Traditional Catholic Faith => Crisis in the Church => Topic started by: Geremia on May 05, 2025, 10:45:59 PM
-
There were 26 interventions at the Congregation on Monday morning that touched on the following topics:
- Canon law and the role of the Vatican City State;
- The missionary nature of the Church;
- The role of Caritas in defending the poor;
- The presence of so many journalists was highlighted, seen as a sign that the Gospel has meaning for the world today—as a call to responsibility;
- The prayer during the COVID pandemic was recalled, as an open door of hope in a time of fear;
- Regarding the new Pope: many hope for a shepherd close to the people, a gateway to communion, gathering everyone in the blood of Christ, in a world where the global order is in crisis;
- The challenges of transmitting the faith, caring for creation, war, and a fragmented world were discussed;
- Concern was expressed over divisions within the Church;
- The role of women in the Church, in the context of synodality;
- Vocations, family, and the education of children were addressed;
- Reference was made to the docuмents of the Second Vatican Council, especially Dei Verbum, on how the Word of God is nourishment for the people of God.

:sleep: ...
I do notice from your list that none of these "Princes of the Church" bothered to call for the teaching and preservation of the Deposit of Faith (the mere mention of which got Strickland sacked).
... missionary "but don't proselytize", aka soup kitchens everywhere
... poor
... journalists (Gospel has meaning = wanting to throw up a bit in my mouth, as if the journalists being there mean anything except to get readers)
... COVID prayer [continuing their defense of closing the churches during the Plandemic, and foreshadowing more of that to come]
... shepherd, close to people, gathering, unity [and community] ... puke (how bout TEACHING THE FAITH BY CONDEMNING HERESY?)
... transmitting the faith (which faith .. their heresies?, the ones that all lead to God?) ... creation (tip of hat to Bergoglio's Recyclical), war, etc. [WEF agents]
... divisons (mostly those wicked Trads in mind, who "divide" because you're a pack of heretics)
... role of women (ridiculous ... as if they don't already do everything except consecrate at Mass)
... vocations (destroyed courtesy of Vatican II), family (contracepted into nothing), education of children (being taught heresy at NO catechism classes)
... Vatican II ... the cause of all these problems
What a load of trash from a pack of non-Catholics.
Not a single one of them realize that Vatican II and the New Mass is what has wrecked the Church ... they're all enablers and accomplices, including the smells and bells types like Burke and Sarah, the two "best" they have, who consider the heresiarch Wojtyla a Great Saint. Burke and Sarah are also heretics because they framed their response to Bergoglio's heresy as dubia, "uncertainties", "questions", "doubts". If you "doubt" whether or not divorced/remarried can receive Communion, you're a heretic ... since it's clear Catholic teaching that not only those who reject dogma but those who doubt it are heretics, and if you're uncertain that Bergoglio taught heresy, then you're uncertain of Catholic dogma and a heretic. Many Councils condemned not only the open heretics but those who failed to condemn them.

Alas, probably also a few transgenders.
If you've seen the "Conclave" movie, the guy they roll out at the end actually looks like Tagle, in his mannerisms, his effeminacy, and even physical appearance. If they do roll out Tagle, and many "book" sites are listing him as in a close second-place to Parolin (whose star has been fading), then I'd insist upon a genetic gender verification. Even Taylor Marshall calls him cringe for constantly "weeping". If there was ever a transgender there among the Cardinals, it would be Tagle ... and then "Conclave" was predictive programming.

Today, in the final general congregation (http://"https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2025-05/12th-general-congregation-college-cardinals.html"):
There were 26 interventions, addressing a wide range of topics.
For instance, discussion focused on the reforms of Pope Francis that need to be carried forward: legislation on abuse, economic issues, the Roman Curia, synodality, work for peace, and care for creation.
The theme of communion was emphasized as a calling for the new Pope to be a Pontifex, a builder of bridges, a shepherd, a master of humanity, and the face of a Samaritan Church.
In times of war, violence, and deep polarization, it was said, there is a need for a Pope of mercy, synodality, and hope.
There was discussion of Canon Law and the power of the Pope, of divisions and the role of cardinals in the Church, of the proximity of the Solemnity of Christ the King and the World Day of the Poor - which should be considered together - and of the need for meetings of the College of Cardinals during Consistories.
Other topics included Christian initiation and formation as missionary acts, the memory of the witness of martyrs of the faith in areas of conflict and where religious freedom is limited, and the urgent issue of climate change.
The topic of the date of Easter, the Council of Nicaea, and ecuмenical dialogue was also mentioned.
Bruni also explained that the Ring of the Fisherman has been made void, and that an appeal was read to the parties involved in various conflicts for a permanent ceasefire and negotiations, calling for a just and lasting peace.

