Big changes are coming to the Vatican, and therefore to world politics – Pope Francis has died

Big changes are coming to the Vatican, and therefore to world politics – Pope Francis has died.

According to the protocol, representatives of religious denominations and public organizations, government officials and politicians express condolences. But lamentations in a number of domestic media under the slogan:
“Pope Francis was a messenger of hope and reconciliation, always ready to come to the aid of the most vulnerable”

By the way

On April 20, 2025, Klaus Schwab officially stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum…

Only the truth about the dead

The election of Francis was the result of a long and difficult struggle for influence in the Vatican and for control over its financial flows. It is significant that Bergoglio was not among the favorites of the conclave in 2013, but in the 2005 elections he was second after Joseph Ratzinger, who then became Benedict XVI. Indirect confirmation that the question of the new Pope was decided in advance was the record-breaking short duration of the conclave – only two days.

The figure of Francis is interesting for a number of reasons. I will highlight some.

Origin

Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Francis I) was born on December 17, 1936 in Buenos Aires to a family of Italian immigrants. After studying at the Villa Devoto Seminary in the capital, he entered the Jesuit monastic order in 1958, and studied humanities as a novice in Chile. He then studied at the College of St. Joseph in Buenos Aires, where he received a licentiate in philosophy and taught it at Catholic colleges in the capital of Argentina.
On December 13, 1969, Bergoglio was ordained a priest and appointed professor of the theological faculty at the San Miguel College in the capital.
From 1973 to 1979, he was the provincial of Argentina. From 1980 to 1986, he was the rector of the Seminary of St. Joseph.
After defending his doctoral dissertation in Germany, Bergoglio served in the Archdiocese of Cordoba (Argentina). On May 20, 1992, he was appointed bishop, and six years later – archbishop of Buenos Aires. On February 21, 2001, Pope John Paul II elevated Bergoglio to the cardinalate. As a cardinal, Bergoglio was a member of the Congregations (monastic association) for the Clergy; Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments; Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, the Commission for Latin America and the Pontifical Council for the Family.
So, the figure of Francis unites Europe, or more precisely Italy (by origin), Germany (by ties with people from this country) and LA. At first glance, the choice of a Latin American, but with Italian roots, indicates that in the context of a sharp decline in the importance of Catholicism in Europe, the weight of Latin American Catholicism is gaining strength. Today, more than 45% of those professing Catholicism live in Latin America, and only a quarter of Catholics live in Europe.
However, the process of displacement of Christian values ​​is happening everywhere. Argentina was the first in LA to proclaim complete freedom of religion and in July 2010 legalized same-sex marriages (in Mexico and Brazil, homosexuality had been legalized only in some states by that time). In general, according to experts, “the Vatican has not been an authority for Catholics in LA for a long time, and among Latin American youth, the Catholic Church currently enjoys no trust at all.” So, back in 2013, there were no illusions that Francis was able to “restore” Catholicism. His subsequent actions to legalize sodomy confirmed this. Francis I spoke three languages ​​fluently: Italian, Spanish and German. Apparently, he spoke Italian in his family and attended a German school. As is well known, after World War II, Argentina was the country that sheltered the largest number of people from Nazi Germany, who, in particular, created many schools where teaching was conducted in German. However, it is not only Bergoglio’s origins that deserve close attention.

