Title: Pope has double pneumonia
Post by: Miseremini on February 18, 2025, 04:12:16 PM
I guess we should pray for his conversion and repentance before he dies.

Yes, he needs to convert. No Catholic should relish the thought of any unrepentant sinner about to enter Hell -- I know Christ doesn't.

But no man lives forever. So that leaves conversion as the only option for him.

But I sure wouldn't want "destruction of the Church with my own hands, as much as laid within my power" on my soul at my Particular Judgment.

The Dimond Bros won their fame largely through apocalyptic videos where they predicted that Francis would be the last Pope.

I wonder what their new theory will be if he ends up passing on now.

In any case, I pray for his redemption.

You will know if the time has come when media coverage ramps up and becomes almost infinite because of speculation.

This is what happened when they announced Queen Elizabeth had died. Almost 8 hours of speculation until they cut to a BBC anchor and looped the death announcement. It will be the only media story for about 2 weeks, and like the events involving the English Royal Family and when JPII went, you will probably see most heads of state there at the state funeral.

My guess is that like the Queen, sports events, elections, Jimmy Carter, etc., they have a news package prepared just in case of his death.

I'm sure we're all thinking some or other along those lines. I still think Paul VI has Bergoglio beat as far as the deepest place in hell, but I guess I'll find out at the last day. :trollface:

Well, of course, that is just standard journalistic procedure in major news outlets.  That is how retrospectives and the like are aired so quickly upon someone's death.

I wouldn't wish the judgment this poor man likely faces on my worst enemy, and so I ardently pray for his conversion or even recovery, provided that he remains sufficiently incapacitated as to no longer be able to usurp the See of Peter, i.e. must resign ... and continue on long enough to convert and save his soul.  Of course, his departure from the (material possession of) the office, naturally speaking and without divine intervention, would hardly benefit the Church at all, since he's hand-picked the vast majority of the voting Cardinals, so that an improvement would be highly unlikely.  In fact, however, Bergoglio actually has done a great service to Tradition, having woken many half-asleep individuals up to the problem with Modernism and even starting to look at Vatican II (cf. +Vigano and those who follow him).  Probably the WORST thing that could happen would be to get another pseudo-Trad type like Ratzinger who could fool the Motarians into believing that we had been blessed with "St. Pius X the New" (to quote Moran's infamous expression).

Yeah, and the usual suspects are probably hyping the story for extra clicks.  That's all the media and even alt-Trad media do anymore, try to get traffic to their site and make $$$.  Could be just a nothingburger.

BTW, I had always heard that Bergoglio only had one lung, so how could he get "bilateral" pneumonia?

Post by: Ladislaus on February 18, 2025, 10:57:44 PM
I wonder if ... and it would be quite ironic and even poetic ... if Bergoglio were suffering from jab-induced ADE.  How many may have died or had their lives shortened by following his advice and (in some cases) commands to receive the mRNA jab?  Earlier on they were using some kind of polymicrobial infection language (can't recall the exact term), suggesting that there had been multiple infectious agents at work in his lungs ... which does sound terribly lke ADE, a collapse of the immune system in fighting off infections.

Maybe he will finally kick the proverbial bucket this time. He has done so much damage to the faith of devout Catholics for over a decade and is such a manifest heretic that he can't die soon enough. And for those who think that is too harsh and un-Catholic, please look in the Catholic Encyclopedia under the term "Hate/Hatred" where it says that it is perfectly fine to pray for the death of a heresiarch and Bergoglio is a genuine heresiarch through and through. The sooner he dies and goes to hell where he belongs, the sooner the Church will be free from The Bergoglian Captivity.

Not necessarily right away.  They were covering stuff up about Wojtyla for some time, where they now think he died a couple days before it was announced (Commie style) and also that he hadn't died a particularly serene death

100% it's un-Catholic and is referred to as bitter zeal.  God wills the salvation of all but you're over here relishing the thought that he "dies and goes to hell where he belongs".  Apart from the fact that thankfully it's not up to people like you to decide "where he belongs", there's always hope for his conversion until the moment he dies ..  i.e. "where he belongs" has not been determined yet with finality except in the foreknowledge of God ... to which you are not privy.

Like Bergoglio, you need to repent of this wickedness yourself or your own judgment will be harsh, likely harsher than his, since Our Lord will judge you with the same measure that you use to judge others.  At least Bergoglio professes "Who am I to judge?"  In a sense we ALL "belong" in hell, so if you go by that criterion there's no hope for you either.

Even you instinctively know it's un-Catholic because you start defending it immediately.  If it were Catholic, it would need no defense.

Alas this bitterness is how the devil has laid low many Trads, especially sedevacantists, so please do some reflection here for your own sake.  What if Bergoglio were your father or brother or son?

As for the Church being "freed from the Bergoglian captivity," are you dense enough to 1) think that this Crisis is about just Bergoglio and 2) that the Church would be free of his captivity ... when he appointed the vast majority of the voting Cardinals, and 3) that God won't allow this Crisis to continue and even to worsen under the next guy.  At least Bergoglio was so open that he woke many people up, so he unwittingly performed a great service to Tradition.  We could get a deceiver like Ratzinger back in there to put the Motarians back to sleep believing that we had a new St. Pius X.

Pope has double pneumonia; condition remains ‘complex’ – Vatican News. (https://twitter.com/VaticanNews/status/1891932958560227457) It dawns on me there will be big news at some point revealing things the conspiracy would rather see kept secret. To that end, the death of a Pope could be used by the conspiracy’s assets in media to drown out the big reveal, whatever it might be. Like Bush senior.

Oh, they're always hyping stuff in this world of revenue from clickbait.  We get these one-inch snow accuмulations in Northeast Ohio (where it's just normal to get lots of snow from Lake Erie, the Lake Effect stuff), and the weather people are crying snow-pocalypse all day leading into their news cycle.  It's a joke how much they hype everything.

I still recall those clips where they caught weather men faking weather conditions, where one guy was standing waste deep in water, and then the camera panned out and two other guys walk past him and he's clearly standing in some drainage ditch on purpose.  Then there was one where the guy is acting he's getting blown halfway to horizontal by gale-force winds, holding onto his gear to make sure it doesn't fly away, and then in the background you see this guy casually walk out a door, light up a cigarette (with no issues), and just stand there smoking leisurely.  There were a bunch of faked "war" scenes also along those lines.

It's nothing but $, $, $ ... the Jєωιѕн god.

50/50 shot that there's nothing all that seriously wrong with him.  Father Carley went to the hospital for a few days with pneumonia, and he's back at it now at over 90 years old offering daily Mass, Confession, and even still driving every Sunday to West Virginia (2.5 hours each way) ON HIS OWN (refuses any help).

Honestly, I kind of have mixed feelings at the thought of him dying. My greatest fear (which I have held for several years now) is that when he dies he will be replaced with someone that people think is conservative, like Ratzinger. I think Ratzinger did a lot more damage to the (real) Catholic Church than Bergoglio did, because a lot of trads went back to the new church when they thought Ratzinger was conservative.

The best outcome would be to get a real pope when Bergoglio dies, obviously, but the second best would be another Bergoglio to continue shoving people who believe in the Catholic Faith out of the fake Vatican 2 church. A "conservative" would be a worst-case scenario as far as I am concerned.

Yes, that's my fear also.  If they put a Ratzinger-like figure in office, oh, let's even say a Sarah ... wow, the Motarians would rejoice as if he were the reincarnation of St. Pius X and consider the Church restored, whereas it would just represent a shift of the Overton window.

Given all the progressives that Bergoglio appointed, I would think a Sarah election unlikely and if he does get elected, IMO, then it will have been done ON PURPOSE, deliberately engineered, since it simply cannot happen naturally given the "Cardinals" Bergoglio has appointed.  And the intent there would then be to trick the Traddie-leaning types back into the Conciliar Entity.

Pain, whether physical or spiritual, has always been an effective incentive for me.

In that sense I certainly hope that Jorge is in the very worst agony of his life. Perhaps a taste of Hell will motivate him to do the right things before his last breath.

