The French Revolution -- Again! Freemasonic Lodge Hails Pope Francis’ Work As ‘Deeply Resonant’ With Their ‘Principles’

  'Freedom ("liberty"), equality, and fraternity'...

Does that sound familiar?

To any practicing Catholic it should...

Those were -- and still are! -- the cries and mantra of the diabolical Christ-haters of the French Revolution maniacs that slaughtered hundreds, no make that thousands, of Catholic laity, religious and clerics during the reign of terror.

If we don't know history, then we can surely repeat the madness of that demonic regime that attempted to stomp out anything Catholic! 

And haven't we seen that over the last 12 years emanating from the Chair of St. Peter under the heavy-handed Bishop of Rome, Bergoglio? 

He, from the grave -- and his Marxist, pervert henchmen are still at it dissolving traditional orders of nuns, brothers, monks and priests who adhere to the perennial teachings of holy Mother Church and to Apostolic Tradition so hated by the modernists -- and the traditional Latin Mass of the ages.

These ghouls cannot stand the TLM because it is a threat to their agenda in line with Satan and his minions, including the Freemasons.   As you know real popes rightly condemned any "Catholic" -- suffering automatic excommunication! -- by joining that filthy, secret society.

And now, even more truth has come out regarding the real agenda of Francis...

You will not believe this one!

From lifesitenews.com and written by Emily Mangiaracina Tue Apr 22, 2025 - 1:52 pm EDT: Freemasonic lodge hails Pope Francis’ work as 'deeply resonant' with their 'principles' - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — The Grand Lodge of Italy has hailed Pope Francis’ work as “deeply resonant with the principles of Freemasonry,” in the wake of his death on Monday.

“The Grand Lodge of Italy of the ALAM joins in the universal mourning for the passing of Pope Francis, a pastor who, through his teachings and his life, embodied the values of brotherhood, humility, and the pursuit of a universal humanism,” wrote Luciano Romoli, Grand Master of the Great Lodge of Italy of the ALAM in a statement published Tuesday.

“Coming from the ‘end of the world,’ Jorge Mario Bergoglio was able to change the Church, bringing the revolutionary teachings of St. Francis of Assisi back to the present day,” wrote Romoli, despite a fundamental difference between St. Francis’ fidelity to Catholic doctrine and Francis’ “revolution” of heterodoxy.

Romoli went on to praise Francis’ “work” as “deeply resonant with the principles of Freemasonry,” a compliment which is especially significant considering that Freemasonry has been repeatedly and infallibly condemned by past popes as antithetical to Catholicism – starting in 1738 with Pope Clement XII’s papal bull In eminenti.

The Grand Master pointed out that “freedom, equality, and fraternity” – elevated as societal ideals in Francis’ encyclical Fratelli tutti – are “the three core values of Freemasonry.”

“Overcoming divisions, ideologies, and groupthink in order to recognize the richness of differences and build a humanity united in diversity: this was Francis’s ardent desire, and the same goal is pursued by the Grand Lodge of Italy,” Romoli continued.

He further claimed that Francis adopted “A faith capable of questioning itself, of accepting doubt and of dialogue, which we also find in the Masonic initiatory method, based on a path free from dogma, substantiated by the unceasing search for truth.” 

“In these times of serious crisis, the Grand Lodge of Italy echoes Pope Francis’ call for a ‘planetary conscience’ that recognizes humanity as a community of destiny. We honor his memory by continuing to work for an ethic of limits, for respect for others, and for the construction of a Temple founded on solidarity, freedom of thought, and universal brotherhood,” concluded Romoli. 

​​Italian freemasons welcomed Francis from the very beginning. His election was immediately praised by Grand Master Gustavo Raffi of the Grand Orient Masonic Lodge of Italy, who said at the time, “Fraternity and dialogue are his first concrete words: perhaps nothing in the Church will be as it was before.” 

It is noteworthy that, as St. Maximilian Kolbe testified in his Militia of the Immaculata magazine, the Freemasons in 1917 celebrated their bicentennial by marching in front of St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican with banners declaring, “Satan must reign in the Vatican. The Pope will be his slave.”

St. Maximilian elaborated in 1939, “This mortal hatred for the Church of Jesus Christ and for His Vicar was not just a prank on the part of deranged individuals but a systematic action proceeding from the principle of Freemasonry: Destroy all religion, whatever it may be, especially the Catholic religion.”

