Leukemia?
[link to www.spiritdaily.com]

"Leukemia?""There are also rampant rumors that the pope’s health is far worse than anyone realizes. Whispers of late-night helicopter trips to emergency rooms and hints that he is suffering some terminal illness like leukemia pushed forward by Italian gossip site Dagospia are unconfirmed, but still won’t go away. Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi begins each press briefing with a list of untruths he has read in the press, effectively spinning the stories back under Vatican control."

My guess is poison. That is the Roman way.

Fatima back in the news,
The Lord is calling me to “scale the mountain,”

Vision of Fatima- Pope climbing the mountain where he suffers martyrdom.

Monaco?
Which way on the pendulum does Monaco swing? That one is tough to figure. Once upon a time but now? Oh Prince, will you shelter Peter when he flees? Or will that door be closed or will you be like Nicodemus at night? Pope Benedict visited Monaco for a reason the first in centuries. Everything he did was heavily calculated.

Reiterate "Benedict the Reformer"

“This Pope has removed two or three bishops per month throughout the world because either the accounts in their dioceses were a mess or their discipline was a disaster,” said Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendia during a Feb. 20 address at the University of San Pablo in Madrid.

“The nuncio went to these bishops and said, ‘The Holy Father is asking you for the good of the Church to resign from your post.’”

Re: BREAKING - Pope Benedict resigned due to blackmail, Vatican gay sex ring, corruption revealed-huge conspiracy
February 25, 2013, Monday -- New Rules





The second thing that happened today was that the Vatican released revisions to the rules governing papal conclaves.



The main point of these revisions was to allow the cardinals to start the Conclave earlier, if they wish to.



According to the old rules, the Conclave needed to begin not earlier than 15 days and not later than 20 days after the death of the Pope.



The new rules allow the cardinals to vote on the first day after the vacancy begins to begin the Conclave whenever they wish.



The reason for the rule change is that there is no papal funeral, which normally would require nine days.



Theoretically, the cardinals could actually vote to begin their Conclave almost immediately, even on March 2, that is, on Saturday. That woiuld be a stunning decision, and is not expected. It is widely expected that they vote to begin the Conclave on or about March 10.



It now appears that those who would like a quick Conclave are those who more closely associated with the Curia. At first, there seemed to be no desire on the part of the cardinals to delay the Conclave, so the consensus seemed to be to vote to begin by March 10 or so. However, recently, following remarks by several cardinals expressing a wish to have "enough time" to consider everything prayerfully, there seems to be emerging an idea that perhaps delaying the Conclave to the 15th, or even later, would not be a bad idea.



It appears that, if one or more cardinals would wish to delay the Conclave, they could do so by not attending the first few sessions, on March 1 and following days, since this document, accodrding to the letter of its text, seems to say that a vote to bring the Conclave forward to an earlier date cannot be taken unless all the voting cardinals are present.



So by staying away, one cardinal could prevent the election from being scheduled earlier than March 15 -- it would seem.



The relevant paragraph is No. 37: "the College of Cardinals is also granted the faculty to anticipate the beginning of the Conclave if all the Cardinal electors are present as well as the faculty to defer, for serious reasons, the beginning of the election for a few additional days."



Another change in the rules is a much stricter policy regarding secrecy. Any violation of the secrecy of the Conclave is now punished by automatic excommunication from the Church.



A third change is that the election must be by a two-thirds margin, even after many, many votes. In the old rules, written under Pope John Paul II, after 34 votes, the rules allowed for two candidates to be "finalists" and then for one to be elected by a simple majority.



This means that the next Pope must, before being elected, gather around him a consensus of at least 2/3s of all the voting cardinals.



There is another change here mandated in the Conclave process. In the press conference about the norms of the (now superseded) Apostolic Constitution Universi Gregis Dominici two days ago, the Secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Interpretation of Legislative Texts was asked: "After so many votes, there is a run-off between two cardinals only, the two highest vote-getters in the preceding vote. They themselves do not vote, but the required 2/3 of the remaining Cardinals is still required for election. What happens if neither cardinal gathers the support of 2/3 of the electors in this run-off vote?"