Imagine the worldwide impact and the impact on the subsequent conclave if Bergoglio recants and publicly repents on his death bed.

Quote
I, Jorge Bergoglio, am an Anti-Pope. I have opposed God, abetted Lucifer, and destroyed the souls of many Catholics with heresy and perversion. The entire post-Vatican 2 cult is a satanic impostor of Catholicism, a sect of the ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan. I beg forgiveness from God and from every person who suffered from my influence. I beg that nobody follow my errors. I beg you to select a true Catholic as a true Pope, a true Vicar of Christ. I commend my soul to my Just Judge. May Jesus Christ have mercy on me.

That is why one of those upvotes was mine.

Ah, so I finally run into the "nororious bully/know-it-all of this forum"! Yes, the Lord will judge me the same way I judge others and I judge Bergoglio with righteous judgment. He is not just some heretical layman, priest or bishop who is merely responsible for guiding their small flocks. No no no, Bergoglio is responsible for leading over a billion Catholic souls as what most Catholics believe to be "the vicar of christ on earth" and so he is not to be held to the same judgmental standards as any other layman or prelate. That is righteous judgment. To compare him to my brother or to my son is irrelevant. My brother and my son are not believed to be the "vicar of christ on earth." And if he repents before death, then good for him. May he then be purged with the worst pains of purgatory for trillions of years and even then that would be too merciful. Oh, but of course you know more than most Catholics and so that entitles you to call people "dense" and challenge someone's "righteous judgment."

Yes, which is why I'm really worried about this. These guys are not stupid.

It's also worth pointing out, for anyone who isn't aware of this, that roughly about 80% of the "cardinals" who have the right to vote (since they don't all have the right to vote anymore) were appointed by Bergoglio. I'm not sure where that fits in here, if it does, but I thought I'd mention it.

Yeah, they're not going to be voting for Bishop Sanborn or even Archbishop Vigano anytime soon, that's for sure.  That's why I brought up that if they DO elect some conservative type like Sarah or Burke, it would only be as a "conservative" Trojan horse meant to lull the "Trad Inc." and neo-SSPX back to their Ratzingerian sleep.

Terms like "kick the bucket" and your obvious relishing of his going "to hell where he belongs" is where you cross the line precisely into being not Catholic in this attitude.  Not to mention that you're a complete idiot if you think this would rid the Church of "The Bergoglian Captivity".  Nasty stuff here that you should be ashamed of, but you're going to double down.

You know that you began the insults by calling someone "dense" and the insults continue to flow with "moron" and "hypocrite". I correctly assumed that others would erroneously consider my position to be "not Catholic" due to the fact that the modernist Catholic Church has greatly softened its position on just judgment and that is why I cited the Catholic Encyclopedia article on it being absolutely acceptible to hate and pray for the death of a heresiarch, especially the most influential heresiarch unfortuntely still alive: Bergoglio.

And they will continue to flow. You have more of a chance of squaring a train's iron wheel than breaking through the shell of Lad's insult nut.

I guess the snowflake wilted under the bullying assault of my use of the mild term "dense", and the "dense" part was a reference to the naivety that any thinking Catholic can recognize that somehow the Church will be freed from Bergoglio after his death ... as if he had not appointed about 80% of the current voting "Cardinals".

But carry on playing victim.  You resorted to the insults because you didn't like my having told you to look in the mirror and to call out your deplorable hateful and decidedly non-Catholic attitude that you yourself suspected was exactly that out of the gate, but refuse to accept.

Then you have the wimp DecemRationis jumping on the bandwagon because he's been exposed for heresy himself and wilted there like a snowflake.  Instead of agreeing that your behavior if not Catholic, he implies the contrary by going after me out of personal grude and vitriol.

I'm going to call you out for what you are, and you need to look in the mirror.  Hopefully this "bullying" will lead to some introspection on your part and you'll thank me for it someday ... but if you don't then you're not headed in a very good direction.

All you can do, when all else fails, is name call. Whatever virtues you have - and you do have a few - are swallowed up by your inability to control yourself. But, hey, I guess when you have nothing else and you can't face the music . . . name call.

One of my lesser purposes in life was hounding you for your arrogance and pompous strutting around here. Note I said, "lesser."

You might actually cause me to carve out some more CI time again.

As to the heretic charge, you're full of crap. Point out the heresy for me, as I'd love to be corrected, even by you if necessary.

In addition to praying for his conversion, I also pray for the restoration of the Church, that the evil he has done will be undone, that the enemies within the ape of the Church will be rife with confusion and that we will not be punished with another anti-Pope.

Right ... and the two could both happen, where he could convert AND then the Church restored.  Not only would his death and "eternal damnation" not required for the Church to be restored, but it's unlikely that his death would even lead to any improvement in the attack against the Church, but might even lead to a worsening thereof.

I agree wholeheartedly. However, I was told/warned about his behavior by several former members. It doesn't surprise me to run into fellow Catholic Christians who possess holier-than-thou attitudes replete with an arsenal of insults to use toward those who merely disagree with them. It's kind of funny to realize this Laszlo fellow also believes in such things as a flat earth and that Cardinal Siri was a real pope. The fact that he knows (like all name-calling keyboard warriors) that his insults and name-calling only work on the internet and not in real life when confronting someone truly shows his immaturity and cowardice. I will not let him drive me away from this forum and I will never be so low as to insult him the way he insults others.

If I am not mistaken, the story was that he lost part of one lung, not all of it, due to an infection when he was younger.

If he departs soon, may God have mercy on his soul. It's very sad to see an elderly person who is still so sinful as he publicly is. People rarely change after they reach old age.

Yeah, they're not going to be voting for Bishop Sanborn or even Archbishop Vigano anytime soon, that's for sure.  That's why I brought up that if they DO elect some conservative type like Sarah or Burke, it would only be as a "conservative" Trojan horse meant to lull the "Trad Inc." and neo-SSPX back to their Ratzingerian sleep.
If this does happen it would be interesting as it would coincide with the possible upcoming SSPX episcopal consecrations. I could see permission being granted by a "conservative" pope and that being used as justification for a "reconciliation"

Imagine if your mother, father, brother or sister was a heretic or schismatic or apostate, and they always attacked the Church turning people away from Christ. Are you going to wish they die and burn in hell? Or will you pray they are repentant and converted? 'Pope' Francis is 'supposed' to be our father, regardless if he is actually the Pope or not actually the Pope how can you desire his condemnation?

If he does go to hell it is the just judgment and punishment of God, but right now he is alive and still has time to repent.

Praying for the death for a heretic should be understood in charity, it's not that you would rather them not repent and be converted but unrepentant it's more safe for everyone else if they die to stop spreading their errors.

Also the early Christians prayed for their persecutors, it was this love that converted many of them.

That's my fear also.  The devil decieves good people (the elect) by what appears good.
Please do not construe my comments below as personal, but merely to re-frame "fear."


Quote
For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect

Surgent enim pseudochristi, et pseudoprophetae : et dabunt signa magna, et prodigia, ita ut in errorem inducantur ( si fieri potest) etiam electi.  [Matthew 24:24]


The "if possibe/si fieri potest" reads to me as virtually a given. Since I long ago read that chapter I expect (and, like you all, have already seen) that many of the "elect" will be deceived. Because of that I encourage people to de-emphasize the natural fear component and instead to emphasize becoming fortified in expectation of this eventuality.

We all belong in Hell, barring perhaps the one or two saints who never committed mortal sin or those who died before reaching the age of reason to commit one, and even they were only preserved from sin by the unmerited grace of God.  That has nothing to with 1) whether we should wish that on anyone and 2) making that judgment of a soul that belogns only to God ... He alone knows the internal forum.  Not even the Church judges regarding the internal forum, de internis Ecclesia non judicat.

There is no consideration of ONLY the external forum in terms of going to Hell.  Considering ONLY the external forum, we all belong there, and UNTIL WE DIE no final determination has been made, at least as far as WE know and as far as WE are concerned.  Only God knows where that soul will end up, and it's not our place to decide ahead of time where that is.

Really, the more Trads act and talk like this, the more it becomes evident why Traditional Catholicism is not converting anyone.

