Cardinal Mueller: It would be catastrophic if the Cardinals elect another Francis

Editor’s Note: It was catastrophic that the Cardinals and Bishops allowed a heretic remain in his claim to be the Pope. But, it’s always better late than never, that a Cardinal speak more plainly. Only that, here, he is going to cause a lot of confusion: because a formally condemned heretic cannot be elected, and a man who has not formally been condemned, can be rebuked and give up his heresy. So the Cardinal is talking about individuals who are manifest and formal heretics, but not yet public or pertinacious, in a canonical sense.

And yes it would be a catastrophe, a continuing catastrophe. But if the Cardinals do something more than talk about such problems, every such catastrophe in the Church can be repaired, if a Provincial Synod in the Roman Province be called and the errant pope be remonstrated with to give up such errors.

However, if the election be valid juridically, Christ’s prayer will intervene and prevent the worst from happening, as we have seen in the last 2 years in the case of Pope Francis, who stepped back and withdrew all requirements that ‘Fiducia supplicans’ be implemented. The backlash he received from Bishops opposing him on that document’s heretical teaching, was a sure sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit working among the Bishops, which is the result of Christ’s High Priestly prayer.

BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA: Cardinal Pujic, changes mind, will attend the Conclave

Editor’s Note: This is a good sign that the Catholic faction among the Cardinals is taking action to encourage all the Cardinals, of whatever health, to do their duty and join them in saving the Church. It is also sign, that the Lord Jesus is granting graces in response to the millions of daily prayers of the Faithful, that we get a Catholic as the next Pope. — And this Cardinal appears to have more integrity than the others, since he will attend the Conclave, but not the funeral. — He is a known public critic of Pope Francis over the document, “Fiducia supplicans“, which remains of the greatest and most diabolic attacks against the Second Commandment of the Decalogue in world history.

His decision, raises the number of Cardinal Electors who will be attending from 133 to 134. And if Cardinal Becciu wins his case to vote, that number will rise to 135.

This does not change the number of votes necessary to win, since that remains at 90, since to be elected a candidate must receive 2/3+1, when the total number of cardinals is not divisible by 3.

Pope Francis was first pope to open a Jubilee Year, but not finish it

Editor’s Note: In a certain sign of disfavor, since the Jubilee year is a year of mercies, that Pope Francis died without finishing it through, shows that God gave the Church the greatest mercy He could, in this Jubilee. And that He did this on Easter Monday, shows that it is a fruit of His Resurrection, of triumph over death and darkness.

As I remarked earlier this year, it is also the best thing that could happen as far as Papal revenue, since if the Cardinals elect someone who would be wildly popular with those Catholics who can afford to pilgrimage to Rome, having a new Pope in a Jubilee year, would bring massive crowds of pilgrims to the Eternal City.

For this reason, I think that if we get a Pope to “Make the Church great again”, all the circumstances i which the Vatican finds itself with cause auto-ignition in his popularity and make this Jubilee Year a year to remember in the life of the Church until the end of time. Let us pray that God will give us a Pope, to begin the Great Catholic Reset, which Pope Benedict XVI prepared by his fake abdication, making the first 10 years of Pope Francis’ papacy easily and canonically able to be invalidated.

The Irish Cardinal who, as Camerlengo, is now running the Vatican City State

Editor’s Note: In the plethora of reports about the Vatican in these days some major factual errors are being made. The greatest, is calling the Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chambers, the Cardinal, who runs the Vatican during the sede vacante, and until the new Pope accepts his election, a “U. S. Cardinal”, when he is in fact a native born Irishman. He did acquire U. S. Citizenship, but that does not change his ethnicity or origins. — He is a former Legionnaire of Christ, and while member of that religious Order, while serving in Washington, D. C., he transferred to that Diocese and left that order. — His major resume problem is that while he was a roommate in a four bedroom house-apartment, with Cardinal McCarrick, who regularly slept with his seminarians, he is reported to have “seen nothing”.

