the official mascot for the 2025 Jubilee and was<a href="https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2024-10/jubilee-of-hope-2025-concerts-art-exhibitions.html"> launched</a> at a press conference on October 28 by Archbishop Rino Fisichella. Luce’s name is of course derived from the Latin <em>lux, lucis</em>, meaning ‘light’. From this comes such English words as ‘illuminate’, ‘luminous’, and ‘Lucifer’, as well as the Italian, <em>illuminati</em>. (<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/is-there-a-link-between-vatican-mascot-luce-and-lucifer/?utm_source=featured-news&utm_campaign=usa">This article</a> from LifeSite gives a very thorough analysis of the name ‘Luce’ and its link with Enlightenment philosophy.)</p> <p>The artist who created Luce was immediately exposed as being a promoter of LGBTI rights and a purveyor of fine sex-toys, leading to a collective sigh from controversy-fatigued traditional Catholics.</p> <p>The first thing one notices when first looking at Luce – when one recovers from the visceral response to the sheer insult being given to God and to the Church’s tradition of exceptionally fine art – is the staff in the figure’s left hand. Although being promoted as a pilgrim’s staff, this is very reminiscent of a witch’s stang. The stang is a two-pronged tool made of wood, used by witches for spells and (apparently), for flight.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p></p> <p></p> <p>A stang was famously <a href="https://wdtprs.com/2018/10/what-is-that-synod2018/">presented</a> to Pope Francis during the 2018 Synod by a young woman wearing a red string around her wrist. The Pope later carried this stang instead of the usual crozier during Mass.</p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image

wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p></p> <p></p> <p>The Stang, pictured at left with crossed arrows, is the relatively modern name given to a witch’s staff. The word was first <a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/byathameandstang/2016/08/the-stang/">used</a> by a male witch in the 1960’s but the tool itself is far older and can be found in ancient artwork as well as in various cultures.</p> </div> </div> <p>Luce also features a Rosary without a corpus (so as not to offend the Protestants?) worn around its neck and shells in its eyes. Eyes are highly symbolic for occultists, and represent the gateway to inner knowledge. In the esoteric world, shells are said to represent new birth or transformation. At first glance, the eyes of Luce seem to be extremely sad and filled with tears – not a great look in these days of industrial-scale child abuse.</p> <p>But Luce is only part of a collection of mysterious esoteric-themed artwork being promoted by the Vatican. <a href="https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2024-10/jubilee-of-hope-2025-concerts-art-exhibitions.html">Vatican News</a> also announced that a bizarre painting will be displayed during the Jublilee. From artist Marc Chagall, the painting will be on loan from the Art Institute of Chicago. The artwork is called, “white Crucifixion’ and shows Jesus on the cross, wearing a Jewish prayer shawl called a <em>tallit</em>.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="8047" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/04/let-there-be-luce/screenshot-2024-11-04-at-9-52-57-am/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-2024-11-04-at-9.52.57e280afam.png" data-orig-size="646,760" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Screenshot 2024-11-04 at 9.52.57 AM" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-2024-11-04-at-9.52.57e280afam.png?w=255" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-2024-11-04-at-9.52.57e280afam.png?w=646" loading="lazy" width="646" height="760" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-2024-11-04-at-9.52.57e280afam.png?w=646" alt="" class="wp-image-8047" style="width:442px;height:auto" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-2024-11-04-at-9.52.57e280afam.png 646w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-2024-11-04-at-9.52.57e280afam.png?w=128 128w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-2024-11-04-at-9.52.57e280afam.png?w=255 255w" sizes="(max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px" /></figure></div> <p></p> <p>Chagall, a Jew, was apparently <a href="https://journal.juilliard.edu/journal/1312/marc-chagall">obsessed</a> by Christ’s crucifixion and painted many works around this theme. Some of those showed Chagall’s own face in the figure on the cross. This is said to represent the persecution of Jews, especially during the Holocaust. </p> <p>But there may be a more sinister interpretation of this: high-level satanists pursue something known as <em>apotheosis</em>, which is the state of ‘becoming a god’. I’ve <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/10/27/synarchy-and-the-illuminati/">previously</a> mentioned a <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/1503196348?ref_=mr_referred_us_au_au">book</a> by Kerth Barker, in which he mentions some satanists he knew who displayed statues and artwork which featured their own faces. This was because they wanted to be worshipped as gods. Chagall was perhaps attempting to do the same thing by replacing Christ’s face with his own. Chagall’s work was also featured in an occult <a href="https://www.widewalls.ch/magazine/occult-art">art exhibition</a> in Spain in 2023. So while none of this is conclusive evidence of Chagall’s ties to the occult, it is nevertheless interesting in light of the Vatican’s continued use of artwork from <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/06/06/vatican-continues-to-use-rupniks-art/">Rupnik</a> and its ties to the very strange artist, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/07/02/more-evidence-of-a-vatican-s-cult/">Jago</a>.