Post by: Matthew on February 19, 2025, 09:04:50 PM
I was taught in the Seminary that if you fail to study both LIVES OF THE SAINTS and DOCTRINE, you will end up lopsided and in error.

No doctrine? You will be looking for exceptions, miracles, visions everywhere, and end up who knows where. You will have no grounding in doctrine, which teaches us the Ordinary path.
No Lives of the Saints? You will be a legalist Pharisee, considering only the dry aspects and duties of Catholicism and forget that God does sometimes make exceptions, miracles, etc. There is a Supernatural and a place for the Extraordinary.

Both are required for a balanced Catholic life.

For example, recall the saint who saw a condemned man, a criminal, heading for his execution. The man was not well disposed either; he might have been cursing or otherwise obviously "indisposed" for a holy death on the way to his execution. But this saint fervently prayed to God for his soul, and even took on his temporal punishment as penance, and God answered her prayer. The man was miraculously converted on the gallows. THAT is Charity, the love of God, true Catholicism.

The criminal in question was 100% guilty, external forum wise, he definitely "belonged in Hell" as you put it. But did the saint (St. Therese?) relish in that thought of God's justice? NO. Like Christ, she "willed not the death of the sinner, but that he be converted and live." And talk about putting one's money where their mouth is! She suffered greatly for this one soul. Like Christ would do.

And here's a sobering thought for all of us, with Lent 2 weeks from today: if you aren't ready to do the same, right now, then you aren't ready to enter heaven. Best case, if you died you would have to go to purgatory for purification. Even if you have zero sins on your soul or habitual sins, just the fact you are not in the Unitive Way means your soul is NOT ready to see God. There are undue attachments to this world, to your own will, to comfort, possessions, security, lawful pleasures, etc. which hinder your soul's ascent to Heaven.

Talking to myself as well as everyone else on the forum, of course. Just wanted to mention this as a sort of PSA, so we could all benefit more this Lent.

I would argue that we all belong in Heaven. It is our own [Original and] unrepented willful sins that put us in Hell.

That said, What happens to a soul that dies in a state of mortal sin? It goes to Hell.  Right?

Perhaps it is the semantics attached to the word "belong." You say we all belong in hell (because of our actual sinful natures). I say we all belong in Heaven (because of what God wants for us). We are both correct. It depends entirely on what sense of "belong" that we each mean.

It is among the most basic and indisputable tenets of Catholicism, grammar school catechism, that unrepentant mortal sinners belong in go to hell.

Is an Anti-Pope my father in any legitimate sense? I think not. Jorge is an abusive imposter. How then can I legitimately be called to any special filial piety?

Certainly I owe Jorge the pious concern that is due every person. I confess that I am not a good enough person, too bitter, to give him any more than that bare minimum. For the sake of suffering souls in Purgatory I can barely manage to pray after the Rosary the "necessary papal intentions" for their indulgence. Certainly I need to do better in that and better also in my many other deficiencies.

What is the line in The Count of Monte Cristo? "I am not a saint. I am only a [man]." <<< In no way does that imply that I am content to remain at this level, but am only recognizing the true state of myself as best I see myself.

I have no disordered desire to see Jorge Bergoglio burn in Hell for eternity. However, I do want to see him stop destroying the Church. That's fair. 

I also pray for an end to the Crisis in the Church which has gone on for about 11 years longer than I've been alive -- and I'm not that young. 

I know Gen Z likes to blame Boomers for everything, and some talk about how they can't wait till all the Boomers are dead. But you know what? When that does come to pass, then NO ONE ALIVE will remember a time when the Church hasn't been in Crisis. It's the Babylonian Captivity all over again. Kyrie Eleison.

Another analogy I wanted to throw out there --

A man isn't permitted to "enjoy" or "consent" to any pleasure that results from nocturnal emission. However, it's interesting that one is morally permitted to be happy about the aftermath, namely the temporary drop-off in concupiscence that occurs afterward. One is explicitly allowed to be happy about that part. I remember that, because it was somewhat unexpected as I read it.

I see strong parallels here. You aren't allowed to relish or root for a man's condemnation or unhappy death -- but since it HAPPENED (outside your control of course) you can go ahead and be happy about the benefits to the Church that will follow due to his absence.

Maybe he will finally kick the proverbial bucket this time. He has done so much damage to the faith of devout Catholics for over a decade and is such a manifest heretic that he can't die soon enough. And for those who think that is too harsh and un-Catholic, please look in the Catholic Encyclopedia under the term "Hate/Hatred" where it says that it is perfectly fine to pray for the death of a heresiarch and Bergoglio is a genuine heresiarch through and through. The sooner he dies and goes to hell where he belongs, the sooner the Church will be free from The Bergoglian Captivity.
The notion of wishing anyone to hell for all eternity is the most uncharitable and uncatholic thing any Catholic could possibly wish for.  

"...Consider my son, that if you go to hell, you will never leave it. There, every pain is suffered and suffered forever.
Even when a hundred years have gone by since you went to hell, or a thousand, hell will be just beginning. After a hundred thousand, a hundred million years, after millions of centuries, hell will still be just beginning.

If an angel were to bring news to the damned that God had decided to free them from hell when as many million centuries had passed as there are drops of water in the ocean, leaves on the trees and grains of sand on the earth - if the damned were to hear that, they would be immensely consoled. "True", they would say, "many centuries must yet pass, but some day the time of our freedom will come."

In reality, however, such vast stretches of time and more than we can possibly imagine, shall pass and find hell still only beginning.

Every soul damned in hell would be willing to make this agreement with God: "Lord, increase my suffering as much as You will; make me stay here in this place of torment as long as You will, but give me hope that someday You will free me."
But no, this hope, this end to suffering, shall never be..." - So High The Price

No.  You can be just without being hateful.  It's why the court will impose the death penalty but then invoke God's mercy on the convicted criminal's soul,  providing access to a priest, etc.  Only a weak-minded individual can't distinguish between the two, between being just with tough penalties and relishing the damnation of a soul... as if your bloviation of hatred here does anything to improve the state of the Church.  It just makes the world think that Trad Catholics are wicked haters.  I've been as firm as anyone in condemning the heresies of this Antipope, but I desire his conversion and salvation.  If you can't separate the two then you are both psychologically and spiritually damaged.

Weak non-judgmental and non-punishmental attitudes like this is the reason the Church and the rest of the world is in the current state it is in.
Please explain how it is consonant with Catholic teaching positively to wish, and to take delectation in the thought, that someone will burn in hell for all eternity.

We can legitimately recognize that just punishment falls upon those who die in mortal sin, but that is a far cry from hoping that it happens.  I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

Humanly speaking we are doomed.  I stand to be corrected, but all of the cardinals are right along with the New Mass; and they all probably believe that the Catholic Church is not necessary for salvation.  Hoorah for the Anonymous Christian of Ratzinger et alia.   If a conclave coincides with a war, then things get interesting.

Yes, he needs to convert. No Catholic should relish the thought of any unrepentant sinner about to enter Hell -- I know Christ doesn't.

But no man lives forever. So that leaves conversion as the only option for him.

But I sure wouldn't want "destruction of the Church with my own hands, as much as laid within my power" on my soul at my Particular Judgment.
He doesn't believe he's destroying the church, which he can't, he believes he's right and that's it, and we're viscious mean old trads. He will deal with that in the immediate judgment. Like all of us.

Ezekiel 18:23 --

23 Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways, and live?

Isaiah 55:7-8 --

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unjust man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God: for he is bountiful to forgive.  8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

St. Mary of Egypt to St. Zosimus, quoting Ezekiel 18:23 --

But I think God was seeking my repentance. For He does not desire the death of a sinner but magnanimously awaits his return to Him.

Sadly, nearly all the Trad clergy believe that non-Catholics can be saved, and therefore unwittingly hold the same errors that are taught by Vatican II.  NO ONE has ever refuted this syllogism, or even attempted to do so.  Why?  Because there is no refutation.

