Liberal Fabiolas Santiago who has "been critical of Trump" said that President Trump "got what he deserved: the cold shoulder" from the Pope. In a article for the Miami Herald Santiago said Francis had a "smiling face" for dictators and a disdainful face for the President, but no "matter how I dislike President Trump... he was democratically elected. " In the article he wrote: I like Pope Francis, but when it comes to strongmen, he plays the hypocrite card..." "But the Cuban and Venezuelan people desperately need his moral authority... Pope Francis' warmth toward the Castros, seen under the light of the Trump scorn, sends a message to the world that their rule is acceptable. " (Miami Herald, May 26, 2017, "If only Pope Francis treated dictators with the disdain he showed President Trump")

A Vatican expert who has met Pope Francis told me: "There's an old saying: the louder they scream, the scare-der they are. This applies to Oscar the Grouch." "Maradiaga's unprovoked, caustic, low blow at Burke is simply bizarre, but it signals to me that they are losing their popularity. Oscar's rant signals desperation. He senses the wind is shifting away from the merciful Pope." "The fact that Burke is still around, gaining traction and the voice of the Resistance is infuriating them." According to the source who wishes to remain anonymous, "Francis is very thin skinned." The "series of Resistance conferences in Rome's steps" and the "band of bloggers" is getting "under his skin." The Vatican expert's advice to the Resistance and the band of bloggers: "Keep the heat on."

With Pope Francis like Pope Honorius now officially teaching heresy we need a bird's eye view or perspective. When Honorius taught heresy the Holy See wasn't vacant and the Church didn't die. As in the time of Honorius, the Holy See is not vacant and the Catholic Church is still the Church founded by Jesus Christ that will endure until He returns at the end of time. Remember that the Church survived the heresy of Honorius and he was not condemned until after his death. The See didn't become vacant and the Church didn't die. The Catholic Church survived Honorius and will survive Francis. Honorius was not even corrected or even challenged by the bishops of his time. At least, Francis is being challenged and may be corrected. We must pray that the Dubia Cardinals correct the Pope. Most importantly, we must hold on to our God given faith, hope and love/charity. We must pray, do penance, do our daily duty and influence those around us towards God and...

Cardinal Oscar Maradiaga, called the Vice-Pope by many, is the head of Pope Francis's nine Cardinal inner circle to reform the Vatican. According to journalist Christine Niles: "Maradiaga was also longtime head of Caritas International...which happens to be a member of the governing body of the World Social Forum - a Communist, pro-homosexual group." (ChurchMilitant.com, August 14, 2017) The Vice-Pope in September 2015 was head of a conference whose main purpose was to promote "the abstruse positions of Cardinal Walter Kasper." (LifeSiteNews.com, August 10, 2015, "Close papal adviser heads conference attacking Church's moral teachings") For those like Maradiaga who are Kasperites, it appears that the ultimate purpose of the Kasper Proposal is to impose the gay mafia agenda on Catholic moral teachings. Fr. Zuhlsdord at his website on April 16, 2016 posted: The " Trojan Horse Archbishop Bruno Forte stealthily snuck into the Synod...

-Updated August 4, 2017- Pope Francis remained silent as many world leaders issued condemnations of the rigged Venezuelan election. Today, liberal crux.com reported the Pope through a Vatican statement mildly urged the dictator Nicolas Maduro "to consider the 'avoidance or suspension of... new constitution assembly.'" There was no mention that the assembly was voted in by a rigged election. Among world leaders, why are only Pope Francis, the Cuban dictatorship and a couple of leftist regimes remaining silent about the Venezuelan rigged election? Even liberal CBS's headline reported: "Voting machine firm: Venezuela vote rigged 'without any doubt.'" (cbsnews.com, August 2, 2017) The BBC image of a Venezuelan protestor in a tear gas mask facing Maduro's goons with a sling shot should bring even the hard hearted leftist supporters of the dictatorship to tears or shame. (BBC.com, August 2, 2017) Especially when remembering that Di...

Nicolas Maduro is trying to save his dictatorship by accusing "his country's bishops of ignoring Pope Francis's call for dialogue." (Crux, May 15, 2017) The left leaning Pope Francis appears by his silence to be willing to allow Maduro to use his words as propaganda to prolong the ruling leftist dictatorship. The Pope remains silent even as the liberal CNN has video of leftist government tanks mowing down Venezuelan protestors on Google. The papacy remains silent as the vast majority of the people of Venezuela are calling for democracy. Francis remains silent despite the Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin on Saturday saying: "I believe that elections are the only solution." (Crux, May 13, 2017) Maduro is refusing to hold free elections despite the Vatican Secretary of State statement. As the Venezuelan protestors calling for freedom are arrested and killed by the dictator and as the papal words are used as propaganda, Pope Francis's...

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 ...