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="8030" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/04/let-there-be-luce/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg" data-orig-size="202,300" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="The_Deposition_of_Christ_(Caravaggio)" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg?w=202" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg?w=202" loading="lazy" width="202" height="300" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg?w=202" alt="" class="wp-image-8030" style="width:287px;height:auto" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg 202w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg?w=101 101w" sizes="(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px" /></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p></p> <p>Vatican officials are also planning to use ‘Luce’ as a mascot at the 2025 World Expo to be held in Japan. Along with Luce, the Holy See’s pavilion will exhibit Caravaggio’s <em>Deposition of Christ</em>, shown at left. This may be another clue to the existence of Luce: Caravaggio is known as the ‘<a href="https://www.openculture.com/2020/09/a-short-introduction-to-caravaggio-the-master-of-light.html">Master of Light</a>‘ because of his use of the technique known as <em>tenebrism</em> – the dramatic contrast between dark and light areas – in his works. Caravaggio must be a favourite in the Curia, as he was most likely a bisexual who died at an early age, possibly from either syphilis or murder.</p> </div> </div> <p>So with Luce, Chagall and Caravaggio, it’s just a case of ‘another day, another immoral role model’ as the Ape of the Church continues its slow grind towards total apostasy.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="cat-links">Categories <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/category/occult/" rel="category tag">Occult</a></span><span class="sep">•</span><span class="tags-links">Tags <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/art/" rel="tag">Art</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/caravaggio/" rel="tag">Caravaggio</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/culture/" rel="tag">Culture</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/featured/" rel="tag">Featured</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/luce/" rel="tag">Luce</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/marc-chagall/" rel="tag">Marc Chagall</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/occult/" rel="tag">Occult</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/pope-francis/" rel="tag">Pope Francis</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/stang/" rel="tag">Stang</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-7142" class="post-7142 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-catholic-clergy-masonic-sympathisers tag-art tag-dirty-war tag-featured tag-modernism tag-pope-francis tag-rupnik"> <div class="featured-image"> <span> <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/08/19/pope-francis-has-rupniks-art-in-his-apartment/"><img width="940" height="627" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png?w=940" class="attachment-toujours-featured size-toujours-featured wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png?w=940 940w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png?w=300 300w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png?w=768 768w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png?w=1024 1024w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px" data-attachment-id="7151" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/08/19/pope-francis-has-rupniks-art-in-his-apartment/rupnik-pf-2/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png" data-orig-size="1200,800" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="RUPNIK PF" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rupnik-pf-1.png?w=760" /></a> </span> </div> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/08/19/pope-francis-has-rupniks-art-in-his-apartment/" rel="bookmark">Pope Francis Has Rupnik’s Art in His Apartment</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="posted-on"><span>Published on <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/08/19/pope-francis-has-rupniks-art-in-his-apartment/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2024-08-19T10:45:43+10:00">August 19, 2024</time></a></span></span> <span class="byline">by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/author/anonymouscath/">anonymouscath</a></span></span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/08/19/pope-francis-has-rupniks-art-in-his-apartment/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>As Catholic media has <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/258755/rupnik-art-appears-on-vatican-website-again-and-in-pope-francis-apartment">reported</a> the Pope is hanging artwork from the notorious sex-offender Marko Rupnik in his private apartment at the Santa Marta.</p> <p>The image in question can be seen in a Youtube video made by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5ujGf0_tZs">Canal de la Cuidad</a> (City Channel), posted on August 8, 2024.

