Elizabeth Yore, an attorney affiliated with the Heartland Institute, wrote an article that was occasioned by some proceeds of the wikileaks data dump. In the information was also details of plans to leverage Pope Francis' influence to sway the presidential election to Hillary Clinton. Through his Open Society Institute, Soros planned to grant $650 billion to PICO and Faith in Public Life to engage the bishops regarding "income inequality": that is, apologetics for socialism. Yore's article appears in the Remnant and on LifeSiteNews we see more details.
Yore mentioned that in 2015 both Vatican officials (Cardinal Maradiaga key among them) and Soros personnel collaborated on an Apostolic Exhortation on Climate Change and backing for the Paris Climate Treaty. I wrote a bit about that at the time, noting the progressives that were wined and dined at the Vatican; see this anthology of posts. In that first post I wrote, "I would like to think that the Vatican is just being naive and easily led when it comes to climate change. However, I now believe there are powerful forces within the Vatican - the same ones controlling the USCCB - that are pulling puppet strings and doing their utmost to promote progressive agendas upon the whole world." Now we know, and it makes perfect sense. In USANews, we find remarks that Soros made about himself, remarks that seem to be quite candid to say the least. He apparently holds himself to be some sort of "god" who controls Hillary and most likely the Vatican. Obviously he's got the "god" part wrong, but he does wield massive influence over the leftwing in this country and in the Vatican.
The realization of Soros' influence at the Vatican seems to put many things in a new light:
- The bizarre resignation of Pope Benedict XVI
- The personnel shake-ups at the Vatican: Burke out, the formation of this "gang of nine", with Soros ally Maradiaga at the helm
- The none-too-disguised manipulation of the two family sin-nods
Of course they may all just be coincidences. But there's so many of them - like so many dots out there just begging to be connected.
We must pray for our Church, and we must understand just what is happening to her in order to do so.