Cardinal Farrel, who was recently appointed by Pope Francis, to save the unfunded Pension Fund for Vatican workers, will undoubtedly be asked by many Cardinals to explain the financial problems of the Apostolic See, and as a former financial professional, he will be able to give them a lot of information about the issue.

Why all the prognostications of who will be the next pope will be wrong

Editorial by Br. Alexis Bugnolo, Editor of FromRome.info

During the sede vacante of the Apostolic See, following the death of every true pope, we are won’t to be offered the opinions of many persons, inside and outside of the Church regarding who is a likely candidate to be elected as the next pope.

While no single man can save the Church or destroy Her, since God the Holy Spirit cares for Her and Christ Jesus defends and governs Her, a single man can do great good or great evil. Pope Francis is a prime example of the latter.

But as to whom the Cardinals elect, it is from history shown, that practical questions play a much stronger role than ideological ones, after the death of a Pope who has financially ruined the Apostolic See, which if the Main Stream Media has told you, is one the verge of if not already in a de facto insolvency, or bankruptcy.

Thus, the Cardinals, most of whom were bishops who governed and managed dioceses, are going to have on their mind the necessity of electing someone who can save the Vatican financially.

As I have opined before, this will require not only personal characteristics, but also a background which enables the collaboration of Catholics all over the world with such a man, because when it comes to fundraising and financial reforms, the problem is more in public relations than in investments, since the Church lives by the offerings of Her faithful.

Thus, we can exclude all those possible candidates who participated in Pope Francis’ financial ruin of the Vatican, because, even if they know how to fix the problem, no one outside the Vatican will believe they have the moral integrity to do it. And that is an essential qualification for office, when it comes to asking big donors to open up their purses. This is even more true now that USAID has been cut-off.

For this reason, we can also strike off the list of possible candidates, the men whom the Cardinals will likely see as incapable of garnering support from the entire Catholic world: and this includes all the ideological fellow travelers of Pope Francis, whom true Catholics the world-over find to be detestable hypocrites, and not men of God.

This second group to be excluded does not include only those in the Vatican, but many of the Cardinals named in nearly every news article by the Main Stream Media as “leading” or “possible” candidates.

Third, the candidate has to be from a country where the faithful are financially capable and wiling to back his reforms. This means a candidate has to share the values of that nation’s major donors.

From this we can exclude all the possible candidates from Italy and all nations which are not in the G7, in my opinion. We can also exclude all the candidates from those nations in the G7 which are liberal and want the moral degradation promoted by the Globalists.

Likewise, I think the intelligence agencies in the West will be giving strong signals to the Cardinals not to elect someone who is in the BRICS orbit, simply because the geopolitical strategies of NATO and the European Union would consider such a candidate as too great of a threat to their national interests.

Finally, the next Pope will not garner confidence if he has been a known applauder of Pope Francis, because all such men will be considered suspect by faithful Catholics and faithful Clergy the world over.

I will end my prognostication here. You can be sure, therefore, we are not going to get a new Pope From Asia, Africa or South America, simply because these nations are too poor and their cardinals do not have the contacts necessary to financially support a reform at the Vatican.

And the biggest problem at the Vatican is the financial problem. But seeing that there are Catholic organizations like the Knights of Columbus, which has an investment portfolio of 85 Billion U.S. Dollars, who will have their lobbyists at Rome, in these weeks, I tend to think a candidate who espouses their family and conservative values will be elected, even though it appears nearly impossible that such a man be the next pope, due to the numbers of men appointed by Pope Francis. And I base this prognostication on the fact that, all the Cardinals, no matter what their theological positions and their political allegiances, want the Vatican City State to remain in existence, a thing it cannot do without money and popularity among the Faithful world-wide, but especially in the affluent West.

As to the age of the man to be elected, since the College of Cardinals is very divided, I think it is even more certain, that the next Pope will be very old and in bad health, because only such a man could garner support from all the Cardinals, whatever their and his theological positions be, because he will not be expected to live long.

