Cdl. Parolin vs. Pope Francis?

Did Pope Francis keep Cardinal Oscar Maradiaga "co-ordinator" of the papal inner circle C9 in office for seven months despite his knowing of the Cardinal's scandal?


The United Kingdom Spectator's Damian Thompson reported on who may be behind this embarrassing expose of Francis's "Vice-Pope" or "co-ordinator" of the C9:

"Are we to believe, then, that Francis kept Maradiaga in office for seven months while the outside world was told nothing of this scandal?"

"Some Catholic observers are speculating that Maradiaga is the victim of a hit job by forces inside the Secretariat of State, the sprawling department of the Pope’s ‘prime minister’ Cardinal Pietro Parolin."

"Parolin’s increasingly powerful... profoundly threatened by a new model of Church government... known as 'C9'. Taking out its co-ordinator would effectively demolish this divided and unimpressive body – and also help Parolin position himself as a safe pair of hands to take over from Francis at the next conclave..."

"In other words, the old guard... could be trying to replicate the chaos that forced Benedict XVI out of office..."

"What they won’t get, I suspect, is a resignation. Jorge Bergoglio is not a quitter... he doesn’t care what his critics think so long as he can punish them."

"But, though he may not realise it, his personal credibility is now so fragile that the office of the papacy is losing some of its spiritual authority. He has very little time in which to put matters right."
(https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2017/12/time-is-running-out-for-the-dictator-pope-as-a-new-scandal-hits-rome/)

The Spectator's "Catholic observers" appear to be on the right track. Logic and the evidence point to Parolin as the most likely person to leak the Maradiaga scandal report.

The National Catholic Register revealed that the report of the Maradiaga scandal was "send to the Pope.. As well as... Cardinal Pietro Parolin... Cardinal Marc Ouellet... Archbishop Angelo Becciu... we're all informed."
(National Catholic Register, "Cardinal Maradiaga Denies Financial Allegations, But Questions Remain Unanswered," December 23, 2017)

Becciu works for Parolin. He is his employee.

Ouellet is a has-been who was once considered papabile (a possible future pope), but is no longer. He is a flip-flopper who was a conservative under Pope Benedict XVI and is now a liberal under Francis.

Of those who were informed of the Maradiaga scandal report, Parolin has the most to benefit by leaking it to the media.

Parolin is a smooth operator.

While Ouellet attacked those who issued the Filial Correction, Parolin called for "dialogue" with them thus positioning himself as a moderate in a future conclave to elect a Pope.

He appears to be a leftist who can portray himself as a moderate as Barrack Obama did when he ran for president.

According to the Catholic Herald, the bishops of Venezuela thought Parolin was "too favorable" to the socialist "tyrant" Nicolas Chavez when he was their nuncio and the Chinese hero Cardinal Joesph Zen "accused Parolin of putting diplomacy before faith" in attempting to betray the Chinese underground Catholic Church to win a diplomatic breakthrough with the communist regime as Francis's Secretary of State.
(Catholic Herald, "How Cardinal Parolin won the Vatican civil war," November 9, 2017)

Parolin appears to be a leftist who will betray the Catholic faith to leftist global secularism to achieve worldly diplomatic success.

The Fatima Perspectives website asked:

"What was Cardinal Parolin doing at the World Economic Forum Meeting in Davos, Switzerland? Why did he participate in a gathering at which George Soros and other globalist... lamented... the election of... Trump... and other alarming signs that the swinish masses are starting to kick against the New World Order (NWO)?"
(Fatima Perspectives, "Cardinal Parolin: Diplomat of the New World Order," January 20, 2017)

Parolin at the next conclave will probably claim he was only loyally following Francis's policies which is true. But, as the Venezuelan bishops know, he was "too favorable" to socialist tyrants before he joined the Francis inner circle.

As the Spectator pointed out it appears that Francis's time is running out and the next conclave may be coming sooner than expected.

If the Dubia Cardinals issue two corrections next year as some are anticipating and if Francis refused to heed both warnings he would become canonically guilty of heresy which means after one more procedure he could soon cease to be pope according to theologian John Lamont.

Even without the possible verdict of his becoming canonically guilty of heresy, the secular media can't keep covering-up the continuous scandals of his papacy. His "personal credibility is now so fragile that the office of the papacy is losing some of it's spiritual authority."

On top of all the above, now the apparently only competent member of Francis's inner circle who he trusts may be undermining him.

The leftist Vatican expert John Allen who has many sources inside the Francis Vatican explains how central Parolin is to the present pontificate:

"Today, everyone knows that if you want to put something on Francis's agenda... there's only one game in town, and it runs through Parolin... when Francis needs advice or a play to be executed, it's increasingly Parolin to whom he turns."
(Crux, "More and more, Parolin's the face of authority in Francis's Vatican," August 10, 2017)

If the Spectator is right and Parolin is behind the Maradiaga scandal report leak then indeed the 81 year old Francis "has very little time" and has lost the only apparent competent member of his inner circle.

He is up the creek without a paddle.


Pray an Our Father now for the Church, that the Dubia Cardinals issue the correction and that Parolin is not elected the next pope.

I doubt the pope is up a creek at all. No, he is firmly in power until God intervenes. Scandals in the Vatican? Par for the course these days where sodomite orgies and bank fraud are daily ho-hums.

5 Dubia Questions for 1P5's Steve Skojec & All faithful Catholics especially Francis is definitely Pope Cardinals, Bishops & pundits

Here are five really short and easy to answer dubia questions which hopefully aren't too complicated for Steve Skojec, publisher of the One Peter Five website, to answer. To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...

UPDATE: Fr. Ripperger's Prayer Recommendation for the Election: He Calls It "The Most Efficatious Prayer in Crushing Diabolical Influence In the Area of Oppression"!

During a recent interview on the Grace Force Podcast on YouTube, Exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger   provided updated information that the prayers he officially recommends  for the laity to say with regard to the election, President Trump and our country  are the two  prayers posted below.  https://youtu.be/UKrLr4jW0Eo First of all, it is very important to start by saying that the usual means of receiving merit and graces are of paramount importance. That is, remain in a state of grace, recite the rosary daily, attend Mass as frequently as possible, receiving frequent communion, and frequent confession.  Father Ripperger mentions that we should offer all these things up and ultimately to be praying for an "honest, fair, and just election"..."and "for Trump's protection."  He references his book,  Deliverance Prayers: for Use by the Laity,  and states, "there is a prayer, and this is the one that I'm going to recommend because it's the one...
