With Francis, for the first time in its history, the Church has at its head someone who systematically has practised institutional cannibalism, writes Ludovicus on ElWanderer.com (22 April).
Institutional cannibalism is self-exaltation at the expense of the institution.
This is why there are countless expressions of condolence from anti-Catholics who profess their loyalty to Francis, "without such sentiments having brought them one millimeter closer to the faith," because "they continue to hate Catholicism for the same reasons they love Bergoglio."
In the end, anti-Catholics want a pope who renounces to fulfil his duties.
For Ludovicus, Francis' pontificate was just another wave of Wokism in the Church, even though he was "an opportunist politician to the core".
Francis was the embodiment of the spirit of the Council, which began with ecumenism and culminated in idolatry.
He championed a Church that identified with a gelatinous 'humanism' that avoided anything the powerful of this world didn't like.
"With gestures of feigned simplicity (which is the humility of the incompetent), he paraded ridiculously on state visits with a briefcase, wearing worn-out shoes, paying hotel bills in person, travelling in cheap cars and living in a hotel for travellers".
He dismissed bishops as one dismisses a servant, ignored formal requests from cardinals, condemned people in violation of procedural rules, claimed that universality must be replaced by singularity.
He changed the Italian version of the Lord's Prayer because he did not understand it: "There was no humility there".
Francis was a poor administrator, who added to his self-confessed disorganisation a lack of judgement in the choice of collaborators who accompanied him in ruining the Vatican State.
He elevated to high positions all sorts of scoundrels and cynical sceptics who deceived and betrayed him, whom he in turn threw off the Tarpeian rock.
He exterminated his enemies and persecuted his friends, if tyrants have friends. He made the Church irrelevant by involving it in worldly and absurd causes.
Being a tyrant, he broke his own rules and ended up attacking the divine law. He got rid of essentials such as the state of grace, the distinction between the just and the sinners, destroying the core of Christian morality (Amoris Laetitia, Fiducia supplicans). He "blessed" homosexual sin, "something not seen in Rome since the union of Nero and Sporo".
In favour of Francis, Ludovicus says that he was an anthropologically broken man, riddled with contradictions and prejudices that made him inextricable, perhaps even to himself.
A man with a terrible education, who did not care about religion and who could be violent and vengeful towards those who opposed him, especially his "brother bishops".
In many cases he merely repeated the mantras of the oligarchs and the commonplaces of the Western bourgeoisie: "All controls failed and he ascended to the throne of Peter, in a mysterious repetition of what happens to us Argentines with those we put in power".
An authoritarian temperament, based on Jesuit voluntarism, flourished in a scrupulous personality similar to that of Luther.
When he became Pope, his motto was to encourage young people to 'make trouble'. Mao had already done this at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution.
Despite the 'Synod on Synodality' ('the most brutal insult to intelligence I know'), his authoritarian and voluntarist framework remained.
He removed God's commandments, created new 'sins', and 'stigmatised those who stigmatise, condemned those who condemn, gossiped against gossips, and condemned self-referentiality in writings in which he overwhelmingly quoted himself'.
'Everyone, everyone, everyone', but those who opposed his will he insulted as 'rigid', 'backward' and 'mentally ill', Ludovicus recalls: "How can we forget the consequence the Soviets drew when they sent dissidents to psychiatric hospitals?"
He promoted the Pharisaism of those who boast of "not being Pharisees", practised the worldliness of the populists and wanted to turn the world into a great Jesuit mission led by Fidel Castro.
His pauperism praised 'poverty' not as a virtue but as a necessity that makes those who suffer it morally superior: "His ignorance of the very rudiments of economic science, coupled with his stubborn refusal to study anything new, led him to extol backwardness, ruinous socialist planning, 'social movements' and invasions disguised as 'immigration'".
His modest, ideologised intelligence served the ends of power: "To achieve this power, he had to flatter the ears of the elites and the media of the oligarchs."
He once attributed the opposition of his Catholic opponents to the "work of Satan". In this way he showed that he lived in a state of moral and neurotic infantilism and in a state of permanent moral superiority: "In this all tyrants are equal".
