The 'Pope' Francis is no longer alive; he died, leaving behind the papal glorification, the illusion that he is the one who has worldly dominion, including over the “entire” Church as the “representative of God on earth”, the papal opulence, the cheers of the multitudes of minions of the dark Vatican and its subjects, and the honors he enjoyed as “Head of State”,  among other things.

However, according to Orthodox hymnology, “Everything human is vain which no longer exists after death; riches do not remain; glory does not accompany them; for when death comes, all of these will have vanished” and “What delight of life persists, without partaking of sorrow? What glory has stood unchangeable upon the earth? Everything is frailer than a shadow, everything is more deceitful than dreams; with just one trend, all of these things are succeeded by death”[1].

The 'blessed' Francis, now “bare” of all worldly splendor and papal vanity, is en route to appear before the fairly-deciding God, to present his plea. Of course, we individually are not his judges; it is the Church of Christ, Orthodoxy, through Her holy Councils and the holy and God-bearing Fathers. They can judge him, by acknowledging in him the terrible sin of an unrepentant heresy leader, who does not simply bear the accountability of a heretic, but of a heresy leader, which means that he will not only report to God for his own heretical beliefs, but also for the delusions that he has preserved among the millions of faithful followers of his “church”. Nevertheless, as human beings, we have an obligation to pray for him, as for all people, to find mercy.

But we cannot disregard the fact that the late Francis was one more link in the long chain of “Popes” after the great “Schism” of 1054, who had led, maintained and continued to keep Christianity in the West for a thousand years separated from the original  One and Undivided Church of Christ, and who have been continuing to keep it separated.  In fact, he was one of the most fanatical “Popes” intent on the papal cacodoxies. He did not even think for a moment to revise some of them. On the contrary, being a Jesuit himself, had supported them with a great deal of double-tongued hypocrisy and was projecting them as supposedly “orthodox traditions”, thus leaving exposed those of the Orthodox clergy and theologians, who feverishly promote the “union of the churches”, without the prerequisites that the Orthodox (centuries-old) ecclesiastic tradition had set, namely: the full and sincere repentance of heretics, and their return to the One and Undivided Church of Christ.

Unfortunately, the existing papal cacodoxies were not enough for him; in fact he added others of his own.  Very well known is his interview with the Italian atheist and emblematic journalist Eugenio Scalfari of the newspaper La Repubblica, in which he had revealed that the Theotokos “conceives Christ as Jesus of Nazareth - as a man, not as God incarnate. As soon as He is incarnated, Jesus ceases to be God and becomes man until His death on the cross”[2]!  

Also, “according to Scalfari. Bergoglio had confided to him that he did not believe in hell and that he was convinced good souls are saved by their 'fusion' with God, while the damned are destroyed, dissolved into nothingness”[3]. 

On another occasion he had spoken of ‘the failure of Christ’: “His life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross” [4].

In 2024, he had declared that “Satanism is the correct, valid route to God”[5]

and called for “the Ten Commandments to be amended, because 'they are confronted by the ever-increasing tests that are provoked by the evils of modern society'[6]!

It is said that his last words were: “There is no God in the afterlife”[7]!

But the deceased Francis was also disastrous for the papal “church” – he was obviously the 'Pope' who had divided it the most after his predecessors -- and in our opinion one of the failed 'Popes' of recent years.

In an apt recent journalistic commentary we read: “The pro-LGBTQ+ Pope who spoke about the poor and who covered up rapists:  He left chaos behind him, scandals and confusion. Francis undermined the West, divided the Church and failed to clean up the Vatican”[8]. 

It continued: “He presented himself as a defender of the weak, but his papacy was stigmatized by a cover-up of sex scandals and institutional inadequacy. He talked about social justice and 'woke' ideals, protecting friends who had been accused of sexual crimes. […] according to Politico, in the end he left behind a Church divided, theologically confused and mired in chaos. In particular, just a few weeks before his death, Pope Francis did what he knew best: anger conservatives. […]  He was elected in 2013 with a mandate to clean up the Church, following the sudden resignation of his predecessor Benedict XVI due to the 'Vatileaks' scandal. He was the first Latin American and Jesuit pontiff, and the first to take on the name Francis – a reference to St. Francis of Assisi, a defender of the poor in the 13th century. However, he is leaving a Church that, while outwardly appearing committed to defending the excluded, has made incomplete efforts to address its own mistakes – from sexual abuse to mismanagement of finances.”[9]

“He is known to have instituted a 'special blessing' for gay 'marriages' and declared himself 'incompetent' to judge homosexuality. He had also 'embraced pedophiles with love', stating in 2023 that 'pedophiles have a special place in Paradise“[10]!

