Is there a Vatican-Clinton-Soros Axis?

This morning at Casa Santa Marta, the current papal residence, Pope Francis once more made his case against those who are clinging to the Laws of God, claiming that they might lead a double life, are sick or are otherwise distorted. He then claimed, “it is not easy to walk within the Law of the Lord without falling into rigidity,” thus putting a question mark on those who try to live the moral life of a Catholic. Here is what Pope Francis said, according to a Vatican Radio report:

In many cases, the Pope continued, rigidity conceals the leading of a double life; but, he pointed out, there can also be something pathological.Commenting on the difficulties and suffering that afflict a person who is both rigid and sincere, the Pope said this is because they lack the freedom of God’s children: “they do not know how to walk in the path indicated by God’s Law”. “They appear good because they follow the Law; but they are concealing something else: either they are hypocritical or they are sick. And they suffer!” he said. Pope Francis also recalled the parable of the prodigal son in which the eldest son, who had always behaved well, was indignant with his father because he had joyfully welcomed back the youngest son who returns home repentant after having led a life of debauchery. This attitude –  the Pope explained –  shows what is behind a certain type of goodness: “the pride of believing in one’s righteousness”. The elder son – Pope said – was rigid and conducted his life following the Law but saw his father only as a master. The other put rules aside, returned to his father in a time of darkness, and asked for forgiveness. “It is not easy to walk within the Law of the Lord without falling into rigidity” he said. [emphasis added]

A similar event recently took place where Pope Francis called the union of two transgender persons a “marriage.” Whatever his reasons for this kind of speech, it seems to effectively work into the hands of those who aim at the undermining of the traditional Catholic morality in matters of marriage and the family.

Additionally, a Vatican workshop took place in November of 2015 under the guidance of Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo where the idea of “diversity” was promoted — in addition to discussing the idea of using children as “change agents.” Moreover, as I have reported elsewhere, the Vatican’s organization Scholas Occurrentes is publishing booklets for children under the title “With Francis at My Side”, in which anti-Catholic ideas such as moral diversity and gender fluidity are presented in a positive manner.

Thus it seems that the Vatican, rather than speaking up against those movements and initiatives which undermine the traditional moral order of Western society, is opening the door to them.

And now, in an unprecedented move, those who resist these developments that take place under the pontificate of Pope Francis are now being called “anti-Francis” forces that are somehow linked with the Russian President Vladimir Putin. As Steve Skojec has recently reported, Andrea Tornielli, one of the closest lay collaborators (and “unofficial spokesman”) of Pope Francis, published an article which listed all the “anti-Francis” organizations, especially in Italy. The purpose of the piece seemed to be intended to intimidate the groups and individuals mentioned. Tornielli’s attack seems to have backfired on him — revealing a method too base and too obviously similar to Hillary Clinton’s poor attempts to steer attention away from her own corruption by accusing her opponent of close collaboration with Russia.

One might ask whether these ecclesiastical and political forces do not, rather, accuse their opponents of methods and collaborations that are closer to their own camp.

Think of using the very methods of which you blame the other side? Hillary Clinton said in the last Presidential Debate that she wants to establish a no-fly-zone in Syria – which would mean war with Russia! And then she blames her opponent for being a danger to peace?

Let me explain this possible parallel between the methods of Church and political forces a little bit more.

Thanks to Wikileaks, we have now increasing evidence of a web of lies and of dishonest and corrupt machinations within the Clinton Camp. However, Wikileaks also revealed how progressive groups in the U.S. such as PICO (People Improving Communities through Organizing) — which aims at changing the moral core of the United States — has good contacts and lines of collaboration with the Vatican, especially Cardinal Óscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga, a prominent member of the pope’s Council of Nine. As part of the Podesta emails, the recent leak of an e-mail of Scott Reed, Executive Director of PICO, has revealed the following: PICO organized a visit to the Vatican in June of 2015, not long before the pope’s visit to the U.S. As the quotes below show, this organization was well received in the Vatican and even invited to help organize one part of the pope’s American visit:

PICO sent a 15 delegation [sic] of clergy, leaders and staff to visit the Vatican last week. Cardinal Rodríguez, following our conversations with him in Philadelphia, helped facilitate our visits. …. During our three day visit we had 15 meetings, including several with senior Vatican officials. We met with three of the main authors of the Encyclical on the Climate that is just now being released; we met with the Deputy Secretary of State charged with drafting Pope Francis’s remarks when in the US speaking to Congress and the UN; we met with Cardinal Turkson, who is both a close advisor to the Pope and oversees Justice and Peace and with Bishop Sánchez Sorondo who leads the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. ….

