Pope Francis

[Peter Lemkin]

He sounds really progressive [sarcasm]. So, repress the Liberation Theology, keep the CC conservative and even oppressive to many, let the scandals roll on - especially the Vatican Bank scandals.....nothing has changed....maybe even some Gladio action will be tolerated.

What did you expect, someone radical/revolutionary/pro-Peace and morality like Jesus?!

IMO, Its a corporation....only a religious one. Cardinals are the Board and its business and the usual pedophilia scandals as usual. Women and progressives/reformers can hope for no changes.

I hope I didn't offend any Catholics - I could easily criticize any organized religion.

NB

On April 15, 2005, a human rights lawyer filed a criminal complaint against Bergoglio, accusing him of conspiring with the junta in 1976 to kidnap two Jesuit priests, whom he, as superior of the Society of Jesus of Argentina in 1976, had asked to leave their pastoral work following conflict within the Society over how to respond to the new military dictatorship, with some priests advocating a violent overthrow. Bergoglio's spokesman has flatly denied the allegations. No evidence was presented linking the cardinal to this crime.[5]

THAT is REALLY troubling!

It seems that we did have one like that - Pope John Paul the first- but the ptb did not like his reformist attitude and he suddenly died. Aside from a book I once had and stupidly loaned out in the 80's called "In God's name" (I think that was the title it was never returned), not much has been writtten about this inside job.

Murder and corruption - New evidence of the vatican cover-up

Over 6,000,000 copies sold worldwide.

In God's Name has been at the top of the bestseller lists all over the world. It contains some of the most explosive and dramatic revelations ever published about the internal affairs of the Vatican.
During the late evening of September 28th or the early morning of September 29th, 1978, Pope John Paul 1, Albino Luciani, known as the smiling Pope, died only thirty-three days after his election.
David Yallop began his investigations into his death at the request of certain individuals resident in Vatican City who were disturbed by a cover-up of the true circumstances surrounding the discovery of the Pope's body. It is his conviction that murder was the fate of Albino Luciani and he presents this evidence in this enthralling book.
Over three years continual and exhaustive research, David Yallop uncovered a chain of corruption that linked leading figures in financial, political, criminal and clerical circles around the world in a conspiracy of awesome proportions. To this day the central questions raised in In God's Name remain unanswered. A new updated edition containing additional evidence is now available. Publication date: 5th April 2007

I read the book long ago and it was very interesting......in the light of the Popes since and the current resignation under the cloud of scandals, the Pope shot by one of the Gray Wolves [known to be connected to Gladio and other dark organizations], the recent ''I love the Argentinian Junta" Pope...it might just be time to re-read the book......along with God's Banker - about Calvi.