This aim is testified to in the “Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita,” which Dr. Taylor Marshall notes was reproduced in the English translation in a lecture by Right Rev. Msgr. George Dillon D.D., in Edinburgh in October 1884. The Alta Vendita’s author, who writes under the pseudonym Piccolo Tigre or “Little Tiger,” explains the long-term goal of Freemasons:

Our final end is that of Voltaire and the Revolution, the destruction forever of Catholicism and even of the Christian idea which, if left standing on the ruins of Rome, would be the resuscitation of Christianity later.

 Pope Leo XIII affirmed in 1884:

But against the apostolic see and the Roman Pontiff the contention of these enemies has been for a long time directed … now the time has come when the partisans of the sects openly declare, what in secret among themselves they have for a long time plotted, that the sacred power of the Pontiffs must be abolished, and that the papacy itself, founded by divine right, must be utterly destroyed. If other proofs were wanting, this fact would be sufficiently disclosed by the testimony of men well informed, of whom some at other times, and others again recently, have declared it to be true of the Freemasons that they especially desire to assail the Church with irreconcilable hostility, and that they will never rest until they have destroyed whatever the supreme Pontiffs have established for the sake of religion.

That Freemasonry is satanic at its highest levels has been testified to by ex-freemasons such as Altiyan Childs. As Kyle Clement, assistant to well-known exorcist Father Chad Ripperger, has noted, “The Grand Architect of the Universe is identified in the higher degrees as Lucifer.” The Catholic Church’s first condemnation of Freemasonry was issued by Pope Clement XII in his 1738 papal bull “In Eminenti“: 

In order to close the widely open road to iniquities which might be committed with impunity and also for other reasons … We have resolved and decreed to condemn and forbid such Societies, assemblies, reunions, conventions, aggregations or meetings called either Freemasonic or known under some other denomination. We condemn and forbid them by this, our present constitution, which is to be considered valid for ever.

Clement XII judged freemasonry so serious a matter, and membership in it so dangerous, that he imposed an automatic excommunication, latae sententiae (a hidden sentence), on any Catholic who joined the freemasons. The lifting of the excommunication was reserved to the Holy See; later popes required that the Catholic who had joined the Lodge make known to his bishop the names of any other Catholics whom he knew to also be freemasons.

Clement XII’s sentence of excommunication was expressly renewed by successive popes many times over. It was incorporated into the 1917 Code of Canon Law, and although not explicitly mentioned in the 1983 Code, a special intervention and clarification from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), titled Declaration on Masonic Associations and Irreconcilability of Christian Faith and Freemasonry, instructed that the Church’s discipline and judgement regarding freemasonry remained unchanged from the 1917 Code.

The lodge’s full statement reads as follows:

The ALAM Grand Lodge of Italy joins in the universal condolences for the passing of Pope Francis, a pastor whose magisterium and life embodied the values of brotherhood, humility and the search for a planetary humanism.

The Grand Lodge of Italy of the Ancient, Free, Accepted Masons joins in the universal condolences for the passing of Pope Francis, a pastor whose magisterium and life embodied the values of brotherhood, humility and the search for a planetary humanism. Coming from the “end of the world,” Jorge Mario Bergoglio was able to change the Church, bringing the revolutionary teaching of St. Francis of Assisi back to the actuality of history.

At this time of mourning, our Communion wishes to pay tribute to the vision of Pope Francis, whose work is connoted by a profound resonance with the principles of Freemasonry: the centrality of the person, respect for the dignity of every individual, building a community of solidarity, and the pursuit of the common good. His encyclical Brothers All represents a manifesto. Freedom, Equality and Brotherhood is the triple value asset of Freemasonry. Overcoming divisions, ideologies, single thinking to recognize the richness of differences and build a humanity united in diversity, this is what Francis fervently wanted, the same design the Grand Lodge of Italy pursues.

Pope Francis has been able to combine faith and reason, complementary dimensions of human experience, renewing the Anselmian principle of “credo ut intelligam.” A faith capable of questioning, welcoming doubt and dialogue, which we also find in the Masonic initiatory method, founded on a path free of dogma, substantiated by the unceasing search for truth.