He had a dark past, even as the 'archbishop' of Argentina. “He was born in 1936 in Buenos Aires to Italian immigrants: Mario, a railway worker, and Regina, a housewife. He was reportedly smart, mischievous, and a soccer lover. He worked as a doorman in nightclubs and as a cleaner, before studying chemistry and working as a technician in a food laboratory. A severe pneumonia in 1957 led to the removal of part of one of his lungs. Shortly thereafter, he joined the Jesuit Order, after an inspiring -it is said- visit to a local priest. Bergoglio initially struggled to reconcile his priestly vocation with more 'political' impulses, later admitting that he had been 'enchanted' by a young woman he met at seminary. However, he quickly rose through the hierarchy of the Church of Argentina, building a reputation as magnanimous and earning the nickname 'bishop of the slums' for doubling the number of priests in the slums of Buenos Aires. Even then he was a divisive figure: during the bloody 'dirty war' of the military junta in the 1970s, he was accused of tacit complicity when the army kidnapped anti-regime priests under his responsibility. Others, nevertheless, claim that he tried to protect them.”[11]

“However, there is evidence that he worked closely with the military fascist regimes, being responsible for the deaths of more than 30,000 people. Proof of this is that in the 12 years of his papacy he did not dare to visit Argentina, fearing the reaction of thousands of mothers who lost their children! According to an authoritative publication, 'he was summoned by lawyers and members of a human rights group because he was accused of trafficking babies, as was Mother Teresa”[12].

“The late Francis also consistently served the 'New World Order' and promoted the demonic Woke Agenda like very few did. He has been a fervent supporter of illegal immigration, which, as is well known, is promoted by the invisible leaders of globalization, for the destruction of ethnicities and the individuality of peoples. He often called for the creation of a 'global governance' to supposedly 'tackle poverty and the climate crisis.”

In the encyclical 'Fratelli Tutti' (2020), he supported the need for 'a form of global power regulated by law'[13].

He has also called for the creation of a 'global financial charter' by 2025, focused on climate change and the 'ecological obligation', particularly towards the countries of the Global South that are most affected by climate disasters[14].

He collaborated with the World Economic Forum (WEF), to which he sent his representatives annually, with his proposals[15],

which, as is well known, promotes the globalization agenda, behind the backs of the peoples. He even went so far as to consider its resigned president, Klaus Schwab, 'more important than Christ'[16]!

The criticism by Italian Professor Luigi Tedeschi is extremely revealing: “The figure of Bergoglio is particularly controversial: some exalt him as an apostle of a modernist revolution in the Church, others consider him a heretic, to whom they attribute the dissolutive phase of the Catholic Church. He was neither. Bergoglio represents the final phase of a historical process of progressive decline of a Christianity that has now been secularized and absorbed by the individualistic society of turbo capitalism. Francis was glorified as the pope of integration, when in fact it was the Church itself, stripped of its spiritual privileges, which was inserted in postmodern society. The Church has failed in her mission of conforming to modernism, instead of representing an institution of spiritual support for the multitudes who do not recognize themselves in the pervasive and inclusive materialism of modern society. The era of postmodernity brought the advent of globalization”[17].

And of course, as a failed Church, the papal “church” is implied.

In other words, he was the suitable individual of the international cryptocratic system. The famous Italian philosophy professor Francesco Lamendola revealed that the 'Pope' Francis 'was elected ... from a manoeuver planned by U.S. President Obama and Democratic nominee Clinton: who wanted a Pope according to their wishes, who would not have dealt with abortion, easy divorce, euthanasia and homosexual unions. Moreover, a pope who would give them a hand, and indeed both, to facilitate and increase the invasion of the populations of the South of the world into the countries of the North, disguising it as migration and reception, with the aim of supporting the plans of the great economic power. It is useless, therefore, to wonder why the Argentinian does and says these things, despite the fact that he is aware of the confusion and suffering these cause among millions of Catholics. The answer is very simple and not very theological or dogmatic: he does it, because he is an executor of commands, and he has been instructed to do it, for the reasons we have tried to indicate many other times.'[18]

Also, the well-known Italian analyst of geopolitics, economics and history Roberto Peccioli revealed that one of his female collaborators whom he had brought from Argentina, Emma Bonino, 'was the spearhead of a most extreme secularization and of abortion. This lady with the turban had woven Francis' praises, lauding his commitment to immigrants, prisoners and the environment.”[19]

‘Pope’ Francis was also a fervent supporter of the vision of pan-religion, as noted by the Italian professor of the University of Urbino, Katia Migliori. As a 'supporter of interfaith dialogue', he continued the course charted by his predecessors by signing a document calling on all traditional and conservative Catholics to be challenged. With the 2019 Abu Dhabi document 'ON HUMAN FRATERNITY FOR WORLD PEACE AND COMMON COEXISTENCE', Bergoglio made an act of total abolition of Christian privilege, putting all religions on the same level, denying the significance of the apostolic and the Gospel preachings. The knowledge of others with the aim of renouncing himself - one might say  on reading the introduction to the document: In the name of God and all of those, Al-Azhar al-Sharif – with the Muslims of the East and the West – together with the Catholic Church – with the Catholics of the East and the West – declare that they adopt the culture of dialogue as a way; joint collaboration as behavior; mutual knowledge as a method and criterion”'[20].

