The Pope's "silence" regarding the current Church scandal.

One thing I wanted to point out is that Pope Francis did seem to address the scandal this past week as shown in the following article in which he says, "The Great Accuser has been unchained and is attacking bishops. True, we are all sinners, we bishops. He tries to uncover the sins, so they are visible, in order to scandalize the people."

To me, that reads like a fairly straightforward message that he opposes the recent release of the news about abuse within the Church, specifically her bishops. One then needs to ask "why?" Pope Francis would be against such sins being revealed.

I have come up with four possible motivations for his response (or lack thereof):

1. Pope Francis is an evil man who was actively working with a vast network of pedophiles and criminals within the Church to undo restrictions put in place by Benedict (highly unlikely)

2. Pope Francis is a sort of useful idiot (one might say, the Obama of the Catholic Church) that evil people within the Church put into power to use and manipulate and he is unsure of how to come clean about this. In this scenario, he would also be a coward who wishes that the Church could have continued its unwritten policy of sweeping these matters under the rug and keeping them in-house (unlikely)

3. The majority of the current claims against the Church are lies and the Church's enemies are using the #MeToo scandal to critically wound the Church in an era where all accusations of sexual misconduct are assumed to be true (look what the Dems are trying to do with Kavanaugh). This is the scenario where Pope Francis is like Jesus in "The Passion" remaining silent before Herod and not dignifying the false charges against him with a response (highly likely).

4. Pope Francis is a whitehat within the Vatican, a sort of Catholic Donnie Brosco, who has pretended to be a leftist in all of his public opinions in order to ingratiate himself to the unsuspecting MSM and the bad guys within the Church. He unchained McCarrick in order to trace all of the cardinal's global ratlines, so that Francis could expose them and drain the swamp within the Church, so to speak (likely)

I have watched Francis's papacy very closely and it has all seemed very to calculated to me. He has been TOO controversial. TOO willing to make statements he knows the media will take out of context. His beef with Cardinal Burke and Burke's appointment to the Knights of Malta (rumored to be at the heart of Church corruption) seemed suspicious to me. I think Burke was placed in that position to undo that organization's criminal network the way Pompeo was placed in the CIA at the beginning of Trump's presidency to undo that organization's criminal network. I think Burke and Francis attacked each other in the media as a smokescreen so that Francis's true intentions would not become obvious.

I think it is a possibility that Francis attacked Trump and not the anti-Christian Hillary in the leadup to the 2016 election because he knew Trump was going to win and he had to distance himself from that admin to keep his cover as some sort of liberal communist within the Church. I think Francis may have been working this whole time with the same people who have been backingTrump. The timing of the #MeToo movement, the Church scandal, and the exorbitant amount of resignations across the political and business worlds are too coincidental to ignore. The swamp is not only being drained in Washington but around the world.

If the above is true, then I believe Pope Francis is the pope from the third secret of Fatima who is covered in arrows and bullets along with a multitude of bishops and priests (in this case, the arrows and bullets are spiritual in nature). And if he is the pope of that prophecy, then he is selflessly giving his life for Christ's Bride in a way not seen since the early Church fathers and we all owe him a debt of gratitude.

It must be noted that he has been entirely in line with Church teaching in all of his proclamations on Church Doctrine AND that he experienced a miracle of the Eucharist while in Argentina - that does not happen to wicked men!