MAJOR:  There is no salvation outside the Church.  DOGMA
MINOR:  Heretics, schismatics, Jews, Muslims, infidels, and pagans can be saved.  [Held by nearly all Trad clergy and the majority of Trad faithful]
CONCLUSION:  Heretics, schismatics, Jews, Muslims, infidels, and pagans can be within the Church.

That CONCLUSION above is in fact the ecclesiology of Vatican II, a Church which includes not only actual Catholics but also all manner of heretic, schismatic, and infidel ... which ecclesiology most Trads answer is the chief heresy in Vatican II.  If I came to believe the MINOR, I would have to drop all objections to the Vatican II ecclesiology expressed in the CONCLUSION.  Even Religious Liberty follows from the New Soteriology.  If we please God and save our souls by following our (even erroneous) consciences, then, since we have a right to please God and to save our souls, we have a right to follow our (even erroneous) consciences.  Once you subjectivize soteriology, the V2 ecclesiology is simply the logical conclusion.  Perhaps the one error that cannot be traced back to this is collegiality, but there is a certain sense in which collegiality is true (it's just a different emphasis and highly amenable to the hermeneutic of continuity), and if that's all you had, it would be extremely weak.  Now, the NOM would be a separate matter, but Vatican II itself would be "off the hook".  Oh, ironically, the only citation V2 has in support of its ecclesiology (proving that the ecclesiology derives from the new soteriology) is to "Suprema Fake".

True.  Could also be just people making things up for clickbait.  Sadly, 50-50 at this point.  Now, the other official story does seem "off".  On the one hand they say he's in "critical" condition but then this morning claim he "had a peaceful night" ... unless they mean something altogether different by "critical" than we do in the US, where that term means that you could go at any moment.

What's great though, is you can't fool God or reality. You could have the most powerful propaganda machine under your thumb, 100% control of all media -- and yet when you die, you appear before God AT THAT MOMENT, not when you have your lackeys announce the news.

Think of all the powerful people in the world, who own/control banking, media, and the academic world. But there are some things even they can't control.

Kind of like a man who is always late -- well, he will be on time for one thing: his own death.

I've read a couple doctors' commentaries on what's going on, and I'm convinced that Bergoglio is on the way out.

Latest is that his kidneys are starting to fail, which is consistent with his having gone septic (together with the need for a tranfusion).  Older people do not recover easily from sepsis and kindey failure.  So, the one thing I noticed is that in pictures of him from just before he was taken to hospital, he looked very swollen, not just fat, but naturally swollen due to water retention, and that also speaks to kidney failure.  That swelling might also speak to congestive heart failure (which eventually took the life of my father).

I don't think it's run of the mill "bronchitis" like they started with, since when he was speaking a little right at the end, he didn't SOUND like typical bronchitis would have him sound, where you'd expect enough irritation to elicit a cough, and there was no cough.

Given everything happening, along with some reports of clotting as well, I wouldn't be surprised if he's being victimized by the jab.  Perhaps the jab was causing the clotting, as well as kidney problems and fluid retention, and ADE could be leading to his "polymicrobial" infection, which, from what I understand, comes from your immune system shutting down.

Clotting can cause heart damage and lead to congestive heart failure (which leads to fluid retention, swelling ... like we've seen on Bergoglio for some time), and then the polymicrobial infection sounds like ADE, immune system shutdown.  Putting it all together, he may be dying from the jab that he pushed.

What I DO know with 100% certainty is that God is not mocked.

palliative care = keeping the person comfortable (usually with large doses of Morphine) until they finish the process of dying.
Sometimes palliative care includes "helping them cross over" with various drugs. It's a bit of a grey area. Basically a "lite" or "soft" form of euthanasia, usually without anyone's consent.

Wow, now there is the most interesting theory. Remember he practically made it a sin NOT to get the jab. How ironic if he were to get the same result that millions got thanks to his advice. That said, it is our duty to pray for him no matter what he has said and done.

If it's indeed true that Pope Francis pushed the evil jab, that is not a good sign.

Indeed, this has nothing to do with judging one's culpability in the internal forum.  Even the Church doesn't do that ... de internis Ecclesia non judicat.

God, however, will often send a message along the lines of "If you live by the sword, you shall die by the sword."

I just wonder how many people have died either directly or indirectly as a result of Bergoglio having ...

1) pushed the jab, claiming it's an act of love, and at other times suggesting it's a sin against charity NOT to get the jab
2) required Vatican employees to get the jab (how many of those died or suffered serious health effects?)
3) made it nearly impossible for those professing to be Catholic to get a religious exemption -- "You're a Catholic seeking a religious exemption?  Your Pope not only said that it's OK but that you have a moral obligation to get it."

But his symptoms do sound like they could be jab-related ... prolonged clotting leading to congestive heart failure, fluid retention, shutting down of kidneys, combined with "polymicrobial" infection, suggesting an AIDS-like shutting down of the immune system, or ADE ... and blood clotting could also lead to sepsis and the need for a transfusion.  I wonder if the next steps won't be that he's put on a ventilator ... which, combined with remdesivir, led to the deaths of so many jab victims.

Yeah, in the US "paliative care" basically means they're making you as comfortable as possible while you die.

When I saw the news about the kidneys being impact, that's when I realized that he's not coming back from this.  Organ shutdown happens as the end result of congestive heart failure.  I know that my father eventually succuмbed to it, and the massive bloating (clearly from water retention) even before he was hospitalized most certainly reminded me of what happened to my father ... and then organ failure followed, starting with the kidneys.

I also found it interesting that his condition was declared critical on February 22nd, Traditional Feast of the Chair of St. Peter.

This is what he looked like shortly before the hospitalization.  He's not just "fat" here.  He's clearly bloating from water retention, which is a sign already that the kidneys are in trouble, which is one of the first things that goes after congestive heart failure (which in turn could have been caused by clotting from the jab) ...

(https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/7ee48b231f8572d9d2199876c28b625958a9ba8d/0_18_2880_1728/master/2880.jpg?width=465&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none)

I just never bought the "bronchitis" story ... for one second.  His last speech he gave before admission into the hospital, he did read a few sentences then handed it off to someone else to read.  His voice did NOT sound as if he were struggling with bronchitis.  I KNOW bronchitis, as I'm very much prone to it (with some asthmatic tendencies) and my entire family just had a bout with it.  He did NOT have bronchitis, certainly not the ordinary kind.

Yes, as I wrote above, not only did he say that it was a sin against charity to NOT get the jab, but he also mandated the jab for all Vatican employees, and, more broadly, made it next to impossible for anyone professing the Catholic faith to get any kind of religious exemption for the jab.  Unfortunately, the SSPX also contributed there.

So, had I gotten to the point where my employer had mandated it, I would going to refuse by way of religious exemption and then classify myself as a TRADTIONAL CATHOLIC, thereby separating myself from Jorge, declaring that he's a usurper Antipope that I believe is teaching the contrary of Catholicism.  I never had the chance to attempt that angle ... would have loved taking that one to court and proving it in a court of law.  But, if you recall, the SSPX, a chief representative of "Traditional" Catholicism were also out there saying it was permissible to get the jab and the likes of Modernist Heretic Fr. Paul Robinson refusing to sign papers attesting to a religious exemption.  So at that point I would have also separated myself from SSPX, saying I was a Sedevacantist Traditional Catholic that not only rejected Bergoglio as pope but also felt that the SSPX were neo-Modernist compromisers.  Of course, they'd see that I do assist at Mass on occasion at SSPX chapels and might ding me for that.

Hypothetical question, if God struck a king (e.g., King Herod) with a grievous disease on date X, but he died on date X + 1 or X + 2, wouldn't date X be significant, as the day God's judgment struck him?
When the two (being struck, and death) are SO closely related, with a basic Cause -> Effect relationship, by a matter of just a couple of days?

Note that it doesn't say Herod died the same day. It doesn't say how long it took the worms consumption to cost him his life. Hours? Days? A couple weeks?

Acts chapter 12:
21 And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.  22 And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man  23 And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost.

They've probably already hired a chimney sweep on the down-low for that special "white smoke/black smoke" chimney.

