Editor’s Note: Since nearly every Cardinal quoted at Vatican News has engaged in the most absurd and obscene outrages of blasphemy, by claiming Pope Francis was a paragon of virtue, I cannot see what the Cardinals are asking for, except the grace to be struck down by God before they vote, because it is absolutely clear that at least some of them have no intention of electing a man who will protect the Mystical Bride of Christ, but are rather plotting Her eternal rape and depredation by lies, heresies, errors and every sexual perversion possible.

It certainly seems that in the upcoming Conclave we might see the fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy to the Apostles, “When the Son of Man returns, do you think He will find faith on Earth?” — And that of Our Lady to Melanie, the shepherd girl who saw her at La Salette, France: “Rome will become the seat of the Antichrist”.

Why does no Bishop publicly decry the godless blasphemies which are being preached each day of the Novendiales of Pope Francis’ funeral? It is not like there is any authority in the Church who could punish them for doing so. Why it is not even a canonical crime.

Catholics commit a bitter act of cowardice to be silent in these days, because it is now that the whole Church needs to know the truth.

UPDATE: Here are some recent examples of the outrageous blasphemies being made:

This cardinal was recently accused by victims of raping them when he was in Poland before Pope John Paul II was elected. So why is he saying that Pope Francis is a saint? I think it is obvious.

Editor’s Note: In the next 7 days, what the Cardinals all learned today about the financial problems is going to weigh on their minds. The Cardinals in charge of these parts of the Vatican finances explained the problems. Obviously, they personally are unable to solve them. This implies that an outsider must be elected the next pope.

So far 180 Cardinals are present. But only 124 electors have arrived. The two Cardinals who will not vote due to illness have not yet been identified. The Vatican spokesman said their names would NOT be divulged, “because they are struggling with health problems”! — This is bizarre. Not knowing their names, how can the public verify that they are not attending willingly and freely, rather than because they have been threatened or coerced or blackmailed into not attending?

However, in the Italian version of the same report, we get a lot more information, for example, that Cardinal Puljic will be attending, but because of his health, he will vote from his room at Santa Marta. Santa Marta not being big enough, some Cardinals will reside at Rome, outside of Vatican territory during the Conclave. — This is very concerning, since these Cardinals would be able to be in communication with foreign governments, to be influenced or coerced, bribed or blackmailed.

Here is the google translation of the Italian version:

Editor’s Note: Something strange is going on at the Vatican News, English version, website. I noticed yesterday in the above report a glaring typographical error:

More than three-quarters of them (108) were appointed by Pope Francis, while 22 were created by Benedict XVI, and five by St. John Paul II, making them the “veterans” of the Conclave. They the French Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, Croatian Cardinal Josip Bozanić , Cardinal Vinko Puljić from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Cardinal Peter Turkson from Ghana.

Now it reads:

More than three-quarters of them (108) were appointed by Pope Francis, while 22 were created by Benedict XVI, and five by St. John Paul II, making them the “veterans” of the Conclave. They are: French Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, Croatian Cardinal Josip Bozanić , Cardinal Vinko Puljić from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Cardinal Peter Turkson from Ghana.

But the error remains. I have bold faced each version in the crucial phrase to make it easier for you the reader to see it.

As English native speakers know, the verb “are” is required. But if you add it, “are” is not followed by a colon (:).

The version is still incorrect for two reasons: “They” should be “These”, and since either is intended to refer to the 5 veteran cardinals, why are only 4 Cardinals named?

From these exceedingly glaring errors it appears that on a weekday, the English language editor or proof-reader was entirely absent or has quit. Moreover, that no one at the Vatican even reads the English language version of Vatican News.

Maybe staff are quitting now that they realize they were used in publishing false information about Pope Francis’ continual medical recovery this Spring, which ended strangely in death. (sarcasm)

In addition, this report says that the Cardinal from Bosnia and Herzegovina will attend the conclave, but another report claims that two Cardinals will not attend. These two were assumed to be the Spanish Cardinal of Valencia and the Cardinal from Bosnia Herzegovina, but the names of the two who cannot attend for health reasons was not stated, leaving the entire Vatican press corps guessing.

Editor’s Note: These dangerous chemicals were concentrated in sewage sludge, which was then used as fertilizer or topsoil on farms and new homes. — Documents show that major U.S. chemical companies knew of the toxicity of these chemicals since the 1950’s, but the U.S. Government allowed their use, to poison and kill as many people, quietly, as possible.

Editor’s Note: As reported above, one of the actions of the General Congregations of the Cardinals before a Conclave is to elect 3 Cardinals every 3 days to assist the Camerlengo in the running of the Vatican. But the names of these three Cardinals were reported during the First and Seventh General Congregation, but not the Fourth. — Why on earth?

Critique by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

I publish, above, a link to this interview (click the image) for the sake of the historical record.

