Was Pope Francis canonically elected?
We had
already had a brief discussion on our blog about Fr Kramer’s belief that
the election of Pope Francis was invalid, so we decided to follow the
advice of most exasperated drunks on the receiving end of a wifely
lecture and “give it a rest.”
Then
yesterday, the following email arrived from Fr Kramer so we thought it
would be worth posting on the blog (with his permission) for the
purposes of airing the issues. Nobody should jump to the conclusion
that Catholic Truth is alleging that Pope Francis is not the pope. We’re
merely of the opinion that it is important not to ignore contentious
claims just because they are contentious. Your thoughts on the
information in the email – now blog article – below, will be welcome.
Father Paul Kramer writes…
Some
people might question the report of Alberto Villasana — in fact some
Opus Dei types are already doing that. In fact, long before Benedict’s
announcement of impending resignation, a close personal friend of mine,
the late Mons. Mario Marini, Secretary of the Pontifical Commission
«Ecclesia Dei», informed me of the well organized plot in Rome, in the
Northern Italian bishoprics, and in the French hierarchy, to pressure
and coerce Pope Benedict to resign. From the beginning the Modernist
progressives wanted him out. Cardinal Daneels publicly expressed his
displeasure with the election of Cardinal Ratzinger immediately after
the cardinals elected him. Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor likewise made the
very telltale remark that same day, saying, “We didn’t get our man.” The
one he referred to as “our man” was Mario Jorge Bergoglio SJ.
Similarly for a long time as Pope John Paul II’s pontificate dragged on
for longer years than expected, there was a movement among the
progressivists to pressure him to resign. Cardinal Wojtyla was not their
first choice in the 1978 conclaves. The first choice to emerge among
the progressivists was Card. Sergio Pignedoli, and among the
conservatives, Giuseppe Card. Siri. Pignedoli and Baggio both wanted to
be pope, but it was clear already before the conclave began that Baggio
would not be able to garner enough votes to be the no. 1 candidate of
the ptogressivists. (Pathetically, and almost comically, Card.
Gabrielle-Marie Garrone complained that none of the newspapers even
mentioned him as a papabile.) Neither Siri nor Pignedoli could garner
enough votes to be elected in the first and second ballots, but by the
second ballot, Cardinal Luciani was in contention, so on the third
ballot, the compromise candidate, Albino Luciani was elected. A fourth
ballot was held to make it unanimous. I know this to be a true account
because I heard with my own ears the “indiscretion” of one of the
cardinal electors immediately after the conclave as soon as he returned
to the college where he was lodging. There definitely was no “mistake”
(as Wikipedia claims) in the Burke-Young tally of the voting in the
August 1978 conclave: Luciani already won the papacy on the third
ballot, but he himself insisted on a fourth ballot, which unanimously
elected him.
Almost
immediately upon assuming the papacy, John Paul I’s pontificate was
quickly turning into a potential catastrophe for ecclesiastical
Freemasonry. He was going to purge the Vatican bank and remone it from
Masonic control under Bishop Paul Marcinkus, and he announced to
Cardinal Villot his intention to remove the three of the highest ranking
Masonic prelates (Villot himself, Casaroli and Card. Ugo Polletti) from
the Roman Curia and replace them with conservatives. About an hour
later, Pope Luciani was dead. His body was discovered the following
morning. The murder of the pope was carried out by P2 Freemasons. When
Roberto Calvi threatened Licio Gelli to disclose the P2 involvement in
Luciani’s murder, the order was given to kill Calvi. Already, three days
before the death of John Paul I, Archbishop (and future Cardinal)
Eduard Gagnon had said to Fr. Mario Marini, “They’re going to kill this
pope. He is trying to make too many changes, and too quickly.” Three
days later, Marini called Gagnon after having just learned of the death
of Pope Luciani — Marini asked Gagnon, “Do you remember what you told
me three days ago?” Archbishop Gagnon replied, “I remember very well,
and they did it.”
Archbishop Gagnon not only predicted the murder of Pope John Paul I, but
he also predicted the election of Cardinal Wojtyla as a compromise
candidate in the second 1978 conclave. On the evening just after the
election of Wojtyla, I was having dinner with Archbishop Gagnon, Fr.
Marini, and some other clerics and religious familiar to all of us at a
restaurant in the Monteverde section of Rome. Gagnon described how he
had been having his dinner at a different restaurant in the city center
the previous evening, when some journalists spotted him and asked him
about the likely outcome of the conclave. The juornalists were
mentioning all the names of the papabili that were floating around in
the press & media, and brought up the name of the Brazilian
(heretic) Card. Aloisio Lorscheider as a possible compromise candidate.
Upon hearing the speculation about a possible compromise candidate,
Gagnon said to them, “If a compromise candidate will be elected, the one
to watch for is Cardinal Wojtyla.” After relating this to us, Gagnon
then said with a smile, “I won’t be going back to that restaurant too
soon.” So, John Paul II was not the choice of the progressivists in
1978, he was not “their man”, but a compromise candidate acceptable to
both sides.
After some years, when it became clear that in moral and disciplinary matters John Paul would not budge from the traditional position, and he would seek a rapproachment with the SSPX, rather than a hard line, the progressivists grew increasingly impatient with him, and set in motion the movement to oust him. John Paul II even said while visiting Ancona around 1995 or 1996 that he was not leaving and would stay put. Back then, “their man” was the other Jesuit heretic, Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini SJ. The Wojtylian pontificate lingered on and on as Cardinal Martini became old and decrepit (nearly 80 years old) when John Paul II finally died. Whereas in the 90s, in diplomatic circles and where the “good and the great” meet, when Martini was present, index fingers discreetly pointed him out as the next pope. By the time Pope Wojtyla died in 2005, it was too late for Martini — the ‘powers that be’ now wanted the younger Jesuit (heretic), Bergoglio to succeed the Polish pope. However, too many non-European cardinals rallied behind Ratzinger after his funeral homily for John Paul II, so they still didn’t get their man — they got the hated “German Shepherd”, also known as “God’s Rotweiller”, Joseph Ratzinger.
After
Pope Benedict issued Summorum Pontificum, freeing the celebration of the
traditional Latin liturgy so hated by the progressivists, and after
backtracking on some progressive positions of Vatican II, and reforming
the liturgy of the Mass rite of Paul VI along conservative lines, the
progressivists led by ecclesiastical Masons were determined to oust him.
It even reached the point that death threats were transmitted to him. I
was informed by a cleric close to Pope Benedict about the threats well
before Benedict announced his resignation. So, I had no difficulty
believng the reports of Fr. Santiago (a personal collaborator of Pope
Benedict) and Alberto Villasana about the coercion, threats and
pressures to oust Pope Benedict. Now that Freemasonry has “their man” at
the top of the Vatican, we can expect to eventually hear a dissenting
reaction from Pope Benedict and his followers, as Francis pursues the
Masonic policy of the utter demolition of Catholicism and a radical
reform of the Church that would transform it into a Masonic “dogma free
Christianity”, and merge it into intercommunion with the other
denominations and non-Christian religions. Meanwhile, there is growing
awareness among Catholics that “Francis” is increasingly manifesting
himself to be exactly what St. Francis of Assisi foretold in his
deathbed prophecy — “uncanonically elected”, and, “not a true pastor but
a destroyer.After some years, when it became clear that in moral and disciplinary matters John Paul would not budge from the traditional position, and he would seek a rapproachment with the SSPX, rather than a hard line, the progressivists grew increasingly impatient with him, and set in motion the movement to oust him.
