“Julia Meloni’s new book The St. Gallen Mafia provides a valuable service to readers curious about the origins of the current pontificate. Drawing on a wide range of sources, she fills in the picture of the St. Gallen Mafia, a group of influential liberal prelates who plotted for years to elect a progressive-minded pope.”

a tale of intrigue with an ominous but still uncertain outcome
Julia Meloni does not rely on Vatican gossip to expose the secretive group of self-styled reformers who installed Pope Francis and outlined the agenda he is following. 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. Two 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. Confronting a victim of clerical abuse, Cardinal Danneels demanded, "What do you really want?" 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.

The St. Gallen Mafia
Julia Meloni confirms the issues that high ranking clergy in the Vatican have told me first hand. This is just another element of the errors or Russia that have spread. This book helps me to see the need to make reparation for my sins and the sins of the members of the Church.

Very revealing!
So sad to read how these cardinals are trying and succeeding to infiltrate and change our Catholic religion.

Cardinal Martini lives in Pope Francis
This might be the most important resource for the informed Catholic who doesnt have their head in the sand at this time in the Church. It might also be the best way to open the eyes of those Catholics who do. Julia Melonia does a masterful job of showing the documented proof that the Synod on synodality unfolding within the Church right now is as the late Cardinal Pell described as a toxic nightmare that the Church must free itself from in his last testament after his sudden passing. It also provides concrete documented proof that back door politics within the highest ranking members of the magisterium in papal conclaves are as corrupt as those in jaded democratic governments of the western culture. Although the Holy Spirit is present at every moment of the Churchs life this recorded event illustrates that men of free will can actively reject cooperating with Gods will to bring about the reality of a man made agenda being implemented under the outward appearances of the visible structure of a divine institution. There actual conspiracy to undermine the Church made in His image and likeness and transform it into their own is well underway. May divine intervention stop this insidious plot to destroy the Church from within for the sake of the Remnant of committed Catholics that still hold the actual faith and have had the fortitude to stay within the Ark amidst its greatest storm in its 2000 year history.