Bummer is that Trads can't even fantasize about Bp. Williamson getting miraculously elected this time around. I guess we'll have to pick a different "from your lips to God's ears" fantasy best-case scenario for a Trad Pope getting elected.

Here's a summary of the events from February 22 ...
Quote
Pope Francis was in critical condition on Saturday night after having a long “asthmatic respiratory crisis” earlier in the day that required “high flows of oxygen” as well as a blood transfusion, the Vatican said, adding to concerns about the health of the 88-year-old pontiff.

So on Saturday, February 22, earlier in the day he suffered a "long asthmatic respiratory crisis" (asthmatic = fancy word for he couldn't breathe), and somehow this inability to breathe also required a blood transfusion (is that common, where a simple inability to breath requires a blood transfusion), after which his condition was declared "critical" on Saturday night (February 22nd).  As you said, Matthew, even if he dies a few days after that, the significance of this is very difficult to overlook ... though I would also not be surprised if he did actually die on Saturday night (February 22) when they declared him to be "critical".  If you recall, before Saturday, the reports were all that it was just a mild condition, that he was alert, conscious, eating breakfast, sleeping peacefully, and just doing tests and having some therapies done to help with his bronchitis/pneumonia, when, wham!, seemingly out of nowhere he goes critical.  I bet if we go back the days before 2/22 we'd find the stories of them saying "nothing to see here, move along".

I actually didn't even know 2/22 was the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter except that God gave me the grace of being able to assist at daily Mass on Saturday at Father Carley's chapel and I heard him starting to read the propers of the Mass (Father says the entire Mass in a loud voice, perhaps due to his own hearing difficulties, and so I do not need a Missal), and realized what feast it was.  Then I got home and saw the news about Bergoglio's critical condition.  That's why I put 2 + 2 together (and, as Bishop Williamson liked to say, they don't equal 5).

More interesting tidbits.  In addition to "the Chair" being a reference to the actual Magisterium or Teaching Authority (Our Lord referred to the Chair of Moses as the seat of his teaching authority), I didn't realize that Bergoglio actually put the actual relic of said Chair on display late last year for the first time since Pius IX did in 1867, and then before that was 1666.

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/262351/why-the-church-has-celebrated-the-feast-of-the-chair-of-st-peter-feast-for-1600-years
Quote
Prior to that, the chair was last publicly exhibited in 1867, when Pope Pius IX allowed it to be seen for 12 days to mark the 1,800th anniversary of the martyrdom of Peter and Paul. Before that, the chair had not been seen since 1666 when it was first encased inside Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s monumental bronze sculpture under the stained-glass Dove of the Holy Spirit window at the basilica’s apse.

Here we have Bergoglio "venerating" (threatening to overturn?) the relic of the Chair of St. Peter during the closing "Mass" for the Synod on Synodality ... October 27, 2024.
(https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/storage/image/popefrancischairofpeter2102724.jpg?w=600)

Then, on the very next Feast of said Chair, he goes critical.

So, in 1666 the chair was encased in some bronze sculpture beneath the stained-glass window of the Holy Ghost appearing as the Dove.  Bergoglio somehow pulled it out of there.  Was that his attempt to detach the Chair of Peter from the (protection of) the Holy Ghost?

I keep thinking of this prophecy, from Blessed Tomasuccio of Foligno:
Quote
By about twelve years shall the millennium have passed when the resplendent mantle of legitimate power shall emerge from the shadows where it was being kept by the schism. And beyond harm from the one who is blocking the door of salvation, for his deceitful schism shall have come to an end. And the mass of the faithful shall attach itself to the worthy Shepherd, who shall extricate each one from error and restore to the Church its beauty. He shall renew it.

So, what happened about 12 years past the millennium?  Ratzinger stepped down in early 2013, i.e. after 12 years had passed, yielding to Bergoglio.  Strangely, Bergoglio has led to a lot of people waking up regarding the "schism" and this hiding in the shadows of the "mantle of legitimate power", where it had been placed by the schism.  Sounds very much like the eclipse of the Church foretold by Our Lady of LaSalette.  Could it be that we get that "worthy Shepherd" after Bergoglio passes away?

So this was the first press conference given by Bergoglio's doctors on February 21st at 5:30 PM Rome time.

"Pope Francis is well but is not out of danger yet” and will have to remain in the hospital “at least all next week,” two of his doctors said at a press briefing at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 21. Nevertheless, they said, “his life is not in danger right now.

So the next morning, after the doctors declare that "his life is not in danger" and that he is "well", wham, the next day he goes critical.

Pope in hospital, condition remains critical but no new respiratory crisis (https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2025-02/pope-condition-critical-but-no-new-respiratory-crisis.html)

Pope Francis is alert and oxygen is still being administered. His blood values are improving thanks to transfusions. There is an initial slight renal insufficiency. He attended Mass today.

Vatican News

The Holy See Press Office provided the following medical update on Pope Francis on Sunday evening:

The condition of the Holy Father remains critical, but since yesterday evening, he has not experienced any further respiratory crises.

He received two units of concentrated red blood cells with beneficial effects, and his hemoglobin levels have risen. 

The thrombocytopenia remains stable; however, some blood tests show early, mild renal insufficiency, which is currently under control. 

High-flow oxygen therapy continues through nasal cannulas. 

The Holy Father remains alert and well-oriented. 

The complexity of the clinical situation and the necessary time for the pharmacological treatments to show results require that the prognosis remain guarded.

This morning, in the apartment on the tenth floor, he participated in the Holy Mass, together with those who have been taking care of him during these days of hospitalization.

Although we are in basic agreement about "the worthy shepherd" being revealed in the near future, I want to caution you about the translation/interpretation of the prophecy as it is commonly seen. 

If you read the original Italian poem by Bl. Tomasuccio of Foligno, you will see that the text commonly quoted on the internet is an embellished interpretation of the orginal poem.

Here is the embellished internet version:

Quote
By about twelve years shall the millennium have passed when the resplendent mantle of legitimate power shall emerge from the shadows where it was being kept by the schism. And beyond harm from the one who is blocking the door of salvation, for his deceitful schism shall have come to an end. And the mass of the faithful shall attach itself to the worthy Shepherd, who shall extricate each one from error and restore to the Church its beauty. He shall renew it.


Here is the actual text of the poem, with critical notes from scholars who have examined the different extant manuscripts. Most importantly, there are discrepancies in the manuscripts regarding the first two lines of quatrain 106 (see the scholarly notes at the bottom of page 173 for details).

He will draw out every miracle
And the church will be beautiful.

So you might notice that "Cardinal" Parolin seems to be putting himself out there front and center, undoubtedly auditioning and rehearsing for the next "leadership" role.  He's clearly posturing to be the next Pope, leading a Rosary (surprised he knows how to say it).  "Cardinal" Zen excoriated the man and felt he was a hidden hand puppet-controlling Bergoglio.  If that guy gets elected, the Antichrist will be revealed shortly thereafter, and perhaps that's what Trump meant by all this talk of the "Golden Age" (of Blavatsky).

Maybe he just said, "I believe ..." and then said "take it away", in the spirit of collegiality, while nevertheless attempting to take the visible leading role.

Strange story out of Rome ...

So, evidently a close friend of Bergoglio (from Argentina) and appointed by Bergoglio to a dicastery, was prevented from visiting Bergoglio.  While there's some controversy over whether he tried to force his way in or not, I find this rather peculiar.

Either Bergoglio did die already (perhaps last Saturday), or else there's something horrible taking place, along the lines of Voltaire's death, or even Roncalli where he allegedly said "Stop the Council!" as he lay dying.  Reportedly also John Paul II's death was anything but peaceful.  I do think some of these men have been diabolically possessed.

Just have a look at Woytla's face at the beginning of this video ...
https://rumble.com/ve7pb5-john-paul-ii-taught-that-everyone-is-the-christ-child.html

Finally, I noticed during Wojtyla's funeral that the open book of the Gospels ("Book of Life") placed on his casket was blown closed by a fierce wind that day, a wind that also extinguished the candles.  Strangely, the formal / solemn excommunication ceremony used during Medieval times was often referred to as the ceremony of the "Book and Candle", where the candle was blown out, symbolic of the loss of sanctifying grace (contrary to Baptism), and the Book of the Gospels was close, signifying that the Book of Life is closed to the excommunicate.

