"a Latin american moment" may bring in next pontiff

Where is the prince of darkness lurking as the body of Pope John Paul II lies in state?

Plotting in the background, fomenting for the revolution called liberation theology and looking for cardinal candidates most apt to take up Satan's never ending work.

The prince of darkness would be paving the way for a pope from the same "super force" that the late scholar, Vatican insider and best-selling author Fr. Malachi Martin warned us about.

"anybody who is acquainted with the state of affairs in the Vatican in the last 35 years is well aware that the prince of darkness has had and still has his surrogates in the court of St. Peter in Rome," said Fr. Martin.

Even Nostradamus predicted an anti-Pope for the Vatican.

With politically correct legions helping to advance the secular Culture of Death agenda, this is no time for the cardinal conclave to let their guard down.

according to the Vatican, there is no actual front-runner in the race to replace the Pope of the People. But it is the backdoor that hierarchy should be watching.

Claiming that "a Latin american moment" is a possibility in replacing the pontiff, FT.com Financial Times is suggesting, "the next pope could come from the region that boasts the biggest number of Catholics in the world."

"Certainly, that is what bookmakers believe," writes Richard Lapper, the Times' Latin america editor.

Cardinal Oscar andres Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras is one of the cardinals mentioned as a potential future pope.

Lapper described Rodriguez as a "62-year-old, charismatic left-leaning intellectual who speaks five languages".

In any language, Rodriguez has been soft on the pedophilia plaguing the Catholic Church.
Rodriguez likens the crisis on this issue to the early persecution of the church.

Child molester priests as "victims" like the early Christian martyrs in Rome?

The charismatic cardinal has publicly said he would rather go to jail than turn in one of his priests.

Can this be seen as hinting to molesters, "I will go to bat for you if you back me as Pope"?

Well-rounded in life's pursuits, the archbishop of Tegucigalpa in Honduras plays the piano and studied clinical psychology.

His enthusiasm for being a pilot has earned him a media nickname as "the high flyer from Honduras". Helicopters and light plane are his aircraft of choice. The pope mobile could gather dust under the papacy of Oscar andres Rodriguez de Maradiaga.

There are other candidates for the papacy from Latin america, including Cardinal Jorge Maria Bergoglio, the Jesuit archbishop of Buenos aires and Cardinal Claudio Hummes of Sao Paulo.

But Rodrigues with his long association with Celam, Latin america's council of 22 bishops' conferences, including a stint as Celam president in 1995-99, may hold an edge over them.

Rodriguez's work on the Synod of the americas impressed the Pope and earned him a cardinal's red hat in 2001.

With the United Nations feverishly working on the implementation on an environment-centered one-world religion, the Catholic world needs a serious pope for St. Peter's throne.

The timing of Pope John Paul II's death may have thrown the Culture of Death into the back seat, but the genie's already out of the bottle, and the right-to-die faction is already working on a comeback.
