John Gizzi, formerly a writer for Human Events, is currently the chief political columnist and White House correspondent for Newsmax.
Yesterday, Dec. 7, Gizzi reported for Newsmax, “Vatican Preps for Conclave as ‘Pope Is Dying“.
The brief article is behind a paywall, which you can access for $1.
According to Novus Ordo Watch:
Gizzi writes that a “secretary of one of the most powerful Vatican Cardinals” told him straightfowardly: “Pope Francis is dying.” Furthermore, Gizzi asserts that sources inside the Vatican do not expect Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) to see the end of next year, 2022, and are in “pre-Conclave mode”.
Without more details, one can only speculate as to what exactly the situation is, but apparently Francis is said to be terminally ill and not expected to live another 13 months for that reason. A diagnosis has not been revealed or rumored, but colon cancer would be a possibility, considering Bergoglio’s colon surgery back in early July. At the time, some Vaticanists expressed concern that this surgery had not been announced days or weeks in advance, as would have been customary….
The question at issue, then, is whether it is Francis and the Vatican public relations machine that are downplaying the reality, or whether certain officials in the Vatican are exaggerating it, perhaps due to wishful thinking. Time will surely tell.
Last July 7, Luis Badilla Morales of the Francis-friendly and well-connected Italian Novus Ordo blog Il Sismografo reported that Francis’ condition was more serious than the Vatican was letting on: “the disease that has struck Pope Francis is severe and degenerative. It could also be chronic.”

We can only hope that the next Pope will lead the people back to path’s of righteousness. I would not wish to stand in his shoes when he stands before God to answer for how he conducted his mission while on this Earth. Being a world leader who is looked to by both Catholics and non-Catholics alike for some semblance of guidance, yet the people have not found in this Pope guidance which would lead them back to their God. I am left wondering if he inwardly feels any remourse for the course he had taken?
So much for his aspirations of becoming the False Prophet – I don’t believe he’ll become that, but Franky sure gives it his best shot at every opportunity.
I am absolutely convinced that Francis is an antipope. I also concluded, long ago, that Benedict is still the one and only living Pope, given that his resignation was not properly rendered, and that he was under duress or coercion.
Be that as it may, I have read of two cardinals who could be worse than Bergoglio. They are Parolin of Italy and Tagle of the Philippines. (Come to think of it, I think Dolan of New York would be pretty awful, also).
We must pray that God allow us to have a good man to succeed Francis whom, in my opinion, doesn’t even believe in God!
I read a posting on another website years ago by someone who knows Latin well that Pope Benedict XVI in his official resignation document (in Latin) had signed over to Jorge Bergoglio the “active duties” of the papacy but NOT the office of the papacy itself. // As to how closely Bergoglio represents the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church, one can read numerous detailed and extensive entries on the “Call Me Jorge” blog. I’ll stop there. //
