Why “waiting him out” is not a good strategy
Marcin Mazur (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)Suppose that the Democrats squeeze out a win in the presidential election in two weeks. And suppose that, shortly afterward, new revelations provide overwhelming evidence that it was rigged. Should Republicans simply shrug their shoulders and say, “Oh well, there’s nothing we can do at this point. We’ll just have to hope we can recapture the presidency in the next election”?
That would be an anemic and cowardly response to a massive fraud. A stolen election is no small thing. It’s a crime of epic proportions. And justice demands that the crime be rectified, even if that requires investigations, impeachments, and removal from office. To wait it out and hope for the best would be highly irresponsible. It would give the Democrats four more years to solidify their power, four more years of executive orders and congressional legislation designed to deprive ordinary citizens of their rights while expanding the reach of government. In addition, it would mean four more years of illegal immigration — ensuring Democrats of a permanent voting majority and resulting in the formation of a one-party state. In short, the “wait-it-out” strategy would result in the extinction of the Republican Party.
Yet, Catholics are currently faced with a similar scenario — and many seem to have opted for the “let’s-wait-it-out-and-hope-for-the-best” response.
Packing the Electoral College
Some claim that the election of Jorge Bergoglio to the papacy was invalid, either because the election was rigged or because former Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation was invalid. Others suggest that even if his election were valid, Bergoglio has lost the papacy due to numerous instances of public heresy and should therefore be removed.
Indeed, in an October 13 sermon,a well-known Italian priest, Fr. Giorgio Maria Faré, cited all three of these reasons (and a few more) why the “so-called Pope Francis” is not the true pope, and he called on Catholics to resist his heretical teachings. The sermon, which is in Italian, has since gone viral.
But even in the unlikely event that Pope Francis were somehow removed from the papacy, the probability is that the next pope would enforce and extend his heretical program and policies
It would seem that now is the time to identify, resist, and rectify, not to wait for some hazy date in the future only to discover that Francis’s “reforms” have become irreversible and the opportunity to change course has passed.
Why so? Because, as theologian and journalist Jules Gomes contends in a recent Stream article, Francis has, in effect, already rigged the next papal election by stacking the College of Cardinals with 20 new electors “who align with his agenda on LGBT rights, synodality, climate change, migrant issues and social justice to pave the way for a successor who will uphold his legacy.”
“Francis,” writes Gomes, “will have created 111 (nearly 80 percent) of the 140 electors,” thus exceeding the limit of 120 electors set by Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II.
Whether you call it “stacking” or “rigging,” Francis has quite clearly put his thumb on the scales of the next papal election.