Title: ++Viganò on "Bergoglio’s medical condition"
Post by: Geremia on February 24, 2025, 06:08:27 PM
Quote
Mons. Carlo Maria Viganò
Lapides clamabunt (https://exsurgedomine.it/250223-declaratio-eng/)
Statement by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò
on the situation of the Church and the Papacy

Dico vobis, quia si hi tacuerint,
lapides clamabunt.
I tell you, if these are silent,
the stones will cry out.
Lk 19:40

The contradictory updates being given about Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s medical condition casts a disturbing light on the way Vatican communications are being managed. There are those who believe that “the Pope is already deceased” and that this fact is being kept hidden from the public. It is clear that the Vatican and the Bergoglian deep church are in a panic and will do everything to gather the consensus of the Cardinals together around the name of someone who will continue the Bergoglian revolution. There are those who have every interest in burying their own crimes – along with those of Bergoglio – while in the United States there is a head-on clash of the US Bishops’ Conference against the Trump Administration, after the scandal regarding the funds of the Agency for International Development (USAID) has brought to light the complicity of the Catholic Church in the lucrative business of immigration.

It is necessary to prevent the progressive hierarchy from ensuring that one of their own is Bergoglio’s successor, that is, another usurper on the Throne of Peter who will be the heir and continuator of the previous one. Before hammering the final nail into Bergoglio’s coffin, it is therefore essential and urgent that light be shed on the usurpation he perpetrated and on the occupation of the Catholic Church by a corrupt and treacherous hierarchy, whose sole aim is to destroy Her from within.

The maneuvers of the Saint Gallen Mafia in tandem with the ultra-progressive Left; the unpunished crimes of Theodore McCarrick; McCarrick’s role within the Democrat Administrations; the influence McCarrick has exercised in obtaining episcopal appointments for his “heirs”– who are all ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ and corrupt – designated to fill key positions in the US and in the Vatican; McCarrick’s work as Bergoglio’s liaison to the Chinese Communist regime in order to obtain the signing of the Secret Agreement with the Holy See; the role of the Jesuits in promoting the globalist agenda; Bergoglio’s scandalous ongoing cover-ups of notorious abusers and perverts; the cover-up of the dossier about the Vatican corruption network, delivered by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI to Bergoglio in April 2013 and about which there has still never been any follow-up; Bergoglio’s role in the crime perpetrated against humanity with the “Covid pandemic” and the imposition of vaccines; the cynical exploitation of illegal immigrants in order to destroy the social fabric of the West: all this and more confirms that the Bergoglian church is not only an accomplice in the subversive plan of the World Economic Forum but a leading protagonist. The faithful have the right to know the full truth about all of these events.

After years of lies, dissimulations, and silence, it is necessary to acknowledge Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s fraud and put him on trial, restoring that truth and justice demanded by the victims of his reprisals, his intimidating acts, and his connivance in the crimes of his instigators and his protégés. Investigations are needed into his past life, into the crimes he committed in Argentina (which is why he never returned as “pope” to his native country) and into the murky events that allege Jorge Mario Bergoglio was personally responsible for the sɛҳuąƖ abuse of young Jesuits when he was Novice Master in Argentina. It must be clarified whether Tomas Ricardo Arizaga (known as Tomasito), who died on 20 July 2014 at the age of 11, and who was then cremated and buried in 2019 in the Teutonic Cemetery in the Vatican after having had his teeth removed, is really Bergoglio’s son, as has been rumored for too long and as multiple elements lead us to believe.

An international criminal alliance united subversive forces to eliminate Benedict XVI, forcing him to resign and replacing him with an emissary of globalism. Cardinal Godfried Danneels himself admitted it, referring to the Mafia of Saint Gallen; McCarrick reiterated it when speaking at Villanova University on October 11, 2013; the president and founder of Voices of Progress – a pressure group that deals with climate change, migration, and other woke issues – planned it, discussing it with John Podesta (Hillary Clinton campaign chairman), in emails released by Wikileaks (here (https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/57579)).

The “Catholic Spring” has made use of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a corrupt and maneuverable character, fraudulently imposed upon the Catholic Church as “pope”. We ask the Authorities of the United States of America and Argentina to provide docuмents and evidence of these facts. This will prove that Jorge Mario Bergoglio has never been pope of the Catholic Church: all his acts of government and teaching are null and void, and all his appointments are null and void, including those of the Cardinals who will elect his successor.

It is now time to face the truth with courage, so that the liberation of the Catholic Church from the subversives who have occupied Her for too long in order to destroy Her may be a radical and authentic liberation, and so that the accomplices of the fraud – who are still in the Vatican and will survive Bergoglio – may be discovered and put on trial, before their criminal action destroys the evidence of the crimes they have committed.

Parolin might even be worse, if you hear Cardinal Zen talk about him ... reminds me of an evil Casaroli.

Now, you have the usual lists of papabili ... with a handful of pseudo-conservatives in the list, including Sarah, Burke, Mueller, and even mention of the Hungarian Erdo.  If one of those get elected, then the next step in their agenda would be to finish absorption of SSPX into the Conciliar Borg or Conciliar Entity.

Naturally speaking, since 80% of the voting Cardinals were appointed by Bergoglio, that's not possible ... so if it happens you can be sure it's part of some ruse.

Then there are the heresiarch Leftists in the group, including a couple of effeminate looking ones that might be the transgender one in the recent movei "Conclave", if such movies might be predictive programming.  I'll leave it to you to look at the list, where one or two of them do bear a striking resemblance to the one "elected" in that movie.

Geremia's post from Archbishop Vigano ...
Quote
The contradictory updates being given about Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s medical condition casts a disturbing light on the way Vatican communications are being managed. There are those who believe that “the Pope is already deceased” and that this fact is being kept hidden from the public.

I'm highly suspicious of this myself.  Otherwise, we'd likely get some "proof of life", perhaps a picture with Jorge giving the old "thumbs up".  Either that or, as I said, there's something horrible going on as he approaches his judgment, like with Voltaire (read that terrifying account).

I disagree with +Vigano that the Leftists are in some kind of panic.  They're probably just taking some time to organize their next move.  "Hmmm, should we go back and fool them with another Ratzinger type or do we put the pedal to the medal and pick up where Jorge left off."  There are probably a number of tactical considerations they'll have to sort out and coordinate on.  But there's no "panic", since 80% of the voting "Cardinals" were appointed by Jorge.

+Vigano is starting to lose me with his constant talk of "Deep Church" trying to get rid of Ratzinger.  It's as if he's taken two steps back from where he denounced those who thought Bergoglio is the problem, by labeling them as "Montinians".  He seems to be pushing the Bennyvacantist nonsense, in an analogy with US politics.

I do wonder if there isn't some analogy with US politics, in one sense at least ... where just like we have with Trump where he's coming in pretending to be some great conservative we won't have a similar candidate as "Pope", such as a Sarah, who will go in to try to "clean up" heresy, etc. ... just to reabsorb SSPX.  Trump is neutralizing any opposition to Zionism or any of their primary concerns by dealing with issues his Jєωιѕн handlers could hardly care less about (clean out corrupt Congressmen, lazy employees, etc.)  Jews could hardly care less about any of that.  So he's getting massive support from Trumptards for when the time comes to go after Iran.  He's even throwing Zelensky under the bus to make it look like "I'm not a war-monger.  See."  Then the "snake" (a poem he's fond of) will strike.  This is being very well played by Trump's Zionist handlers.  I fear they might try the same approach by bringing in a Sarah, where Sarah will remove a handful of the most egregious offenders.  They don't really care about those outlier foaming-at-the-mouth Leftists, willing to throw them under the bus to reabsorb the remaining Traditionalists, the only ones who can stand in the way of their long-term agenda.  If Sarah comes in and sacks one or two of the biggest Leftist bishops and makes an overture to SSPX, it's basically a done deal.

