Pope ‘failed to act’ on US sex abuse claims
by Anne Barrowclough
The sex abuse scandal enveloping the Catholic Church moved closer to Pope Benedict XVI today with revelations that in the 1990s the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger failed to defrock an American priest who molested hundreds of deaf boys, despite receiving letters from a number of American bishops pleading with him to act.
Caption from a photo published in 1958 prior to the Conclave of Pope Pius XII: “Pigeon perches on Cardinal’s Cap – Genoa, Italy – Giuseppe Cardinal Siri, Archbishop of Genoa, remained unperturbed when a pigeon perched on his cap as he celebrated Mass in the arena of the Orfei Circus here. The pigeon was one of a flock released in tribute to the Cardinal. The Mass, said on an altar set up in the center ring of the Big Top, was attended by circus entertainers and a crowd of Genoese.”
The words “pigeon” and “dove” are synonymous. Siri’s dove was white. The dove landing on a papabile has always been understood to be the indication of the choice of the Holy Spirit to be Pope. According to a knowledgeable Italian priest who had conferred with Cardinal Siri, this conservative bloc was actually successful in electing Siri on the fourth ballot of the first day of the conclave, October 26, 1958, which is the feast day of Pope and martyr, Saint Evaristus, the fifth Pope of the Church. Siri, who was the fifth Pope elected this century, is said to have promptly accepted the office and announced that he would take the name “Gregory XVII.” Then, a shrill storm of protest was heard from the reformers, who jumped to their feet to intimidate the new Pope with the threat that they would immediately establish an international schismatic church, were he to emerge from the conclave as pope. Badly shaken, Siri is supposed to have replied: “if you do not want me, then elect someone else” By this one statement, which was taken as his abdication, would come the apocalyptic catastrophe that so quickly engulfed the Church.

Michael Collins Piper and Jim Condit Jr. discuss a chapter in Piper’s book, The Judas Goats, which deals with the late, double agent Malachi Martin and the subversion of the Roman Catholic Church since 1958. Piper is the only author since 1958 to treat this subject in a whole chapter in a major book from the correct angle. Also, the attack by the Southern Poverty Law Institute against twelve Catholic organizations, which happened one day earlier, is discussed. (The date of the interview is January 18, 2007)

Malachi Martin and the Crisis in the Catholic Church since 1958
The special guest on the January 18 edition of Michael Collins Piper’s nightly forum on the Republic Broadcasting Network at rbnlive.com was veteran political activist and Traditionalist Catholic James Condit, Jr. Condit joined Piper to discuss the outrageous intrigues of the late Father Malachi Martin who was the subject of a chapter in Piper’s new book, THE JUDAS GOATS, which analyzes Zionist infiltration of the American nationalist movement and which detailed (based on Condit’s research and that of others) the little-known story of how Father Martin, a priest working high up in the Vatican, acted as an agent of Zionist interests during the Vatican II “reform” conference of the early 1960s bending the doctrines of the Catholic Church to accord with the demands of the Zionist interests. Amazingly, Martin later was annointed by the Zionist-controlled mass media as a”critic” of the very so-called “reforms” that he had helped bring about at the direction of his Zionist handlers. Piper and Condit pointed out that the first evidence of Zionist infiltration of the Vatican came in a LOOK magazine article in 1966 entitled “How the Jews Changed Catholic Thinking.” However, LOOK did not identify Martin as the Zionist agent. It did mention, though, that the Zionist agent had written a book under a pseudonym, “Michael Serafian.” It was some years later that that pseudonym was revealed to be a pen-name for none other than Malachi Martin. So there is no question that Martin was a Zionist agent. Just recently, Condit pointed out, the depraved pro-Zionist Southern Poverty Law Center of Morris Dees, which acts as an adjunct of the Zionist Anti-Defamation League, had published a broadside attacking traditionalist Catholic organizations that have been critical of Zionism and of its role in warping traditional,historic, ancient original Catholic Church doctrine. In other Piper noted that Father Martin, during his final days, was active in financing an organization, the Institute for Historical Review (IHR), that had, itself been infiltrated from within, and then used to destroy Liberty Lobby, the longtime Washington populist Institution that published The SPOTLIGHT newspaper for which Piper wrote for many years. Piper himself learned of Martin’s financial support for the IHR from a press release issued by Mark Weber of the IHR following Martin’s death in which Weber bragged of Martin’s secret backing of the IHR during the time that it was being used to attack Liberty Lobby. Later Weber pulled that information about Martin’s backing of the IHR from the IHR website apparently after having been tipped off that Piper was preparing to blow the whistle on Martin’s Zionist connections, based on material published by Lawrence T. Patterson of CRIMINAL POLITICS magazine. In fact, it was Piper’s guest, James Condit Jr., who had been involved in preparing the expose of Martin’s role as a “priest-spy for Zionism” inside the Vatican. Piper noted also that Martin’s close friend, pro-Zionist former CIA agent William F. Buckley, Jr. and Buckley’s own former CIA colleague, E. Howard Hunt, had waged two unsuccessful lawsuits to destroy Liberty Lobby only to have their efforts derailed by outspoken anti-Zionist attorney Mark Lane. Later, the intriguers regrouped and under the direction of yet another CIA figure, Andrew Allen, took over the IHR and used it to destroy Liberty Lobby in yet another lawsuit that succeeded in bankrupting Liberty Lobby. So it was a known Zionist agent, Malachi Martin, who was collaborating with those who destroyed Liberty Lobby. In any case, Piper’s guest, Condit, pointed that the story of how the Vatican has been undermined from within has parallels to the same way that similar Zionist water-carriers inside the Protestant churches—such as Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson—have also engaged in similar intrigues. The lessons of the dangers of such “Judas Goats” need to be examined in detail in order to understand how the Zionists engage in hard-core political wrecking operations designed to undercut all forms of Christian religions, yesterday and today.

Sedevacantism (full wiki page here) is the position held by a minority of Traditionalist Catholics who claim that the Papal See has been vacant since either the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958 or Pope John XXIII in 1963.
Sedevacantists believe that Paul VI (1963–1978), John Paul I (1978), John Paul II (1978–2005) and Benedict XVI(since 2005) have been neither true Catholics nor true Popes, by virtue of allegedly having espoused the heresy of Modernism, or of having otherwise denied or contradicted solemnly defined Catholic dogmas. Some of them classify John XXIII (1958–1963) also as a Modernist antipope.
The term “sedevacantism” is derived from the Latin phrase sede vacante, which literally means “the seat being vacant”, the seat in question being that of a bishop. A specific use of the phrase is in the context of the vacancy of the Holy See between the death or resignation of a Pope and the election of his successor. “Sedevacantism” as a term in English appears to date from the 1980s, though the movement itself is older.[1]
Some small groups of Traditionalist Catholics give allegiance to alternative Popes of their own. Since they hold that the Holy See is headed by their nominee and therefore is not in fact vacant, they are not sedevacantists in the strict sense, and are sometimes called “conclavists“. However, the term “sedevacantist” is often applied to them because they reject the generally accepted papal succession.
