Today a couple of words about “THE PLAN”.
As my loyal and long time reader know, your humble blogger does not “take positions”. What your humble blogger does is OBSERVE.
So here is what your humble blogger has been OBSERVING lately.
First, how does one approach this recent Filial Correction?
Many words are being written and spoken lately. On the one hand, we have what I will call the MUNDABOR position. (see here) This position can be summarized as follows:
I find it, therefore, not credible to theorise that this is a sort of 3D chess exercise, in which the same people (Ed. note: Cardinals and Bishops) who were cowardly silent for one year and a half would concoct an elaborate strategy based on them not doing their job, the laity doing their job for them and they finally intervening when even my cat has understood what useless tool they are.
Yet, over at the Rorate Caeli blog, we get this counter-point:
RORATE Note: There will many Catholics, even traditionalists, whose first defeatist reaction will be to belittle this effort. But the wise, the learned in history, will understand that this is just the first part, the first piece of the puzzle, with next steps still to come in a long and extended process.
So we have two very credible sources, and two very credible positions, albeit contradictory.
So which one is the correct position?
Given that we know from yesterday’s post that there can only be ONE CORRECT ANSWER.
And the answer of your must humble blogger is: I DON’T KNOW.
So what do we do?
Well, first we identify the Known Knows:
- According to Edward Pentin, there is “a plan”. Here is one such example from the 16th of March of this year supporting the Rorate Caeli position:
- There is a wide spread atmosphere of “FEAR” behind the Sacred Vatican Walls. Here is Fr. Hunwicke with this confirmation, which incidentally supports the MUNDABOR position:
“There is another territory to be heard; the diocesan clergy, and I can testify to the fear out there. I feel it myself; … I entered the diocesan priesthood from Lutheranism … my decision to sign may come with danger … Unfortunately, we live in times of great venality and danger for those who just express simple orthodoxy. Going this next step is necessary but fraught with peril. Cosmas and Damian, Cyprian and Justina, pray for our courage.”
Aside, scared, frightened, effeminate men don’t do plans.
3. According to Michael Matt though, there in fact is “a Plan”.
Which brings me to another INDEPENDENT, yet possibly RELATED piece of new information in the above video. In this video, Michael Matt cites Antonio Socci and puts out into the public domain that Francis, the bishop of Rome is thinking about “neutralizing” or eliminating the College of Cardinals altogether. This is being thought through in order to allow Francis, the bishop of Rome to appoint his successor. (see here)
Aside, guess who the most likely Dauphin of Rome is?
Here are some hints taken from my Twitter timeline that popped up within the last 30 or so minutes:
… and
… and
… and
… and
… and finally, this one which almost made me cry.
OK, so the Catholic News Service beat me to the crying part. Never mind.
Anyways…
Before I go on, I would just like to draw your attention to these posts here and here which will provide some background and CONTEXT to the above pictures.
Next INDEPENDENT, yet possibly related piece of information is this one here. According to ZeroHedge, the reason why voters in Sunday’s German general election voted the way they did is as follows:
The main headline from the German election yesterday is not Angela Merkel getting a fourth term in charge, but rather her party’s weakened position – caused chiefly by a surge in support for the right wing nationalist party ‘Alternative für Deutschland’ (AfD).
The AfD is a controversial party – one which not only ran on a program of anti-immigration and anti-Muslim policies, but one which is at least in part represented by people who have expressed racist and xenophobic views.
Nevertheless, provisional results indicate that the party has received 12.6 percent of the total vote, making it the third strongest in the country.
Why then did this happen? As Statista’s Martin Armstrong shows in the infographic below, AfD voters were primarily motivated by fears of terrorism, fears of crime and dissatisfaction with the influx of asylum seekers into Germany since the 2015 crisis.
You will find more statistics at Statista
Perhaps key to understanding the lurch to the right is the indication that the majority of AfD voters say they made their decision not based on belief in the party, but rather as a reaction to their disappointment in the other parties.
Yet Francis’ next great populist idea is, you guessed it: (see here)
And guess who Francis put in charge of this “brilliant” initiative?
Yep, non other then our “disposable” Cardinal Tagle.
So how does all the above tie in together?
Well, quite possibly through what we call the Soap Bubble Papacy. For the new readers, see here.
As to the current state of the Soap Bubble Papacy, here is the relevant tweet:
What appears to be the case is that the final “shine off the FrancisBloom” moment, as it relates to the Fake News Media, could have come with the protecting of the alleged pedophile cleric, that the FrancisHomoMafia spirited away from the Vatican’s US Nunciature and back to the safe house friendly confines of the Vatican. (possibly here)
Here is a screenshot that I just couldn’t pass up posting: (see here)
I agreed to be spokesman or media contact for the Correctio Filialis I didn’t realise quite was I was letting myself in for. I’ve now lost count of the number of telephone and email mini-interviews I’ve done, and I don’t have time to keep track on the number of reports online which have resulted from these.
This could have been a nightmare, but it’s not at all. The journalists have been polite and professional. (Associated Press was a teeny bit naughty breaking the media embargo, but it was only by an hour or two.) And all things considered, we are getting amazingly favourable coverage in Catholic and non-Catholic sources.
Hmmm….
That’s odd.
But that’s not all. Take a look at this:
So now we have a story from CNN which is really very balanced, even favourable to us.
Concluding, what we most likely have is what is known in the public relation business as a “branding problem”.
For all the FrancisNovelty that was introduced to get on the right side of Fake News Media and their paymasters over at the Internationalist Left, i.e. the Globalists, FrancisChurch has now destroyed the FrancisBrand.
The way in which FrancisChurch destroyed the brand is through the recurring stories appearing in the headlines across the global news agencies about “pedophile priests”. The story that could have put the proverbial icing on the cake was no doubt the story at the US Nunciature. What most likely has happened is that the Fake News Media are distancing themselves from TeamFrancis.
Furthermore, seeing the tide turning on the acceptance of the human trafficking and warehousing industry by the local populations in various countries, the Fake News Media is beginning to shy away from actively promoting these sorts of initiatives. And by extension, the folks behind them.
Aside, it has gotten so bad that the Euroland politicians have stopped mandatory allocations to member states just yesterday. (see here) Talk about being on the wrong side of that curve!
Given the above, what could have happened is that mainstay of FrancisChurch, or what we call the Fake News Media inflated Soap Bubble Papacy™ , has become deflated since the Fake News Media has stopped actively promoting it.
This in turn has tipped the playing field back to being more level (or less skewed depending on how one looks at it), which in turn has allowed the Filial Correction to be widely disseminated in a less hostile environment.
And in a less hostile manner.
It has also opened up the door for the Cardinals and Bishops to execute their Plan, provided that they have one. And if there is a plan, will stand a better chance of succeeding that we all suspect.
And they might not have a better time than now… (see here)
Which could be the reason behind Jesus II Francis and TeamFrancis rummaging through the Canon Law of the Catholic Church to find a way to disband the College of Cardinals and the Curia so as to not so much secure a FrancisSuccessor, but to keep themselves in power. (see here)
They have a station in life and a level of comfort that they have grown accustomed to, you know?
Mark Thomas said:
“So we have two very credible sources…”
Mundabor, who has trafficked in lie after lie about His Holiness Pope Francis, as well as additional Churchmen, is a “credible” source? Rorate Caeli, who has been caught having promoted one fake news story after another, is a credible source?
I don’t think so.
However, I will say one thing positive about Mundabor: Mundabor, to his or her credit, rejects one bizarre right-wing conspiracy theory after another. The Catholic right-wing, by and large, and to its embarrassment, accepts one bizarre conspiracy theory after another.
Conversely, Mundabor rejects conspiracy theories.
Mundabor has smashed, for example, right-wing conspiracy theories concocted to “prove” that Pope Benedict XVI is the “real” Pope. Mundabor doesn’t tolerate such nonsense.
Other than having destroyed bizarre right-wing conspiracy theories, Mundabor, sadly, has trafficked repeatedly in fake news stories.
Pax.