As can be seen the Archbishop has advanced an opinion regarding the juridical invalidity of Pope Francis’s pontificate which is unique in the Church.  For he holds that Pope Benedict XVI validly resigned, but that the Conclave of 2013 was invalid due to vote canvassing. Thus, he holds that the upcoming Conclave will be canonically invalid for having Cardinal Electors not appointed by a true pope and having too many of them, 135 instead of 120.

He also holds the position that he has always been faithful to the Church and had begun to denounce unworthy candidates to the episcopate nearly 30 years ago, and explains under this light how he has been persecuted since then, even though he went along with all the other Cardinals in accepting Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation as an abdication, which it was not.

Yet, he also holds that the Church needs a Great Catholic Reset, which requires that Pope Benedict XVI never abdicated.

It is easy to make a claim, but it is not reasonable that anyone make a claim without evidence. That is why it is reasonably claimed that Pope Benedict XVI never abdicated, because there is no act made by him which is conformable to the terms of canon 332 §2. — Yet, while sometimes Archbishop Viganò says things which imply this is the case, but at other times the opposite.

For example if you say the Conclave of 2013 was invalid because of vote-canvassing, or because Jorge Mario Bergoglio was a heretic or Freemason before he was elected, then you are also taking the position that Pope Benedict XVI validly resigned.

Also, if you take the position that the next Conclave will be invalid due to the participation of Cardinal Electors appointed by Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio), you have to demonstrate that either there is canonically demonstrable evidence of vote-canvassing in the Conclave of 2013, or that Pope Benedict XVI never resigned, AND that there was no juridically valid election of Pope Benedict XVI’s successor.

Yet, he also advances the thesis of the Great Catholic Reset, which is only possible if Pope Benedict XVI never validly resigned!

These are tall orders. But the Archbishop wants the Catholic world to accept his assertions without proof and without himself being consistent as to which juridical position he is taking.

Thus, while we can have a lot of sympathy for the Archbishop on account of his being persecuted or on account of the great amount of truth which he says, his lack of consistency damages his reputation, because how can anyone agree with a man who this month advances one argument, and the next advances another?

As the readers of FromRome.Info know, since FromRome was the first to extensively cover the vote-canvassing scandal in 2013 (See our Chronology of Reports on Team Bergoglio), and the first to extensively follow the controversy over Pope Benedict XVI’s renunciation, going so far as to publish a Scholastic Question containing the arguments for and against (See our Index to Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation), I have always been consistent in reporting the facts and the laws and not expressing an opinion which runs counter to either. Therefore, to me, the Archbishop seems to be intending to say whatever he calculates, today, will discredit the legitimacy of his ecclesiastical superiors without any intellectual integrity of avoiding claims without basis in facts and law, and when on the morrow another argument seems better, to sustain that one, forgetting he held a different opinion before.

I won’t even mention that the Archbishop thinks that the Russian Federation is fully justified in attacking the Christian Nation of Ukraine.

However, what makes the Archbishop’s position even more curious, is that if after the Death of Pope Benedict on Dec. 31, 2022, he held there was not valid pope, why did he NOT write to the Cardinal Dean to call for a Conclave NOR organize the Faithful of Rome to do it, when the Dean failed to respond to his letter? He was, back then, after all, an Archbishop incardinated at the Vatican, and he would have been fully in his rights to do so! Yet, he is so opposed to such a suggestion, that he not only did not attend the Assembly of the Faithful held on January 30, 2023, in accord with all the rules of Apostolic Right and to fulfill all the requirements of Canon Law, but he studiously avoided even any mention to it, though he was fully informed and invited.

So if the Archbishop laments that no Cardinal has ever contacted him, perhaps it is because he is so inconsistent in his position, that no right-thinking Cardinal would know what to say to him, or what meeting with him would mean, for the Archbishop, objectively speaking, has taken the position of a disgruntled Vatican employee, who is willing to say anything to discredit his employer, but has no intellectual integrity himself, a thing which requires consistency, at the very least.

For the record, many of my friends and supporters have written to the Archbishop sharing information with him from FromRome.Info. He has never responded to them even though he knows who they are and corresponds with some of them regularly.

UPDATE: Father Nix, an influential traditionalist priest in Colorado, has responded to the Archbishop’s interview above, by publicly endorsing the  Sedevacantist thesis that Pope Francis was never a true pope. At the same time, he appears to think that the next Conclave could be legitimate, but only if they elect a Catholic. This is the joke-poney position of all those who were never clear thinkers, but who are successful for publishing click bait. See here for the commentary by Father Nix.

Editor’s Note: Cardinal Cardozo is close to Cardinal Parolin, who was under Pope Benedict XVI the Apostolic Nuncio to his nation, of Venezuela. The Oil Money from the Marxist Dictatorship in Venezuela is thought to have played a major role in bribing cardinals to vote for Jorge Mario Bergoglio in the Conclave of 2013, when Cardinal Sodano, the Cardinal Dean back then, during the General Congregations of that faux-Conclave, sent a message of condolences to the Venezuelan government on the occasion of the Dictator’s death.

