As Jesus suffered under Pontius Pilate so it appears that Venezuela suffered under Pope Francis. Were Pilate's hands innocent of the blood of Jesus after he washed his hands in water? Are Francis's hands innocent of the Venezuelan victim's blood after his so-called negotiations? Vatican expert Sandro Magister counts 40 dead, 1,000 wounded and "the growing systematic aggression against...the Catholic Church...death threats and blasphemous graffiti on the walls of churches" as Francis allows Socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro to crucify his own countrymen as they plead for democracy. (Magister.blog, "Pontius Pilate Has Reappeared In Venezuela," May 11, 2017) The Vatican expert confirmed "Pope Francis has been punctually informed about everything" happening in the country directly by the Venezuelan bishops. The bishops have "disappointment and anger" against Francis's April 29 statement which "practically blamed"...

-Updated July 2, 2017- The media witch-hunt attacks on Cardinal George Pell seems to be making a fair trial more difficult. It is hoped that a fair trail can prove Pell's guilt or innocence. In 2002, Pell was accused of "inappropriately" touching two men, 40 years in the past, in a swimming pool. The Cardinal was cleared of the charges. (Catholic League, "Cardinal Pell Deserves Fair Hearing," June 29, 2017) The 2002 alleged inappropriate behavior charges are similar to media charges made against conservative Bill O'Reilly that appeared lightweight compared to the gravity of the liberal Clinton's alleged sexual crimes which the mainstream media covered-up. The media similarly is covering-up Pope Francis's sex-abuse cover-up scandal while it applied its witch-hunt attacks on Bishop Robert Finn. The so-called cover-up of conservative Bishop Finn appears lightweight compared to the gravity of the liberal Pope Francis's scandalous act of ...

ChurchMilitant.com on April 27 reported that a internal document of the Knights of Malta revealed that financially corrupt Malta Knights enlisted the help of "dissident Germans" lead by Cardinal Marx to bring about their return to power using German financial leverage to "manipulate" Pope Francis. After their full return to power they intend to destroy the Knights according to the article. The piece farther reported: "'German bishops practically control the Vatican because they are so rich and the Vatican is so poor'...The document implies that Von Boeselager was able to convince Cdl. Marx along with figures of influence in Rome to manipulate the Holy See into deposing Festing and reinstating Von Boeselager...at the heart of the maneuvers to oust Festing was a sweetheart deal...by one Ariane Slinger, a wealthy Swiss  lawyer" Festing had to be removed because he was "concerned about the ethical implications" and refused the corrup...

-Updated August 26, 2017- Are Russia's Vladimir Putin and Pope Francis ties getting closer because they are colluding or plotting to prop up the brutal Venezuelan dictatorship? A week ago, Francis sent his Secretary of State to Russia. At the same time, a leader of the Russian opposition accused Putin of propping up the Venezuelan tyranny. According to PanAm Post: "Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalni has taken Vladimir Putin to task for financing Nicolas Maduro's brutal regime; he has assured that the Kremlin will not recover the USD $8.8 billion granted in credit to Caracas." (PanAm Post, "Russian Opposition Denounces Putin for Sustaining Venezuelan Regime with Loans, Credit," August 19, 2017) A few days ago, Zenit reported that Francis's Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said: "Russia 'can help' Venezuela in this 'difficult moment.' 'I think that Russia can contribute to the negotiations.'" (...

Pope Francis strolls hand in hand with the anti-gangster and gay rights advocate Fr. Luigi Ciotti. -Updated September 4, 2017- On September 1, Crux reported that Pope Francis said: "Let's call unions between the same sex 'civil unions.'" (Crux, "'I consulted a psychoanalyst,' Pope Francis reveals in new book," September 1, 2017) The gay/lesbian dissenting New Ways Ministry said: "Pope Francis has never, as pontiff, stated his endorsement of civil unions so flatly. (He did support civil unions as a compromise to his opposition towards marriage equality... As pontiff, he did make a ambiguous statement about civil unions...)." (New Way Ministry Bondings 2.0 Blog, "Pope Francis Allows for Civil Unions for Lesbian and Gay Couples," September 2, 2017) The gay movement New Way Ministry endorsed Francis's apparent endorsement of the civil unions of cohabiting homosexual couples. On June 3, 2003 the then Cardina...

Is President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner in cahoots with George Soros and the Democratic party? The Jewish Business News (JBN) on January 31 ran the headline: "George Soros Backed Jared Kushner Venture Cadre With $250 Million" The Real Deal said that "Soros has had a long and productive relationship with the Kushner family" according to the JBN January 31 article. If Kushner is in cahoots with Soros, the first item on the agenda would be to oust conservatives. The second agenda item would be to get Democrat and Soros operatives into the Trump administration. The third agenda item would be to get Trump to break his campaign promises. The New York Times on April 12 claimed conservative Stephen Bannon's White House "job may be in danger" because of longtime Democrat Kushner's growing control of the Trump adminstration. Another longtime Democrat is in cahoots with Kushner to oust Bannon who is the most impor...

