The address that the pope delivers at the beginning of each year to the diplomatic corps accredited to the Holy See bore an unmistakable imprint on Monday, January 8: that of the secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
It was the address of a great professional of diplomacy, entirely devoid of those third-worldist reprimands which are dear to Jorge Mario Bergoglio. A sign that the “comeback” of Parolin, who has now regained full control of the Vatican curia, has even made inroads with Francis.

But just before you go: ... And Parolin is more powerful than ever, thanks to Pope Francis’s predilection for churchmen who, like him, belong to the diplomats’ guild.
In fact, two other key cardinals of this pontificate come from diplomacy: Lorenzo Baldisseri, appointed by Bergoglio as secretary general of the synod of bishops, and Beniamino Stella, whom the pope made the head of the congregation for the clergy. They have no specific expertise, but they are perfectly obedient executors of the will of Francis to steer things in the predetermined directions: from communion for the divorced and remarried to the ordination of married priests.
At the secretariat of state, it is the “substitute” Angelo Giovanni Becciu, another career diplomat, who acts as executor of the pope’s wishes and as headsman, as for example with Milone or with the Knights of Malta.
In this latter case, Parolin as well was personally involved in the removal of the Grand Master. But it is rare for him to show himself. The dirty work is left to others. He flies high. So high as to be now the only candidate for succeeding Francis with a serious chance of being elected pope.
May Our Blessed Lord deliver us and His Church from the hands of men such as Bergoglio and Parolin.

If he is the next Pope ,he will be the last given his name is Peter,it would fulfill the Nostradamus prophecy.
Let us not forget Our Lady's clear statement - "In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me." And Matthew 24:13 But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved. Anyone thinking of jumping ship should think again. Outside the Church there is no redemption still holds. Let these deviants dig their own graves. They cannot change the Word of God & Christ is with His people. Satan's reign is ending. The Rosaries around borders must be spread to all continents & not given up on. Our Lady will guide us to Her Son - we have Her word on that. Be not afraid.
I had trouble opening this link.
How bold they are! This carbuncle declares what the heretic on the Chair of Peter teaches is a "new paradigm", and we the dumb sheep are supposed to coo at his lofty use of the big words, and just toss 2000 years of Catholic teaching, not to mention the Gospel, into the trash heap. "New paradigm" just means "discard everything before 2013".
There are in fact many Catholics who are doing just that, many Bishops who are doing just that, many priests. But not all, most definitely, not all. PB said the Church in the future would be "smaller", and here it is, the smaller, faithful remnant. Stay frosty my friends.
Anonymous, wasn't that St. Malachy as well?
Vox, you wrote about your getting physically sick when you saw Bergoglio for the first time. Every time I see a picture of this Cardinal Parolin another picture comes to mind. It is the final scene from the 60s movie "Rosemary's Baby" where the mother is being encouraged to care for her baby, the product of rape by the devil. They declare it to be "Year One". "Evil plotters" is exactly what they are.
Kathleen My mistake ,I meant St Malachy.
If the sec if state is for AL, then ugh but his speech to US bishops last year was better than anything the present pope could deliver.
The longer these wolves pridefully stick out their necks in triumph, the more they are exposed for the strike of the shepherd’s axe. He will come as a thief in the night. They will fall, as Satan did, like lightning...and it will be truly magnificent to see.
Psalm 2
Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way.
When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
