Long live the Catholic abortionists. Who put that pipe in charge. Certainly not God

So, you believe that ALL churches should lose their tax-free status?

Guess the Vatican wasn’t content with just dealings with Germany in WW II?.

Please explain why you are calling him a fake Pope. How did his election in any way diverge from the way the Catholic Church elects Popes?

Normally the Catholic Church waits until the previous pope dies before electing his successor.

They ousted the previous still living Pope and replaced him with a pederast Commie

Who gets to define the “political” churches? Should it be the government who defines what denominations should be considered political or non-political? Doesn’t the Chinese government get to define what are the approved churches in China? Would you have wanted the Obama Administration to define which churches are allowed and which aren’t? If Biden wins, do you want his Administration to have that power?

Who “ousted” the previous Pope? He said he resigned. What proof do you have that he was “ousted”?

Agreed. but there have been cases in the past where the Pope resigned (not a lot, obviously).

Given that Benedict resigned, what would you have the Church do? Should they have just not had a Pope until Benedict died? Given that he resigned in 2013, that would have meant that the Church would have been without a Pope for 7 years (and counting).

I submit that the Church had no choice but to elect another Pope when Benedict resigned, and there is precedence for doing so.

You guys need to focus on Paglia....

I haven't missed Paglia.

Nor have I missed your Bishop Barron, Murph. But I'll spare you further embarrassment.

And never forget that it's Bergoglio who has been Paglia's protector and benefactor.

There’s an excellent case to be made that Benedict didn’t fully resign, but was more like an old sheriff that said “I need a deputy to help with this job”.

He is, in many respects, acting like he still thinks he’s pope.

Frankie is nothing more than a lowlife scumbag Marxist thug. Of course he’s in the bag for Biden.

He is a fake Pope because he is not pro-life. That’s a fake Catholic if I ever knew one.

You are of course right.

But, and I am not an expert on this, Obama/Soros likely forced Benedict to step down.

There is a lot of bits and pieces of this everywhere, but a couple of things I found surprising at the time was that the Vatican Bank closed a few days before Benedict stepped down, and Soros controlled the SWIFT banking transfer system.

Also in Wikileaks “Vault 7” there are references to a so-called “Vatican Spring” plot.

I hate to post stuff with such little backing but I remain hopeful that a fellow FREEPER might shed additional light on this topic.

Here are some links to get you started:

https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/03/08/italian-archbishop-suggests-pope-benedict-xvi-resigned-obama-pressures/

I know this is reaching but is that really surprising considering that Google controls 99% of web search?

https://grandmageri422.me/2019/09/02/the-vatican-spring-soros-obama-clinton-biden-and-podesta-forced-benedict-xvi-to-step-down-so-that-globalist-marxist-francis-could-take-the-papal-throne/comment-page-1/

And I’d like you to consider the question: is such paucity of material really that surprising considering the stranglehold Google has on web search?
