Vatican Source: ‘Pope is Dying’, Conclave Prep underway, credible Journalist reports

December 7, 2021
Secretary to “one of the most powerful Vatican Cardinals”…



One has to be very careful with big breaking news stories, and few are bigger than the (supposed) Pope dying. Therefore, we will tread carefully here, but tread we must.



Conservative journalist John Gizzi, formerly a writer for Human Events, is currently the chief political columnist and White House correspondent for Newsmax. Today, Dec. 7, he released the following report:



Vatican Preps for Conclave as ‘Pope Is Dying’ (Newsmax)

The brief article is behind a paywall, but the $1 immediate access fee will be affordable for most. For copyright reasons, we cannot quote much from it here.



Gizzi writes that a “secretary of one of the most powerful Vatican Cardinals” told him straightfowardly: “Pope Francis is dying.” Furthermore, Gizzi asserts that sources inside the Vatican do not expect Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) to see the end of next year, 2022, and are in “pre-Conclave mode”.



Without more details, one can only speculate as to what exactly the situation is, but apparently Francis is said to be terminally ill and not expected to live another 13 months for that reason. A diagnosis has not been revealed or rumored, but colon cancer would be a possibility, considering Bergoglio’s colon surgery back in early July. At the time, some Vaticanists expressed concern that this surgery had not been announced days or weeks in advance, as would have been customary.



This past July 7, Luis Badilla Morales of the Francis-friendly and well-connected Italian Novus Ordo blog Il Sismografo reported that Francis’ condition was more serious than the Vatican was letting on. He wrote:



…[T]here is a very significant detail that many in these hours underestimate, ignore or manipulate: the disease that has struck Pope Francis is severe and degenerative. It could also be chronic.



Certainly the Holy Father will return to the Vatican to resume his journey in the footsteps of Peter but he will never be the same again.



…



The Holy Father must take care of his health carefully and in this he must be helped by everyone, mainly Catholics. He knows that he will have to change his life a lot: fatigue, rest, limits, nutrition, rehabilitative physical exercises …


One small way to stay close to the Pope while he regains his strength — a slow, gradual and complex process — is to do away with flattery in the press. Pope Francis does not need it.

NOTE: The following is interesting speculation on who the next pope will be, but it's from a Catholic perspective and contains false information, e.g., Peter was the first pope. Also, there is only ONE "Holy Father"...and it's GOD ALMIGHTY, not one of these old men! 😡

He has managed to increase the number of like-minded cardinals who will elect the next Pope and has begun a process to ostracize traditional Catholics, so I expect that trend to continue.

Short of a deathbed repentance, he's on the fast track to the Lake of Fire, and sadly, whoever replaces him will claim he's a "saint."
