Thank you so much for this positive (and at the same time realistic) assessment.

Pray that he converted and repented of his crimes against Christ, the Catholic Church and the Catholic Faith. He has a lot of responsibility for the souls that he steered the wrong way.

Great broadcast Kennedy, as you made so many valid, direct & unfiltered, observations.

I agree with you in that the next pope is likely to be one selected by Francis (to continue the progressive agenda). In this context, I believe it will be Cardinal Luis Antonio TAGLE who will become next pope.

I outlined his dealings in Part 2 of my series on Pope Francis (just do a search on "Tagle": https://fournier.substack.com/p/pope-francis-the-freemasonic-antipope-440).

Furthermore, it makes sense for them to s/elect Tagle who is from the Philippines since they want to convert Catholics (and Christians) in ASIA so as to scatter their progressive agendas to that third of the planet.

Not a betting man, but I would suspect Tagle will win it. Even on Polymarket (which is very rigged - as exposed in of my latest article, so as to help "shape" public opinion) he is in second place (at 22%) behind Pietro Parolin who is now in first place (at 31%).

But, there will be "scheming and plotting" indeed, just like in the 2024 movie Conclave.

Time will tell.

We certainly do live in Interesting Times.

Let us pray that God will intervene and we will get a HOLY pope as you say.

In a perfect world, I think the SSPX would prefer a papal mandate. Some had speculated that Francis would issue one, and may be the reason they have delayed consecration up to this point. Of course, contact discussion and negotiations will all need to start a fresh with whomever is selected as the next Pontiff. That takes time. Meanwhile, the facts on the ground remain the same. Two of the four consecrated in ‘88 are dead. The society has two aging bishops, traveling the world to minister to an increasing number of faithful. The crisis of necessity still exist, and from a practical standpoint, the society needs new bishops who can pick up some of the workload of the aging bishops. I’m certain the upper tier of the SSPX leadership has made their selections on who will be consecrated.. the death of two of the original four, and now the death of Pope Francis, and the certainty the discussions with Rome will need to start all over again. Begs the question….. when will the SSPX finally consecrate new bishops?

If I was a betting man, the next pope will be Francis II, and/or they will try to pull the wool over everybody’s eyes and possibly the next Pope could be John Paul the third

Will the SSPX consecrate new bishops before the election?

There will be a new pope likely within weeks, so, no

That’s a good question. The thought just crossed my mind, but I think they will play this out.