If you would like to speculate on your own, see the complete list of living Cardinals by name here, and by age, here, and for other lists of the same, see here.

However, note that I did not say that the next pope will be a Cardinal, because the Cardinals can elect a non-cardinal. He just has to be male, a Catholic, and not under ecclesiastical censures, currently unmarried, by law, and never divorced or living in public sin out of common sense. That excludes very many men, but also it excludes Archbishop Viganò, who was excommunicated by Pope Francis “Dicastery” (Greek for “tribunal”) for the Doctrine of the Faith.

As for the report (see below) that Pope Francis spent his pontificate trying to fix the financial problems he inherited from Pope Benedict XVI: that is a total lie. There never was an major financial problem, until Francis and his motley crew of crooks and moral degenerates put their hands on it and robbed and squandered 10 years of Peter Pence’ collection saved frugally by Pope Benedict XVI.

WEF to investigate Klaus Schwab for financial malfeasance, corruption

Editor’s Note: If there is any honest man among the Cardinals, then in one of the General Congregation, being held before the Conclave opens, he should cite this article and demand that Cardinal Farrel and the 3 cardinals assisting him, produce the documents requested by Attorney Yore, so that no one say that the Vatican is more corrupt than the W.E.F.. — Among the questions to be asked is where the missing 4 billion euros, which were in the Vatican Bank during the reign of Pope Benedict XVI went to?

Attorney Yore: What needs to be done to cleanse the filth in the Church

Editor’s Note: While you are being psychologically manipulated by thousands of clergy who insist you pray for Pope Francis, Attorney Elizabeth Yore, an internationally recognized expert in the prosecution of sex-traffickers, reminds us that Pope Francis headed an international syndicate of human trafficking, on all levels, and that the Vatican has been entirely taken over and has become a sanctuary for the worst perpetrators in the clergy. — This article will help all Catholics snap back into reality.

All the Papal Candidates whom British Freemasonry despises the most

Editor’s Note: It is not my attention to weary the eyes of the readers of FromRome.Info by reporting or even commenting on very article speculating who might be elected the next pope, but it is sufficient to cite only a few, which give a clear picture, though unintentionally, of who the Globalists and Freemasons want. — The above article is a case in point: it’s one of those elegant slop-propaganda pieces, which no serious Catholic would give credence to, since it opens with a leader which imagines, that being “anti-Francis” is something rare in the Catholic Church and is some sort of new novelty. It also seems to think that the greatest threat to the Catholic Church are those who want the Church to continue teaching the same things as Jesus and the Apostles taught!

The Guardian is one of the leading newspapers of a fallen Kingdom, which chose its own King to be head of the English Church in the 16th century, and where their national church has become such a joke of the woke ideas it pushes, that the number of Catholics in the country now outnumbers the members of that fake church.

In addition to being slop-propaganda (generic anti-Catholic propaganda) it is disinformation, because it attacks not the Cardinals who are the most Catholic, but the Cardinals who spoke out against Pope Francis, but who themselves are some of the most compromised, for having insisted that Pope Francis was a Catholic (Cardinal Mueller), or that he was certainly the Pope, when Benedict XVI had not abdicated (Cardinal Burke), or who attended the Pachamama procession into Saint Peter’s Basilica on Oct. 4, 2019 (Cardinal Sarah). Naively, the Guardian thinks that by attacking the weakest candidates they will convince Catholics to urge the election of the weakest candidates. And in that, the article is also a psyop. Whereas the best candidates are the Cardinals of whom we know nothing, because international freemasonry wants us to know nothing of them: for they are the true candidates which Globalists fear and hate the most.

Cardinal Re, Dean of the College of Cardinals “canonizes” Pope Francis at Rosary

Editor’s Note: If you want to know why the College of Cardinals never did anything in public to protest Pope Francis’ ruinous pontificate, here you have it, in this address by the Dean of the College, before the Rosary offered in suffrage for Pope Francis’ soul: he basically asserts, in a most blasphemous manner, that Pope Francis has gone to Heaven, despite his manifest godless character, in all the years of his “pontificate”.