Conversations that were originally scheduled for thirty minutes stretched into two hour dialogues. As in our breakfast conversation with Cardinal Rodríguez, senior Vatican officials shared profound insights demonstrating an awareness of the moral, economic and political climate in America. We were encouraged to believe that the Pope will confront race through a moral frame. We were told that the Pope will visit a prison while here – demonstrating his concern about incarceration. We were invited to help organize a site as part of a town hall meeting that would connect people and the Pope in a web-based dialogue in advance of his visit. We suggested a Ferguson site that would include youth leaders. We were invited to send participants to the Meeting of Popular Movements in Bolivia in July, which the Pope will attend and offer his first major address following the release of the Climate Encyclical. We are working with Nextgen to stream the remarks to a gathering of leaders in Los Angeles.

At the end of the day, our visit affirmed an overall strategy: Pope Francis, as a leader of global stature, will challenge the “idolatry of the marketplace” in the U.S. and offer a clarion call to change the policies that promote exclusion and indifference to those most marginalized. We believe that this generational moment can launch extraordinary organizing that promotes moral choices and helps establish a moral compass. We believe that the papal visit, and the work we are collectively doing around it, can help many in our country move beyond the stale ideological conflicts that dominate our policy debates and embrace new opportunities to advance the common good. [emphasis added]

Interestingly, another leak had shown how the Open Society of Georges Soros was very well aware of this June 2015 PICO initiative. As quoted by Elizabeth Yore from an Open Society June 2015 Board Meeting:

Pope Francis’ first visit to the United States in September will include a historic address to Congress, a speech at the United Nations, and a visit to Philadelphia for the “World Meeting of Families.” In order to seize this moment, we will support PICO’s organizing activities to engage the Pope on economic and racial justice issues, including using the influence of Cardinal Rodriguez, the Pope’s senior advisor, and sending a delegation to visit the Vatican in the spring or summer to allow him to hear directly from low-income Catholics in America. [my emphasis]

Here we see evidence of a direct connection between the Vatican and revolutionary groups in the U.S. that aim at undermining the moral structure of the U.S. and which go hand in hand with the Clinton campaign’s promotion of diversity and abortion. Recent leaks have shown how Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta, was discussing how to change the views of Catholics with the help of organizations such as Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good which themselves receive funds from George Soros. George Soros heavily funds Hillary Clinton, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, and PICO. Other writers such as Elizabeth Yore have already sufficiently presented the connection between Georges Soros and Pope Francis’ Vatican.

Thus, rather than asking whether those concerned and faithful Catholics who defend Christ’s Teaching in a time of turmoil have any secret connection with President Putin, it would be more appropriate to question whether there is a strong link between the Vatican, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros. If this would be so, the words of the prelate I recently quoted about a “world dictatorship” would be getting clearer now.

C. Joseph Doyle, the magnanimous and charitable pro-life author and president of the Massachusetts Catholic Action League, just today published a press release with the title: “Does Catholic moral teaching matter anymore – to the Catholic Church?” The reason for his statement is that during three recent separate public events, Catholic Church leaders in this country hosted and celebrated public supporters of the killing of the innocent little ones. Doyle says:

On Thursday, October 20, 2016, three Catholic institutions, one in New York, and two in Boston, held fundraising galas which reveal, effectively, the current, debilitated state of American Catholicism, and mark yet another milestone in its spiritual and moral decline.

In all three venues, the sponsoring Catholic entity showcased public figures who promote the murder of pre-born children, the deformity of marriage, the normalization of sodomy, the corruption of minors with contraceptives, the imposition of gender ideology, the coercion of Catholic consciences in the matter of abortifacient coverage, and the legal punishment of Christians who refuse to service pseudo-marriage ceremonies. At all three events, these moral monsters were feted by Catholic elites, and greeted by a member of the College of Cardinals.

The most prominent of these three events of course was Cardinal Dolan inviting and politely chatting with Hillary Clinton just the day after she had publicly declared that she stands even for late-term abortion. Doyle has the right tone of indignation when he comments:

Any lucid person can recognize that the corruption, culture of betrayal, servility to secular elites, subservience to the spirit of the times, practical indifference to the killing of the unborn, and obsequious deference to neo-pagan political power which afflicts the hierarchy, our Catholic institutions, and their parent religious orders, is now critical, pervasive and normative.

Could we not also apply these words to some of the elements of the Catholic Church in Rome?

It is, therefore, incumbent upon faithful Catholics, particularly those in the pro-life and pro-family movements, to inform our spiritual leaders and Catholic institutions that their repeated, reckless and continuing scandals, in which they provide – contrary to their own explicit prohibitions – awards, platforms and honors to the enemies of the Faith, only serve to betray, undermine and trivialize our principles, which is, to say, Catholic moral teaching about the sanctity of life and the integrity of marriage. This is not acceptable. They need to be reminded that they serve Christ, not Caesar. Our bishops are successors to the Apostles, not courtiers to Henry VIII.

