Lest I forget -
Here's a lengthy blog post,
http://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2018/11/is-pope-francis-nihilist-who-doesnt.html
which seems at first reading to have been well-researched, about someone whose name I never even read about or saw before now but who, it appears from statements made by Bergoglio, is a French Jesuit he considers "the greatest theologian for today' (Sorry, Kasper, Fernandez, Schoenborn - it's not one of you!), Michel de Certeau, who believes there is no "possibility of an objective basis for truth" and that there is no objective meaning or reality. How much more of a nihilist and 'absolute' relativist - and therefore anti-Christ, because anti-Truth - can one be? Bergoglio must have been sniggering when Cardinal Ratzinger gave his famous 'dictatorship of relativism' homily on the eve of the Conclave vote that made him pope (and in which Bergoglio was a runner-up).
And we ended up getting a 'nihilist pope', after all. Who ought to be classed among the most consummate and successful poseurs of all time (until recently, that is, when his mask has appeared to be slipping off very fast, or, to use a more appropriate metaphor, more and more people are coming to realize that this emperor-pope is really naked and all his 'new clothes' are but mutual delusions - by the subject and by those who buy into his delusions.)
Very apropos to the above is something from New Catholic on Rorate caeli today, quoting from a recent biography of Bergoglio:
https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2018/11/blast-from-past-on-bergoglio-pascal-was.html The money quote is this:
Yes, I know Bergoglio [says a Jesuit superior from another Latin American country]. He’s a person who’s caused a lot of problems in the Society and is highly controversial in his own country. In addition to being accused of having allowed the arrest of two Jesuits during the time of the Argentinean dictatorship, as provincial he generated divided loyalties: ]some groups almost worshipped him, while others would have nothing to do with him, and he would hardly speak to them. It was an absurd situation.
He is well-trained and very capable, but is surrounded by this personality cult which is extremely divisive. It will be a catastrophe for the Church to have someone like him in the Apostolic See. He left the Society of Jesus in Argentina destroyed with Jesuits divided and institutions destroyed and financially broken. We have spent two decades trying to fix the chaos that the man left us.”
Paul Vallely
"Pope Francis: Untying the Knots", 2013
"He has an aura of spirituality which he uses to obtain power." That is apparently how he has managed to con all his true believers who cannot think that this 'spirituality' could possibly be nothing but the magician's cape he uses to dissimulate his total nihilism.
