On May 17, I published an article in the Italian newspaper La Verità about pope Benedicts abdication. A few days before, in a renowned Italian geopolitical magazine called Limes, Professor Germano Dottori had argued that Joseph Ratzingers 2013 abdication, and the former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconis resignation in 2011, after a financial storm sold to public opinion as a public debt crisis, were the result of pressures on the part of Obama administration in the United States.

If the Clinton campaign got any money from the Vatican for political purposes, it would be illegal per se. The fact that it would be tax-exempt money compounds a felony.
I would love to see this story be proven in a court of law. It would destroy the Clintons and this radical pope.
The Pope of Rome donating to the pro-abortion candidate in a U.S. election!
I tell people all the time that the statements he makes against abortion are just prolefeed.
If he hadn’t resigned, it would have only delayed the inevitable. Francis was going to be elected sooner or later.
...with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked...
Wonder what her preacher friend Bill Shillady has to say about that?
I hope Dennis Prager expounds on this article next week.
The evil of the Left is endless.
Obama would want to have a fellow traveler in office who would look up to him