Secular society will never be persuaded of the truth of Catholic teaching about the protection of life or the character of marriage by Janus faced bishops, faithless friars or dissident nuns. The lives of the unborn will only be safe, and natural marriage will only be recovered, when the Catholic Church becomes serious about upholding, defending and vindicating Catholic morality in its own institutions and in its own leadership. The reform of the Church is indispensably necessary to the restoration of a civilized society. [emphasis added]

Here we have a Catholic layman speaking the truth with clarity and force. In the face of the growing collaboration of forces both within society and within the Church who effectively undermine Christ’s teaching on marriage and the family – may we all follow C. J. Doyle’s witness and continue to speak the truth boldly and charitably – whether there truly is a Vatican-Clinton-Soros axis or not.

  1. Thanks Steve, this goes beyond corruption, but pure evil going on. Either the Pope is so busy trying to become popular so people will come back to the church without thinking of the regards of the church teachings and not realizing he is being manipulated or he does. Either way he has put the church in scandal and his own soul in danger. I don’t know what to think anymore. How do we get people to come back to the church with so much corruption right out in our faces?? I think the warnings of the blessed mother are coming fast and furious in these previous apparitions. Dear God help us, Satan smoke is making it hard to breathe in our church!

  4. Yes there is… lifesitenews.com reported about Soros donating huge amounts of money to subvert the Church’s teachings on life, marriage and the family among other matters during Pope Francis’s trip to the U.S. last year.

    How billionaire George Soros is trying to hijack the Catholic Church for his progressive agenda
    https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/soros-lurks-in-the-shadows-trying-to-bring-down-catholic-church

    September 1, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – The large sum of money billionaire George Soros put up to influence Pope Francis’ U.S. visit last fall before a presidential election year and to push the American bishops toward support for radical “social justice causes” was not the first time the leftist financier has used his wealth to try and negatively affect the Catholic Church.
    . . .

    Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for the Church. It is being subverted both within and outside by forces who seek to destroy you. We will remain victorious, but not without much suffering, and we must pick up our daily Crosses.

    Recall what John Paul II said:
    In 1981 JPII asked in Fulda about the third Mystery of Fatima said to the Germans: “We must soon get prepared to withstand the great things that will require us to be ready, even to lose our lives and devote all of ourselves to Christ and for Christ”.

    “How many times renewal of the Church was bathed in blood? This time, it will not be any different. Through your and my prayers it is possible to mitigate this trial, but it is not possible to reverse it, because only in this way, the Church might be saved”.

    And I shudder to think that what is playing out is per Our Lady of Akita:
    “[i]f men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity…the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son.

    Each day recite the prayer of the Rosary. With the Rosary pray for the Pope, bishops and the priests. The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres…churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.

    The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.”

  5. Here is my “Layman in the Pew” response to clergy, specifically bishops, in explaining away yet another scandal or being silent in their complicitness with objective and well organized forces of evil. Also, in follow up, this is also my head nod on how the “Accompaniment Strategy” is working-out? what with all these years of “Al Smith Dinner” type events up and down this country….where are the fruits ?…patience? what do they tell themselves, “I just know that if we accompany even HARDER! next year they will end their evil ways..and their enabling policies that put people on on ramps to hell…..I just KNOW IT!”…Operation ACCOMPANY HARDER NEXT TIME IN FULL AFFECT! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/751128bcf0587496a40915d9abda54931523bf528c0e0d66356c03ed2c370ece.gif

  6. If Francis fought hard for the Pre-born in the womb, taught orthodox theology, and fight against the culture of death, Francis could have been ONE OF THE GREATS IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH! But he threw it all away, so sad!

  7. Vatican II is now being fully realized.

    “Any lucid person can recognize that the corruption, culture of betrayal,
    servility to secular elites, subservience to the spirit of the times,
    practical indifference to the killing of the unborn, and obsequious
    deference to neo-pagan political power which afflicts the hierarchy, our
    Catholic institutions, and their parent religious orders, is now
    critical, pervasive and normative.”

    About this there can be no question. There is also no question that those who agree will be persecuted. The evidence is clear that our spiritual leaders are seriously misguided or evil.

    Lord have mercy on us all, especially our dear Pope.

  8. I’ve been saying this since I first saw him step on to the Vatican balcony, that this guy gave me the creeps! I do not trust him. He says one thing that sounds Catholic one day, the next day, he sounds like a ‘Heretic!’

  9. It was shocking to see Cardinal Dolan schmoozing with a proven liar, sexual degenerate, suspected murderer, cheating politician, and PRO-ABORTION- GAY MARRIAGE public advocate with Henry Kissinger the monster sitting behind him at a Catholic Charity event. Just disgusting is what it was and they should have waived tradition in this instance because of the moral depravity of the candidates or at least he should have snubbed that disgusting demon infested pig next to him.