Francis’ pontificate has placed the last at the center, along with care for the planet and a development ethic based on human dignity. This, too, can be found in the Masonic construction of the “Inner Temple,” based on tolerance, solidarity and resistance against hatred and ignorance, and finds a profound correspondence in Bergoglio’s pastoral ministry, which, with its “gentle revolution,” has shown that humility and dialogue are tools of authentic strength. In the wake of the “Francis Economy” and the vision of a “common home,” Freemasonry supports the commitment to a sustainable, equitable and inclusive future.

In this time traversed by serious critical issues, the Grand Lodge of Italy finds itself in Pope Francis’ call for a “planetary consciousness” that recognizes humanity as a community of destiny. We honor his memory by continuing to work for an ethics of limits, respect for the other and the building of a Temple founded on solidarity, freedom of thought and universal brotherhood.

Cardinal Müller Says It Would Be ‘Catastrophic’ For Conclave To Elect ‘Heretic Pope’

 Let us remember, the Holy Ghost does not choose the pope! 

The Holy Ghost does not interfere with men's free will!

And because of those facts, it is quite possible that the modernist "cardinals" at the conclave will select someone to follow in the footsteps of the now-deceased Bishop of Rome, Bergoglio, taking the name of Francis II(?).

Well, if that actually happens, here is what that could mean... 

From lifesitenews.com and written by Michael Haynes, Snr. Vatican Correspondent

Thu Apr 24, 2025 - 11:44 am EDT: Cardinal Müller says it would be 'catastrophic' for conclave to elect 'heretic pope' - LifeSite

"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Gerhard Müller has warned of the danger of a new pope who would be “a heretic” basing his values on the “mass media.”

Following the death of Pope Francis on April 21, Müller spoke to The Times about his hopes for the upcoming conclave and the duty the cardinals have in electing a new Roman Pontiff.

The German cardinal – taking part in his first conclave – urged his brothers in the College of Cardinals to ignore the labels of party politics, such as liberal and conservative. A pope “must be orthodox – neither a liberal nor a conservative.”

Continuing, Müller commented that “the question is not between conservatives and liberals but between orthodoxy and heresy.” He added: 

I am praying that the Holy Spirit will illuminate the cardinals, because a heretic pope who changes every day depending on what the mass media is saying would be catastrophic.

He pointed also to Francis’ acclaim from the secular media, warning that “Pope Francis is well viewed by the mass media and there is a risk [the cardinals] are saying, ‘We should continue.’”

Rather than taking this line cardinals, he said, “have the responsibility to elect a man who is able to unify the Church in the revealed truth.”

A new pope must avoid trying to “look for the applause of the secular world that sees the Church as a humanitarian organisation doing social work,” The Times reported him saying.

“Catholicism is not about blindly obeying the pope without respecting Holy Scriptures, Tradition and the doctrine of the Church,” he further noted.

These words echo those the cardinal made to this correspondent a few weeks ago, when he urged the Church to weigh up the decision of a new pope carefully.

READ: EXCLUSIVE: Cardinals must beware of ‘anti-Christian’ world when choosing a new pope

“I hope that there is in the College of Cardinals a deeper reflection about the condition and the situation of faith and the Church in this post-Christian, or anti-Christian world, the Western world,” he said.

Cardinals should not be looking for a candidate who is in line with the previous pope, but rather a man who is in line with St. Peter and the task handed to him by Christ. Müller stated:

All the time, every pontificate must go to the origin. The origin is present in the office of Saint Peter, and therefore a pope will become seated on the Cathedra of Peter; not the Cathedra of Francis or Benedict. They are only the chronological predecessors, but every pope is a successor of Saint Peter.

He further added that cardinals must put aside criteria of looking for a certain nationality of candidate, and instead look at what the papacy is, as instituted by Christ:

[Cardinals must be aware that] we are not only looking at what will be the reactions of the mass media saying, “We need a pope who is communicator in this world,” or secondary criteria that “Now we need an African or now we must return to an Italian,” or all these stupid criteria. They have nothing to do [with the papacy.]

We have to look to the explanation Jesus Himself gave of the service and the office of St. Peter, in the words he spoke to St. Peter: You are the rock and I give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven and you have to confirm your brothers in the faith and you are the shepherd of the universal Church.

Aged 77, Müller was made a cardinal by Francis in February 2014, and served as prefect of the Vatican’s doctrinal office from 2012 through 2017.