Astiz was a prominent military commender during the Argentine Dirty War (1976-1983.) He was later charged with crimes against humanity and <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/11/30/567414044/angel-of-death-among-29-given-life-sentences-over-argentinas-dirty-war">sentenced</a> to 19 life sentences for human rights abuses.</p> <p style="font-size:18px">The video from <em>Canal de la Cuidad</em> was related to Astiz’ victims. It shows Pope Francis speaking with a young woman by the name of Anita Fernandez, the grand-daughter of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_Ballestrino"><strong>Esther Ballestrino de Careaga</strong> </a>, who was a left-wing activist executed under orders from Alfredo Astiz.</p> <p style="font-size:18px">Ballestrino had been a great friend of Jorge Bergoglio: she was his supervisor when he worked at the Hickethier-Bachmann Laboratory in Buenos Aires. Ballestrino was an avowed Marxist and had a great impact on the young Bergoglio. George Neumayr’s <em>Political Pope</em> recounts Fr. Bergoglio’s thoughts on Ballestrino:</p> <p style="font-size:18px">“I owe a huge amount to that woman; she taught me so much about politics. She often read Communist Party texts to me and gave them to me to read…..I realised a few things, an aspect of the social, which I then found in the social doctrine of the Church.”</p> <p style="font-size:18px">After his ordination, Ballestrino called Fr. Bergoglio asking for the Last Rites to be given to a family member, even though she was personally an atheist. When Fr. Bergoglio arrived, he was told that Ballestrino <a href="https://www.clarin.com/pope-francis/friend-in-the-death-flights_0_H1alylqiD7l.html">in reality</a> wanted him to dispose of the Communist literature which would incriminate her in the event of a raid. Bergoglio acquiesced (one source claims he took these books to a ‘Jesuit library’) but despite this, Ballestrino was eventually detained and ‘disappeared’.</p> <p style="font-size:18px">By the time her body was found, washed up on the beach after being thrown from a plane, Bergoglio was Archbishop of Buenos Aires. Even knowing that she was a Marxist, he had her buried in the garden of the church of Santa Cruz. So, while Alfredo Astiz was not a good person, and while throwing Marxists from planes is quite inhumane, Ballestrino wielded an evil influence over the young Bergoglio, helping to form, so to speak, the anti-capitalist and humanist tendencies which are apparent in him today.</p> <p style="font-size:18px">{NOTE: One more detail about the Papal apartment: this rather bizarre set of decorations are found to the Pope’s left in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5ujGf0_tZs">video</a>.

Not only that, but he was known to be involved with the OTO, a group for which ritual s** is its bread and butter. Since then, strange tales and mysterious events suggesting the existence of such a group within the Curia have popped up from time to time.</p> <p>From “<a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.wordpress.com/tag/windswept-house/">Windswept House</a>“, and its shocking account of simultaneous Black Masses performed by high-ranking Catholic priests, to the disappearance of young girls within the Vatican walls, to the gay orgies and general air of sodomy prevalent among the hierarchy, there is no doubt that sinister forces have infiltrated the Curia’s ranks or that they are using the dark arts to further the reign of Satan. Even Fr. Gabriel Amorth – an exorcist but no great traditionalist – confirmed that Satanic Black Masses are in fact being held in the Vatican.

