Editor’s Note: As Archbishop Viganò noticed, on Twitter, look at what cross is hanging around the neck of the Cardinal. — And no, your eyes are not lying to you. That’s the esoteric cross of the kind Pope Francis wore. — This photograph also seems to show that the Cardinal is left-handed, since he is using his left hand for a one-hand sign-language sign. — The other strange thing is, I know of no priest or religious, devoted to Our Lady, who would take a photograph with his head blocking Her image, because to do that is also an esoteric sign, since in the Apocalypse, the dragon seeks to destroy the Child in the Woman’s womb.

What an ugly cross! If one needs to get an explanation it is not religious but some sort of “art”.
The Bergoglio cross, now on his tombstone dishonoring Mary Major, is pagan in design and meaning. Traditional iconography featured only the hallowed and the haloed: images of God or “iconic” saints known to be in His presence and mirror His light. Blessed icons often took the form of rings and jeweled crosses which bore the image of the corpus of Christ; many contained tiny relics of a saint or of the True Cross. Sacred art was never signed (God was the real artist), and forbidden to be bought or sold.
The Bergoglian (now Leonine) pectoral is none of those things. There is nothing mystical or inspired about a flimsily clad youth with goofy smirk, arms crossed and head yoked by a dead sheep, legs straddled in an unseemly obdurate posture, oblivious to the grazing gaggle of rams and ewes behind. The mass-produced silver papal cross typically bears the artist’s signature (Vedele), and is for sale online and gift shops everywhere.
Art historians will recognize pre-Christian stereotypes, for example the pose of the Pharaohs in Egyptian statuary. In life and in death, they were idolized as god-like with power symbols in hand, arms crossed over their chest. Greek sculptors in the 6th century BC developed the Kouros model, “the common man,” a poorly- covered shepherd or goatherd or cowherd with “archaic smile” and holding in his arms, or cross-bodied, one of his animals. These symbolized Greek glorification of the natural world.
Freemasons especially celebrated the “reign” of their brother Francis. Note how the young man on the Bergoglian cross mimics the Masonic ‘chain of union’ posture, i.e. arms crossed over the chest and feet turned out at right angles. These gestures in Illuminati ceremonies honor the pantheism of the ancient pharaohs and Osirus, Egyptian god of life, death, and resurrection. The “dove” above copies the logo of the “Ordo Templi Orientis,” the wings mimicking the horns of Hathor, daughter of the sun god Ra, whose rays and magic spells stream down on the shepherd.
Ann Barnhardt posted a left to right mirror of this image on 16 May with the title:
Let us hope and pray that L14 never dons this wretched Antichristic pectoral cross of the satanist Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago ever again.
I wrote a short email to her, but by the time I’d finished it, I realised she was one of the many “flippers” who now just want to get along with “Pope Leo XIV”.
Following is the meat of what I wrote:
A bit surprised to see that you may be giving “L14” a free pass not only on his earlier use of the Bernadinian / Bergoglian pectoral cross, but also his horns hand sign and his disrespect for Our Lady of Guadalupe.
A 2017 article on that particular horns hand sign and some crass performer:

A slightly different hand sign with the thumb down is believed by some to ward off evil spirits and features in certain Buddha statues and images.
In predominantly Buddhist Thailand it is illegal to take disrespectful pictures of oneself or others in front of Buddha statues and tourists regularly fall foul and find themselves in Thai police stations as a result.
While I don’t support the objects of their protection, I do think they have a point about respect for their deity.
I flipped the image, because, in the official photograph of Prevost, his nose bends to the left side as the viewer sees it; and also because images of Our Lady of Guadalupe always looks to the left, as the viewer sees them.
Ann confirmed that hers is a left to right reversed / flipped image.
So, is Prevost left-handed, or ambidextrous, then?
As I right-hander, I can make this sign with my right hand with ease, but need a very conscious effort to approximate it with my left hand.
That version with the thumb out means “I Love You” in some sign language or so my mother taught me growing up. That topic came up in our household between satan’s handshake and the i-love-you sign