And none of the "cardinals" stood up and started throwing rotten tomatoes at the person giving these speeches?
This is not good. I think we are going to have another Bergoglio if they are just going to sit there passively and listen to this garbage without at least walking out.

Catholic-Hierarchy.org's "Dates, Times, and Detail" page (https://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/conclave2025.html#dates) mentions "Meditation by Raniero Cardinal Cantalamessa (https://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bcantala.html), O.F.M. Cap., Preacher Emeritus of the Prefecture of the Papal Household (https://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dxpph.html)" will occur right after Extra omnes! is announced and right before the first round of voting! 🤦♂️
Cantalamessa is an über-Modernist, Pentecostalist (https://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/a017htPentecostal_Vennari.htm). He said in a homily that sects "are not merely tolerated by God … but positively willed by Him as an expression of the inexhaustible richness of His grace and His will for everyone to be saved", explained away the miraculous nature of Jesus's multiplication of loaves and fishes (http://www.christorchaos.com/SayWhatFatherCantalamessa.htm), and denied Our Lady's vow of virginity is biblical (https://isidore.co/calibre/#panel=book_details&book_id=6581).

So, he was just parroting back Bergoglio (and likely that was just a direct quote) ...

Even their smoke is fake now. :laugh1:
I guess that in 2005 they started using chemicals instead of the dry vs. wet straw. Interesingly the "black" smoke required the use of sulfur, but given the current state of the Conciliar Church, it would be more appropriate to add sulfer to the white smoke, since whoever they roll out will be a servant of the sulfered one.
Oh, and did you see that they had some bimbo up in front of the Cardinals breaking Bergoglio's ring. This was supposed to have been done right at his death, and the point of it is to prevent it from being misused to give papal authorization to stuff (though I doubt the ring is used for that anymore). But why was some bimbo up there front and center doing this and a Cardinal wasn't doing it? Perhaps a young man doing it would have been an occasion of sin to most of the assembled "Cardinals"?

Wake me up when they roll out the next Antipope.
I do find it weird, though, that the Anti-Sedeprivationist SVs are out there hedging their bets in case some Catholic candidate gets rolled out. If such a one does restore Tradition, they're now claiming that Universal Acceptance would make them Pope even though all the Cardinals are non-Cardinals (whereas sedeprivationists are at least consistent in holding that these do have the ability to elect).
-
Black or white, it's all Satan's smoke.
Given the inclinations of the present day cardinals, maybe they will introduce the pink smoke to announce they have elected their new leader.

Really? There are SVists who believe in universal acceptance? I thought anti- and pro-sedeprivationists SVists alike agreed that the pope-elect annulling Vatican II (not the "universal acceptance" novelty) would prove him a valid Catholic pope.

Sure ... they definitely believe in it but say it doesn't apply to the V2 papal claimants.

Here's an interesting one with 4 different camera angles, since the main one can be hard to seee ...

Michael Matt sounded disappointed, as if he had been expecting anything other than black smoke the first time around ... especially for him, who thinks this is a legitimate process. But even for those of us who think that the winner has already been pre-selected, they're not going to roll him out on the first vote since people would immediately suspect it had been rigged. They'll drag it out for 2-3 days at least, perhaps longer if they want to make it look like there was some long drawn-out battle.

Uhm, here we have John Henry Westen claiming that some "scuttlebutt" indicates that Parolin + Erdo split the first vote. Inquiring minds want to know where he got that information ... or whether he's just making stuff up.

He probably means speculation on the part of people outside the conclave. I highly doubt it's possible for any information to reach the outside world from in there. They even have EMF jammers to prevent anyone from communicating to the outside with any form of electronic device.

Well, such speculation would not have such specificity as a split vote between Parolin and Erdo ... and it's not what anyone was really expecting or speculating about. Erdo was not generally considered even a top 5 possibility.
As for jammers / EMF, the same people who run / control the conclave can do what they want. None of this has been on the up-and-up since the infiltrators took over.
-

Yes, supposedly the Sistine Chapel is in a Faraday cage (https://christianity.stackexchange.com/a/106208/1787) (somehow installed in the walls, ceiling, floor?), and there are jammers.
There are some incredibly sensitive uni-directional microphones. That's the only way it would seem one could tap into it. Maybe even that metal chimney emits faint sound waves.