Catholics, however, imagine the scene where God the Father, at the gates of Heaven, says to Saint Peter the Apostle, “What am I going to do with a man who changed the Our Father, written by My Eternal Son, because, as he said, it is wrong and needs correction? And, what am I going to do with the prayers of all these Catholics, who accepted the change in the Our Father, and still want me to be merciful and hear their prayers for this creep?”

Thankfully, the Cardinal Dean is too old to vote in the Conclave, and thus will not remain in the Sistine Chapel once the Conclave begins its secret sessions and the election of the next pope.

The Holy See is in Sede Vacante since Monday morning

Editor’s Notes: For just the facts, and no commentary or speculation, the Vatican Website, linked through the image above, is the authoritative voice. — Sede Vacante, means that there is an interregnum at the Vatican, which, being a monarchical state ruled by a single individual holding all the power, is without a head of state until the Cardinals elect someone and that man accepts. This means that at every Mass in Christendom, since Monday, the name of no pope is mentioned in the Canon of the Mass, and that Catholics everywhere are praying to God that the next man elected be a Catholic.

Cardinal Becciu claims right to attend Conclave

Editor’s Note: This article from “The Pillar” — a website stared by a group of Canon lawyers, but which nearly always reads the law wrongly or incorrectly — says that Cardinal Becciu insists on attending the Conclave, but that “the Vatican” has denied this.

This is the first clue that the article is worthless, because “the Vatican” means nothing as a legal term. Did the Secretary of State, Cardinal Parolin, deny Becciu’s request?

Seemingly no.

All that happened is that the Vatican website published a list of Cardinal Electors, which does not include the name of Cardinal Becciu.

So Cardinal Becciu is correct in saying that this list has no canonical value.

Also, since Cardinal Becciu claims that there is no written document removing his right to vote in a conclave, he has the right, if his claim be true, and it would be a grave violation of the Papal Law to exclude him.

Furthermore, he claims that when he verbally renounced his rights, prior to his prosecution for mismanagement and theft of Vatican funds, he never put it in writing.

It remains to be seen if his “renunciation” was made before a Vatican tribunal or if before the Pope. If it was made privately before the Pope and no rescript was written to document the “renunciation”, then the Cardinal must be presumed to keep his voting rights, because, when it regards a question of rights, one never presumes that they have ended, one needs documented and testified evidence.

“The Pillar”, therefore, has struck out three times on this report. And the facts of the case are still not clear.

A professional news site, L’Unione Sarda reports that Cardinal Becciu will attend the Conclave:

If the facts are as the Cardinal claims, then his exclusion from the Conclave will be the first definitive sign that the Conclave will be canonically irregular and perhaps invalid. The Cardinals cannot refuse another Cardinal who has not renounced his rights in a due manner, that is documented way: either before witnesses who gave witness or before a tribunal. If they do refuse him, without such evidence, it appears that the Conclave’s election will be invalid, if the “winning” candidate does not obtain the 2/3+1 votes which would have been necessary had Becciu been admitted. However, since the papal law requires that the Cardinals not discuss anything after the Conclave, it seems difficult to admit how such a case could be verified, if all the Cardinals agree to exclude Becciu regardless of his rights.

Cardinal Becciu will have to find another Cardinal, elector or not, who will take up his cause in one of the General Congregations and demand that it be heard: that is, demand that evidence be brought forth that Pope Francis deprived him of his right to participate in the Conclave. If he merely willingly forwent his rights so that he could be prosecuted in a Vatican tribunal, but gave no written renunciation, even his verbal “renunciation” would be doubtful: and then, it must be presumed that he kept his rights.