Following this, he was not given a new assignment from Francis, although he was only 70 years old at the time.

In recent years, the German has emerged as a leading critic of elements of the recently concluded pontificate, especially the Synod on Synodality.

Now, he will be a position to voice his views directly with his brother cardinals during the pre-conclave meetings which began on Tuesday morning.

There is no formal date yet given for the start of the conclave, though it must start between 15 and 20 days after the pope’s death. Such a calculation would put May 5 or May 6 as the earliest possible date for the cardinals to gather in the Sistine Chapel and vote on the new successor of St. Peter."

These Eight, Extreme, Modernist "Cardinals" May Succeed Francis. Here’s What They Believe

 If you think that things couldn't get any worse in the new, novus ordo, synodal "church," you were wrong, and here's why...

From lifesitenews.com and written by LifeSiteNews staff Wed Apr 23, 2025 - 10:39 am EDT These 8 cardinals may succeed Francis. Here's what they believe - LifeSite

Introduction by Bishop Joseph Strickland

"Please read through this article prayerfully. As we look ahead to the next conclave, I urge you to pray fervently for the election of a truly Catholic pope. The Church is in a time of great trial, and we must be vigilant in guarding the faith that has been handed down to us.

While we know that the Holy Ghost assists us in the governance of the Church, He does not override the free will of men. It is possible for cardinals to elect someone who does not truly uphold the Catholic Faith, and if a man who has publicly embraced heresy were to be elected, he could not be a true pope. As St Robert Bellarmine and others have taught, a heretic cannot be the head of the Church because he is not a member of it.

Therefore, we must pray with great urgency — not only that the conclave chooses a worthy successor to St. Peter — but also for clarity and wisdom in recognizing whether the man elected is truly the pope. In these confusing times, we must remain steadfast in the unchanging truths of our faith, knowing that Our Lord will never abandon His Church.

Let us turn to the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Peter and all the saints, asking for their intercession in this most critical matter."

Bishop Joseph E. Strickland,
Bishop Emeritus

"(LifeSiteNews) — The cardinals will soon enter a new conclave, yet it remains unclear whether the man who will emerge will be a legitimate Successor of St. Peter.

An article recently published by LifeSiteNews reminds us that the papacy is a divine institution and was established by Our Lord Jesus Christ to achieve specific ends according to His divine will.

If we approach the election of a pope as we approach the election of a political leader, or if we view it as a contest between “liberals” and “conservatives,” we will have fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the office.

As another recent article explained: The power and authority of the Roman Pontiff is immediate in the sense that it is received immediately from Christ and not through the agency of another person or groups of persons. [1]

According to the current law of the Church, it is the cardinals who elect the pope. Yet it is always Our Lord Jesus Christ who confers jurisdiction on the elected candidate:

It is left to the Church to elect, or otherwise designate, the person who then obtains the power of universal jurisdiction by virtue of divine institution, i.e., immediately from Christ, not from those who have elected him. [2]

It is the teaching of the Catholic Church that only a member of the male sex who is in possession of the use of reason and is a member of the Catholic Church can be elected pope. A member of the Catholic Church is one who is (i) baptized, (ii) publicly professes the Catholic faith and (iii) is subject to the lawful hierarchy. The non-baptized, public heretics, public schismatics, and public apostates are not eligible for election.

Our Lord will only confer papal jurisdiction on a man who fulfils the conditions which He has established. He will not confer it on an ineligible candidate, even if the cardinals were to choose such a man.

As the conclave approaches many will want to know more details about the cardinals who are regarded as papabile. In this article LifeSiteNews offers short profiles of eight men who are spoken of as being among the main contenders.

These profiles are not intended to endorse any candidate or to imply that they are members of the Church and eligible for election. They are simply intended to provide LifeSiteNews readers an introduction to who they are and what they stand for.

Longer profiles of some of these men will follow.

1. Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline – Archbishop of Marseille, France

Cardinal Aveline has been described as the most “Bergoglian” of the French bishops and it has also been reported that he is the man Francis wishes to succeed him. Aveline signed a positive statement of the French Bishops’ Conference (CEF) about Fiducia Supplicans. This letter stated that the “blessings should be given as a sign of ‘unconditional and merciful welcome.’” Furthermore, it stated that “Fiducia Supplicans reminds us that those who are not in a position to commit themselves to the sacrament of marriage are not excluded from God’s love or from his Church.” And specified that “it is in particular through prayers of blessing, given in a spontaneous, ‘non-ritualized’ form (no. 36), without any sign likely to be assimilated with the celebration of marriage, that the Church’s ministers will be able to manifest this broad and unconditional welcome.”

