Did the Obama Deep State & Francis Deep Church give Pence & Bp. Schneider a pass in their Witch Hunts?

Paul Diodati
What Bishop Schneider should have done is implore Pope Francis to retract all of his confused and “so-called progressive” remarks and teachings which contradict the 2000 year old Deposit of the Faith and which lead people to Hell. [https://www.facebook.com/NCRegister/posts/bishop-schneider-says-pope-francis-showed-him-great-cordiality-during-private-au/1016464137184482/]

Here is what it looked like this past Monday, when Francis granted the request:

What do these photos of the Schneider-Francis encounter suggest? Granted, we do not know what was said or done during their actual conversation. We only have the bishop’s own sparse comments...

... Schneider so chummy with the man who he believes habitually does untold damage to countless souls...

... Francis doesn’t look too displeased either to be meeting with his fiercest critic. If we look at how Bergoglio has dealt with other harsh opponents of his, such as the Most Rev. Joseph Strickland of Tyler, United States, that is at least suspicious. [https://novusordowatch.org/2025/01/bp-athanasius-schneider-audience-with-francis/]

Bishop Schneider Against Archbishop Viganò – and Vice Versa

Archbishop Carlo Viganò is "unfortunately in schism", Bishop Athanasius Schneider told the 'Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima' in a March 10 video.

[... ]
Francis is promoting "some ambiguities and errors”, Bishop Schneider admitted.

Archbishop Viganò has attacked Bishop Schneider several times on X.com. The most serious was the disclosure of confidential information in January 2025:

Archbishop Viganò has attacked Bishop Schneider several times on X.com. The most serious was the disclosure of confidential information in January 2025:

"On the occasion of a conference at the Angelicum in Rome in 2018, Bishop Schneider, who was sitting next to me in the first row, placed in my hands a letter signed by the representative of the Secretariat of State, Archbishop Peña Parra, in which he was peremptorily ordered not to leave the territory of the diocese of Astana, of which he is still auxiliary bishop. And Schneider told me, 'Look what they did to me,'" Viganò wrote.

"What could have caused Bergoglio to revoke that order, so that for years he could travel anywhere? Perhaps the fact that Schneider, despite his muted criticism, recognises Bergoglio as Pope and as such goes to pay his respects at the Vatican?", Monsignor Viganò added. [https://www.gloria.tv/post/KdsDgSBZpgmb4mogcbVpSH6hU]

Is Viganò in Schism, or is Pope Francis in Schism? Conversation with Dr. Ed Mazza. This was a great chat.

Dr. Edmund Mazza:

Or a Sedevacantist, that’s another thing they call you a sedevacantist. But I got two quick quotes here. Here is one from Saint Cardinal Thomas Cajetan, whose feast day we celebrated back on August 7th. He wrote a multi-volume commentary on the Suma Theologica. And this is what Saint Cajetan says, “If someone for a reasonable motive holds the person of the Pope in suspicion and refuses his presence, even his jurisdiction, he does not commit the delict of schism, nor any other whatsoever, provided that he’d be ready to accept the Pope were he not held in suspicion. It goes without saying that one has the right to avoid what is harmful and to ward off dangers. In fact, it may happen that the Pope could govern tyrannically, and that is all the easier as he is the more powerful and does not fear any punishment from anyone on earth.” [https://www.thecatholicmonitor.com/2023/05/flashback-dr-mazza-saint-cajetan-says_22.html]

Did Pence betray General Michael Flynn?

It appears that General Flynn's son Michael Flynn Jr. doesn't think Pence can be trusted. On April 2018, Flynn Jr. Tweeted:

"American Patriot @GenFlynn did not lie to Pence... Why would a highly decorated military Intel officer lie about something legal?"
(CNN, "Michael Flynn Jr. cryptically tweeted that 'you're going  down.' Um, what?," May  22, 2018)

Moreover, General Flynn according to Reason is now saying he "never lied" to federal investigator and "alleges prosecutors threatened to indict his son."
(Reason, "Michael Flynn wants to Withdraw Guilty Plea, Alleges Prosecutors Threatened to Indict his Son," January 30, 2020)

On December 21, 2017, the CBS News article gave the Pence counter claim against Flynn and his son in the piece titled "Pence weighs in on Flynn firing, says White House is 'fully cooperating' with special counsel [Mueller]":

"'[CBS News' Margaret Brennan:] When he [Gen. Flynn] was fired, did you know he had lied to the FBI?' Brennan asked Pence."

"'What I can tell you is that I knew he lied to me -- and I know the president made the right decision with regards to him,' the vice president replied."

 Were General Flynn and his son lying or was Pence lying?

Why didn't Special Counsel Robert Mueller seek an "interview with Mike Pence" when he sought an interview with Trump?
(Washington Examiner, "Bigger fish to fry': Mueller never sought interview with Mike Pence," April 19, 2018)

Why did Mueller give Pence a pass in his witch hunt against the president?

On April 12, 2018, the president implied Mueller was a "Deep State" operative as reported in the Newsweek article "Trump Promotes Hannity Show Likening Mueller To Mob Boss Of 'Deep State' Crime Family."

Why did the Deep State apparently give Pence a pass in its witch hunt against the president?

If the Deep State had been able to take down the president then Pence, who the same Deep State apparently gave a free pass in their inquisition against Trump, would then have been the president.

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia.

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”

–  On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:

“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”

– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:

“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”

If Francis is a Heretic, What should Canonically happen to him?

Did Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the future Pope Benedict XVI) say that Francis is a heretic ?   On June 3, 2003 the then Cardinal Ratzinge r (and future Pope Benedict) , head of the Congregation for the Faith, said that the endorsement of  " homosex civil unions" was against Catholic teaching, that is heterodoxy : "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimatization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil... The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions ." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Considerations Regarding Proposals to give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons," June 3, 2003) Gloria.tv reported: " Francis made on October 21 his latest declaration in sup...

A Hour which will Live in Infamy: 10:01pm November 3, 2020

10:01pm November 3, 2020, a hour which will live in infamy, the United States of America presidential electoral integrity was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the Democrat Machine and some corrupt collaborators within the Republican Party. It will be recorded that "under the pretense of COVID, executive branch officials across a number of key battleground states violated election procedures passed by the legislative branches of those states in a number of ways that opened up the process to fraud on a massive scale, never before seen in the history of this country" which makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks before. During the time before and after the attack the Democrat Machine and its corrupt collaborators in the Media have deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.  The attack on United States has caused severe damage to the Ameri...

Could Francis be an Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?

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...
