Leo XIV Chosen to Preserve Francis’ Revolution – Cardinal

“I am in favour of moving ahead quickly with the ordination of women to the diaconate,” English Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe OP, 80, told Telegraph.co.uk on January 6.

On female priests, he added that it is “complicated”: “It’s not the most important question. Ordination to the priesthood isn’t the big priority. It has to be done with the consent of the whole Church.”

Beautiful Touching Between Elderly Men

Cardinal Radcliffe is a friend of the late Pope Francis. In 2016, while recovering from an operation on his jaw following a cancer diagnosis, he attended a conference in Rome with the then pope:

“He came over and rested his forehead on my forehead for about 30 seconds. Nothing was said. It was beautiful.”

Leo XIV in Continuity with Francis, but Better Manners

Pope Leo XIV was elected partly “to bring back people who had been alienated by Francis”, and partly to continue his predecessor’s work.

"We chose Leo because he could do both – he could move it on but also gather people in", Cardinal Radcliffe believes.

He describes Leo XIV as a “deeply still” person: “He doesn’t react off the hip, he listens, and he has a great ability to mediate.”

Homosexual Eucharists: "You Are All Going to Hell"

Cardinal Radcliffe was involved in the founding of the homosexual Eucharist “Soho Masses” in London in 2013: “There were demonstrators there telling us that we were all going to Hell,” he remembers.

“People kept saying that I campaigned for gay rights, but I was just saying, ‘You’re welcome’. Everybody has their home in the Church – I wasn’t doing anything radical.”

“There Has Been a Homosexual Pope”

Cardinal Radcliffe believes that a homosexual man could be pope.

“I’m sure there has been one already! I’ve no idea who. But I don’t think people’s sexual identity is particularly important. I’m not worried about somebody being homosexual – I’d be worried if they didn’t love anybody.”

shut up!! crazy man!!! what are you talking about!!!! Our orthodox doctrine absolutely cannot tolerate LGBT or the promotion of indiscriminate abortion Ideologies!! If that's how you view LGBT people, why are you silent about the brutal and ruthless oppression of LGBT people, Christian communities, and religious minorities by the extremist Islamists? You filthy heretic Cardinal Radcliffe!! Radcliffe, do you think it's right for the West to threaten to cut aid to African Christian nations (Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Kenya, Tanzania, etc.) and all the brave nations that stand firmly against LGBT and indiscriminate abortion-promoting ideologies, and to demand that they accept those ideologies? This applies not only to Radcliffe, but to all the heretical cardinals, bishops, and all heretics...
It is truly absurd that those who so loudly proclaim their commitment to helping the poor, the marginalized, the weak, the sick, and the disabled should turn a blind eye to the outrageous threat the West poses to the developing world... It's absurd that such an evil, heretical cardinal led the meditations at this Extraordinary Consistory... We should no longer entertain the delusion that we must wait for Prevost, that we must give him time... It was all Prevost's decision and his initiative. To think that Prevost, who does such things, will later defend orthodoxy and spread the truth is nothing but a mad delusion... Now we all need to understand clearly: Prevost is nothing more than a new type of erroneous pope, chosen to solidify his errors while pretending to be slightly better than Bergoglio...If we continue to do nothing, falling into the delusion that we must simply wait and see, I am convinced that the errors of Bergoglio and Prevost will become the new orthodoxy, and that until the time of Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI, they will be relegated to a corner of a museum as a legacy of an old era...
Rather than praying for the Provost's repentance, we should abandon such thoughts altogether. We did so during Bergoglio's disastrous 12-year reign, but what was the result? Bergoglio appointed countless heretical cardinals and bishops until his death, passing away without any sign of repentance. We must clearly recognize that Bergoglio's 12-year reign was meaningless, abandon passive attitudes, and fight resolutely against the Provost. I heard that only 170 out of 245 cardinals attended, which is fewer than the number who attended the cardinal's congregation held during the 2025 conclave period... While some orthodox cardinals may have attended with good intentions and expectations, I believe those who did not attend did far better, even setting aside issues like health or old age. It was a waste of airfare... Even if we're a small minority, even if we're just one person, I firmly believe that it's important to walk the right path. How glorious it would be if even one person could walk the right path! and then... until the moment our Lord Jesus Christ allows, whether it is now or tomorrow, we must fight against all false ideologies and defend Orthodox teachings and the true truth!! Lord Sacred Heart of Jesus.. have mercy on us... please protect to your Holy Catholic Church.. Holy Mary, all Angels and Saints.. pray for us.. Amen...

They are with one foot in the grave and yet they remain recalcitrant enemies of Jesus Christ

This dried up old prune knows nothing about anything.

Matthew 15:13
“Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.” : Matthew 23:8 “You have only one Teacher.” Galatians 1:8-9 : "But even if we or an Angel from Heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel other than what you have received, let him be accursed."

Yes...diabolical revolution to overthrow perennial Church teaching

Not bad for an Anglican!
