The Grandfather of the St Gallen Mafia

The House of Rampolla del Tindaro
AND ITS TIES TO THE AMAZON
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
As I continue my series of investigations into episcopal lineages and what they imply as regards factions among the Cardinals and Bishops of today, I cannot omit the most important for this investigation: the House of Rampolla del Tindaro, on account of its centrality in the history of the Church since the reign of Pope Leo XIII right down to Jorge Mario Bergoglio. See my previous report on the St. Gallen Mafia’s ties to Rampolla,
here.
This faction is very large and very powerful. You can see the power of Cardinal Rampolla in the very fact that he was never the co-consecrator of any bishop, he was always the principal consecrator.
Next, you can see the power of the man shown in this, that nearly a third of all those Bishops whom he consecrated became Cardinals of the Roman Church. You can also see the power of the man, through the generations, by the number of men who seek as their principal consecrator …

I (anonymity) once entered into e-mail discussion with a couple of people
who believed the Cardinal Siri thesis.
There are very few such people (almost none), and in fact both of these people were personal friends of the originator of the theory, Gary Giuffre.
I concluded that Mr Giuffre was a confidence trickster , and that his theory was a
mischievous prank which he played on gullible people.
The central claim, that he was pope all the time (and not John XXIII, nor Paul VI, nor John Paul I, nor St John Paul II), is obviously false.
One the one occasion that Cardinal Siri was asked about it, he was astonished and denied it.
Everything else is sheer invention. The details about white smoke mean literally nothing.
The idea that some French cardinals could veto the election of a Pope is nonsense.
When I was writing to these people they were not (yet) claiming that this priest
Carlo Taramasso was a Cardinal,
and I think that claim may have been invented after the time I was writing to them
(which was in 2004).
In conclusion, the theory is rubbish.
In summary :
a) The 1958 conclave produced Pope John XXIII, and nobody disputed this
b) Since then there have been five more conclaves, and five more Popes
c) Siri himself took part in three of them (1963 and two in 1978)
d) Neither he, nor any other of the cardinals who voted for him ever claimed
Siri was elected Pope
e) There is universal agreement as to who the Pope is.
