Jerusalem, April 24, 2025
On April 21, 2025, Pope Francis died after having led the Church for more than twelve years. It was a very difficult time for Catholics who adhered to the Church’s Tradition and wanted to remain faithful to it. If one is Catholic, on the one hand, one wants to show due obedience to the person who occupies the Chair of Peter, but on the other hand, one finds it impossible to do so when his course is erroneous.
Therefore, the faithful not only had to wage a spiritual battle against the anti-Christian threat pervading the world, but also to defend themselves against the influence of this spirit in the Church itself. This pontificate leaves behind an almost insurmountable burden, with processes of degradation that seem irreversible.
Of course, we must pray for Francis’ soul, because the rejection of his agenda does not imply a rejection of him as a person. Here it is necessary to make a clear distinction. Just as we must distinguish between abominable sin and the sinner, we must also distinguish between error and the person who errs. Therefore, there is no contradiction in clearly and unreservedly rejecting his pontificate and, on the other hand, praying for the one who now has to render an account before the divine Judge.
What will happen now?
Some are placing their hopes on the next Pope, who will soon be elected. Are they aware that he would have to fundamentally correct all the errors and missteps of the last pontificate? We should scrutinize the past twelve years and, furthermore, carefully examine how we were able to reach the missteps we witnessed in this pontificate. Who would be the candidate capable of carrying out this titanic task with determination? Is it really conceivable that such a Pope could emerge from the current hierarchy? Only a few openly opposed the errors! Of course, one can hope for and ask God for an orthodox Pope. There is no doubt that nothing is impossible for Him. I would be very happy if a change really took place and we once again had a Pope of right doctrine leading the Church, one who would be able to clear the rubble and help the Church shine once again with the beauty God has bestowed upon her. But can we already hope for the “resurrection of the Church,” as some do? For my part, I think it’s prudent to prepare for another battle. I think we must continue to fight it relentlessly and with extreme vigilance. Now that Francis is no longer in the spotlight—may God have mercy on his soul—we must focus on the forces behind him and ask ourselves what destructive agenda he served.
It must be made clear that during his pontificate, a Luciferian agenda was carried out under the guise of modernism and relativism. If Lucifer is, ultimately, the architect of this struggle against the Church and has achieved great influence during the last pontificate—and this is a fact—then he will not rest until he finds other instruments to use after having deceived them. From my point of view, Lucifer’s influence over the Church has not been defeated solely by Francis’ death. Therefore, we must not only consciously continue to wage the spiritual battle, but we must even intensify it. The “Church in the desert” (I am referring to those faithful who have clearly recognized the deviations of the current hierarchy and have consciously distanced themselves from them) would do well to remain very sober. We must closely and discerningly observe the events surrounding the upcoming conclave to see whether the election of an orthodox and determined Pope will bring about a change in the situation or whether we will continue—perhaps with slight modifications—on the reprehensible path embarked upon during the last pontificate. Small changes would not even be enough to minimally repair the grave damage inflicted on the Church. We must place all our hope in the Lord of the Church and remain faithful to Him and His teachings. Any Luciferian influence, no matter how subtle, must be decisively rejected. If we follow the Lord, He will know how to protect His flock and prepare them for the next stage.