Today, Reuter reported that "Venezuela's leftist, regional allies pledged to support...President Nicolas Maduro." Cuba and the leftist ALBA of 11 Latin American countries vowed to prop up the dictator as massive anti-Maduro demonstrations demanded democracy. Before the Leftist countries pledged support, Pope Francis, also, attempted to prop up the dictator. The Miami Herald on February 8, in headlines, said: "Pope Francis, get out of Venezuela. You're only making things worse." The Herald said that Francis's mediation effort "has legitimized that country's authoritarian ruler Nicolas Maduro, throwing him a lifeline when millions of protesters were demanding his resignation on the streets in October 2016." Maduro officially became a dictator on December 6, 2015 when he stripped all "major powers from the National Assembly." The Herald article ended by saying: Pope Francis... stop being an obstacle in the restoratio...

In October, Trump said: "Hillary wants to start a shooting war in Syria, in conflict with a nuclear-armed Russia which could lead to World War III." Trump betrayed his campaign promise in bombing Syria because he heard Russian enemy Turkey's so-called unbiased report on who launched the chemical attack. (Info Wars) The President saw "unbiased" CNN narrative pictures on TV and believed Shajul Islam who was a "primary spokesman and source" for the chemical attack narrative. Islam had been jailed in the UK on charges of aiding ISIS. (Mahound's Paradise.com) Many experts say that it could have been ISIS that launched the chemical attack not Syrian President Assad. They say Assad would have to be suidical to do it while ISSI had nothing to lose and everything gain by the attack. Syrian Catholic Bishop Khazen denounced the Trump bombing: "One thing that baffles, in the face of the U.S. military attack on Syria territory, is the speed wi...

- Updated December 4, 2020 The Vatican II school of the Nouvelle Theologie (New Theology) appears to be central in Francis's thinking. This theology emphasizes becoming over being. Francis says Cardinal Walter Kasper is "profound." The National Catholic Reporter called Kasper "the 'pope's [Francis's] theologian.'" His theology is one extreme example of this school of thought. Kasper appears to not believe in being, but only in becoming because of his Hegelian philosophy. The philosopher Thomas Stark said that one of Kasper's central beliefs is "historical process," that is man's historical becoming or change. Remember that Francis's two favorite words are process and change. In "German Idealism and Cardinal Kasper's Theological Project" for The Catholic World Report, Stark wrote: "Kasper's...'spirit' that--Kasper himself says--is not identical to the third divine person, but is...

-Updated November 24, 2017- This week the National Catholic Reporter reported that Pope Francis created a new department for Cardinal Pietro Parolin's Secretariat of State. The Vatican expert John Allen at Crux said of Parolin "that there's no single figure in Pope Francis's Vatican today more trusted, or more powerful." (Crux, "More and more Parolin's face of authority in Francis's Vatican," August 10, 2017) The Reporter in the article didn't reveal that one of Parolin's top diplomats is "sought in Canada for child porn charges" according to CTN News. (CTN, "Vatican diplomat sought in Canada on child porn charges," September 29) CTN's article said that Monsignor Carlo Capella is accused of "accessing, possessing and distributing child pornography" in Winsdor, Canada. "Capella's boss" is Parolin who is head of the Secretariat of State. The monsignor was "a high-ranking prie...

President Donald Trump and the very foundations of American democracy appear to be the victims of what seems to be a coup attempt by Washington insiders. As Roseanne Barr said the attack on Trump is "really a disguised attack on American voters." Rush Limbaugh, today, on his show said: "These people know there isn't any evidence of this, but that doesn't matter. What everyone in Washington supports is the smearing, the slander, the libel of Donald Trump. And these hearings today? The FBI director James Comey, is...trying to save the careers of a lot of people - his included - in, I think, an inappropriate way." Limbaugh for most of the show showed that there is "no evidence" for the false "narrative" that there was collision between Trump and the Russians. Rush said Comey and the Washington insiders appear to be threatening impeachment using the false narrative that he showed over and over again has no evidence. It is propaga...

-Updated July 22, 2017- A internationally respected investigator and attorney as well as the documented facts gives us the detailed answer below on whom the present Pope is really working for: Pope Francis on September 1, 2016 said he was "gratified that on September 2015 the nations of the world adopted the Sustainable Development Goals" which calls for universal access to abortion. Does this means that Francis is "gratified" about universal access to abortion because he made no qualifying exception to abortion in his endorsement then or to this day? Does the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals really plan universal access to abortion? Goal 6 of the United Nations (UN) Substantial Development Goals (SDG) states that nations must: "Ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights." The UN Conference in Cairo in 1994 said "abortion (as specified in paragraph 8.25)" is a "basic component...

Pope Francis's close collaborator Cardinal Marx says married men in adulterous "irregular relationships" can receive the sacrament of Holy Communion. Logically, the next question such be: Can married men in adulterous "irregular relationships" receive the sacrament of Holy Orders and be priests? Another question that should be asked is: Can men fornicating in cohabiting "irregular relationships" be ordained to the priesthood? After all, Francis said men cohabiting have "the grace of a real marriage." Pope Francis's apparent desire to ordain married men leads to many new possibilities that the saints could only have dreamed about in their nightmares.