Aveline has supported the process of “synodality”; he was on the drafting committee for the final report of the “Synod for Synodality” and has called for a “Mediterranean Synod”. He holds erroneous views on the subject of other religions and interreligious dialogue. For example, he has said: “Basically, religions are ways for men and women to seek answers to the great, simple questions of life. It’s better to have a religion that helps you, that doesn’t give you answers to questions you don’t ask yourself, but that helps you to truly experience life – that’s the most important thing.”

He has also stated: “The Catholic Church first recognizes the possibility of a positive role for other religions, as socio-cultural realities, in the general economy of salvation. This excludes an exclusivist position, which, on the basis of a narrow ecclesiocentrism, would deny non-Christian religions any salvific or revelatory value, relying on a hardened, and thus distorted, interpretation of the ancient Patristic adage: ‘Outside the Church, no salvation.’”

An in-depth study of Aveline’s theology can be found here.

2. Cardinal Stephen Brislin – Archbishop of Johannesburg, South Africa

Cardinal Brislin has welcomed Amoris Laetitia and taken the approach that Fiducia Supplicans is reconcilable with the teaching of the Church. He has previously praised Cardinal Fernandez, whose congregation produced Fiducia Supplicans, and who is one of the figures at the forefront of Francis’s agenda, as “a person who’s got a very broad vision.”

In the past Brislin has made orthodox statements on moral questions; he has condemned abortion and euthanasia. Like many other cardinals he seems to have manifested more liberal tendencies under Francis. In 2019 he allowed dissident group “We Are Church” to meet on church property, reversing a ban he had introduced in 2012. He has expressed public support for the Synod on Synodality, calling it “a wonderful opportunity for the Church.” The synodal journey, he said, is “something that we can develop more locally, to become that listening Church, that discerning Church, and really opening ourselves to God’s Holy Spirit.”

3. Cardinal Kurt Koch – Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity

Cardinal Koch is a man who opposes fundamental doctrines of the Church. His dicastery produced a radical blueprint for the destruction of the Catholic Church and its replacement with a new “Synodal Church.” Ecumenism has been longterm interest for Koch and, if this blueprint were implemented, the “Synodal Church” would become a global church without true authority or unity in doctrine. Koch also holds the heretical position that there is no need for a mission to the Jewish people as they can be saved under the Old Covenant. His dicastery has produced documents that contain heresy, both with regard to the nature of the Church and outreach to the Jews. He defends his rejection of the teaching of the Catholic Church by an appeal to Vatican II.

4. Cardinal Marc Ouellet – Archbishop Emeritus of Quebec

Cardinal Ouellet was once regarded as conservative but has become a strong supporter of the radical agenda of Francis. He supports Amoris Laetitia and has publicly criticized the dubia cardinals.

In 2024 Ouellet published a book entitled Word, Sacrament, Charism: Risks and Opportunities of a Synodal Church. This book sets out his endorsement of the radical programme of “synodality.” At the book launch he lauded the “great synodal movement that is spreading throughout the entire Church.”

Ouellet permitted his titular church in Rome, that of Santa Maria in Traspontina, to be used for the pagan rituals in honor of Pachamama, an Amazonian idol. On October 4 Francis welcomed the idol of Pachamama to the Vatican gardens; during the ceremony some clerics prostrated themselves before the idol. Ouellet said of this act of apostasy, that it “did not bother me.”

Ouellet has been identified as one of the cardinals most responsible for Traditionis Custodes. An order of nuns in his archdiocese, which had used the traditional rite exclusively since 1969, was forced to introduce the novus ordo rite. Ouellet was found guilty by a French court of unjustly expelling a nun from the community after she opposed his subversion of the order. The court described her expulsion as “infamous and vexatious,” and said it was executed without her having committed “the slightest offense.”

