I'm so grateful to read this explanation of the inner workings of the Church which you have brought to us through your persistence and obvious belief that Catholics should know how their church works and have a right to feel part of it.
If only your view were shared by all the characters you contacted in your search for the truth!
It's absolutely clear that the consistory was subjected to an unhealthy controlling influence which aimed to manipulate its outcome.
May your work, which we support with our prayers, help free the Petrine office from this embarrasing subversion.
As i read this i have to wonder why such tight timelines? Why such rushed schedules? I would expect extraordinary meetings like this to go on for at least a week. (Not even a conclave lasts that long) but should the Cardinals not take the time to reflect, pray, dialog?
Instead This all feels like a conference in some random hotel.
I wish that the Vatican would communicate CLEARLY and UNAMBIGUOUSLY regarding all information and activities announced from whoever-it-is that speaks for the Vatican.
If only there was a courageous whistleblower to reveal the truth of what’s behind the curtain.
Diane, thank you for this good reporting, and for all your efforts to get at the truth of what took place - who communicated what, and who made the decisions, i.e., the specifics. Please persist. It's important to know whether any individuals (and who, in particular) are trying to obstruct the Holy Father's own decisions about how things should actually happen.
Fascinating. If indeed the outcome was predetermined, then it is not a surprise that the format of tightly managed and scripted interactions was chosen (typical of your average Marxist NGO). After all, why take any risks when all you need to do is go through the motions and keep up the appearances of open dialogue? Has anyone tallied up the carbon footprint for the whole event? Probably too painful for those struggling with their ecological conversion. The palace intrigue as to who is calling the shots deepens.
What you saw with the small group tables was the Delphi Technique which was developed by the Rand Corporation. It has been a staple of radical leftists in the Church for decades to produce the false appearance of consensus.
Thank you very much, Mrs Montagna, for this good detective’s work.
The Lord commanded: « Remove this from here: do not make the house of My Father into a house of negotiation » (Jn 2:16).
What is going on is very similar to UN-type negotiating fora. What is more, conversations in the spirit are a New Age practice that links one to demons rather than the Third Person of the Holy Trinity.
One way to fight against these anti-Catholic practices would be to organise a Rosary crusade in Rome at the same time as the next conclave.
This sounds like a disaster or a comedy routine like Sergeant “I know nothing, nothing” Schultz. Maybe more like Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First.”
Pope Leo should just drop this boondoggle of synodality.
It appears that experienced Vatican operatives might be taking advantage of the still new Pope Leo in order to achieve their goals. Diane Montagna has done a great service here, and Raymond Cardinal Burke's outdpoken response to Ms. Montagna's questions is most welcome.
“Why was a traditional format replaced at the last minute—and by whom?”
It was replaced by the Lavender Mafia Deep Church controlling the papacy and the Vatican so that they can continue to undermine 2,000 years of doctrine and morals.
BREAKING: Pope Leo has announced that he will NOT visit the United States during Trump's Presidency. Even missing the 250th Anniversary of America, his home country. Critics are calling this "petty" and "political." Should the Pope put politics aside?
Progressivism flips the board on the Founders’ original intent. “Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence, and hence our form of government,” Thomas explained. “It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from the government,” and “requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with the Constitution.”

Presumably the timing of the consistory is connected to the SSPX consecrations on 1st July, a couple of days later.
Vatican II Church is not Catholic.
SSPX isn't Catholic either.
The consecration issue really doesn't matter, except as distraction and a grand show that these two evil organizations are actually Catholic.
Both are Arks of Damnation.
(And, if some poor SSPX wants to say they're in union with v2 Church, granted. It Doesn't Matter.
Ark of Damnation, ok. Instead of 2

That strikes a cord with me. Francis was a troublesome man in the post of Pope.

It all sounds like a version of the "Delphi Method" (or "Delphi Technique"):

“Why was a traditional format replaced at the last minute—and by whom?”
It was replaced by the Lavender Mafia Deep Church controlling the papacy and the Vatican so that they can continue to undermine 2,000 years of doctrine and morals.
Our Founders were freemasons, atheists, and Catholic-Haters

A true Pope should never grant a Friendly visit any country that wasn't a CATHOLIC CONFESSIONAL STATE
Presently every nation I can think of Confesses Satan.
America,,67 million butchered babies. One nation under satan.. And I LOVE AMERICA

And here with Supreme Court Justice Thomas naming progressivism as perverse
