Liberal Clergy, Prominent US Catholics Hold Closed Door Meeting to Strategize Against Francis’ ‘Opposition’

The meeting has been likened to the meetings of the Sankt Gallen Mafia in Europe.

CHICAGO (LifeSiteNews) — A select group of high-ranking U.S. prelates, along with the Papal Nuncio and Vatican curial officials, secretively gathered in Chicago recently to “understand the spirit of what they call the ‘opposition’” to Pope Francis, and to promote the ideology of Vatican II.

Between March 25 and 26, as Pope Francis was praying the act of consecration of Russia and Ukraine, a conference was held at Loyola University Chicago entitled “Pope Francis, Vatican II, and the Way Forward.”

Jointly sponsored by Boston College’s Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life, along with Loyola University Chicago’s Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage, and Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture, the conference was conducted almost entirely under the media radar.

Writing March 25 (in the only report of the event at the time), The Torch revealed that the event was the brainchild of Fr. Mark Massa, S.J. – the director of the Boisi Center – and Michael Sean Winters, a senior editor for the dissident National Catholic Reporter (NCR).

The conference itself was billed as a place wherein theologians and clerics could meet and discuss, in imitation of the Common Ground event, begun in 1996 by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, known for his promotion of ecumenism and reputed homosexual tendencies.

Meeting of ‘centrist bishops,’ prominent prelates bound by moderate secrecy

Fr. Massa told The Torch of the selectively invited participants, saying that in addition to unnamed members of Catholic media, the participants included “centrist bishops … who are open to having a conversation.”

Just herd the “opposition” into reeducation camps.

You know you want to.

They will die off as part of The Biological Solution.

The Beast is being starved of ca$h and the youth needed to indoctrinate.

The youth, with traditional, authentic, faithful Catholics will eventually win by waiting out the Modernists.

I’m one of the traditional Catholics who has been vilified for retaining a conservative Catholic ideology by this Pope.
The more I’m told”I’m influenced by Satan” for the beliefs taught me by the church, the more I pull away from it.
My home parish, thank God does not prescribe to most of what this Pope speaks. It’s what has kept me Catholic
Papal marxist apostates can pound.
