He didn't want to ruin his chances at becoming Pope or lose his positions of influence as archbishop of Genoa or as head of the Italian Bishops Conference. It was recently published recently in an Italian newpaper from his diary “Pius XII said I had to succeed him, and was preparing for me the same system that Pius XI had prepared for him.” Then there was white smoke 2 days before John XXIII but they said it was a mistake. The video of the the smoke is linked below, but of course it would be ridiculous to suggest that he was threatened. Funny how the greatest moral authority on Earth floundered after that particular conclave.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQp00j4H3KgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-40428987655085506042012-07-14T16:31:23.202-04:002012-07-14T16:31:23.202-04:00Cardinals Siri and Ottaviani were true heroes of t...Cardinals Siri and Ottaviani were true heroes of the Church. Also the late Michael Davies, who did so much in his writing to document the madness that was the time after the Council. <br /><br />Add Monsignor Wrenn, whose writings on the failings of catechesis are essential, as well. <br /><br />Review the writings of these fine men, read yet again "The Rhine Flows into the Tiber", by Fr. Wiltgen, and then the Syllabus of Errors, and the Oath Against Modernism.<br /><br />Thus armed, you will be ready to read the writings of any of our bishops, and to discern the true position they have taken. Not only with respect to the liturgy, but with respect to living the faith, including our responsibility as citizens.<br /><br />That many have failed us does nothing to reduce our own responsibility.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858195676825602917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-62649228168126019772012-07-14T14:42:09.412-04:002012-07-14T14:42:09.412-04:00Siri was papabile at no fewer than four conclaves....Siri was papabile at no fewer than four conclaves. It has been suggested that he was elected in 1958 and 1963 but refused to accept the elevation. In 1978 the liberals still saw him as a threat and Basil Hume (Westminster)organized a 'stop Siri' faction.<br /><br />However, it is one thing for senior churchmen to lament the appalling state of affairs, and another to actually do something about it. I admire Giuseppe Siri, but I admire Marcel Lefebvre more. It would be about 1975 that I attended a Mass celebrated by the latter in a function room of the Great Western Hotel, Paddington (no London church would offer him hospitality). He had founded a successful traditional seminary at Econe after first having obtained the permission of the local Ordinary. A later Bishop of Fribourg then tried to pull the plug, and a spineless Curia backed the bishop.<br /><br />He was not the only prelate to be shamefully treated in that dismal decade - witness the way Cardinal Mindszenty was treated.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-73881719634235440942012-07-14T13:16:50.568-04:002012-07-14T13:16:50.568-04:00I have a great respect for Cardinal Siri, he would...I have a great respect for Cardinal Siri, he would have made a great Pope, won't get into that issue! His insight is spot on and we are paying the price today for the progressives irresponsible direction or lack of direction. The Catechism of the 70's was non existent I speak from experience as a student of the Catholic school system of that time.

The laity get confused, don't know how to handle life's situations, and many fall away.<br />When the Shepherd forgets how to shephard, the sheep run amock...<br />When the guardrails are removed, cars drive off the fall off the bridge when a skid occurs...<br /><br />The good news is that the pendulum is swinging back to center, thanks to efforts like those of THIS blog.<br />For some reason God must have decided the Church needed a shake-up, and so He gave it a big giant shove.<br /><br />~SLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
