Benedict XVI Wanted Bergoglio to Be Pope

When the Cardinals lined up in front of Benedict XVI after he had announced his resignation and it was the turn of Cardinal Bergoglio, Benedict said to him, “You have to obey me. If you will be elected, you must accept.”

This is what Maria Elena Bergoglio, the sister of Pope Francis, said in an interview published in the book “L’altro Francesco” [The Other Francis] by Deborah Castellano Lubov.

I don't believe her at all!!! I wish the Bergolio family would quietly shut up and go away never to be heard from again!

Catholics should do their homework by reading Antonio Socci's book disputing the validity of Francis' election "Non è Francesco." There he cites Nicolas Diat from L'homme qui ne voulait pas etre pape", Albin Michel 2014, p. 410. A close Cardinal to Cardinal Scola from Mediolan said that "Pope Benedict XVI sincerely form his heart thought that Cardinal from Milan will be elected." Majority of Ratzingerists have voted for Cardinal Scola who received second most votes. Fortunately, he did not become a pope whilst there is still the Pope who did not fully resign. Those who were disobedient and rejected to be ruled in accordance with Tradition now rule in self-destruction.

Very "reliable" source of information. When will the remaining Catholics grow up and stop gossiping? In reality since 2013 until now Francis is pure contradiction not only to Benedict's pontificate but also to Tradition. If Maria Elena would say that she had revelation in which angels came from Heaven and told her that Francis is the most sweet and saintly pope then en.news would also believe that?

Sounds like a plan was hatched and carried through. We are now reaping the bitter, bitter fruits.
