Progressive Cardinals Sweating Bullets. Ready For a Conservative Pope? It Could Happen…

SOLID WALL OF UNITY AGAINST EVIL
"My children, you will all link your hands for a solid wall of unity against this evil. Your links shall be prayer and sacrifice, penance! You will use all of the sacramentals given to you from the establishment of My Church upon earth." - Jesus, August 5, 1977

"UNITE IN PRAYER TO KEEP OUT THE ENEMY"
“I want a string of Rosaries across your land, from coast to coast, a solid chain to keep out the enemy, a solid chain of protection. Unite in prayer to keep out the enemy. Realize the power in your hand with the Rosary, for in your hands you hold the power of God." - Our Lady, October 6, 1970

Revolver.news reported on May 1, 2025:

With the passing of Pope Francis, the Catholic Church is entering a defining moment. The two sides, one rooted in tradition and the other pushing for so-called progress, are battling for control of the Church’s future. On one side, the progressive cardinals are scattered and unsure because their messaging has failed. On the other hand, the conservative cardinals have rallied with a focus on unity. A message that’s gaining a lot of traction and reshaping the conversation.

The Catholic Church would look so different today if the conservative and traditional Pope Benedict had remained in power.

Watch:

However, the good news is that this message of unity could do more than just shift the mood; it could deliver the next conservative pope and bring the Church back to its traditional roots.

The New York Times:

Even before Pope Francis was entombed in a Rome basilica on Saturday, conservative cardinals who felt his pontificate was a divisive disaster that endangered the church’s traditions had begun politicking to sway the conclave electing the next pope.

They have a seductively simple slogan: unity.

The conservative Cardinals are coming together on a mission to take back the Church from the progressives. The good news is that they’ve thought long and hard about this, and they believe their message of unity will gently steer the newer cardinals, who don’t fully understand “Vatican speak,” into voting their way.

It might not have looked like it from the outside, but during Francis’ reign, the conservative cardinals actually held onto an impressive amount of power. A lot of that was thanks to the behind-the-scenes influence of Pope Benedict and Cardinal Sarah, who kept Francis on a shorter leash than most people realize. The New York Times piece goes on:

But unity was central to Francis’ vision of the church, too. He just saw it differently. In 2021, Francis suppressed celebration of the Latin Mass, adored by Cardinal Sarah and other traditionalists, because he argued it was being used by ideologically motivated Catholics to undermine church unity.

That decision only emboldened conservative criticism of Francis as an authoritarian. “That is his style, to divide,” Cardinal Müller said on Thursday in his apartment. “All dictators are dividing.”

As Francis entered the later phase of his pontificate, his progressive supporters expected him to start making concrete changes. Instead, concerns about church unity seemed to prompt him to punt.

When bishops from remote areas in South America came to the Vatican in 2019 for a major meeting desired by Francis, they recommended that, to address a shortage of clergy, the pope should allow older married Catholic men in good standing to become priests.

Francis gave every indication that this practical solution was what he wanted, but around that time Cardinal Sarah coauthored a book with the retired Benedict reaffirming priestly celibacy.

The “unity” group managed to block a lot of Pope Francis’ progressive agenda. It’s clear the Church isn’t ready to dive headfirst into the left’s ideological waters. Francis dipped a toe in, and yeah, it caused some damage, but the conservative cardinals pushed back hard and kept him from going full speed ahead into a brick wall. The New York Times piece continues:

On other issues with the potential to split the church, including whether to allow women to be ordained as deacons, a ministerial role, Francis allowed a long-taboo debate but ultimately made no decision, saying the issue needed more study. The unity crowd again breathed a sigh of relief.

And when Francis did make a major change, allowing, and even promoting, priestly blessings for same-sex couples, he was applauded by liberals in Europe and North America. But a huge expression of dissent from church leaders in Africa, the place that many see as the faith’s future, forced him to backtrack. For the sake of unity, Francis exempted the Africans for an unspecified time to get with the program, essentially allowing them to opt out.

[…]

Cardinal Müller, on the other hand, considered the controversy, and Francis’ efforts to get bishops and laypeople to come together to make decisions, to be distractions from the church’s true mission of defending its doctrine and revealing its truth to the world without taking into account popularity contests or politics.

“This agenda with blessings of homosexuals and so on, and women priesthood,” he said, “they are not the great questions for humanity.”

After Pope Francis passed, we put in our two cents about his most likely replacements.

Revolver:

Pope Francis fit the left’s agenda a little too perfectly. Coincidence? Maybe—but a lot of people think it was calculated.

However, now it’s time to choose a new pope. Will the left-wing globalists keep their stranglehold on the Catholic Church—or will tradition finally prevail? There’s a viral thread making the rounds on X listing some of the top contenders for the job.

We went through the names and broke them down: the good, the bad, and the total disasters:

1. Cardinal Péter Erdo – GOOD
Traditional, disciplined, not flashy, and no interest in turning the Church into a woke social club. Solid, serious pick who actually respects doctrine.

2. Cardinal Robert Sarah – GOOD
The dream pope for traditional Catholics. Unapologetically bold, anti-woke, fiercely pro-life. But he’s 79 and way too real for the Vatican elites to ever back.

3. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa – GOOD
Tough, grounded, and not playing globalist games. Doesn’t go full trad, but definitely not woke either. A respectable, stable choice.

4. Cardinal Charles Bo – BAD
Too focused on social justice and “interfaith” outreach. Leans left when it counts. Not a warrior for tradition.

5. Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith – GOOD
Quiet, serious, and committed to old-school Catholicism. He respects tradition and isn’t chasing modern trends—but his age might work against him.

6. Cardinal Daniel Sturla – GOOD
Orthodox, clear-headed, and not afraid to speak the truth in a secular culture. Underrated, but very solid.

7. Cardinal William Goh – BAD
Way too weak. Talks tradition, but plays both sides. Not trustworthy when it comes to holding the line.

8. Cardinal Willem Eijk – GOOD
He’s tough on the moral issues, speaks plain truth in a world that hates it, and doesn’t play games with Church teaching. No fluff. Just solid.

9. Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo – MIXED
Good on resisting the LGBT agenda, but leans too political and activist-heavy. Could go either way.

10. Cardinal Peter Turkson – BAD
Globalist energy. Big on climate change and wealth redistribution. Not a defender of tradition—more of a “Vatican insider” type.

11. Cardinal Pietro Parolin – VERY BAD
Deep State Vatican. Helped sell out Catholics to China. Globalist to the core. This guy would be a disaster.

12. Cardinal Matteo Zuppi – DISASTER
Woke, progressive, and already trying to remake Church teaching. Basically, Francis 2.0 with a faster, better-built motor. Hard “no” on this guy.

The bottom line is that we could see a conservative cardinal because the progressive cardinals are rattled, and for good reason. They don’t have a message that can compete with the popular call for unity, which is exactly what so many people are craving after years of infighting and chaos. Even those on the left are starting to admit they’re exhausted. Meanwhile, the old, failed buzzword of “diversity” just isn’t hitting like it used to…

In fact, more and more people are realizing that diversity has never been our strength—it’s our downfall.
