BREAKING!!! Abp. Viganò sues the Vatican bank for seizing assets meant for charity—says Cardinal Parolin knew, and was backed by a Freemason Grand Master.

I’m so tired of the silly political analyses of the papal candidates: “where does he stand on immigration? On climate change? On the poor?” Look, there are indeed moral implications of the Gospel, but the Gospel itself is what truly matters. And the Good News is that Jesus Christ…

Here is a realistic way of looking at the current voting members of the college or cardinals

🔴 Progressives (15)
🟡 Bergoglian/Francis pastoralists (53)
🟣 Peripheries (socially conservative, politically more progressive) (39)
🔵 Conservatives (25)
⚫️ Traditionalists (5) pic.twitter.com/vBayaZn3rT

As talk of a potential conclave in the near future heats up I thought it would be helpful to make a diagram of the current ideological makeup of the College of Cardinals pic.twitter.com/FHXgoRyYR0

Swedish Cardinal Anders Arborelius of Stockholm warned against categorizing the cardinals along political and ideological lines.

Moments ago several Cardinals seen entering Cardinal Burke’s apartment off the Via della Conciliazione. The princes of the Church are not yet locked in the Sistine Chapel… but the conclave has definitely begun.

From inside the pre-conclave meetings with Cardinals it is suggested the Cardinal Robert Prevost is the moderate of choice. Think about this… As the head of the Congregation of Bishops he presided over the removal of America's best bishop @BishStrickland and the elevation of…

The smear campaign against Cardinal Tagle by MAGA zealots and rigid traditionalists is honestly wild. It’s clear you are terrified that he’ll carry on Pope Francis’ mission to bring the Church closer to the people.

From an expert in China Vatican relations. NB: Italian journalists think Parolin has 40 supporters, not 50.

‘Parolin is China’s man. Chinas Foreign Ministry asked for Vatican “continuity” last week. The world is rapidly becoming bipolar and if the cardinals pick China’s man,…

The Parolin campaign is putting it about that it already has 50 votes sewn up. Such relentless lobbying on behalf of a candidate could easily backfire.

I've studied the list of Cardinal
Electors.

I estimate that there are about 18 “conservative” Cardinals on that list that could bind together.

Those 18 votes are far away from the 90 votes needed to elect a pope.

NEW: Citing the “gravity of the situation” Cardinal Burke today urged Catholics to continue praying his novena after the 9 days, until the pope is elected.

He adds: “If you have not yet begun to pray the Novena Prayer, I urge you to begin praying it immediately.” https://t.co/B4UPfgtHSk pic.twitter.com/itEUTtg1PH