For this reason, I think we cannot dismiss the opinion of Cardinal Cardozo, who claims the Conclave will last 2 or 3 days. — An opinion which implies that Cardinal Parolin has been vote-canvassing all spring to be the leading candidate.

This has been my long standing suspicion / observation this spring: there has been an intricate but lengthy media campaign to hide that Pope Francis was dying of cortisone abuse and would live throughout 2025, along with the nasty media reactions which appeared to have been requested by Cardinal Parolin, in having Andrea Cionci’s blog erased from existence without notice, and Archbishop Vigano’s interview on Mediaset cancelled without explanation; not to mention the rush to begin both the General Congregations the day after Pope Francis’ death, without giving foreign Cardinals any chance to arrive in Rome in time, and the rush to start the Conclave on May 7th, when it could well have been called to begin as late as May 10th/11th.

All these strange oddities favor insiders, and no one is more an insider that Cardinal Parolin, the late pope’s Secretary of State.

For a short biography of Cardinal Pietro Parolin, see here.

Corroboration?

From the next report, click below, an anonymous source says that the choice to have Cardinal Parolin preach on Sunday, last, was a sign that he is a leading candidate:

However, I would dispute this, because the role of honor is assigned to the Cardinal Dean, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, who was just confirmed by all his peers in January, and celebrated Pope Francis’ funeral the day before.

In fact, if the Conservatives cannot agree to block the election of a rabid Globalist, nor propose a winning candidate, they might try to name Cardinal Re, who being 91+ years old, will not live long. — That will give them time to organize for the next conclave in a few years. Cardinal Re was the right hand man of Pope John Paul II, who from 1988 onward co-consecrated with the Polish Pope, nearly all the Bishops he personally consecrated, thus making him highly respected, a known figure, and at least a moderate if not a liberal, who being so old can still remember the pre-Vatican II religion, being ordained a priest in 1957, when the Church was still sane.

For a short biography of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, see here.  Cardinal Re is known to be anti-Masonic and holds a Doctorate in Canon Law. He was considering a leading successor of Pope John Paul II, in the conclave of 2005. Cardinal Re issued the decree lifting the excommunications of the Bishops of the Society of St. Pius X, and is strongly pro-life. He also played a pivotal role in disciplining Cardinal McCarrick. — For all these reasons, I think conservatives and all the new Cardinals would easily be persuaded to support his candidacy as a stop-gap to someone much worse.

And being friendly to Cardinal Parolin, the latter’s own supporters, at least some of them, could be persuaded to shift their votes to the Cardinal Dean, whose election would be subtle enough not to enrage the liberals and globalists, but decisive enough to break with the regime of Pope Francis.

Editor’s Note: I normally avoid publishing articles from strange theological points of view, like feminist theology, but since this author attempts to co-opt the phrase I coined, “The Great Catholic Reset”, I sense she is committing a sexist micro-aggression against me as a man (sarcasm).  But what is worse, is that she has dumped the words “Great” and “Catholic” and replaced it with the word,  “wholesale”, which as native English speakers know is associated with cheep prices, not precious items, and bulk quantities, not qualities. — Obviously she is delusional since she implicitly wants a Church of the like which Christ never founded, nor has any Christian imagined before feminist theology was invented in the last century. — However, to her credit, she points out the reality of Pope Francis, who promised a lot about ending sexual abuse of minors and women, but did precious little.

Editor’s Note: As an Italian-American, myself, I could not be more glad to see one small injustice righted. The national holiday commemorating the discovering the Western Hemisphere was instituted more than a century ago after a wave of anti-Italian hate spread through the country, in which numerous Italians living in the United States were murdered, injured or suffered property loss or loss of their jobs. As the grandson of a hotel waiter and of a barber, I can never forget to be thankful that the U.S. government did one thing right and established a holiday which reminds everyone that it is upon the Christian-Faith inspired journeys of one Genovese navigator, that all the peoples of the New World, European, African and Indigenous, enjoy the benefits of Western Civilization and Christianity.

Editor’s Note: Here in Italy there are several State run television stations. And in addition there are private stations. Of these latter the most influential are those owned by Mediaset, a company founded by Silvio Berlusconi. It was one of these which interviewed the Archbishop, but refused to publish the interview on April 23, two days after the death of Pope Francis. — And yes, Mediaset is owned and controlled by Freemasons, who use the channels they have to morally corrupt Italians with seedy sit-coms, where Jesus and sound morals are never mentioned. — The censorship of this interview followed just days after Il Libero erased the entire blog of Andrea Cionci with his hundreds of articles about Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI’s non-abdication. — It seems, therefore, that the Lodges of Italy are doing what they can to prevent Italians from knowing the truth of history itself.

But this is not the first time the Archbishop was cancelled. Michael Matt did that 18 months ago at his “Catholic Identity Conference”. — Here is one similarity from which Catholics everywhere should begin to see that not every “Catholic” news site is uncontrolled opposition.
