Cardinal Danneels Admits to Being Part of 'Mafia' Club Opposed to Benedict XVI
New authorized biography also reveals papal delegate at upcoming synod wrote letter to Belgium government supporting same-sex "marriage" legislation because it ended discrimination against LGBT groups
Further serious concerns are being raised about
Cardinal Godfried Danneels, one of the papal delegates chosen to attend
the upcoming Ordinary Synod on the Family, after the archbishop emeritus
of Brussels confessed this week to being part of a radical "mafia"
reformist group opposed to Benedict XVI.
It was also revealed this week that he once wrote a letter to the Belgium government favoring same-sex "marriage" legislation because it ended discrimination against LGBT groups.
The cardinal is already known for having once advised the king of Belgium to sign an abortion law in 1990, for telling a victim of clerical sex abuse to keep quiet, and for refusing to forbid pornographic, “educational” materials being used in Belgian Catholic schools.
He also once said same-sex “marriage” was a “positive development,” although he has sought to distinguish such a union from the Church’s understanding of marriage.
According to a forthcoming authorized biography on the cardinal co-written by Jürgen Mettepenningen, a former spokesman for Cardinal Danneels' successor, Archbishop Andre Joseph Leonard, and Karim Schelkens, a Church historian and theologian, the cardinal expressed satisfaction over the disappearance of “discrimination” against LGBT couples after legislation was passed approving same-sex "marriage" in 2003.
The authors of the biography, to be published Sept. 29, reveal that the cardinal wrote a letter on May 28, 2003, to then-Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, who at that time was putting together his second government.
In the letter, the cardinal wrote favorably about "one of the last achievements of Verhofstadt’s first governments, the approval of a legal statute for a stable relationship between partners of the same sex." Verhofstadt’s government introduced same sex-‘marriage’ into Belgium in 2003.
"He wanted to stop discrimination between married heterosexuals and homosexuals who had a long-term relationship," write the two authors of the biography. "But there should be no confusion between the use of the term ‘marriage’."
Asked about the letter, Verhofstadt said he did not recall it, but added: “I never had any problem with the cardinal. Our relationship was good.”
Under Verhofstadt’s leadership, from 1999 to 2007, the Belgian government not only introduced same sex “marriage”, but also laws on euthanasia, experiments on human embryos, and IVF.
Despite the poor record of the Belgian Church in resisting these laws, and the country being far smaller than many African countries that have one delegate representing them, Cardinal Danneels, 82, will be one of three Belgian prelates to attend the synod in October.
The Vatican listed him second in importance out of 45 delegates personally chosen by Pope Francis to participate in the upcoming meeting. He also took part in last year’s Extraordinary Synod as a papal delegate.
At the launch of the book in Brussels this week, the cardinal said he was part of a secret club of cardinals opposed to Pope Benedict XVI.
He called it a "mafia" club that bore the name of St. Gallen. The group wanted a drastic reform of the Church, to make it "much more modern", and for Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to head it. The group, which also comprised Cardinal Walter Kasper and the late Jesuit Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, has been documented in Austen Ivereigh's biography of "Pope" Francis, The Great Reformer.
Per Canon Law Pope Benedict XVI is Pope (forced out under duress). More and more recent information support this reality...

Why pope Benedict did excommunicated the demonic cardinals? why did he let the Church be take over by these from the ranks of satanaz? should the ones that have right and obligation to speak remain silent. For many years I have been looking for a good sermon, one that advert the faithful of the seriousness of sim, one that is not ashamed of entice the faithful of the reverence to our mother and the saints, one that is not afraid to warn the sheep of the insidious protestants who falsify the history of the Church and steal the sheep, degrade the mother of God. I am appalled by the long lines to receive communion and the almost non existent to the confessional. I believe we need to stick together for if we dismember we will be just protestants but we need to evangelize ourselves and others. We need forget a little about the theology and teach the faith pure and simple for Jesus said blessed are the are the little for my father reveled the knowledge to them and held from the learned.
ReplyDeleteFr Ratzinger was the peritus of Dr Karl Rahner SJ at the V2 Councils. He has always worked for the Revolution in the Church. Dealing with him in his capacity as the Prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith, Archbishop Lefebvre considered Cardinal Ratzinger to be "not a Catholic" working to de-Christianise Europe.
ReplyDeleteThe real coup e'tat when the Revolution succeeded at the level of the Universal Church and captured its highest offices (including the papacy), would have been 1958 - 1963 A.D.
He still is Pope. Material heretic who has jurisdiction over the Church. The V2 popes will be formally excommunicated in the great council to come.
DeleteVatican II NewChurch is heretical/schismatic
Apostate Church coming= Void of Dogma

ReplyDeleteFrancis isn't a formal heretic ?
ReplyDeleteRegardless of whether Pope Benedict is a material heretic or not - the apostate church has been here for some time.
ReplyDeleteno vatican 2 newchurch is heretical, the apostate church is next when rome loses the dogma of faith infallibly (invalid excathedra)...