(Incidentally, I also wrote about it<a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.wordpress.com/2023/02/12/further-posthumous-humiliation-of-pope-benedict/"> here</a>.) Pope Head gave quite an examination of the artist in question, and found other works of his which are even more disturbing than his bust of the Pope: works with a theme of child s** abuse.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="6132" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/07/02/more-evidence-of-a-vatican-s-cult/jago-habemus-hominem-2009-2016-marmo-statuario-1/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/jago-habemus-hominem-2009-2016-marmo-statuario-1.jpeg" data-orig-size="1080,1080" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="JAGO-Habemus-Hominem-2009-2016-marmo-statuario-1" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/jago-habemus-hominem-2009-2016-marmo-statuario-1.jpeg?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/jago-habemus-hominem-2009-2016-marmo-statuario-1.jpeg?w=760" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/jago-habemus-hominem-2009-2016-marmo-statuario-1.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-6132" /></figure> <p style="font-size:15px"><em>Before and after pictures of Jago’s sculpture, which is clearly meant as a message – an insult to Benedict or the mocking triumph after a stolen Conclave. The right-hand version, made after Benedict’s abdication, retains the Papal ring and most bizarrely, has been given a set of eyes, which were conspicuously missing from the original.</em></p> <p></p> <p>His latest article, though, asks a pertinent question: who exactly was it that commissioned the sculpture of Benedict XVI? (And the answer may well be given in the PAID section of the <em>Pope Head blog</em>.) It is known that someone in the Vatican commissioned it and, according to the <em>Pope Head</em> thesis, it looks suspiciously like that person or persons unknown had in mind Benedict’s resignation when the sculpture was first created.</p> <p><strong>Four years prior to Benedict announcing it to the world.</strong></p> <p>Two names are then mentioned by <em>Pope Head</em>: Cardinals Ravasi and Bertone. They jointly gave Jago an award for his original bust in 2009, so are obviously great fans of his work. (Pope Benedict himself did not care for it.)</p> <p>Ravasi, as the reader may recall, is known for his “Letter to Brother Masons” reproduced <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.wordpress.com/2021/05/12/cardinal-ravasi-flatters-the-masons/">here.</a> </p> <p>Bertone was once Secretary of State and was said to have been <a href="https://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/71323bdc4.html?eng=y">close</a> to Benedict. </p> <p><em>Pope Head</em> suggests he is a Freemason (Well, he DOES have a <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cardinal-tarcisio-bertone-pope_n_6699464">collection</a> of black and white scarves) who helped Bergoglio gain power and who may have been responsible for Vigano’s “sideways promotion” away from the Vatican Bank. Indeed, Bertone is singled out for blame in Archbishop Vigono’s latest <a href="https://exsurgedomineusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/en.JACCUSE.pdf">missive</a> on his accusation of schism.</p> <p>Bertone was also accused of helping himself to large amounts of Vatican funds and, according to <em>Pope Head</em>, is all round, a “terrifying” figure.</p> <p>Not only that, he actually met <a href="https://www.catholic.org/news/hf/faith/story.php?id=74883">Sr. Lucia</a> of Fatima on three occasions, then went on to – how shall we put it – <em>slightly change </em>the Third Secret, something none of us would want on their conscience at our particular judgement.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="6141" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/07/02/more-evidence-of-a-vatican-s-cult/jago-ego-2-1200x800/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/jago-ego-2-1200x800-1.webp" data-orig-size="1200,800" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="JAGO-Ego-2-1200×800" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/jago-ego-2-1200x800-1.webp?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/jago-ego-2-1200x800-1.webp?w=760" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="682" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/jago-ego-2-1200x800-1.webp?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-6141" /></figure> <p style="font-size:15px"><em>One of Jago’s earlier pieces, said to be his own hand.

Even Jago’s relatively normal works contain some abnormal element. (See his hand, above.) The man is simply not balanced.</p> <p>But then, “balanced” is not not a word that could be used to describe the Curia under the Bergoglio pontificate. Rather, it is regime marked by sexual perversion, narcissism and diabolical disorientation. </p> <p>And, incidentally, those are all the ingredients necessary for a thriving culture of ritual coupling.</p> <p></p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="cat-links">Categories <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/category/catholic-clergy-masonic-sympathisers/" rel="category tag">Catholic Clergy - Masonic sympathisers</a></span><span class="sep">•</span><span class="tags-links">Tags <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/art/" rel="tag">Art</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/culture/" rel="tag">Culture</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/featured/" rel="tag">Featured</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/freemasonry/" rel="tag">Freemasonry</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/homosexuality/" rel="tag">Homosexuality</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/pope-francis/" rel="tag">Pope Francis</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-4645" class="post-4645 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-culture tag-art tag-culture tag-featured tag-pope-francis"> <div class="featured-image"> <span> <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/06/06/vatican-continues-to-use-rupniks-art/"><img width="749" height="480" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/screen-shot-2023-06-06-at-10.45.19-pm-1.png?w=749" class="attachment-toujours-featured size-toujours-featured wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/screen-shot-2023-06-06-at-10.45.19-pm-1.png 749w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/screen-shot-2023-06-06-at-10.45.19-pm-1.png?