In my opinion, none. <br />My explanation about the sudden change in the Pope's mind was the fear of a huge financial scandal splashing high ranked people both in the Order and in the Vatican, if the lawsuit against Mrs Ariana Slinger, the head of CPVGT, were not dropped by Festing.<br />An indeed they were dropped immediately once Festing had resigned. Festing obeyed because he didn't want to endorse the responsibility to have let bad guys entering the order and doing bad things in his back, unknowingly to him, the Grand Master.jachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650477732170495698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-2636623828027515602017-05-02T07:18:33.430-07:002017-05-02T07:18:33.430-07:00The knights of Malta have no effect on my life.The knights of Malta have no effect on my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-25310208223000149432017-05-01T11:15:16.132-07:002017-05-01T11:15:16.132-07:00It's only a mere question of dirty, dirty mone...It's only a mere question of dirty, dirty money, over 30/40 million euros now are in the right hands, oh yeah, the mercy church for the poor ones, isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-39783776961086339872017-05-01T09:40:44.680-07:002017-05-01T09:40:44.680-07:00Crisis in the SMOM ?

The pope then personally visited St. Louis. As a reward, Rigali was promoted to head the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.--------I have two emails from an influential individual in the Chancery. He verified that his boss, then Archbishop Burke, was removed under pressure from pro abortion Catholic politicians through Rigali and the new pope Benedict.-------The removal happened in 2008 and appears to be a "quid pro quo" in a deal made with the Democratic Party. This individual states that he was writing a book about his time working for Burke. There has been no book and this individual has been going up the ladder at one of the tv networks. It appears that in essence, he has been bought off. I still have the emails as proof.-----When Rigali went to Philly, he left his nun sister behind (Sr. Charlotte Rigali) at the chancery to file reports on Burke. The issue is not the personality of Burke which has been characterized as antagonistic. The issue is the truth.-----I attended the farewell Mass at the St. Louis Cathedral. The woman head of media for the archdiocese, a woman police major, and another major woman archdiocesan figure were cackling and all but hi fiving as Burke led his entourage into the Cathedral. He was being watched "big time".------I was then afforded a supernatural event which verifies my version of events. I have a Jesuit college degree followed by two Master's degrees. I am also a four year military veteran. I also studied two years of college for the priesthood.----There is no previous or post history of histrionics.JBQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344181644293746758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-70392670865555869642017-04-29T16:45:54.103-07:002017-04-29T16:45:54.103-07:00Looks like there were some ballots left over from ...Looks like there were some ballots left over from the last conclave.JayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114240898672570041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-48595435551628058992017-04-29T16:25:35.162-07:002017-04-29T16:25:35.162-07:00Was he "thrown out of St. Louis"?