He did not hesitate to enter and pray in Islamic mosques, and in 2019 he had declared that “Islam and Christianity are equal in the eyes of God”[21].

And Professor Katia Migoliri adds: "In correlating his pan-religious views and aspirations with those of Freemasonry: 'In his latest encyclical 'Fratelli tutti', published on October 3, Pope Francis openly expressed in a completely new way an idea of universal brotherhood, as a bond that unites all people, beyond faith, ideology, their skin color, social background, language, culture, and nation. This is a thought that is close to the ideals that have been the very foundations of Freemasonry from its beginning.'[22]

It should be noted that a great many Masonic lodges had issued 'weighty' announcements and expressed their heartfelt condolences for his death!  Such as, “Francis worked vigorously for Freemasonry, which duly honored him.”  “The Grand Lodge of Italy praised him by announcing that Francis had worked consistently for the basic principles of Freemasonry, namely, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.”[23]

Professor Katia Migliori also refers to his pagan-favouring preferences. In a vulgar “pagan ceremony in 2014, by placing a pagan idol in St. Peter's Basilica” https://youtu.be/1wioisaIU2I

and “in 2022, in Canada, in a shamanic ritual, he wore the classical Indian feather headdress, provoking the reaction of many Catholics”[24],

“To make idols for worship is a very grave sin. To bow before idols is idolatry. To make offerings and sacrifices to them, to carry them triumphantly, to place them on a throne, crown them, burn incense, represents an obvious and seriously immoral idolatrous worship. Placing them on altars or in consecrated churches to be worshiped is an actual desecration”[25], stressed Professor Katia Migliori!

But the 'Pope' Francis was also negative about Orthodoxy, in spite of the fact that certain Orthodox had regarded him as 'pro-Orthodox'. He remained steadfast in the papal cacodoxies, and as a Jesuit pretended to be the 'friend' of Orthodoxy.

Politico magazine notes: “Francis, however, was certainly no 'lamb'.  Behind his paternal image was hidden the ability to play opponents against each other and to take them by surprise”[26]. 

He literally played with ecclesiastic institutions and the tradition of the Church, such as Conciliarity.  To show that he supposedly respects this sacred and supreme institution, and in order to entertain the reactions from the Orthodox side, he did not hesitate to institute a 'conciliarity' of his own inspiration, which of course has nothing to do with that of our Orthodox Church. Under the pretext of 'participation', he strengthened his own authority even more, since the ‘conciliar organs‘ would simply function as advisers to the papal institution!  He also strengthened even more the demonic and deceptive institution of ‘Unia’, which operates deceitfully, as a 'Trojan horse', misleading faithful Orthodox. Even at his funeral service, Uniate 'priests' chanted 'Christ is Risen', pretending to be Orthodox!

He knew how to set traps, such as that of a common celebration of Easter. With the concurring opinion of many Orthodox factors, he intended to determine a common celebration for the entire Christian world.  In fact, on the occasion of the celebration of the 1700th anniversary of the convocation of the First Ecumenical Council, he planned to participate in joint 'celebrations' and the formation of a pan-Christian 'ecumenical council', in which a common celebration of Easter would be established, and even worse: if the unity of Christendom was not proclaimed, at least it would have entered the final stretch!

But death thwarted his arrogant and irreverent plans! God always thwarts people's plans when they are not in accordance with His will!  It is obvious to many believers that his death, the day after Easter, was  not at all perchance, but a sign from God for those who plan in absentia of ecclesiastic tradition on the fundamental issues of the Church!  After all, it is not the only case of a 'strange' death in our ecclesiastic history, of influential ecclesiastic figures - often heretics, who wanted to impose their personal opinion on the Church!

In concluding our announcement and desiring to differentiate ourselves from the meaningless and often 'fabricated' post-mortem, ‘exaggerated censing‘ by the systemic Mass Media -and unfortunately by many ecclesiastic factors also, we have strived to be pragmatic about the person of the late 'Pope' Francis.  We sought to present a shadow outline of his true person and a presentation of his acta, 'filtered' through the pure light of our Orthodox tradition.  And this, for no other reason than to solely demystify him, so that he will not be regarded as a model to be emulated in the future.

We have sternly criticized him from time to time, as well as other heretics, not to personally exhaust them, but, with love as our gnomon for their repentance and – more importantly - to make the leaders of heretical groups the causes for conversion, both of themselves and their followers, to the salvific truth of Orthodoxy.

We pray that the deceased Francis will find mercy before the fair judgment of God and hope his successor will follow another path, the path of repentance and the return - of himself and the papal 'Church' - to the One, Holy, Catholic (overall) and Apostolic Church of Christ!
