Use Firefox browser or any browser that can offer to translate the web page. There are some errors in the texts I am copy/pasting...I know little Spanish, sorry. Could anyone check /proofread this short article? That web page shows the Largest Cross in the World too. Looks like the Benedictines are part of the complex too.

Under the world's largest cross,
the Vatican's greatest betrayal

At the top of Cuelgamuros stands the largest Cross in the world. A 150-metre cross that not only crosses the clouds, but has been for decades the testimony of a faith that is not ashamed of its history, its dead or its Redeemer.

That cross, a symbol of reconciliation, sacrifice and forgiveness, is today the target of an operation carefully designed to vary its direction, (diseñada para vaciarla de sentido.) And the most painful thing: with the direct complicity of the Vatican.

On February 25, 2025, while Pope Francis was dying in....
of the Presidency, Felix Bolaños. The motive? Pact the "resignification" of the Valley of the Fallen - now officially called by the Cuelgamuros Government and unlock the exit of the prior Santiago Cantera, uncomfortable for not bending to the official account.

Days later, with the Pope still conva.....
, the agreement was formalized between the Government, the Holy See and Cardinal José Cobo. The result: an international competition to intervene artistically the ship, the atrium, the dome and the lobby of the basilica, that is, everything but the altar. The cult will be formally maintained, yes, but surrounded by museum propaganda to the taste of the left. The formula is not new. Stalin has already successfully rehearsed it: turning temples into museums of atheism. Now, with a chilling nuance: it is the Church itself that accepts it.

This surrender to power is no exception: it is the norm of a Vatican diplomacy that has been selling its children for years. He did so in China, agreeing with the Communist Party to hand over the clandestine Church in exchange for empty promises. He does so in the United States, promoting McElroy, the cardinal of the politically correct, while punishing loyal bishops like Strickland. And now it does so in Spain, giving the left the spiritual heart of our collective memory.

That an openly anti-Christian government be allowed to intervene in a temple in use, with the blessing of the Vatican, is a historical claudication of biblical dimensions. The political desecration of a sanctuary has been negotiated, disguising it as dialogue, culture and reconciliation. But nothing can be reconciled by uprooting roots, manipulating symbols or silencing those who have resisted for decades in prayer and fidelity.

José Cobo, custom-made by the new times, speaks of peace, dialogue and culture of the meeting. Empty words when it comes to ceding the house of God to those who despise his name. Parolin, the architect of the agreement, acts as if the Church were one more chancellor's office, alien to the suffering of the faithful persecuted or humiliated. And Francis, sick,..., probably without full awareness of what was cooked in his name, remains an involuntary witness of a monumental betrayal.

The Valley of the Fallen, with its unwavering Cross, was built as a sign of Christian reconciliation. Today they want to turn it into a tourist attraction with ideological varnish. But don't be fooled: as long as a single Catholic prays there, as long as a soul kneels under that Cross, the Valley will remain a sacred place.

History will judge harshly those who agreed with the persecutors of the faith. And the faithful will not forget.

Exposes the lies that the current gob'mt spread to remove the existing abbot.

"...The cessation of Santiago Cantera as a prior of the Valley of the Fallen has not done well in certain ecclesial environments. Nor in many faithful who have highlighted Cantera's laudable work during these years guarding the Basilica of the Valley along with the rest of the Benedictine community.
In a week's time, the Spring Plenary Assembly of the Spanish bishops will begin and it will surely be a topic to comment widely among the Spanish prelates.
From the day the news of the end of Santiago Cantera's mandate as a prior of the Valley began to circulate the theory of the three trienniums to try to sell to the public that the relay of Cantera as prior was part of the internal ecclesial normality of Solesmes, the abbey on which the Benedictine community of the Valley of the Fallen depends.
After the news, InfoVaticana already pointed out from the very beginning that more than a natural rotation, it was an orchestrated pact at the highest level between the Church and the government of Pedro Sánchez. The official narrative circulating is that Santiago Cantera has been relieved of his position by the Abbot of Solesmes, Geoffroy Kemlin, after exhausting the three trienniums as a prior administrator of the Basilica, but the reality is that Santiago Cantera was the number one objective of Pedro Sánchez's government.
A canonist (who prefers to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals) has explained to this media that the custom of the three trienniums does not exist in Solesmes Abbey. A second source confirms that this theory, that the quarry has ceased because those three trienniums have been exhausted, is absolutely false. Both sources agree that Santiago Cantera has been ten and a half years as a prior, so he should have stopped a year and a half ago. [ Original imbedded link is here].

The expert canonist insists on pointing out that the Solesmes community doesn't work with this. In addition, this canonist who knows the situation has revealed a very significant fact. The appointment of Santiago Cantera as a prior to the Basilica of the Valley of the Fallen was "ad nutum," that is, indefinite, so these sources insist that the cessation of Cantera has nothing to do with the end of the three trienniums and point out that this is a decision agreed between the Government and the Church.
The role of Cardinal Cobo
As reported by the Europa Press agency and has been able to confirm InfoVaticana from solvent sources, the Government held several meetings with the Church in which the president of the Spanish Episcopal Conference (CEE), Luis Argaello, the Cardinal Archbishop of Madrid, José Cobo, and the Pope's nuncio, participated. But since December, it was agreed that the interlocutor with the community and the Holy See should be Cardinal José Cobo, Archbishop of Madrid. On the part of the government, the singing voice has been taken by Minister Felix Bolaños, the architect of the exhumation of the bodies of Francisco Franco and José Antonio Primo de Rivera del Valle de los Caídos.
During all these talks between the Government and Cardinal Cobo, the Vatican's State Secretariat has been informed at all times. It should not be forgotten that both the last time Pedro Sánchez was to the Vatican and weeks later Minister Bolaños, in his meetings with Cardinal Parolin's team, the issue of the Valley of the Fallen was on the table.
Sources from Rome knowing how this process has been conceived have pointed out to this media that the main idea of Pope Francis and the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, was to support the desacralization of the Basilica under the pretext that it is a practice that is usually done with some churches and thus save the frontal clash with the Executive of Pedro Sánchez.
Apparently, Francis and Parolin were Cardinal Cobo, the only one who currently in Spain has the capacity to directly influence the decisions of the Pontiff and the Secretary of State. The Archbishop of Madrid verified the absolute ignorance of the Spanish reality of Francis and Parolin and it had to be he who explained to both the schism that could provoke in the Spanish Church if from the Vatican the desacralization of the Valley of the Fallen was given the approval.
Francis and Parolin responded to the demand of Cardinal Cobo who, for now, has obtained the support of the Holy See to defend before Minister Bolaños the sacredness of the Basilica of the Valley. In return, the price to pay was the head of Santiago Cantera, who was pointed out by the government from minute one as an enemy. So Cobo, with the endorsement of the Vatican and the abbot of Solesmes, made this concession to Bolaños.
Minister Bolaños' statements last Friday after the cessation of Cantera was known were also very revealing. Bolaños celebrated and applauded the formalization of the exit of Cantera as prior of the Valley of the Fallen since according to him, it was inconceivable that a "nostalg" prior of Francoism directed the Benedictine community there. The Minister of the Presidency confirmed Friday to the media that the government had transferred to the Church - the need for a prior outside the democratic, nostalgic values of Francoism to leave the Valley. Said and done.
In the midst of this situation so dantesque, Alfredo Maroto's appointment as the new prior of the Basilica of the Valley is expected to be formalized this week. To Madrid..."
