Authoress of the "Pope's" Stations of the Cross Meditations Was a Participant of the "Illumniati" - Meeting of 2015
This year's Good Friday meditations at the Pope's Stations of the Cross,
which traditionally take place at the Coliseum in Rome, are by the
French theologian Anne-Marie Pelletier. The well-known alumna of the Institut Européen des Sciences des Religions (IESR) in Paris is not an unknown person.

Ratzinger Prize Winner 2014
A larger circle was announced in 2014, when the Joseph Ratzinger Prize
was awarded. The prize has been awarded since 2011 by the Vatican
Foundation Joseph Ratzinger - Benedict XVI. "For special
scientific-theological services in the context of contemporary
discourse." The foundation was established in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI.
In the first two years, Benedict XVI personally awarded the prize. He
also renounced his participation. According to the foundation, the prize
is awarded by a board of trustees, but "in consultation" with Benedict.
Anne-Marie Pelletier was the first woman to receive the Ratzinger Prize.
She was particularly honored for her studies on "Woman in
Christianity". Cardinal Müller, who presented the award in 2014, spoke
of an "outstanding figure of today's French Catholicism." In addition to
the IESR, Pelletier also teaches at other academic institutions,
including the Jewish Institute Universitaire Elie Wiesel. She is a
member of the French Association for Bible Studies (ACFEB) and a member
of the Institut Lustiger.
In May 2015 she appeared in the list of some 50 participants in a secret
meeting, which took place on the day of Pentecost at the Pontifical
University of the Gregorian in Rome (see The Church's "Illuminati" - List of Catholic Secret Members).
The list reads as Who is Who the Kasperians. The secret meeting was to
prepare strategies to bring about a coup in the October (upcoming)
bishop's synod on the family. The objectives were: to admit married
couples and homosexuals to the sacraments. In summary, the "Pastoral
Innovation", as the Vaticanist Edward Pentin wrote from the National
Catholic Register, was the goal.
Cardinal Marx, Archbishop Pontier, Bishop Büchel, were invited
Three presidents of European bishops' conferences were invited to the
meeting. The most important among them was Cardinal Reinhard Marx,
President of the German Bishops' Conference and Archbishop of
Munich-Freising, on the side of which the DBK General Secretary, Jesuit
Hans Langendörfer, was present. The other guests were Archbishop Georges
Pontier, President of the French Episcopal Conference and Archbishop of
Marseille, and Markus Büchel, President of the Swiss Episcopal
Conference and Bishop of Sankt Gallen.
The latter was not without piquancy, since St. Gallen in 1996 was the
meeting point of the subversive, inner-Church secret circle, which named
itself after the city. The secular group founded by Cardinal Carlo
Maria Martini (then archbishop of Milan) had its predecessor, Bishop Ivo
Fürer, but the success of this tradition was continued by Markus
Büchel. The invitation was of course only informal, because officially
it was only a private meeting behind closed doors.
The invitation by the two presidents of the Bishops' Conferences of
Germany and France reveal the "Rhenish Alliance," which was of
considerable importance for the Second Vatican Council.
The list of participants reveals planning with military precision: not
only Church representatives and theologians met. Among the invited
guests were selected representatives of leading media such as ZDF, ARD,
FAZ, NZZ and, of course, La Repubblica, the daily newspaper of
Eugenio Scalfari - according to Pope Franziskus, the "only" newspaper he
regularly reads. Pentin then pointed to Pelletier's view that the
Church needed "a dynamic of mutual listening" by guiding Magisterium's
conscience "and echoing of what the baptized say."
As Pentin reported, Pelletier also argued that the bishop's synod was
"condemned to failure" when "simply reaffirming what the Church has
always taught." A definite conception of the party. It is now a
particularly rare honor for Pope Francis.
