Re: BREAKING - VATICAN IN CRISIS: Just Days before Electing New Pope, Britian's Cardinal O'Brien Resigns! Benedict Changes Conclave Rules
Chickens coming home to roost, everywhere.

I love coming here for the weirdos and nutters along with the conditioned and naive. For many years too. Guilty (sometimes) of trolling and baiting for fun. However!!!

Since late December, I have been astounded at the number of revelations and the sheer hypocricy being exposed all over the world, covering many central themes dear to GLP.

This time it is different. Instead of GLP being proactive and predictive, it has become reactive (shilling) and revelatory (told ya'll so).

This is new ground, a shift in the paradigm. What has been speculated is unfolding, the veil is slipping and the public being exposed to it like never before through a series of exposes.

Subtle but growing. There is a bye election in Eastleigh, in the UK. It is close. A scandal has broken out regarding the unappropriate behaviour of one of the managers linked to one of the parties.

Normally people would have taken sides. This time, people are sitting, blinking in the light. It has gone from 'Oh, what a coincidence' to 'yeah, right!'

Same as this escalating scandal. People are joining the dots everywhere so now I'm of the opinion that there are 'lightworkers'..okay, okay.. There is an organised body of like minded people working behind the scenes bringing the 'matrix' down.

Two things concern me. Backlash from the conspirators and destabilisation of society as the truth cascades forth from the dark corners.

Either way, TEOTWAWKI is coming. And it all seems to have escalated from late Dec 2012. Cue Twighlight Zone theme.. Maybe the Mayans got it right?

 Quoting: Rising Son


No, I am sure O'Brien was thrown off the ship. And I am not sure that he was a rat.

Maybe he was a strong candidate to win the conclave and Benedict wanted to prevent that.

With all the fancy language and stuff now, all that matters is winning the conclave.

I suspect Benedict is resigning now, while he still has most of his health. so he is in a position to influence the result of the conclave. This is an example. He made sure O'Brien would not be in the conclave and almost certainly could not win it.

That's an interesting assessment. Perhaps Benedict is feeling some remorse and guilt over stepping down, and wants to try his best at cleaning house before he does so. Of course, he could have done this before he decided to step down - there was plenty of time and he was the pope, the only question was how tightly sealed these 'secrets' of the Vatican corruption were.

Also, by allowing the conclave to start less than 15 days after he resigns, he gives less time for things to get out of his hands after he gives up formal power.

I have similar feelings about his resignation, before he's ever really done any serious housecleaning. He could have fired 10 cardinals, 100 bishops and 1000 priests to clean things up while he is Pope. Then he could have resigned and left a renewed ship for the next man.

Instead he fires almost nobody. O'Brien is definitely not the worst or only offender, so firing him does not count as "housecleaning". He chooses instead just to steer the selection of his successor. I will be watching for more evidence of such steering.

I just think he didn't want O'Brien or O'Brien's faction to win the conclave.

Let's not forget the American cardinals under severe pressure by the laity to recuse themselves from the papal election. I believe there are 3. The conclave is collapsing - I will bet there will be more to come.

I predict that Ratzinger will appoint his successor in an unprecedented move.

Thank you, and thank you for your prayers too. I dislike that all Catholic clergy are smeared because of the sexual abuse scandal. Most priests are good, upstanding men -- I heard a figure about a decade ago that the number of priests who were found guilty of sexual misconduct stood at 4%. That means 96% of priests are good people.

A lot of teachers get nailed for sexual stuff, yet all of them aren't smeared the same way. Why not? I don't know why people seem opposed to priests...probably because of the latent anti-Catholicism that pervades our society.

I am sure you can keep it under control. But for some people, an entire adult life with no girlfriends can probably create some big temptations.

People do turn gay in prison, but go straight again when released and the opposite sex is available. In RCC you're there for life.

I just think the vow of chastity creates a situation with many weird tendencies, and it's been proven to produce both homosexuality and pedophilia.

Thank you.
