Bannon called it for Prevost live on Piers Morgan ten days before the conclave

“I said the possible unexpected winner would be Prevost ten days earlier on Piers Morgan’s show. I did my research. No one in the betting circles or in the mainstream media was talking about him. But behind the scenes, there was talk of nothing else. They had two problems that he solves. First, they needed to find someone more organized but ideologically aligned with Francis to finish Bergoglio’s radical reimagining of the Church that has abandoned the Latin Mass and traditional pre-Vatican II Catholicism. Second, since MAGA -traditionalist Catholics have been able to cause such a stir in recent years, the flow of donations from the United States has fallen by almost 50%. The Vatican is not in danger of bankruptcy because it has resources, but it has a flow of donations problem, mainly because of the collapse of funding from the US Church and especially from big donors, like the Papal Foundation. Prevost is perfect. He is American but not too much ; he was born in America, but he is more Peruvian, he is close to Liberation Theology. Bergoglio created and selected him for this position. He has been a cardinal for only two years. He put him in charge of the powerful dicastery of bishops to make him known. An American was needed for donors to have access — so they can have their awards, dinners and papal blessings — and for donations to increase, but the American cardinals said in a press conference that he is the least American of them. His brother told the Daily Mail that they had discussed the name Leone before the conclave began. It is impossible for a virtually unknown American archbishop who has spent most of his life in Peru and has been a cardinal for less than two years to come to a conclave and win in the fourth ballot. It was Bergoglio’s globalist Curia. This election is completely rigged . Some Maga Catholics say he met with Cardinal Burke and said he loves the Latin Mass and everything will be fine, but that is not true at all.”

Afternoon respite: Woke Snow White DIEs even harder the second time around

by Will Jones

Not content with the new Snow White bombing in March, Disney decided to release it again in the US last week, only for it to bomb even worse than the first time and take just $252 per screen. The Telegraph‘s Ed Power has more.

Hi-ho, it’s back to the cinema for Disney’s flop live-action Snow White. Having originally crashed and burned in March, the movie misfired all over again after the House of Mouse re-released it in the US last week. Talk about putting the ‘grim’ in Grimm Fairy Tale.

Disney’s apparent calculation was that that the advent of summer blockbuster season could give this dead-on-arrival feature a new lease of life. You can sort of appreciate the logic: after all, May saw the ailing Marvel Cinematic Universe return from purgatory when Thunderbolts proved a surprise hit.

Where a caped crusader can go, surely Snow White and her terrifying CGI dwarf friends could follow? Who, moreover, wouldn’t want to hear Gal Gadot ham her way through the dreadful ‘All Is Fair’ one last time? A sort of evil twin of Frozen’s ‘Let It Go’, the tune has acquired a cult fanbase on social media, where people are intoxicated by its sheer ‘how did this get made?’ awfulness.

Sadly for Disney, such logic did not long survive contact with reality. Incredibly, the second coming of Snow White was an even bigger disaster than the original run. Unleashed on an unsuspecting 1,000 cinemas across the US, the Rachel Zegler v Gal Gadot calamity brought in a pitiful $252 per screen. To date, the remake has cost Disney an estimated $115 million – much of the cost eaten up for by the bizarre decision to have Zegler act opposite CGI dwarfs straight from the Uncanny Valley.

A meeting with James Martin and Austen Ivereigh that revealed their papal candidate

Rome. The Eternal City is buzzing with anticipation these days ahead of the conclave. The corridors, cafes, and restaurants near the Vatican are a hive of activity with cardinals, journalists, clerics, and opinion-makers of all stripes. We, too, have been strolling through the city, encountering quite a few familiar faces.

But if there’s one meeting we won’t forget, it was this afternoon. Walking around the outskirts of Borgo Pio, I met none other than the Jesuit James Martin and the British native Austin Ivereigh, two of the greatest enthusiasts of Francis’s pontificate and tireless defenders of the synodal line, inclusive and conciliatory… at least on paper.

Upon seeing them, my friend and companion on this trip wanted to greet them, and we introduced ourselves: “We’re from InfoVaticana.” The reaction was instantaneous and, frankly, revealing. James Martin, the author of “Building Bridges,” that book that boasts of building bridges between the Church and the peripheries, chose to turn away and turn his back on us without saying a word. No dialogue, no bridges, no greeting. A pure wall. How significant. We must not be their type.

Austin Ivereigh, for his part, did speak to us… although perhaps he would have preferred not to. Visibly annoyed—and increasingly so as the conversation progressed—he stood up, approached us, and vehemently reproached us for the “campaign” we, according to him, were waging against Cardinal Robert Prevost. “The campaign you’re waging against Prevost is very interesting,” he said, his tone a mixture of anger and frustration.

When we replied, “No, not against Prevost; against the culture of cover-up in the Church, which you’re now in favor of?” the discomfort was palpable. Nervous, Ivereigh mentioned a Sodalitium as the supposed source of the information, and when we explained that there are many cases, all documented, he insisted, ironically, that InfoVaticana “always has more,” referring to the documents we’ve been publishing on the case. His reaction left no room for doubt: Prevost was their man, the candidate on whom they had pinned all their hopes.