1. I have long thought that the *only* way to really discredit Francis and his pontificate among the wider Catholic (and non-Catholic) public would be through a direct eruption of The Scandal – the one malady to which even the Church Progressive has no real auto-immune defense any longer.
Which does make me wonder how deeply Those Who Can Dig have really dug into Papa Bergoglio’s full history in Argentina on this score.
2. It has long been obvious that there is a real effort to move Cardinal Tagle into papabile pole position. He is certainly on the short list now. And yet, that is part of his problem, or at least so I am credibly informed by someone in Vatican diplomatic circles: there’s some real resentment of the blatant nature of the campaign for Tagle, not least because Tagle himself seems to be party to it.
Add to that another great disability: Tagle is very young (60). His election would set up another quarter century long pontificate, and cardinals (of whatever stripe) are generally reluctant to eliminate the possibility that they would get another conclave to vote in, especially if they get buyer’s remorse. Which some now have.
I think Hilary White is in the right of it: The man to keep an eye on now is Cardinal Parolin, who is quietly building up a credible profile as a Francis successor – a progressive (but not too progressive), with more discipline and less drama. His youth is also a disability (he is 62), but a tad less so than the younger Tagle.
In the alternative, if a long pontificate is too off-putting, the cardinals may look for an elderly non-controversial caretaker with more of a track record of predictability.

The Cardinals can decide at some future point, when the College has been disbanded and they are made more irrelevant than they already are, that the abdication of Benedict did not take, and he is still pope. Then Jorge can go back to Argentina, or switch places and go into Castel Gandolfo, or find digs with any number of his new found friends.

Are the two necessarily contradictory? Could there have been a game plan that did not necessarily include the Filial Correction, but it came along as a beneficial “call” that now can be adapted into the overall game plan?

I don’t sense that Rorate Caeli was implying there is a formal plan. Just that however any restoration eventually plays out – and it may take a long time – the Filial Correction will be seen in retrospect as being just one more (but essential) brick in the wall.

I guess it all depends on what one calls “a plan”. What I think is happening is that many, many scholars are going over the history books, especially Ballermine, and trying to get a handle about how to proceed.
What this process is leading to is a concensus of how to go forward. So Card. Burke, Sarah, etc, have been traveling throughout the Catholic Bishops’ Confernences and coordinating the future course of action.
So in formal terms, no plan. Yet process clearly indicates that there is a plan.

It’s like with heresy. There is formal and material. So no formal plan, but materially, yes.