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/screen-shot-2023-06-06-at-10.45.19-pm-1.png?w=300 300w" sizes="(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px" data-attachment-id="4653" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/06/06/vatican-continues-to-use-rupniks-art/screen-shot-2023-06-06-at-10-45-19-pm-2/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/screen-shot-2023-06-06-at-10.45.19-pm-1.png" data-orig-size="749,480" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Screen Shot 2023-06-06 at 10.45.19 pm" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/screen-shot-2023-06-06-at-10.45.19-pm-1.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/screen-shot-2023-06-06-at-10.45.19-pm-1.png?w=749" /></a> </span> </div> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/06/06/vatican-continues-to-use-rupniks-art/" rel="bookmark">Vatican continues to use Rupnik’s art!</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="posted-on"><span>Published on <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/06/06/vatican-continues-to-use-rupniks-art/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2023-06-06T23:29:58+10:00">June 6, 2023</time></a></span></span> <span class="byline">by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/author/anonymouscath/">anonymouscath</a></span></span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/06/06/vatican-continues-to-use-rupniks-art/#comments">2 Comments</a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Have they no shame? </p> <p>Evil.

The first version had apparently been rejected by the Vatican because of its hollow, soulless eyes. [It is perhaps of note that having one’s eyes plucked out is a penalty in several degrees of Freemasonry for the violating of one’s oaths.] Apart from that perturbing detail, the statue had some artist merit, being a decent likeness of Ratzinger, and presented with the dignity merited by a Pontiff.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:100%"> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default"><img data-attachment-id="4185" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/02/12/further-posthumous-humiliation-of-pope-benedict/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7-49-42-am/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.49.42-am.png" data-orig-size="680,700" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.49.42-am" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.49.42-am.png?w=291" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.49.42-am.png?w=680" loading="lazy" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.49.42-am.png?w=680" alt="" class="wp-image-4185" width="339" height="349" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.49.42-am.png?w=339 339w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.49.42-am.png?w=678 678w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.49.42-am.png?w=146 146w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.49.42-am.png?w=291 291w" sizes="(max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px" /></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default"><img data-attachment-id="4189" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/02/12/further-posthumous-humiliation-of-pope-benedict/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7-58-23-am/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.58.23-am.png" data-orig-size="848,781" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.58.23-am" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.58.23-am.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.58.23-am.png?w=760" loading="lazy" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.58.23-am.png?w=848" alt="" class="wp-image-4189" width="379" height="349" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.58.23-am.png?w=379 379w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.58.23-am.png?w=758 758w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.58.23-am.png?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-7.58.23-am.png?w=300 300w" sizes="(max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px" /></figure> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The updated version, however, reminds one of those hideous <a href="https://www.imagineexhibitions.com/exhibitions/real-bodies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">displays</a> of preserved cadavers that are popular among the avant-garde and their luciferian hangers-on.

Although the artist, Jacopo Cardillo, says that he loved the former Pope, the thumbnail image on the video showing him staring intently at his work, reveals anything but love.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img data-attachment-id="4193" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/02/12/further-posthumous-humiliation-of-pope-benedict/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8-00-19-am/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am.png" data-orig-size="1204,482" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am.png?w=760" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="409" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-4193" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am.png?w=1022 1022w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am.png?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am.png?w=300 300w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am.png?w=768 768w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/screen-shot-2023-02-12-at-8.00.19-am.png 1204w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cardillo named the original bust, ‘Habemus Papam’, while the new version is called ‘Habemus Hominem’. I think you will agree that ‘Habemus Abominamentum’ is a far more accurate description. Cardillo is apparently a ‘self-taught’ artist who created ‘Habemus Papem’ at the age of 23. He was fascinated by the legendary ‘Veiled Christ’ sculpture, which is said to have been wrought by the aid of alchemy. He also seems to have a thing for sculpting <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.visitnaples.eu/en/neapolitanity/tales-of-naples/the-artist-jago-between-the-abandoned-foetus-and-the-link-with-naples" target="_blank">fetuses</a>, both living and dead.