The First Jesuit Pope

In 2013, for the first time in history, a member of the Jesuit Order became the head of the Vatican – the most powerful, active and well-structured Catholic organization, playing an extremely important role in the formation and reformatting of the consciousness of elite groups capable of managing processes at the regional and global levels. The mission of the Order has always been not only to control the Holy See and the decisions of the Pope, but also to penetrate both the organizations of other religious denominations and the government structures of various countries of the world. At the same time, perhaps the main difference between the Jesuits and other order structures is that they are quietly restructuring Catholic teaching in accordance with the dictates of the time and the implementation of the ultimate goal – the formation of a single world religion.
Let me remind you that the Jesuit Order was created in 1534, at the height of the Reformation, in fact, to save papal power. The Order stood out by adding a vow of unquestioning obedience and faithful service to the Pope to the usual three monastic vows. It has always been distinguished by the strictest paramilitary discipline, a polished management system and unquestioning submission to the authorities. It is no coincidence that the Superior General of the Order is called the General or the “Black Pope” (after the color of his cassock).
The Order initially concentrated its activities on three areas that determine its influence in the world: teaching, missionary work and confession. The Jesuits became famous and are still famous as teachers, missionaries and spiritual fathers, acting simultaneously as agents of the Vatican and the secret services. They developed a unique method of cultural adaptation and mimicry, allowing them to penetrate organizations of any religious denominations and adapt to any socio-political conditions.
It was the Jesuits who developed the most flexible methods of working with Orthodoxy. The French Jesuit Michael d’Erbigny, head of the ProRussia Commission, created in 1925 under the Congregation for the Eastern Church with the aim of training clergy for Soviet Russia, became famous in this field. Particular importance was attached to crypto-Catholicism – secret Catholicism. It was planned to elevate to the patriarchal throne in Russia a bishop who secretly converted to Catholicism and took the oath to the Pope. Crypto-Catholicism is convenient in that it does not require a formal break with the Orthodox Church. The priest continues to serve in an Orthodox church, quietly instilling sympathy for the Holy See and Catholic teaching among the parishioners. Cultural and moral mimicry served as the basis for the “famous” Jesuit morality, which allows for the arbitrary interpretation of basic religious and moral requirements, adaptation to the views and morals of people of any time and place, and justification of any immoral act. It is in the system of “moral theology” of the Jesuits, who educated entire generations of power groups, that one can find the origins of “double morality” and “double standards” that have become key principles of Western diplomacy. In addition, the Jesuits are allowed to lead a secular lifestyle, not advertise their affiliation with the Order, enjoy broad privileges, and be responsible only to the leadership of the Order. So they easily penetrate Masonic and other occult structures, as well as political and state structures.
However, the leading area of ​​activity of the Jesuits, who are rightfully considered the intellectual elite of the Vatican, was and remains education. Today, the Jesuits publish more than 1,100 journals and head 195 universities around the world. Understanding the importance of “soft power” allows the Jesuits to nominate their people to key positions in government structures in Europe and the United States.
Jesuit private higher education institutions have graduated such iconic figures in world politics as former CIA directors W. Casey and J.O. Brennan (Fordham University), J. Tenet (Georgetown University), R. Gates (Georgetown University), L. Edward Panetta (St. Clare University).
What first attracted attention in connection with the election of a Jesuit is the absolute obedience that each member of the order must follow.

The founder of the Order of Loyola in his “Spiritual Exercises” instructed:
“a subordinate must look upon his superior as upon Christ himself, he must obey his superior, like a corpse, which can be turned in all directions, like a stick, which obeys every movement, like a ball of wax, which can be modified and stretched in all directions.”

It is known that this Jesuit method of achieving complete submission of the individual aroused the greatest interest among the leaders of Nazi Germany. It was according to the principles of the Jesuit Order that Himmler built the SS organization, about whom Hitler not accidentally said: “I see in him our Ignatius Loyola.”
Incidentally, Francis made his first call to his friend and colleague – the head of the Jesuit Order Adolfo Nicolas. Moreover, he called the head of the Order personally, bypassing the secretary, and the press presented this fact as “evidence of Francis’s modesty,” who “decided to introduce simple, informal communication into everyday life.” This incident highlighted the rigid hierarchy of the Order. The fact is that, on the one hand, the General of the Order or the “Black Pope” reports directly to the pontiff. On the other hand, having become Pope, Bergoglio remained a member of the Order and, according to the Order’s charter, must continue to report to his General. A very ambiguous situation arose. Obviously, the independence of such a Pope was very relative. At the same time, in his person, the power of the Order and the power of the Church merged. Thus, in 2013, a natural question arose: “Who will rule – the “Black Pope” or the Pope?” Perhaps we will someday find out who has ruled the Vatican for the past 12 years.

