French President Emmanuel Macron is reportedly pressuring cardinals to block Cardinal Robert Sarah, a conservative African prelate challenging the Church’s progressive path.
French President Emmanuel Macron is facing renewed criticism after it was revealed that he is trying to influence one of the most sacred processes in the Catholic church—the papal conclave. The allegation, made by Cardinal Péter Erdő, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest, centers on purported communications between Macron and several French cardinal electors aimed at blocking the candidacy of Cardinal Robert Sarah.
The Cardinal has said that “the West no longer knows who it is, because it no longer knows and does not want to know who made it, who established it, as it was and as it is. The West refuses to acknowledge its Christian roots.”
“By losing its faith, Europe has also lost its reason to be. It is experiencing a lethal decline and is becoming a new civilization, one that is cut off from its Christian roots.”
Cardinal Erdő, a senior prelate with longstanding influence in Central Europe, revealed that these alleged “contacts” were part of a broader effort to marginalize Cardinal Sarah, a Guinean-born cleric widely viewed as the intellectual and spiritual standard-bearer of Catholic traditionalism. Sarah has built a global reputation for his unflinching defense of orthodoxy, particularly on issues such as the sanctity of the liturgy, clerical celibacy, and opposition to what he calls the “dictatorship of relativism.”

I believe Pope Benedict XVI coined that term.
This creep’s “wife” is a tranny old enough to be his father. Yeah great, give him a role in selecting the new Pope.
It used to be that certain powerful Catholic rulers could veto a possible pick they didn’t like. Maybe 1903 was the last time that was attempted.
Perhaps they should move the papacy back to Avignon.
Blocking the African Cardinal?
Sounds racist.

Last time around the Successor bowed out for his Marxist replacement!
Couldn’t have been any funny political stuff going on there!!! /s
The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth. This is why there is no pope in heaven right now.
Gee, why aren’t they all calling Macron a racist?
(We know why.)
He’s always sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong.
Soon we will see rainbow colored smoke and the raising of the palestinian flag indicating we have trans muslim woman who identifies as a bald cat and goes by They/Whatnow pronouns...
These pathetic people are always seeking approval from mankind. Biblically speaking, that is the opposite of what you should seek.
Yes, the concept of Euro secular leaders vetoing papal candidates is called “Jus exclusivae.”

Macron’s Bourbon predecessors pulled it off several times.
Obama and Hillary schemed to install Francis. They wanted a ready chorus of evil standing behind them while they preached their gospel of the NWO.
They need this even more today, Macron is just playing his part in this round of globalist scheming.
This is why we have Starmer, Sheinbaum and recently Carney now installed into place surrounding the USA. All to support their WEF masters descent into the anti-Christ ‘Great Reset.’
