What is striking, in fact, is that the event occurred on Jorge Mario Bergoglio's birthday, the day before the publication of the "Fiducia supplicans" declaration which opens up blessings for gay couples.

This measure marked a sort of point of no return: the faithful are starting to understand that something isn't working.

We can remember the lightning that struck the Dome the same night as Pope Benedict's "resignation"; the inexplicable blocking of the bells of Castel Gandolfo following the invalid election of Francis; the killing of the doves released by Bergoglio by crows and seagulls; the fire of the Bethlehem chapel a few hours after Francis' visit; the fire in the Consistory Hall of Castel Gandolfo a few months ago, in the same days in which we published this appreciated report and many other events that Catholics of just a century ago would have interpreted as unequivocal "press releases" from the Eternal Father.

Note the location of the statue:

Low, near ground level. Not at the top of the church where you might expect lightening to strike.

Note also that lightening struck the Vatican on the day that Pope Benedict XVI abdicated.

What a remarkable series of events.

I’m not Catholic, but even I am awestruck by these events.
It would be better for the world if Francis were to be gone, in my opinion.