5. Cardinal Piero Parolin – Secretary of State

Cardinal Parolin is one of the most determined supporters of the radical agenda of Francis. He is zealous in his support for synodality, which he regards as the continuation of Vatican II. He supports Amoris Laetitia and rejects Catholic teaching on capital punishment. He has praised the Abu Dhabi declaration and has a naturalistic view of religion, raising the possibility that he ought to be considered a public apostate. He has undermined Catholic teaching on contraception. Parolin was, with Ouellet and Versaldi, among those pushing for Traditionis Custodes.

After Francis, he is the man most responsible for the Vatican-China agreement which legitimized the “Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association,” a schismatic sect controlled by the Chinese Communist regime. Cardinal Zen, the former Archbishop of Hong Kong, has accused Parolin of “shameless surrender” to Communism and of “producing” a “united schismatic Church” in China.

Zen has said:

I don’t think he has faith. He is just a good diplomat in a very secular, mundane meaning.

As early as 2013, Zen had warned that Parolin “has a poisoned mind” and that “he believes in diplomacy, not in our faith.”

A longer profile of Cardinal Parolin can be found here.

6. Cardinal Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle – Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization

Cardinal Tagle has a history of strongly aligning with Francis on “progressive” issues, promoting a “Synodal Church,” endorsing Laudato Si against “misguided anthropocentrism,” as well as denying that there is a “formula for all” when it comes to upholding the Church’s prohibition of Holy Communion for the divorced and “remarried.” He has referenced Francis in taking a similar approach to contraception, stating: “particular cases must be addressed individually, and they must be brought to the confessors, and the confessors must bring with them hearts of compassion and understanding as they evaluate particular situations and cases. There he was able to blend fidelity to teaching, and at the same time, seeing how individual cases are unique.”

Tagle participated in the Pachamama ritual in the Vatican Gardens in 2019. He has also defended the Vatican-China agreement. Tagle regards Francis as the continuation of Vatican II. Tagle has been called the “Philippine Pope Francis.”

A more in-depth examination of Tagle can be found here.

7. Cardinal José Tolentino de Mendonça – Prefect of the Dicastery for Culture and Education

Cardinal Tolentino is strongly liberal and has supported many aspects of Francis’s agenda, including Amoris Laetitia. Tolentino believes that “synodality” is “very important” and will “mark the Church of the future.”

In 2010 Tolentino said “the Church isn’t a place of fullness, it’s a place of searching. Our condition is thirst and desire. It isn’t here and now that we realize our dreams. The Church is this common road, not exempt from imperfections, open to a kind of progressivity.”

He added the Church must have an “unconditional” sense of “welcome and hospitality.” He also contradicted the Church’s command of chastity for people with homosexual inclinations, saying it “is a proposal that cannot be imposed, but that is made. Each person who approaches the Church carries a sacred story and must be welcomed.”

In 2013, Tolentino de Mendonca wrote a preface for a book by the “feminist” Sister Maria Teresa Forcades i Vila, who has a history of being opposed to laws against abortion, being in favor of homosexuality, and promoting female “ordination.”

The Cardinals Report suggests that he may support “ongoing discussion and discernment regarding women’s roles in Church ministry, and other issues such as celibacy and inclusion of those in same-sex relationships.”

A more detailed look at Toletino can be found here.

8. Cardinal Matteo Zuppi – Archbishop of Bologna, Italy

Cardinal Zuppi has a history of supporting positions in contradiction with the perennial teachings and practices of the Catholic Church.

Among these include Zuppi’s support for Holy Communion for the divorced and “remarried,” the blessing of homosexual “couples,” his openness to making clerical celibacy optional, his insinuating he would be open to reversing the Church’s unchangeable ban on contraception, and his promotion of interreligious prayer with Muslims. He is a strong supporter of synodality.

Zuppi has approved of an LGBT pilgrimage to Rome for the 2025 jubilee. The first blessing of a same-sex “couple” in Italy under Fiducia Supplicans took place in Zuppi’s diocese, with his knowledge.

One of Italy’s leading Freemasons has said Zuppi would be “a very good pope.”

A more detailed examination of Zuppi can be found here.

Conclusion

These eight cardinals are among those who have been identified as having a realistic possibility of being elected at the next conclave. But whichever cardinal is elected, we will have certainty that he is not the pope if he fails to fulfil even one of the conditions required by divine law. If there are well founded doubts as to whether one of the conditions has been met, the election will be doubtful and a doubtful pope is not the pope.

Let us pray that Almighty God, may soon, in the way that pleases Him, grant us a true and holy pope."