The scene couldn’t have been more illustrative. Just hours before the conclave begins, the coup plotters are nervous. And not because someone is defaming Prevost, but because the truth is coming out. Because the documents, the testimonies, and the omissions are there, documented and published. And more are coming.

It’s revealing: the same environment that demands synodality, transparency, and bridges of dialogue cannot bear to shed light on the dark sides of its protégés. For some, the culture of concealment is not a past to be overcome, but a strategy they still try to maintain.

At InfoVaticana, we will continue doing what we’ve always done: telling what others prefer to keep quiet. Because if today’s meeting has demonstrated anything, it’s that there are those who fear, and are very much so, that we will continue to tell more.

Presumptive Pope pledges “complete commitment” to Vatican II, and praises the antimagisterium of Bergoglio

(Correction, an earlier version of this post incorrectly asserted that he was wearing the antichrist cross… several readers pointed out that my eyes aren’t very good this morning: It is in fact a proper crucifix. -nvp)

“…I would like us to renew together today our complete commitment to the path that the universal Church has now followed for decades in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. Pope Francis masterfully and concretely set it forth in the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, from which I would like to highlight several fundamental points: the return to the primacy of Christ in proclamation (cf. No. 11); the missionary conversion of the entire Christian community (cf. No. 9); growth in collegiality and synodality (cf. No. 33); attention to the sensus fidei (cf. Nos. 119-120), especially in its most authentic and inclusive forms, such as popular piety (cf. No. 123); loving care for the least and the rejected (cf. No. 53); courageous and trusting dialogue with the contemporary world in its various components and realities (cf. No. 84; Second Vatican Council, Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes, 1-2). These are evangelical principles that have always inspired and guided the life and activity of God’s Family. In these values, the merciful face of the Father has been revealed and continues to be revealed in his incarnate Son, the ultimate hope of all who sincerely seek truth, justice, peace and fraternity (cf. Benedict XVI, Spe Salvi, 2; Francis, Spes Non Confundit, 3).”

Too good not to share – TLM at Mary Major

(When I heard about this yesterday, a TLM at Mary Major, I had assumed it happened at a side altar. NOPE. High Altar and full glory, courtesy ICKSP! In the video below, you can watch the procession, with the light of Bergoglio’s latrine-tomb in the background. Enjoy. -nvp)


Francis Witnesses the Traditional Mass in Saint Mary Major

 The Jubilee Pilgrimage of the Institute of Christ the King had a celebratory Traditional Mass in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major this week.

In the video below (tip: Una Voce Sevilla, Spain), that lighted spot in the background is the recently opened tomb of Francis, which was put in the place of a magnificent early 17th-century baroque  wall ands doorway, decorated with the most beautiful stone, destroyed and demolished to accomodate the enormous humility of the humble pontiff.

Anyway, the Mass is still here.

True Pope? Here is a great way to find out, in short order…

(Regardless of any past irregularities, Pope Prevost, if truly Pope, now enjoys the supernatural protection of the Petrine Promises. The heresies in Amoris, and the heresy of Synodality, must be addressed. So let us converge these two realities and find out who’s who and what’s what. -nvp)


Here’s an idea to bring about healing and peace: Let the “Dubia Cardinals” re-submit the 2016 Dubia (Amoris) and 2023 Dubia (Synodality)

Posted on  by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

One of the things that a new Pope has to do, is tie up the loose ends left by his predecessor.

There are no ends looser that one can imagine that the DUBIA about Amoris laetitia submitted in 2016 to Francis by the “Four Dubia Cardinals” (Burke, Brandmüller, Caffarra+,  Meisner+).

There were also dubia submitted in 2023 about synodality by five Cardinals (Brandmüller, Sarah, Sandoval Íñiguez, Burke, and Zen).

Resubmit the dubia Leo when things settle down.

This could be a foundational moment of healing at the beginning of a new Pontificate as well as a gesture of continuity with the last years out of which those sets of – serious! – questions were submitted by serious and highly credentialed men of the Church, Cardinals, fulfilling their duty to advise the Pope.

It might not be the best timing to resubmit these before the ink on Leo’s first signature is dry, but sometime soon when things are settling down, they could ask for the healing gesture of clarifications to their questions.

Responses could be a great consolation for a lot of people who have struggled in confusion about the Church’s teachings on some matters.

Some might argue that resubmitting the dubia would make him defensive.  I think it depends on how they are resubmitted and in what moment.

My attitude is the same as a week ago: Let’s see what happens

For starters, he certainly knows how to dress the part. I will take that as a win right off the bat. He’s not Parolin, Tagle, McElroy or Cupich, so there’s that. His opening remarks referenced God and being missionaries of Christ. Is he for open borders? Of course he is.

Was there a coordinated campaign by liberal media outlets to get him in the Seat? It sure looks like it. Does that mean he isn’t Pope because the rules were broken? No, that is not what that means.

Look. If this man is a True Pope, the Holy Ghost is in charge now. Let’s give Him some time. It won’t take long.
