About this listen

Marcantonio Colonna's The Dictator Pope has rocked Rome and the entire Catholic Church with its portrait of an authoritarian, manipulative, and politically partisan pontiff.

Occupying a privileged perch in Rome during the tumultuous first years of Francis' pontificate, Colonna was privy to the shock, dismay, and even panic that the reckless new pope engendered in the Church's most loyal and judicious leaders.

The Dictator Pope discloses that Father Mario Bergoglio (the future Pope Francis) was so unsuited for ecclesiastical leadership that the head of his own Jesuit order tried to prevent his appointment as a bishop in Argentina. Behind the benign smile of the "People's Pope" Colonna reveals a ruthless autocrat aggressively asserting the powers of the papacy in pursuit of a radical agenda.

It has always been an obscure thing that this Pope has appeared fully supportive of certain cultural issues in ways others were not. It seems my RC brothers and sisters are more than aware of this media Pope.

But looking at the full aspect I find it disgusting and can understand why both my children are atheists . Why trust such people that are supposed to look after and protect all people rather than use their positions to obtain possessions. Power and political status ( Shame in this e that do these things

In one respect I was not surprised

Many catholics knew something was wrong with this pope from the start.
Now the feelings are being realised.
Francis was chosen and placed by globalists trying to destroy the Catholic church because it's so large and powerful they need it gone for the NWO plans of marxist feudalism to take effect.

Obama & Soros were behind the choice of Francis a known Marxist jesuit.
Benedict was usurped and the truth is coming out by Bishops in the Vatican and in Rome.

Francis endorses Biden and Fake catholics in America who support abortion and other heresies.
He should have excommunicated these people. Instead he promotes liberal and far left hedonistic lifestyles that ate the antithesis of the Catholic doctrines and the scriptures.

Franco the globalists woke capture of the church

As a catholic born and raised, I have looked upon Pope Francis appointment with doubt, scepticism and ultimately dissapointment. A political appointee who is seemingly out of his dept and also corrupt. The author makes use of facts and insider information to point out the many flaws of this papacy and further more, the downward spiral which continues under Francis.

The author appears to be anti Vatican 2 so the book needs to be read with that in mind . I am all for open dialogue on church scandals , sexual abuse , corruption, at the same time any correlation between predatory Behavior and homosexuality is wrong ! It’s questionable to criticise a pope for being political when many popes have been and one only has to look at the involvement / interference of the Catholic Church in the running of and political life of Ireland ! Think the author needs to read In Gods name by David Yallop etc . The church is run like a large profitable company , so political interference is nothing new .

Questionable

I want to start by saying that I despise religion and think catholics have been one of the great evils of the world. But this book has been clearly written by a despiteful extreme conservative person with weak ‘facts’ whom decided to release a book just because was against the progressive agenda.
Not defending the Pope as I doubt anyone reaches such a powerful position being a true saint, but the book was certainly not a balanced view.

A silly conservatory attack

This book is a Trumpian piece of character assassination by an embittered ultra rightist, with far too much time on his hands. Reprehensible and twisted. I regret the time spent listening.

A vile and malicious rant
