Ratzinger’s Emerging Shadow Government / Kitchen Cabinet Running the Future Vatican?
The Next Pope? Pope Jester I? |
I have to think that the announcement
that Pope Benedict, “Cardinal Ratzinger’s” decision to stick around the Vatican
in a Convent is a poor decision and or says too many negative things to me.
CONVENT RETREAT
After he leaves office on February 28, he will go first to the papal summer residence south of Rome and then to a cloistered convent inside the Vatican walls, exchanging the splendor of his 16th century Apostolic Palace for a sober modern residence. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/12/us-pope-resigns-idUSBRE91A0BH20130212
While I know that an 85 year old man’s
capacity to annoy his successor on minor points of occasional gossip is to be
expected.
That he needs the protection of the
Vatican as in an armed Mafioso type bunker, in a convent, says so much of the
reality sitting outside the Vatican Gates for Crimes Against Humanity charges
floating around the legal ether in various political realms in Europe and or
North and South America.
While I can see maybe a half dozen
close friends and or confidants and with ranks of Archbishop and or Cardinal
knocking on the Convent door for a few ten minute sessions of “What would you
do in a situation like this?” type of friendly chit chat, I have to wonder if
Benedict’s chosen successor will be a full and or partially stringed marionette
dancing to the John Paul II’s and Benedict XVI’s regimes agenda hampered in modern times (Modernism is truly a Bitch!) by public
scrutiny and modern social technical communication intercourse.
In other words, is Benedict really
retiring or is he merely moving the RCC control center out of public view.
And the next pope will be a fully
functioning Disneyland minimum wage costumed employee greeting the tourists in the street
while the real power of the Vatican and its international banking and business
empire disappears from view?
And or is revenge, payback German
style being plotted as part of Benedict’s immediate pre-retirement and
post-retirement plans?

The Last Pope and Cultural Christians
Lightning Strike on St. Peter's in Rome - February 11, 2013 - Date of Benedict's Resignation |
I starting writing my blog almost
five years ago in reaction not to Benedict XVI's visit to my city, New York
City, but to the insulting to me media spin of men in collars in the media
calling people like me, Cultural Catholics and or get this "Recovering
Catholics" - evidence of experts talking out of their arses and pretending
to know what they talk about.
I wanted people like me to feel comfortable with
a label Cultural Christian and not feel inferior to the we have a name and a
label for everybody and everything crowd which is usually a negative name and
or label, with the know it all scholar types like Ratzy in the Vatican.
Joe the Pope as I have lovingly named
the present Roman Pontiff in more than one article of that blog had resigned. A
non-traditional thing in an institution blue in the face upholding and
compulsively obsessed with all things traditional and so-called sacred.
Well it just came to me as I no
longer have a whipping boy in Joe that who or what am I going to write about
now. Well, in all honesty my blogging has been an education. With Pharisee
types parading around the Vatican in fabulous lace things like Ray Burke, it
becomes evident that the parade and the show only masks the past glory and the
lost present respect that the Vatican gets and deserves now that it is little
more than a money launderer for every crank right wing group in existence.
In a way the St Malachy prophesy that
these are the last popes in a list revised and extended once I think in the
14th century is a rare glimpse into the humanity of it all, the institution
that at this point in time, the Vatican is little different than any other
corporate headquarters marketing and franchising cheap chicken sandwiches to
the masses.
The facade of the Vatican is just
that - a facade.
Perception is everything and many
more by the millions now know and recognize the deception. The church now I
think is just the people of God no matter how long the museum in Rome continues
to stand awaiting tourists with their tourist dollars.