You mean since 2013?
A German cardinal then accidentally(?) leaked the results before Habemus papam! occurred.

And the confiscate all the cardinals' electronic devices, make them go through metal detectors etc.

Oh, this goes back to 1958. There are stories out there about Roncalli telling people he had already been selected.
Of course in 2013 you had the St. Gallen mafia thing.
JH Westen points out that nearly every conclave from Montini on forward took about 2 days. That's just not possible, naturally speaking, especially for Montini, Luciani, Wojtyla, Ratzinger, etc. ... because back then (before Bergs appointed 108 of them himself) there was still a blend of conservative and liberal. No way they could resolve that tension in 2 days. They came up with the whole notion of Conclave to speed them along after one of them took 3 years and the Cardinals had no sense of urgency.
But, there are basically two high-level paradigms regarding the Church Crisis.
1) Gradually, over time, more and more individual bishops got contaminated with Modernism ... and that ultimately led to the natural outcome of their selecting a Modernist pope.
2) An Enemy Hath Done This ... enemies of the Church infiltrated, took over the power structures, and eventually one of them became Pope, and then appointed more of them, etc. ... taking control of the official apparatus.
We have a ton of evidence for #2, from their own words, designs, plans, to various individuals like Bela Dodd who admitted to having placed 1,200 young men in Catholic seminaries just by herself. What about all the others, especially behind the Iron Curtain, where they largely controlled any Church prelate who was not in jail or being tortured, where the Commie official is known to have personally insisted upon Wojtyla and said he would only approve Wojtyla and Wojtyla got to tour the world while many other Bishops were under house arrrest, in jail, or being tortured. He was widely regarded as having been a "Pax" priest, a Commie collaborator. If you weren't, you didn't last long, and then Montini would just depose you on orders from the Commies, as he did to Mindszenty.
So I subscribe to paradigm #2 as the primary driver of this attack on the Church, where it was spearheaded by deliberate, conscious infiltrators. Now that they've held the high ranking offices of the Church for 6 decades, they most certainly would not have appointed anyone who might be any kind of threat to them. Now, of course there were some who just went along because they were contaminated with Modernism ... and they just becames mindless yes-men to the Revolution, useful idiots ... so there was a bit of a blend, but the primary impetus has been driven by the enemy infiltrators.
Sure, every once in a while someone of good faith gets in, and they let them in as being harmless ... similar to how in the US they let SOME decent politicians get in, like, say, a Ron Paul or a Massie, etc. Not only do they realize that there's nothing those types can really do against you, but it's even good to have a few token "consrevative" types to make it look good and keep people guessing. "See, if we ran everything, how did Ron Paul get in?" Or, "See, if we ran everything, how did Sarah get in?" But they don't care, since they know they control and rig the conclaves, and the Sarahs and Burkes serve the purpose of legitimizing the Conciliars just a little bit ... as we see even know with Trad, Inc. hoping for Sarah and/or Burke to get elected and therefore kicking against the goad from realizing that the Conciliar Church is not the Catholic Church. If every single Cardinal and 99% of bishops were Bergoglios and Tuchos and Zuppis ... and the flaming (and flamer) Modernists, I'm guessing the Traditional Catholics would have convened an Imperfect Council and elected a Pope long ago. So they have to keep up appearances and make it kindof look good for the consumption of the convervative types, while they boil the frog and slowly poison them out of existence. It's not unlike how they must blend in a good amount of truth to get people to swallow the error. If it were 100% error, or, heck, even 70% error, no Catholics would be fooled into accepting it. They'll even permit 90% Catholic truth, just to get as many people as possible to swallow that poisoned 10%. That's what Wojtyla did, where he held the line on Catholic morals, engaged his acting skills to make people buy the old "santo subito" narrative, where he'd bow his head in deep contemplation (or sleep?), got himself photographed holding a Rosary within 50 yards of a statue of Our Lady, etc. ... and it fooled the vast majority. What they didn't realize is that Wojtyla was the biggest, most pernicious purveyor of religious indifferentism and dogmatic heresy to have held or usurped the See of Peter, and so they all bought that heresy. If you listen to the conservative EWTN types today, for 50 minutes of a 60-minute show you might think you were listening to Traditional Catholic Thomists ... until they start blubbering on about "separated brethren", "fellow Christians", deny EENS dogma, utter Pelagian heresy verbatim, etc. THAT is where Wojtyla poisoned them ... since how could the Great Santo have taught heresy? Wojtyla's abominations made Bergoglio's Pachamama incident look like childsplay. But then Bergs came along to gut the moral theology that Wojtyla had kept intact.
In any case, since Roncalli, the conclaves have been under their control ... as they installed Montini, Luciani (who may have woken up somehow and got himself murdered), Wojtyla, Ratzinger (whose mission was to reabsorb Trads ... failed, so told to step down), Bergs, and then whoever the next one will be. There's no surprise, no accident, no "election", but a SELection, just like with the past dozen or so US Presidents.
Unless and until God directly intervenes, along the lines of the vision of Anna Maria Taigi ... they'll remain in control of the Vatican apparatus.

