John Hogue predicted the resignation of Pope Benedict when that seemed a precedent-breaking impossibility. Now he opens up as never before about the Vatican, the papacy, the future of the Catholic Church and how it is tied to future of an increasingly uneasy world.Pope Francis is going to shock the Catholic Church as deeply as any pope ever has in its history. John Hogue tells us how and why. Make no mistake, by choosing the name Francis for the first time in the history of the papacy, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio is making a powerful statement. The cardinals who are in rebellion against the Roman Curia have won the election and this pope is going to repeat the attempt made by Pope John-Paul I to clean up the Vatican's notoriously corrupt governing body.
Infamously, John Paul died mysteriously with a list of members of the Curia who were to be purged literally lying on a table beside his bed. Immediately after his death, all pills and food that had been near him were removed and have never been seen since. His body was embalmed and he was buried, and rumors flew about his death. John Cornwell, in his book A Thief in the Night, established that there were clear signs of serious illness, but they were willfully ignored and he was, at the least, allowed to die when he could have been saved.
What will happen when Pope Francis confronts the Curia with the "Relatio," a document prepared under the direction of Cardinal Julian Herran, which is said to reveal blackmail, secret cabals and criminal activity rampant in the Curia? Pope Francis has spoken critically of the church's governing body many times. And what of the Vatican Bank, which is under intense scrutiny for money laundering and will lose its access to the Euro unless it discloses more of its activities?
John Hogue, using a combination of a high level of knowledge and information, informed by his deep understanding of prophecy, discusses what is likely to happen during the reign of the new pope—who, according to the Prophecy of St. Malachy, could be the last—at least to govern the Church as it is now organized.
