Jorge Bergoglio dropped the title of 'Vicar of Christ' – A symbolic event in 2018
FROM OUR FILES: April 17, 2018
[Please note: This was a very symbolic event in 2018, this is not part of a rite of his recent death]
Jorge Bergoglio, also known as Pope Francis, has dropped the title of 'Vicar of Christ' in the Vatican yearbook. In this way, he officially confirms what we have been announcing for quite some time regarding the Kingdom Keys (1):
Pope Francis drops 'Vicar of Christ' title in Vatican yearbook
(2)
In a surprise move, Pope Francis has dropped the historic and essential title "Vicar of Christ" from the 2020 Pontifical Yearbook, the Holy See's annual directory, relegating the title to a footnote, calling it a "historical title".
The title 'Vicar of Jesus Christ' stems from Holy Scripture where Jesus grants St. Peter the power of the keys in the Church

During the public viewing for the funeral, the papal crosier is not being exposed
Did you know that...? As instructed by Bergoglio himself in April 2024 (in the revised Ordo Exsequiarum Romani Pontificis [Rite for the Funeral of the Roman Pontiff]):
In the Vatican Basilica, [St. Peter’s Basilica] the body of the deceased Pope is
displayed [for public viewing] directly on the coffin and “no longer on a raised
coffin”, and, in accordance with what is established in the Cæremoniale Episcoporum for the
funeral of diocesan bishops, during this display the papal crosier will not be placed next to
the coffin. (1)
While Catholic culture teaches that:
The crozier, or officially the pastoral staff (baculus pastoralis), symbolizes the role of
bishop as the Good Shepherd. ..... Our Lord is the model shepherd for the apostles and their
successors, the bishops, who are appointed as shepherds. ..... The shepherd’s staff is
therefore a most appropriate symbol for the office of bishop. (2)
May those who have to see, understand this very clear sign from Heaven.
The Roman Catholic Hierarchy, telling us themselves that they are a worldly Empire?
Are they symbolically admitting to be as much of this world as the Caesar?
Did you know that...? The late Bergoglio, backed by his Roman-Catholic Hierarchy, revised [in 2024] the instructions for Popes' funerals and did not rescinded this:
The night before the [Pope's] funeral, the camerlengo presides over the closing and sealing of the
coffin, in the presence of other senior cardinals. A white cloth is placed over the pope’s face.
A bag containing coins minted during his papacy is placed in the coffin along with a
one-page written account of his papacy — known in Italian as a “rogito,” a word indicating
an official deed. (1)
Do you remember the following biblical words from Jesus Himself...? :
“Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered,
“Caesar’s.” He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to
God the things that are God’s.” [Luke
20:24-25]
So, if you want to really follow and apply Jesus' advice now, it seems to be “Give to the Vatican the things that are Vatican’s, and to God the things that are God’s”. What do you think?

Or... Is the Vatican telling us that, finally, “The Caesar and Jesus are One”?
Or... You may prefer to follow the Vatican's subliminal message, which seems to be: “Do not take seriously Jesus' words. He was too much obsessed with symbols.”
What a better way to undermine the credibility of the Holy Scriptures, that such a contradictory behavior from the alleged (2) representatives of Jesus on earth?
And, what a better way from Heaven to give everyone the opportunity to discern who truly loves Jesus?
Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
[John 14:23]

