The Vatican and "The Smoke of Satan"

Now: The Persecution of Father Ripperger

In 1972, Paul VI’s enthusiasm for a Council that was meant to renew the Church had long since evaporated, and during a homily he delivered words that shook the entire world: he said he had the feeling that “from some crack, the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God.” Many may have thought: “But this is surely an exaggeration!” The Church is One, Holy, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Mt 16:18). It is true that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church, but they can persecute and oppress it to the point of rendering it unrecognizable.

The pope’s 007 reveals (by mistake) the enormous skeleton in Leo XIV’s cupboard

Jordi Bertomeu, the pope’s anti-abuse “policeman”, defended Prevost against accusations of covering up for the paedophile Father Lute. Yet the pope really did save him. With a device used in at least 1,058 other cases

How many paedophile priests does the Church have to deal with? How does it deal with them, and what becomes of them? The answer beggars belief, and comes from none other than one of the foremost experts on clerical abuse, Jordi Bertomeu, a close friend of Pope Prevost. As Giorgio Meletti recounts in this detailed article, which I urge you to read carefully, Bertomeu explains that the pope can grant “the grace of dispensation from the clerical state” to priests accused of sexual abuse: this avoids a canonical trial, and the offence vanishes as though it had never been committed. The victims? What do they matter? They have no right to information about the outcome of their complaints anyway, and if the pope wishes to grant the culprit a dispensation to extinguish his guilt, his decision is beyond appeal. If you think this “get-out-of-jail-free card” is a rarely used expedient, you are mistaken. Bertomeu himself supplies the figures: in the last nine years alone, a paedophile priest was pardoned every three days. So much for zero tolerance. Federica Tourn

The Resignation of Benedict XVI

A Carnival Jest

In these days, much is being said about the new book by Msgr. Viganò, in which the authoritative spokesman for the FSSPX writes that all «postconciliar popes are in a state of schism with the papacy» and considers them «enemies of the papacy». Personally, I consider John Paul II and Benedict XVI to be saints, and I strongly advise Viganò’s anti-papal and anti-council adversaries not to read this article. I have already addressed the issue of Benedict XVI’s resignation in my 2025 book, but since the Chair of Peter continues to be occupied abusively amid the total indifference of cardinals and bishops—including Viganò—it is by no means superfluous to revisit the topic.

Leo XIV and the Prophecies about the False Church

«I also saw the relationship between the two popes… I saw how nefarious the consequences of this false church would be. I saw it grow in size; heretics of all kinds came into the city (of Rome). The local clergy became lukewarm, and I saw a great darkness» (May 13, 1820) «I see that the false church of darkness is making progress, and I have seen the tremendous influence it has on people.» (August 10, 1820)

A Shot in the Foot? The Vatican Complicates Its Own Financial Case and Risks Judicial Collapse

The financial scandal surrounding the Sloane Avenue building in London has placed the Vatican in a compromised position. But the problem is no longer solely the controversial real estate deal that cost the Holy See hundreds of millions of euros, but rather the possibility that the Vatican itself is actively weakening the judicial proceedings it has pursued for years to prosecute those responsible.