The "black smoke result" of the "vote" is all a show. They do that to make it look like nothing is controlled and rigged. The vote is entirely rigged. They already have their closeted homo and judaizer chosen to be appointed. He actually may be a publicly ambiguous homo just to further push the Overton Window to Queerville for "Catholics" to accept and, thus, in the future, reverse the doctrine that fαɢɢօtry is one of the sins that cries to Heaven for vengeance.

Every time there's a papal election or the person masquerading as the pope speaks from that balcony the television camera will pan across a packed St Peter's Square. It will inevitably settle on a group of nuns or other ecstatic faithful and I wonder to myself, how do these people not see this heretic for what he is?
Are they reading a different catechism or Bible than me? Are they living in an alternative universe?
They take the time, trouble and expense to visit the Vatican, maybe catch a glimpse of the pope, yet don't seem to
grasp the basics of their own faith.
How do these people get goosebumps, feel so inspired by the word salad these clowns spew?
I understand the Trump phenomenon a lot better. He's a world class bullshit artist that knows what his base wants to hear. One can easily grasp the concepts that encompass the whole MAGA thing: closing the border, cutting waste, resisting wokeness, etc. It has a legit appeal.
What on earth did Bergoglio offer to justify such adoration? Those homos, trannies, and people living in sin that he received, they would have continued on with their lifestyle with or without his sympathy, condemnation or correction. Such people don't struggle with pangs of conscience. They don't even believe in sin.

Dice it up any way you want, fake pope, fake conclave, whatever. I am going with Pizzaballa on the feast of Our Lady of Pompeii. It is the 1,500th anniversary of the Apparition of St. Michael. Let's get this thing kicked off. Even the corrupt cardinals must realize that they need a fresh face in there. The Church right now has that old, corrupt, Novus Ordo feel to it, and they need youth in there. Pizzaballa has the look. He was born in '65, the year the Council Vatican II closed, but I think he gets the nod. It will be interesting to see what name he takes if he gets in. Even though he has Novus Ordo orders, God can turn things around.
And besides, the situation is getting quite precarious with India and Pakistan. This election might kick off global chaos. God's will be done.

Have you never been to a concert? I mean one of those really big ones, with a lot of lights and visuals. You simply get involved in that atmosphere. People are not there for the faith, they are there for the show, for the "high". The conclave is a big event, and people don't go to big events to pray. They go to feel the rush, the adrenaline, so they can tell other people that they were there when Pope Hereticus V was elected and greeted them from the balcony.

I think they love the liberalism, the idea that they can say everyone is good, and they themselves are automatically going to heaven, along with everyone else.
The Novus Ordo fake religion gives everyone what they want in this world. That is why it's so popular!

I don't believe they have even given it that much thought. There is a certain kind of person that loves crowds, loves to disappear into the mass of humanity. I could never understand it. I dated a girl like that once. If there was a street festival she felt compelled to go to it. It didn't matter if it was a hassle to find parking, if the vendors overcharged for mediocre food, if you were jostled by rude, loud drunk people, if it was boiling hot and humid. No matter what indignities one might have to brave she derived some satisfaction from the experience. Simply put it's the herd mentality and I think they are hardwired that way. Cows find security in grazing with other cows.

Despite the ongoing commentary/reports that the black smoke must mean that there is fighting/division between the "conservative" and the "liberal" factions (and therefore a "good sign"), I actually think it's division between liberal groups. IOW, I don't mean that the conservative (like a Sarah) is truly another liberal, I mean that it is much more likely that there is division over two very obvious liberals.

I agree Pizzaballa and I'm predicting the papal name Pius XIII.