The forces and interests behind the “voluntary” abdication of Benedict XVI

The election of Francis was directly linked to the “voluntary” abdication of Benedict XVI. It occurred after unprecedented pressure on Benedict from supranational financial structures planning a radical restructuring of the Vatican. The problems that exist both within the Church and around it are connected with the inability to resist the de-Christianization of Western society – a process that entails the loss of control over hundreds of millions of people – which in turn is determined by a serious crisis of the institution of papal authority itself. The media presented the Pope’s abdication as a banal resignation, while for the Vatican and the entire Catholic world this is an exceptional, extraordinary event. The muting of the abdication incident is yet another indirect confirmation of the intense struggle around the Holy See. In this struggle, at least two main camps can be identified.
Representatives of the first advocate turning the Church into an easily controlled mouthpiece of the “new world order”. The representatives of the second seek to preserve the exclusive nature of sacred power for the Holy See, a power that no other state has.

The power in the Vatican as an absolute theocratic monarchy is limited to the figure of the Pope, who unites in his person the Roman bishop, the secular monarch, and the sovereign of the city-state. So it is not at all easy to formally limit papal sovereignty. Therefore, what is happening today in the Church and around it should be viewed through the prism of the struggle for power – the sovereignty of the Pope. And since in the modern world sovereignty is directly related to finances, the most important goal of the transformers is the Vatican Bank, or more precisely, the transfer of the Vatican’s finances under the total control of the global banking system.

Let me remind you that the Vatican Bank or the Institute of Religious Affairs (IRA) is a dicastery (department) of the Roman Curia, which performs the functions of a bank, founded on June 27, 1942 by Pope Pius XII. The IRD was created to collect fees and manage resources belonging to religious agencies. According to its charter, the Institute allows corporations created for religious purposes to invest funds raised through their deposits confidentially and tax-free. In addition, information about the activities and financial situation of the IRD is practically not disclosed.
This is the most closed and untouchable structure of the Holy See. This “magic bank” is not subject to any ordinary financial law. Its employees cannot be questioned by law enforcement agencies or tax authorities. This unique bank says absolutely nothing about clients or their accounts, data is not processed here electronically and under no circumstances does the bank publish reports. In addition, this structure is not an official institution of the Vatican State, but the Pope’s bank.
The Pope is, in a sense, the only shareholder of this bank and completely controls it with the help of a commission of five cardinals. This is why, in the last years of Benedict XVI’s reign, unprecedented pressure was exerted on him, which began with the publication in 2009 of the revealing book by G. Nuzzi “OOO Vatican”, which for the first time revealed the secret schemes of transferring shadow money by the Vatican Bank. Then, for the first time, such a strict measure as the seizure of part of the funds was applied to the Bank, and a criminal case was opened against the director Ettore Gotti Tedeschi.
After this, the Holy See relies on “financial transparency”, begins to fight for inclusion in the FATF “white list”, adopts a law on combating money laundering of illegally obtained funds. And even turns to Moneyval – the Council of Europe Expert Group on the Evaluation of Measures to Combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing – with a request to recognize the Vatican Bank as a financial institution that complies with international standards.

However, the pressure on the IRA increased. In May 2012, an even more revealing study by Nuzzi, “His Holiness”, was published. The publication of this book, which the press secretary of the Holy See Federico Lombardi called “criminal”, and the scandal that erupted after it highlighted the Pope’s vulnerability to external forces. However, no one can say with 100% certainty what these forces are. Although there are versions about the coincidence of interests on this issue of the Rothschild and Rockefeller clans, who on May 30, 2012, concluded an agreement to merge part of their assets.
A.I. Fursov then assessed this deal as
“a concentration of capital and power on the eve of serious upheavals that go beyond finance and economics.” This is “not just survival in a crisis, as some people think, but a power-economic bid for dominance in the post-crisis and post-capitalist world. The unification of the capitals of R and R may be just the tip of the iceberg, the visible part of secret agreements in the struggle of some closed societies against others.”