Well, sure, but speaking from a tactical perspective.  Let's say Sarah gets elected and he makes a show of disciplining a few of the more egregious heresiarchs among the episcopal ranks, perhaps frees up the Tridentine Mass again, reinstitutes the Motu, perhaps even strengthens it (preventing bishops from blocking it even in public), etc. ... I'm convinced that within a week, the SSPX will have been reabsorbed, from where its destruction will be complete ... leaving the remnant Traditionalists without even the SSPX as an option for Mass and Sacraments in an increasing number of cases.

It's similar to what's happening with Trump.  Those on the Right were so fed up with Biden's extreme Leftism that now they are so taken with Trump's reaction against Biden, against government corruption, etc. ... that they'd follow Trump over the cliff, which is precisely here he ultimately intends to take them.  Similarly, after the Bergoglian era, a Sarah would be perceived as if he were a new St. Pius X, pursuant to this huge shift in the Overton window, and would IMMEDIATELY reel back in the fence-sitters like the Michael Matts, Taylor Marshalls, various other Motarian types into the Conciliar entity.  This Bergoglian era was given to them as the last chance to make up their minds, to determine which side of the fence they wanted to step off onto, but it may be coming to a close where if after ALL the heresy that Bergoglio has spewed, if they haven't woken up yet to the true nature of the Church and her eclipse during this Crisis, their window will have closed.  And not only would a Sarah reel back in the fence sitters (he might even restore Strickland to his "see" ... with Strickland having had time to wake up but refusing to), but he would undoubtedly reel back the entire SSPX hook, line, and sinker into the Conciliar Entity.

LifeSite news is pushing this article to watch out for the Conciliar heretics that might come out of the next conclave, to which I responded on X as follows:
https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/catholics-must-refuse-to-accept-a-public-heretic-as-pope-heres-why/

Quote
I don't understand.  "Catholics" are ALREADY accepting a public heretic as Pope.  What do we think Jorge Bergoglio is and has been for the past decade or so?  No, the simple-minded sheep will accept whatever they throw out there wearing a white cassock, even if it's a transgender like in the "Conclave" movie.  I actually suspect there are a couple among the "papabili" (look at some of their pictures, resembling very much that culprit from the movie).  They've been boiling the frog for decades now.

No, the WORSE situation will be where they'll trot out some conservative type like Sarah.  Naturally speaking, that will not be possible, since 80% of the voting Cardinals were appointed by Beroglgio, so IF that happens it will merely be part of some strategem.

So, the major blessing to come from Bergoglio has been in granting a (final?) opportunity for the "Trad, Inc." fence sitters like LifeSite, like Matt's "Clans", like Taylor Marshall, like many others, to wake up to the fact that the Conciliar Church is an Anti-Church.  You've had the Bergoglian era here as your chance to wake up and get off the fence.  But if they bring a Sarah in to free up the Tridentine Mass again, perhaps reinstate a Bishop Strickland, perhaps even sack a few of the more outrageous heresiarchs in the episcopate, those of you who have not jumped off the Conciliar train will be sucked right back in ... to be driven over the cliff.  So pray that you wake up before that happens.

Given Begoglio's successful shifting of the Overton window, you all would hail a Sarah as if he were the reincarnation of St. Pius X and imbibe all the heresies (ecclesiology and soteriology) of the Conciliar Entity.

In addition, the major Traditional group, SSPX, would be sucked back into the Conciliar Borg Collective within days of a Sarah election.

So instead of keeping your eyes out for the Leftists, wake up to the Trojan horse pseudo-conservatives who continue to push the Conciliar religion and how they might fool you by sucking you back into the Conciliar Church.  After Ratzinger died, Ganswein admitted that the "Motu" represented an attempt to reabsorb SSPX, and if you look at Ratzinger's background, Bishop Tissier, having studied it, concluded (rightly) that he was a "worse heretic than Luther".  Ratzinger was a bosom buddy of the Modernist heretics, wearing suit and tie at Vatican II, but the infiltrator PR machine reinvented him as "God's Rotweiler" during the JP2 era, during which he administered a couple slaps on the wrist to open heretics like Küng and Curran, with the former, an open public heretic, merely having to change the sign on his office door to indicate that he no longer taught "CATHOLIC" theology, so a mere paper transfer.  No suspension, defrocking, excommunication ... nothing.  But Archbishop Lefebvre's hands were still warm from the heads of the consecrands when with unprecedented alacrity and enthusiasm they declared the excommunication of the SSPX bishops in blitzkrieg fashion.  Please wake up and smell the coffee, people.  You're being duped by the infiltrators.

It stands to reason, no?  Those who are driving this attempt to destroy the Catholic Church could hardly care less about the 90%+ of "Catholics" who are Leftists, heretics by THEIR OWN POLLS.  They're already won over.  Their final battle will be the souls of you in "Trad, Inc." ... and your last chance to decide for Christ or against Him is quickly coming to a close.  Perhaps God in His Mercy will have them roll out someone just as bad as Bergoglio, but that would be a mercy granted to you ... but I am doubting this.  I see the Bergoglian era as your last-chance wakeup call.  I pray that you take it.

Yes, I'm convinced that if they roll out a Sarah, who then does things like reinstate and even promote Strickland, who rolls back some of the more egregious Bergoglian stuff like Amoris Laetitia, or at least provides some authentic interpretation that would interpret it away, and Fiducia Supplicans, restores the Ratzingerian Motu, and even sacks one or two or the more outrageous heresiarchs from among the bishops ... such a one would not only instantly reabsorb any of the fence-sitting Trad, Inc. types like Matt, Marshall, LifeSite, etc. ... but would also absorb SSPX into the Conciliar Entity so fast that our heads would be spinning.  Then they can finish off the bulk of the Traditional movement, the only real threat to their agenda

That would actually be the brilliant move, but I just don't now how much time they have left.  They probably know when their 75- to 100- year window of oppportunity and power began, and this might actually be what Our Lord meant about even the elect being lost if the days were not shortened.  They may not have the luxury of time to just frog-boil the rest of the Trads and that might be what saves them in the end, a shortening of the time.

If they reabsorbed the Trads, how many of them realize that the actual theological crisis in the Church involves the ecclesiology and soteriology?  So many are blinded by contempt for Father Feeney, foaming at the mouth at the mere mention of his name, despising him more than they do even Bergoglio, that they basically have the same ecclesiology as the Conciliars.

The most evident mark of God’s anger, and the most terrible castigation He can inflict upon the world, is manifest when He permits His people to fall into the hands of a clergy who are more in name than in deed, priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than the charity and affection of devoted shepherds. They abandon the things of God to devote themselves to the things of the world and, in their saintly calling of holiness, they spend their time in profane and worldly pursuits. When God permits such things, it is a very positive proof that He is thoroughly angry with His people and is visiting His most dreadful wrath upon them.”

I'm guessing they probably know more than they're letting on and that some of the "getting better" statements are just more delaying tactics, spin, politics, etc.  They're making contradictory statements from one day to the next, and I doubt they're THAT clueless, but rather that there's some deception going on.

Thank you for reminding us.  Not since the early says of the martyr popes has the Church been blessed with so long a line of one saint pope after another ... and ... yet ... some "smoke of Satan" or something must have fouled up all the tremendous work they've done to benefit the Church and instead turned these heroic saintly efforts towards the destruction of the Church.

I agree with you.   Our Lady came in 1929 and "the time has come for the pope and bishops to consecrate Russia to my Immaculate heart." 
It definitely seems like she was pointing at a start date.  The Church lost it's head and the freemasons took control just like France.

Yes, that's been my theory for a long time.  Our Lady requested the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart on June 13, 1929.  Later Our Lord complained to Sister Lucia that "like the Kings of France" the Popes were delaying.  Our Lord had asked the Kings of France to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Having failed to do so, the King was deposed 100 years TO THE DAY that the requested was made.  So I suspect something very grave to take place on June 13, 2029.

No, that's when Pope Leo XIII saw the vision, but that's not necessarily when the 75- or 100- year (depending on which version of the story is true) began.  If it began in 1958, then 75 years would be in 2033.  So the period between 2029 (when the Church/Papacy are punished somehow), and then 3.5 years later in 2033 perhaps the Triumph of the Church?  But it'll be something like that.

