Instead, she meticulously connects the dots in numerous published sources containing bits and pieces of the story she recounts. The result is an intriguing tale filled with convincing (if not exactly comforting) portrayals of the principal players who worked in tandem to replace JPII--and, failing that, to replace Benedict XVI--with a papal candidate friendly to what the pre-Vatican II church had condemned as modernism.\n\nTwo of those figures are especially striking: Milan;s openly heterodox Cardinal Carlo Martini and Mechelen-Brussels; somewhat less openly depraved Cardinal Godfried Danneels. Martini seems to have sketched the agenda for Jorge Bergoglio;s pontificate, Danneels to have set its moral tone. Martini died before the conclave which installed Pope Francis, but Danneels (whom clashes with Belgian authorities had relegated to the shadows) stood proudly by the side of the newly-elected pope as he greeted his flock.\n\nConfronting a victim of clerical abuse, Cardinal Danneels demanded, &quot;What do you really want?&quot; It is a question that must be asked of the St. Gallen Mafia, but not one Meloni can answer in her focused but brief account of their winning strategy. Clearly, the mafia members themselves, like the pope they installed, favor a church in tune with secular ideals, especially sexual freedom. But in what sense would such an institution be Catholic, or even Christian? As the Synod on Synodality begins, that question is very much open.","date":"May 24th 2023"}]},"bulk_discount_rates":[],"meta_keywords":"","show_quantity_input":1,"title":"The St. Gallen Mafia:
