I wonder if Obama used his weaponized intelligence agencies to engineer Benedict’s removal and Bergoglio’s election.

I wouldn’t put it past him.

I do wonder what they did to Benedict.

When we do find out, I think it'll be a shocker. Remember that the Soviets perfected drugs in their psychiatric prisons that degrade psychological independence.

And --- am I paranoid? --- I find is disturbing that Pope Benedict is never seen without his private secretary (manager? handler?) Georg Gänswein, Prefect of the Papal Household --- the one who promoted the surely invalid idea that there is now an expanded "Petrine Ministry" with one active, and one contemplative "member".