At least, he should be allowed to attend the General Congregations, because even Cardinals who are not electors, are allowed to attend. And as a matter of fact, Cardinal Becciu is still listed as a Cardinal in the Annuario Pontificio, it appears, since Catholic-Hierarchy.org still lists him as a Cardinal.

YORE: It is time now for True Catholics to go to war!

Editor’s Note: The fervor here is great. But the information she is asking is not publicly available. And if the Trump Administration is dragging its feet about other revelations of information, certainly gutting the narrative that Conclaves are free acts not influenced by the U.S. Government is probably something that Trump’s National Security Advisor would not advise right now.

But it would be good if the U.S. government admitted its role in the Conclave of 2013 and the “resignation” of Pope Benedict XVI. — As for the Vatican releasing information, I think the entire idea of Cardinal Re calling the First Congregation of the Conclave yesterday, and getting insiders elected to “assist” Cardinal Farrel — McCarrick’s former room-mate, who “saw nothing” — is about something entirely different: destroying evidence. — But I do agree, the Bergoglian party will stop at nothing to keep their revolution going.

A Divided or Deadlocked Conclave?

We Catholics need to prepare ourselves for a bitter fight among the Cardinals. It may be that they divide into two factions and each claims to have elected the true pope, with one holding the Vatican and one holding the Diocese of Rome.

However, I want to make it clear, that according to the Papal Law, if the Conclave becomes divided and each side claims to have elected a true Pope, the presumption is first of all that neither side has elected a true pope, because the Papal Law requires that the entire College of Voting Cardinals by a 2/3+1 majority agree upon the same man, and in the case of a division in the Conclave, if one side has 1/3+1 of the votes, then no side has 2/3+1. Also, they cannot change the place of the election without 2/3+1 of the votes. Thus if each group claims to have elected the pope in another place than the Sistine Chapel, the presumption is that the election is invalid. Moreover, if the Swiss Guard or Vatican Police intervene in any manner, the presumption is that the election is invalid on account of the use of force, unless otherwise be determined by sound testimonies.

As for us Catholics, who are not Cardinal Electors: in the case of two different men being elected by two different factions, WE CANNOT adhere to either faction, we must work to convince both candidates to renounce and that the entire College of Cardinals return into Conclave to follow the Papal Laws, even if this reconciliation takes several years. In such a case where both candidates are canonically invalid popes (because neither got 2/3+1 votes), we can and ought to adhere to neither, and we should follow clergy who do the same: not adhere to either. But in such a confused case, I think it would not be a sin to attend mass of either faction, if you have need to receive the Sacrament, because Our Lord is a God of mercy and not rigor, for us laity, when the problem is caused by two factions of the entire clergy, who are both at fault.

President Donald Trump to attend Pope Francis’ Funeral

Editor’s Note: On first sight, this decision appears to be nothing but respect for the Catholics who voted him into office.

On second glance, it certainly will be an occasion for the newly elected American President to meet with many world leaders who also value and respect the role the Catholic Church has in international relations and domestic affairs.

But on third view, it also means that Donald Trump wants to impress upon the Cardinals that they better not elect another open-border, tear-down-those-walls, pro bloated-government socialist cleric like Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

But on a forth consideration: Pope Francis was a Freemason; his own security chief at the Vatican Embassy in Argentina admitted it. Thus, all the leading Freemasons round the world will come to pay their respects to him for having single-handedly destroyed the Catholic Church more ably than any of their past plans and projects.

The attendance of the U.S. President, finally, aslo means that on Saturday, Rome will be crawling with U.S. Governmental staff, CIA agents, NSA spies, FBI officers, and the President’s personal bodyguard, the Secret Service.

Why, there will be more concealed pistols and machine guns, than available parking places!

The Funeral will be held in the Piazza of Saint Peter’s, which during Papal Masses, such as this, is part of the Vatican Territory, though it is otherwise part of Italian Territory. However, it is certain that the security forces of both States will be most active in and about the Piazza on Saturday, especially since the American President has been the target of multiple assassination plots in the last year.
