “Catholic Spring” revolution within the Catholic Church, an obvious reference to the disastrous “Arab Spring” coups organized that same year by the Obama-Clinton-Soros team that destabilized the Middle East and brought radical Islamist regimes and terrorist groups to power in the region.

The Podesta e-mail is a response to another Soros-funded radical — Sandy Newman, founder of the “progressive” Voices for Progress. Newman had written to Podesta seeking advice on the best way to “plant the seeds of the revolution” in the Catholic Church, which he described as a “middle ages [sic] dictatorship.” The issue that appeared to be the cause of Newman’s e-mail was opposition by U.S. Catholic Bishops to the federally mandated contraceptive coverage in ObamaCare.

Again follow the money!

How much money has the Catholic Church via its various tax exempt foundations, received from the rats to help receive, process and relocate the so called refugees from the Middle EasT?

An explosion has been reported at the Vatican. There is a video of the scene at the link. This must have just happened as Twitter is the only place I’m finding this so far.