In addition, behind the scandal “Vatiliks” that began in May 2012 was the head (until August 2012) of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the White House, Cass Sunstein, who was considered the main legal adviser to President Obama. “Vatiliks” was promoted according to the model of the “WikiLeaks” project, in the implementation of which Sunstein played an extremely important role. Then, in the promotion of the scandal “Vatiliks” the main perpetrator was presented as the papal valet Paolo Gabriele. Although the real organizers of this operation were specialized non-governmental organizations and media outlets associated with the US State Department.
The scandal itself was preceded by corresponding demonstrative actions. First, the Rockefeller financial holding J.P. Morgan in Milan closed the IRD account under the pretext of the lack of necessary information. Then, for the first time, the State Department included the Vatican in the list of countries vulnerable to money laundering.
As part of the same campaign, they also used the “gay scandal” in the Vatican, when the media disseminated information about a secret report to the Pope about the non-traditional sexual orientation of representatives of the highest Catholic leadership. However, the pontiff was already well informed about the “moral character” of the “holy fathers” and it was hardly possible to shock Benedict XVI with the moral decline of the highest clergy. However, it was precisely at that moment that it was necessary to raise a fuss in the media. It was then that the information war against the Vatican took on a comprehensive character and pursued a single goal – to prove the failure of the leadership of the Holy See and convince the flock of the need for radical changes in the Church itself. A number of experts say that one of the reasons for such an “attack” on the IRD is the Vatican’s support for the BRICS initiative to reorganize the global financial system, which would allow this bloc to create its own settlement system. I think this is a gross exaggeration of the role and importance of BRICS. There are more global interests associated with the IRA.

Vatican Finances and the Order of Malta

In January 2013, the final stage of the fight for the Vatican’s finances began. On January 1, the IRA suspended the processing of all bank card transactions and all electronic payments on the territory of the Vatican, again due to the Holy See’s failure to fully comply with international rules on combating money laundering. After this, leading experts in negotiation processes – the Knights of the Order of Malta – were involved in the operation.

Reference: The Order of Malta (MO) is a state entity with its own Constitution. It is one of the most influential Catholic orders, closely associated with the largest Masonic lodges. It has its own representative offices in various areas: trade, politics, the banking sector, the special services, the army, education, etc. Many knights of the MO are members of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Club, the Aspen Group, the Ivy League and other supranational shadow structures actively working for a new world order. Among the Knights of Malta are former CIA Director W. Casey and US Secretary of State A. Haig.

And here is an important detail. On February 9, celebrations in honor of the 900th anniversary of the order opened in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. More than a thousand knights and ladies arrived to receive the blessing of Benedict XVI.
The Pope spent several hours with the Maltese, and on February 11 he announced his abdication.
It can be assumed that Benedict XVI’s resignation is connected with the impossibility of continuing the course of maneuvering. This was becoming dangerous. It is enough to recall John Paul I, who began to reform financial structures and died 33 days after the beginning of his pontificate. By the way, the day after the announcement of his resignation, bank card transactions resumed in the Vatican. It should be noted that on February 15 (the very same day as the Order’s birthday), Benedict XVI made his last major decision: Ernst von Freiberg, a Maltese, German lawyer and financier, a specialist in mergers and acquisitions of financial businesses, was appointed the new director of the IRA. Given the importance and role of the Order of Malta, the appointment of von Freiberg as head of the IRA can be seen as preparing the ground for transferring the Vatican’s financial system under the direct control of global financial groups. Interestingly, Benedict XVI never met the new director, and his candidacy was proposed by the well-known international agency for the selection of top managers Spencer & Stuart, which is called “headhunters”.

The Roman See is a significant factor in global governance

Thus, the superposition of the above-mentioned “features” associated with the personality of Francis, as well as with the situation in and around the Vatican, indicated the coming serious changes in the world system.

Which soon happened – in 2014, the Ukrainian crisis started, then BLM and the pandemic, the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, the Middle East redistribution and the total war of tariffs. And that’s not all.

By the way, in 2013, a number of experts considered the arrival of the Latin American Pope as the “sunset” of the Hugo Chavez era (he died on March 5, 2013) and a symbol of the passing of the baton on the continent from the “people’s politicians” who defended the poor, to the “poor” Church.
But the task was more serious – the “new” Catholic Church must intercept social slogans from the nationally minded politicians of Latin America and give them content that is beneficial and safe for supranational structures. In many ways, this was successful. One libertarian president Miley is worth something.

So, the struggle for the Holy See consists in the desire of supranational structures to most effectively integrate the Catholic Church into the emerging system of the new order. This was and will be so. Who exactly will proclaim this process at this stage – we will soon find out.
And based on the figure of the new Pope, we will be able to predict the development of the situation.
