In earlier remarks, I had observed that the real Pope Francis did finally stand up in mid-February secret meetings with over 160 Cardinals from around the world. Many of the Cardinals had elected him two years ago mainly to save their hide. The pope’s message at these secret meeting has been substantially confirmed in an interview after the meetings by the increasingly powerful Cardinal Daniel DiNardo from Houston (USA), home of the “Bush Family Patriarch” (former US President George H.W. Bush), and of the “Bush Family Brains” (former US Secretary of State James Baker), as well as “oil capital” of the USA. I had observed that for two years, the Jesuit pope has cunningly “fed” to the docile media and to diverse Catholic religious factions, who saw their own advancement opportunities and delusional dreams in Francis’ many contradictory and/or ambiguous, but also intentionally quotable, remarks.
I asked what do we know about Pope Francis after two years? I noted we knew much, including ten matters he strongly prefers:
-Preserving a secretive monarchy with “rubber stamp Cardinals”
-Keeping women barefoot&pregnant with no Pill or plastic surgery
-Pumping the Catholic birth rate to “outbreed the Muslim threat”
-Maintaining exclusive Vatican control of criminal bishops&priests
-Putting gay folks back in “the closet” with still “closeted” priests
-Maximizing German Church tax subsidies from divorced Catholics
-Electing a “right wing, low tax” US president, preferably Jeb Bush
-Pleasing China, oil rich nations and “low tax” billionaire donors
-Invading the Middle East to protect papal donors’ oil rich allies
-Making as next pope, Pietro Parolin, protege of pope’s ally Sodano
Now, many of these Francis priorities were clearly on display in the recent interview, that, most significantly, was conducted after the Cardinals’ several secret meetings with Pope Francis, of the rising US Cardinal DiNardo. A seasoned Vatican bureaucrat, DiNardo had been “formed” originally in the Pennsylvania “pedophile priest paradise”, of infamous Cardinals Rigali, Bevilacqua and Krol, along with the current and seemingly figurehead leader of US bishops, Archbishop Kurtz, another Pennsylvania cleric who operated at times under Bevilacqua’s influence. DiNardo reportedly had been Bevilacqua’s assistant Chancellor in Pittsburgh before his seven year Vatican “tour”. DiNardo has apparently recently replaced the politically inept Cardinal Dolan and the slithering survivor Cardinal O’Malley, as the pope’s top Cardinal on US political matters.
DiNardo’s interview reflects from all indications what Francis actually said to the Cardinals secretly — and not the pious platitudes Francis typically shovels to the public through conflicted papal promoters, like those at the Boston Globe’s CRUX website. Apparently, the real Globe investigative reporters, of earlier disgraced Cardinal Law & Pulitizer Prize fame, are mainly content to sit on their decade old laurels, and await in a few months the Hollywood version starring Michael Keaton in “Spotlight”. Ironically, Cardinal Law’s former canon lawyer, Fr. Robert Oliver, is running the pope’s farcical new sex abuse commission. So much for the Globe’s enduring journalistic impact!
Cardinal DiNardo, vice president of the U.S. bishops’ conference, indicated after the pope’s secret meetings in mid-February with 160 Cardinals from around the world, presumably with authoritarian Francis’ implicit approval, that he hopes Pope Francis will use his visit to the U.S. in September to speak primarily speak about issues facing “the family”. Di Nardo indicated that Pope Francis should use his Congressional platform, as the first supreme pontiff to speak before a joint session of the U.S. Congress, to talk about Catholic teaching regarding the unborn. The pope is managing his Church so well, it appears, he thinks he can preach to Congress. Chutzpah,no?
