In the St. Bernard of Clairvaux journey which would end the antipapacy
of antipope Anacletus (with "truth and reason") according to a story
from tradition Satan attempted to block this journey by breaking down
the transportation of Bernard:
"The devil we are told, had a particular objection to this journey. He
foresaw and hated what was to come of it. Therefore,... the demon broke
the wheel of the carriage in which the Abbot travelled... The saint...
took vengeance on his enemy... he ordered Satan himself to become a
wheel, and replace the broken one. The fallen angel obeyed the words of
the holy man...and... carried Bernard to his destination."
(The Life and Time of Saint Bernard by James Cotter Morison, M.A., Page
210 tells the traditional story and page 212 speaks of how Bernard ended
the antipapacy with "truth and reason")
Might Satan in our time be attempting to block the saintly cardinal or bishop who
needs to come forward to call an imperfect council to judge with "truth

from ending the antipapacy of the antipope Anacletus?
Pray an Our Father and the St. Michael the Archangel prayer now for
Jesus Christ by His Precious Blood to send the saintly cardinal or bishop the
grace to overcome any satanic attempted blockage of his coming forward
to call the imperfect council to judge the papacy of Francis.
Is it possible for someone to be an antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope? The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope. In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II. How is this possible? St. Bernard said "the 'sanior pars' (the wiser portion)... declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for A...