As many in the world lament the passing of Jorge Bergoglio, aka Pope Francis, we wish to remind, for readers' meditation, some information we have published in the past.
The ‘Missing Link’ between Bergoglio, known as Pope Francis, and Escrivá, the father of Opus
Dei
FROM OUR FILES: April 17, 2018
The ‘Missing Link’ between... Bergoglio, known as Pope Francis, and Escrivá —the abomination of desolation (1)— has been brought to our attention via a respected by many Spanish Catholic publication. Our translation of the original (2) follows:
The Opus Dei Procurator in Rome, Carlos Nannei, spoke in a conference about his relationship with
Pope Francis, which dates back to 1992. Nannei tells how the relationship between Cardinal
Bergoglio and Escrivá was: From believing that he was not a saint to kneeling before his
grave.
...
Nannei tells how he met Bergoglio in 1993 who related to him his relationship with St. Josemaría Escrivá. These are the words that, according to Nannei, Bergoglio pronounced:
The next day the Nuncio calls him in Argentina to tell him that the Pope had appointed him auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires. Bergoglio continues:
...
Nannei tells how he met Bergoglio in 1993 who related to him his relationship with St. Josemaría Escrivá. These are the words that, according to Nannei, Bergoglio pronounced:
“The beatification of Escrivá was about to take place and I thought he was not a saint, because
of so many slanderous campaigns against him. I was suffering much. I lived in Cordoba, in a Jesuit
residence, and in a moment of spiritual turbulence. When I learned that they were going to beatify
Josemaría Escrivá I challenged him: If you are holy, take me out of this well, out of this
hole.”
The next day the Nuncio calls him in Argentina to tell him that the Pope had appointed him auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires. Bergoglio continues:
“I was stunned and that's when my relationship with Josemaría Escrivá began. First I asked for
his forgiveness, and second I started to include him in the Mass; whenever I celebrate Mass alone
I use the Roman Canon and when I say ‘...Lino, Cleto, Clemente ...’ I started to include
Josemaría, I do not know if it is liturgical or not ...”
The rest is part of Bergoglio's history...
Bergoglio was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969.
From 1973 to 1979 was Argentina's provincial superior of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits).
(he was on stand-by from from 1979 to 1992)

[Bergoglio challenged Escrivá: “If you are holy, take me out of this well, out of this hole.” and next morning...]
Auxiliary Bishop of Buenos Aires (1992-1997)
He became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was created a cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II.
Almost elected Pope in 2005 but through through Grace of God he was not.
Finally elected Pope in 2013 after the mysterious resignation of Benedict XVI.

An that, brothers and sisters, is how satan fast tracks whomever he needs to use (from an obscure auxiliary Bishop —from an almost Third World country— to almost the Chair of Peter in 13 years!) That is, if God allows it... which He did.
Do notice that just as God kept Clinton in office for two terms (8 years) —against all odds— to delay the Globalization effort, He also kept Bergoglio away from the the Chair of Peter for eight years by placing Ratzinger on it. When the eight years were finished, Ratzinger resigned.
Eight years in two very related cases... a coincidence? Hardly! If Bergoglio had assumed the Chair of Peter in the year 2005 — not even the Elect could be saved at the End.

Caiphas, Annas – Francis and Benedict XVI
FROM OUR FILES: August 14, 2021
Did you know that...?
At Jesus' First Coming there were, technically, two high priests: Caiphas, who held the office nominally, and his father-in-law Annas, who had previously been high priest and was still a very influential person (1). Using today's language, one would say that Annas was the “high priest emeritus”.
As we know from the Gospel accounts, although Caiphas was the nominal high priest, the influence of Annas over him and the Sanhedrin was so great that Jesus, after being taken prisoner, was sent first to Annas, and only later to Caiphas (2).
Now, two thousand years later, we have, technically, two “supreme pontiffs” as the visible head of the Temple Masters of today: Francis, who holds the office nominally, and the “Pope Emeritus” Benedict XVI, who has not ceased to have influence over Francis and the Vatican despite resigning from office, an influence demonstrated by the fact that he has not retired to live outside the Vatican.
The parallel could not be more exact.
(1) So influential, up to the point of still being named
“high priest”, as we read in Luke 3:2:
“Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made
unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.”
(2) “Then the band and the tribune, and the servants
of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him. And they led him away to Annas first,
for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.”

Who really killed Jesus?
FROM OUR FILES: February 11, 2004
From NEWSWEEK Cover @ International
Q. Who really killed Jesus?
Newsweek
A. We are amazed that this question continues to circulate like an urban legend that will not go away.
The answer is simple and straightforward.
Pontius Pilate was manipulated by the Temple Masters to order the crucifixion of Jesus since the Jewish establishment did not have such authority.
Pilate was, indeed, an accessory to the crime; however, the fanatical Temple Masters, which happened to be Jews just like Jesus, Mary, John, Judas, etc., etc., were the ones who caused His crucifixion.
This is explained as clear as daylight in the New Testament, with the exception that the New Testament was written with an anti Semitic slant by not differentiating the Jewish fanatical Temple Masters from the general Jewish population.
The Jews did not crucify Jesus – the fanatics did!
Come on, folks – is this so difficult to understand?
