A Memorandum on the Next Conclave Is Circulating Among the Cardinals. Here It Is:

Since the beginning of Lent the cardinals who will elect the future pope have been passing this memorandum around. Its author, who goes by the name of Demos, “people” in Greek, is unknown, but shows himself a thorough master of the subject. It cannot be ruled out that he himself is a cardinal. (Sandro Magister)

Commentators of every school, if for different reasons, with the possible exception of Father Spadaro, SJ, agree that this pontificate is a disaster in many or most respects; a catastrophe.

(…)

(A)    The German synod speaks on homosexuality, women priests, communion for the divorced. The Papacy is silent.

(B)    Cardinal Hollerich rejects the Christian teaching on sexuality. The Papacy is silent. This is doubly significant because the Cardinal is explicitly heretical; he does not use code or hints. If the Cardinal were to continue without Roman correction, this would represent another deeper breakdown of discipline, with few (any?) precedents in history. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith must act and speak. (I should add to this that Cardinal Hollerich of Luxembourg is specifically singled out and commended for his closeness to Pope Francis by the media of the “German Catholic Church.” – SC)

(C)    The silence is emphasised when contrasted with the active persecution of the Traditionalists and the contemplative convents

And much, much more in this explosive document…..

A Memorandum on the Next Conclave Is Circulating Among the Cardinals.

Nevertheless I am mystified by statements such as this:

Schism is not likely to occur from the left, who often sit lightly to doctrinal issues. Schism is more likely to come from the right and is always possible when liturgical tensions are inflamed and not dampened.

Why should the left need to go into schism? As the author shows himself, they are in control of the institution, at least in key locations. And it’s certainly news to me that the left “doesn’t make a big deal” about doctrinal issues. (SC)
