The Silence of the Cardinals: A Conspiracy of Calculation
In the shadowy corridors of the Vatican, profound silence speaks volumes. A wise ecclesiastic once declared, “In the Vatican, silence is as important as the word,” illuminating the heart of a deep-seated conspiracy. With the absence of Pope Francis, the cardinals remain tight-lipped, demonstrating the art of strategic silence. As a Galician, I can tell you, they are <mastering the game> of calculated discretion.
There’s an electric tension as the streets buzz with rumors while deep within the curial offices, a desperate struggle unfolds behind closed doors. Some factions, vehemently opposed to Pope Francis, refuse to utter a word—out of fear, or perhaps shame? The tension is palpable, as more than half of the cardinals appointed by his predecessor remain eerily quiet.

The Truth Behind Cardinal Loyalties
Let’s shatter the grand myth: Pope Francis did not merely enjoy the backing of 80% of the cardinals; he commanded their respect, particularly from those initially appointed by Benedict. Contrary to the distorted narratives pushed by left-wing media, Pope Benedict and Pope Francis maintained a bond of mutual admiration. Their silence should echo across the halls of power—tension brews as speculation swirls around the next pope.
- Pope Francis enjoys significant support from cardinals, including those appointed by his predecessor.
- The absence of public dissent speaks volumes about the unity within the Church’s hierarchy.
- Future decisions depend on collegiality, where all influential voices play a role—and some are plotting behind the scenes.
Now, the very essence of the Church hangs in the balance, caught in a tug-of-war between pastoralism and doctrinalism. The narrative isn’t framed in terms of right versus left, but rather a battle for the Church’s very soul. As we’ve seen through the ages, Christianity evolves, adapting through the centuries—from the catacombs to the palaces, this institution mustn’t only survive but thrive in modernity.
The Waiting Game: A Respectful Discourse
In these uncertain times, many cardinals are choosing a **low-profile approach**. Out of respect for the fallen Pope and the traditions of the Church, none are willing to leap into the fray just yet. Cardinal Becciu has broken ranks, but most hold their cards close.
“Who enters as a potato, leaves as a cardinal,”
echoing a powerful sign of respect for their heritage and allegiance.
This is no time for rash proclamations; rather, it is vital to reflect on the traditions that bind the Church. The future is unwritten, and while speculation brews in the media, the cardinals know better than to make a move too soon.
As we wait with bated breath for the next chapter in this high-stakes drama, one thing is perspicaciously clear—the silence of the Cardinals is deafening. What does this mean for the future of the Church? Only time will tell.
