Il Tempo: Francis Has Died In Elevator
Luigi Bisignani wrote on IlTempo.it on June 1 that the official version of Francis' death was false.
Bisignani is a well-known and controversial Italian writer renowned for his insider knowledge of the Vatican. However, he has also been involved in major political scandals, such as the 'P2 Masonic Lodge' affair in 1981 and the Enimont Affaire in the 1990s.
The Vatican provided two different versions of Francis's death. According to the Holy See Press Office, Francis died at 07:35 on 21 April 2025 in his room at Santa Marta.
However, Bisignani claims that the crisis began before dawn and worsened rapidly and irreversibly. Francis's personal nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, reportedly tried in vain to take him to Gemelli Hospital. "The Pope must not die," he apparently repeated like a litany.
According to Bisignani, Francis died without sacraments, in a wheelchair, in the Santa Marta lift between the second floor and the ground floor: "The body, with a wrinkled face and hands, perhaps from …More
The "2nd vote" rumor to explain away the obvious fact that Pope Leo XIV was "selected" by the "organization" before the conclave is so preposterous that only an indoctrinated Conciliarist could believe it.
Still, you can't blame the "fixers" for putting our some explanation for the fact that his lengthy speech he delivered less than an hour after the white smoke obviously took many hours of writing and re-writing to prepare. To float that absurd explanation when the conclave vote is being seriously questioned later would be silly.
Although the issue of Pope Leo XIV being "selected" before the conclave is of little importance today, it will not be that long before it become obvious to most that Pope Leo XIV will be carrying out the precise agenda of Pope Francis--but will be doing it with far more deftness and aplomb than his predecessor. It is at that time that the serious question will arise as to whether he is simply the product of the "Gallican Mafia-part II."
Gossip…scandalous gossip. If he was actually dying or near death or experiencing a traumatic life-or-death episode, they would not have placed him in a “wheelchair” to transport him out to the ambulance, they would have used a hospital gurney or some other sort of emergency conveyance to move him. Especially in light of fact that he would have required life-sustaining measures and equipment to maintain viability until he was able to be stabilized somewhere. This Bisignani account smells of calumny.
Correct. Thank you SonoftheChurch. The way this fake story is told, you'd think the nurse was alone with the Pope when the latter was near death and there was no other person within hearing distance that the nurse could call for help. I'd like to think there might be a priest or two in an adjacent room or out in the hallway, praying and ready to give Francis the last rites and/or give a hand in transporting him. Francis had been bedridden for weeks and surely, with all the priests around him, he must have received the sacraments a few hours before he passed.
@SonoftheChurch @Marie Marietta This is just speculations on your part, but even if this story is just gossip, we don't know if Francis recieved last rites. Francis was sui generis, and he said and did things that no other Pope has ever done.
Well, this is interesting and we can now put to rest the theory that Francis recieved the Apostolic Blessing and his last sacraments b/c he didn't.
"Francis died without sacraments"
And he generally believed in universal salvation. Why would he need sacraments with such a faith.
from an article : " Bergoglio's personal nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti, allegedly tried in vain to take him to Gemelli. "The Pope must not die," he apparently repeated like a litany. Then, nothing. Between the second floor and the ground floor, in a wheelchair in the elevator of Santa Marta, Francis dies. "The body with the face and hands wrinkled, perhaps from pain, discreetly brought back to the papal room, was recomposed. Hands crossed, forehead serene. Or at least that's how it was supposed to appear.
Strappetti, from nurse to shadow master of ceremonies, finds himself the only filter between Francis and the world. The man who had slowly distanced the official doctors, now becomes the custodian of Francis' remains and of the last secrets. Next to him, that morning, appears the ineffable Stefano De Santis, commissioner of the Vatican Gendarmerie, implacable accuser in the Becciu case. Shadow man of the pontifical rooms, manager of security and access. The two, in those hours, they control everything and everyone. "
Il papa non deve morire....the pope must not die...it doesn’t make sense...So everyone else can die but not the pope...what? And what would happen if he dies? The world will end? The church will die? Did they say that about Jesus: “Jesus must not die!” A litany of those words sounds weird...