Only problem there is that the Epstein doc release has thus far been a fraud and just a circus for show, as the stuff they released was heavily "redacted" and, as even Roger Stone admitted, "there's nothing new in the released docs that wasn't already in my 2015 book".  They made this circus of those morons holding copies of the "Epstein files" and grinning like morons as if cнιℓd тrαffιcking by our government officials who are being blackmail-compromised by their involvement is some laughing matter.

After the initial delays that people complained about on X, I consistently responded ...

"Patience please.  It's taking them longer than expected to expunge the myriad references to the fact that the Epstein ring was nothing more than an espionage / blackmail operation perpetrated against us by the Mossad, on behalf of our 'greatest ally'.  They had to put in more orders to Staples for black sharpies to blot stuff out."

I had a couple older friends who had double pneumonia.  They died because they were put on ventilator with tubes shoved down their throats.  Common sense is anyone can’t breathe with a tube shoved down one’s throat.  One friend was starved for two weeks.  Then they did a trachea operation on her throat.  Her funeral is next week. 

He must have better doctors.

Perhaps the same reason the Commies have done it, so they could organize and do some planning/scheming before the next conclave selection.  Do they want to go back to the Ratzinger type conservative, to reabsorb the SSPX and such (if they elected a Sarah type who would reinstitute the Motu, reinstate Strickland, modify Amoris Laetitia and Fiducia Supplicans, and perhaps even sack one or two of the most egregious heretics ... not only would the Trad Inc. types, Marshall, Matt, Lifesite, etc. back back worshipping this "St. Pius X the New" that we'd get whiplash watching them with lightning alacrity return to worshipping at Sarah's feet, but SSPX would be absorbed into the Conciliar Entity within weeks) ... or if their time is short would they prefer to bring in someone to carry forward where Jorge left off.  So the reason here would be debating, organizing, planning, etc.  I find it plausible.

This due to an “isolated attack of bronchospasm which caused an episode of vomiting with inhalation and a sudden worsening of his respiratory condition.”

He had “bronchoaspiration & was put on non-invasive mechanical ventilation, with a good response in terms of gas exchange.”

#PopeFrancis “remained alert and oriented, and cooperated with the therapeutic measures.
The prognosis therefore remains uncertain.”

Prior to the sudden attack, he had been “alternating between respiratory physiotherapy and prayer in the chapel.”

They stage kidney failure like everything else . CKD ( chronic kidney disease/ failure) is CKD 1 ( which many well functioning people are in, (especially after 65)
CKD2, CKD3 CKD4 and CKD5 which is total non-function and would place a person on dialysis. Acute kidney failure is usually severe but may be temporary and resolvable.
There may be a period of dialysis with AKF.
Mild Kidney failure? it doesn't sound too dangerous.

Pope Francis experienced “two episodes of acute respiratory failure,” the Vatican said Monday, marking the latest in a series of medical crises the 88-year-old pontiff has endured since he was first hospitalized last month.

Monday’s episodes were caused by “significant accuмulation of endobronchial mucus” and a consequent narrowing of the airways, the Vatican said.

Earlier in the day, the pope underwent two bronchoscopies and doctors removed a buildup of secretions.

In the afternoon, Francis was given an oxygen mask to help with his breathing, according to the Vatican.

Throughout, the pontiff remained alert and cooperative, the Vatican said.

“It was a complicated afternoon,” Vatican sources said, adding that the acute respiratory crisis, which lasted for part of the afternoon, is now over, and that the pope is now resting.

“The accuмulation of the mucus is a result of the pneumonia and that causes coughing and spasm as the bronchi try to expel the mucus as it irritates them,” the sources said.

The sources added that Francis’ blood tests remain the same and his prognosis remains “reserved.”

Pope Francis greets faithful during his weekly general audience at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, Vatican, on September 13, 2023.

Would Pope Francis resign? Experts say it’s unlikely – but the pontiff often springs surprises

In a previous update on Monday morning, Vatican said the pope “rested well” throughout the night and sources said he was receiving high flows of oxygen through nose cannulas.

Pope Francis has been hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital since mid-February, where he has been battling double pneumonia. On Friday, he had a sudden respiratory episode, which required him to receive an oxygen mask. His current hospitalization is his fourth - and now longest - stay since he became pope in 2013.

The Vatican has been releasing twice daily updates on the pope’s health.

The pontiff has suffered from lung-related issues for much of his life. As a young man, he suffered from severe pneumonia and had part of one lung removed.

On Sunday, Vatican sources said the “picture is still complex” and that the “risk of crisis” remains.

Francis’ cousin Carla Rabezzana told CNN Monday that the family is worried about him.

Rabezzana said the family has not been in touch with Francis but receives updates through the news. The last phone call the family had with the pope was on Christmas, she said.

Francis’ schedule has been cleared to accommodate his intensive medical treatment. He did not lead the Angelus prayer on Sunday, for the third week in a row.

He also will not lead the Ash Wednesday service, which marks the start of Lent, a 40-day period of prayer, repentance and fasting for many Christians, for only the second time in his papacy, according to the Vatican. A cardinal is expected to lead the service instead.

Callahan loved his cat. One day he told his brother Mike: “I’m up to Dublin for a few days on business and I want you to take care the cat for me while I’m gone.”
“I will”
Three days go by and he phoned home and he says to Mike “How is the cat?”
Mike said, “The cat is dead.”
“My goodness! Did ya have to tell me like that?
Mike said, “What other way could I tell you the cat is dead?”
“You could have said anything. You coulda said the cat is up on the roof and the fire brigade is trying to get it down. The next time I phoned you could have said they got the cat and were taking it down, but let it fall and it was badly injured when it hit the ground. The next time when I phoned you could say the doctors tried every way to save the cat, but it was no good and the cat died. That way it wouldn’t have been such a shock to me. By the way, how is mother?”
He said “She’s up on the roof…”
Maybe they’re trying to soften the shock that Bergoglio is dead.

The next time when I phoned you could say the doctors tried every way to save the cat, but it was no good and the cat died. That way it wouldn’t have been such a shock to me. By the way, how is mother?”
He said “She’s up on the roof…”
Maybe they’re trying to soften the shock that Bergoglio is dead.


:laugh1:

Gotta love Irish humor. At least I do. Maybe it's genetic.

The conflicting reports are in all languages. Unfortunately, no one is free from the stupidity of Vatican communications.

The conflicting reports of Bergoglio’s condition when he may be dead already
.

He is not dead. This is absurd.

Whoever is leading the communications and public relations for the Vatican: Look, I'm sure it's a daunting task being the press secretary for an entire country.

But the double-speak is getting old.

Bergoglio hasn't appeared to show any signs of panic or contrition preceding and during his hospitalization. 
If some of the reports are to be believed he is still scheming away to guarantee a suitable replacement after his demise. This can only indicate he is very much at peace with his lifelong work for Damian Thorn...or whichever name the antichrist will be known by.

Maybe he wasn't even seriously ill to begin with. Maybe his "serious illness" was trumped-up by Vatican media to garner sympathy for him while he wanted to take a long isolated break from his regular activities. Then, when he wants to get back to continuing his crusade of destruction, they will say his recovery was a "miracle."

Wow, Pope Francis has never had as much worldwide publicity.
Every day his 'progress' is on the news.
The world loves him. I wonder why.

Do the world love him?  Conservatives can't stand him, and then most Leftists hate the Catholic Church, equating it with child predation ... and so Bergie is just the face of that.

Wojtyla played it well by appealing to the conservatives, but I don't think Jorge has too many fans out there except among the Modernist-heretic "Catholics" themselves.

But after Wojtyla had passed, I made the comment that if the world loves him this much (and they absolutely did ... as most heads of state from all world governments attended his funeral), there must be something wrong with him.

Our Lord Himself told us that the world will hate those who truly are His followers.

Which means I was truly blessed back in 2019 when I spent 15 days in the hospital and had no well-wishers, no visitors, no flowers, no cards, no callers except the landlord demanding the rent.