The bishop secretary answered that, in his opinion, to break the deadlock, everything would start all over again, with everybody becoming eligible again.



With this Motu Proprio, Pope Benedict decided otherwise. If the run-off takes place, then in all subsequent votes the same two people will continue being the only ones capable of being chosen, until someone among them receives 2/3 of the votes.

“Cast it into the fire!”

—From J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, the words of Elrond in the heart of Mount Doom, as he urges Isildur to throw the ring of power into the fire from which it was forged, the one place where it can be destroyed. But the ring whispers to Isildur, and he does not destroy it. Recalling that moment, Elrond says: “It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. Isildur kept the Ring.” Then he adds: “The line of kings is broken. There is no strength left in the world of Men. They’re scattered, divided, leaderless.” Then Gandalf says: “There is one who could unite them, one who could reclaim the throne…”

On Thursday, February 28, three hours before his pontificate ends, Pope Benedict will lift off in a helicopter from the highest point in the Vatican gardens and fly to the papal summer villa at Castel Gandolfo.
Pope Benedict XVI's ring carries the inscription “Benedictus XVI” — the Pope’s official title in Latin.

Pope Benedict XVI’s ring carries the inscription “Benedictus XVI” — the Pope’s official title in Latin.

Then, at 8 p.m. on February 28 — the exact moment Pope Benedict has said he will cease being Pope — the Swiss Guards stationed at the main doors of the papal villa at Castel Gandolfo will withdraw and close the doors,

Mahony is already there, to the chagrin of many Catholics and Cardinals. The Roman See really don't want him to be there.

John Thavis author of Vatican Diaries is interviewed by NPR

On the "Italian way" of doing things at the Vatican

"For an Italian business operation, perhaps awarding contracts to your friends in the industry is not an unusual thing. It shouldn't really be happening at the Vatican. ... In the Vatican, people get jobs by being recommandato, right? They need somebody's connection to get the job. If you want a parking place, you need to go through these connections. Almost everything done at the Vatican is through connections. So when we talk about corruption, it's often this very petty kind of corruption that, as I say, is part of the process of living in Italy. And yet people are questioning, 'Should it be part of the process of operations at the Vatican?' "

The Prophecies finally make sense. The Bishop in white (Benedict) and the Pope that is driven out of Rome.

We puzzled over how the Bishop in White (Benedict) is shot in Rome and at the same time many prophecies pointing to the Pope fleeing from Rome (Peter the Roman). The gap is now filled.

Bring on the Prophecies.

When I was 16 (I'm 61 now), I had a very vivid dream of St. Peter's Basilica with a huge mushroom cloud behind it. I remember the details very clearly. At the time I was horrified (practicing RC then). Now,.... not so much.

Christopher Manion in Crisis Magazine reports that in 2012 Benedict "promulgated Intima Ecclesiae Natura, a law whose consequences will have a serious and lasting impact, especially in the United States." He is referring to the Motu Propio that LifeSite News extensively reported on. Manion says,

In the next twenty years, we will witness one of the biggest shifts in Church’s educational and charitable activities. When Intima Ecclesiae Natura, is fully implemented, the Church will have to sever its ties with an increasingly hostile, even hedonistic, secular government, and cease accepting government funding for its charities, its educational institutions, and its hospitals. The results will be revolutionary—and liberating.

From rorate caeli, Gus wrote

"The Third Fatima Secret speaks of the outrage against the 'bishop in white' happening on a hill or a mountain.

In the Pope's recent sermon on the Transfiguration, as reported on this website, the Pope said, "The Lord is calling me to 'climb the mountain'..."

Is our dear Papa keeping a papal name (Pontifex Emeritus), wearing white, and claiming a move up the mountain, to take it upon himself to fulfill the prophecy, in order to spare his successor the horror that prophecy describes!"

Matt remarked,


"Archbishop Gänswein will move with Pope Benedict XVI when he retires on Feb. 28, but he also intends to retain his role as head of the Pontifical Household."

Curious he intends. The Prefect of The Papal Household serves at the Pope's pleasure as it is an appointed position and technically disappears when the reigning Pope does also. Who's to say the succeeding Pope wants to keep him there? Could it be Gänswein has a clue-in on something. Interesting."