The New York Times, March 4 headline: Trump, Offering No Evidence, Says Obama Tapped His Phones On January 29, the Times headline was: Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides In this article the Times wrote that "wiretapping communications had been provided to the (Obama) White House" according to a American Spectator article. The March 7 article was titled "Mark Levin's homerun: liberal media admits government spied on wiretapped political opponents." Levin revealed that many elite media outlets were involved besides the Times in reporting on the American intelligence community's spying on the Trump campaign. Levin, former chief of staff to Attorney General Edwin Meese, in the article said: "This is not about President Trump's tweeting; this is about the Obama administration spying...The issue isn't whether the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign...the issue is the extent of it." Despite the humor of ...

The close friend of Pope Benedict XVI, Archbishop Luigi Negri said the former pope decided to resign as a result of “tremendous pressure.” “I am certain that the truth will emerge one day showing grave liability both inside and outside the Vatican.”Negri said: “It is no coincidence that in America, even on the basis of what has been published by Wikileaks, some Catholic groups have asked President Trump to open a commission of inquiry to investigate whether the administration of Barack Obama exerted pressure on Benedict.”[ https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/italian-archbishop-pope-benedict-retired-due-to-tremendous-pressure ] The Italian website  anonimidellacroce in an article by 'Fra Christoforo,' which has inside sources in the Vatican, agrees that Benedict was pressured to resign:  "Before the month in April 2012, Benedict I HAD NO INTENTION TO RESIGN. RATHER! He is a Pope who LOVES THE TRUTH '. AND FOR THE TRUTH 'IS DEAD. "IN THE MONTH OF Septe...

-Updated August 11, 2017- Crux contributing editor Austen Ivereigh is the mouthpiece of Crux editor John Allen as Fr. Antonio Spadaro is the "mouthpiece" of Pope Francis. Ivereigh's piece "Pope Francis and the convert problem" for Allen's Crux is really a attack on the Catholic faith as Catholic World Report editor Carl Olson said: "The real attack here is not on converts, but on Catholics upholding the Catholic faith." (Lifesitenews.com, "Pope Francis' biographer: Catholic converts who question pope are mentally ill," August 11, 2017) Ivereigh, Allen and Spadaro are all just mouthpieces of Pope Francis's reorientation away from "John Paul II and Benedict XVI" and ultimately the Catholic faith that build Western Civilization. Francis's "mouthpiece" and close collaborator Spadaro's recent attack on "value voters" or pro-life & pro-family Catholics is only a rehash of Crux editor ...

With Pope Francis's "apparent approval" a sex education program using pornography "like" that used by "sexual predators" was released at World Youth Day according to a March 6 article. The article was written by Psychologist Gerard van den Aardweg and Sex Abuse expert Rick Fitzgibbons M.D. on Life Site News.com. The two psychological experts stated the Vatican approved and released the Meeting Point program that "contained homoerotic and heterosexual pornography which was like that employed by adult predators of youth." The porn predator-like program was developed by Vatican Archbishop Paglia who is infamous for commissioning "homoerotic, blasphemous art" for his Cathedral of Terni. The two experts said the porn predator- like program "should be be withdrawn as soon as possible by the Vatican and its website closed." Moreover, the article said for "the clergy evaluation of possible abuse of youth...the Meet...

Jesus Christ told the Pharisees that you can't divorce and remarry. It is unlawful. Jesus said: "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." Pope Francis, in his February 24 homily, presented his version of what Jesus told the Pharisees on divorce and remarriage. Francis said:  "Jesus does not answer whether it is lawful or not lawful; He doesn't enter into their casuistic logic. Because they thought of the faith only in terms of 'Yes, you can,' or 'No, you can't." Francis is 100% wrong. He is contradicting Jesus Christ who is God. Jesus said divorce and remarriage is unlawful. He said it is unlawful. Jesus said you can't divorce and remarry. He said you can't. "

The Associated Press revealed that Pope Francis reversed the decision of Pope Benedict XVI  to kick pedophiles out of the priesthood. Francis is now reinstating sex abusers back into priesthood. The AP wrote that Francis "recently" said: "[H]e believed sex abusers suffer from a 'disease' - a medical term used by defense la wyers to seek mitigating factors in canonical sentences."[ https://cruxnow.com/global-church/2017/02/25/pope-quietly-trims-sanctions-sex-abusers-seeking-mercy/ ] Abuse victim Marie Collins, a founding member of Francis’ sex-abuse advisory commission, apparently responding to the Pope's claim that sex abusing priests are "diseased" psychologically and not responsible for their crimes or sins, said: "All who abuse have made a conscious decision to do so. Even those who are paedophiles, experts will tell you, are still responsible for their actions. They can resist their inclinations... "While mercy is impor...
