Many in the Roman Catholic world have been concerned about the upcoming conclave to elect the next pope.
Here is a report from a Roman Catholic source about potential candidates:
May 6, 2025
After a week of gathering momentum, the swell of support behind Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost appears to have stalled, with Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga reportedly leaving Rome in frustration after failing to secure unanimous backing for him among Latin American cardinals — with some even said to be favoring the African Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo.
Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, too, appears to have hit a ceiling in the pre-conclave general congregations, with solid support among other Asian cardinals, but failing to make a decisive breakthrough among the global body and convince them he could govern with the same strength with which he preaches.
European cardinals appear to be splitting their votes several ways, with “conservatives” mostly gravitating towards Hungarian Cardinal Péter Erdő, and more liberal voices increasingly giving France’s Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline consideration.
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, long pitched as the natural centrist compromise candidate, has seen his support ebb amid reflections on his record as both a curial administrator and Vatican diplomat.
In short, contrary to the expectations of received wisdom, the more the cardinals have tried to get to know each other over their two weeks in Rome, the farther they seem to have moved from any kind of consensus on who should be the next pope. https://www.pillarcatholic.com/p/enter-cardinal-mamberti
There are also two men I am watching which were not in the above list. Furthermore, Hungarian Cardinal Péter Erdő looks to be one to watch, because of the Malachy prophecy of ‘Peter the Roman’ as well as Hungary’s tie to the ‘Holy Roman Empire.’
Cardinal Raymond Burke, who long had issues with Pope Francis, raised concerns about who might be the next pope. NewsMax reported the following related to a video he made:
Cardinal Burke Video: Church in ‘Great Danger’ as Conclave Meets
One of the late Pope Francis‘ critics, Cardinal Raymond Burke, is warning about “great trial and danger” in the Catholic Church in a new video he released on his social media as the Conclave sets to meet this Wednesday.
“I plead for the church at the time of great trial and danger for her,” Cardinal Burke says in a prayer he reads kneeling before an altar, where he appealed to Our Lady of Guadelupe to intervene and aid the Cardinals in selecting the next Pontiff.
“Please intercede for the sacred college of Cardinals gathered in Rome to elect the successor of St. Peter, Vicar of Christ, shepherd for the universal church. …
Burke … is considered one of the strongest traditionalists in the coming Conclave and publicly disagreed with a number of Pope Francis’ controversial positions, including priestly blessings for same-sex couples. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/vatican-cardinal-burke/2025/05/04/id/1209507/
The next pope may be the one that the Bible prophesies who “had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon” (Revelation 13:11).
People, including cardinals, should not be praying to the ‘Lady of Guadalupe’ for anything. That said, the ‘Lady of Guadalupe’ actually was a major factor in much of Latin American becoming Roman Catholic.
Related to aspects of that, the Continuing Church of God put out the following video on our Bible New Prophecy YouTube channel:
13:26
This was videoed at the oldest continuous shrine in the USA for the ‘Lady of Guadalupe.’ What was this all about? Did Jesus’ mother Mary appear there? Would Mary have said what the ‘Lady of Guadalupe’ said? How has this apparition affected the Western Hemisphere? Might the ‘Lady’ have prophetic ramifications?
A written article of related interest is titled: The ‘Lady’ of Guadalupe: Any Future Ramifications?
Here is a link to our video: The ‘Lady of Guadalupe’ and Prophecy.
Getting back to Cardinal Burke, he made a warning against something that Pope Francis was doing back in 2019:
Cardinal Burke: Pope would be leading a schism if he endorsed errors in Amazon Synod working doc
Cardinal Raymond Burke, one of the Church’s most outspoken defenders of perennial Catholic teaching, suggested that Pope Francis could be leading a “schism” if he were to put his “stamp” of approval on the Amazon Synod’s controversial working document that has been criticized by top-ranking prelates, including Burke, as constituting apostasy, heresy, and “false teaching”. …
“While the final document [from the Amazon Synod which concluded Oct. 27] is less explicit in the embrace of pantheism, it does not repudiate the statements in the working document which constitute an apostasy from the Catholic faith,” stated Burke.
“The working document doesn’t have doctrinal value. But what if the pope were to put his stamp on that document? People say if you don’t accept that, you’ll be in schism — and I maintain that I would not be in schism because the document contains elements that defect from the apostolic tradition. So my point would be the document is schismatic. I’m not.”
Douthat then pressed Burke to explain the implications of the Pope backing a document that is schismatic, stating: “But how can that be possible? You’re effectively implying that the pope would be leading a schism.”
To which Burke replied: “Yes.”
Douthat then asked: “Isn’t that a deep contradiction of how Catholics think about the office of the papacy?”
Burke responded: “Of course. Exactly. It’s a total contradiction. And I pray that this wouldn’t happen. And to be honest with you, I don’t know how to address such a situation. As far as I can see, there’s no mechanism in the universal law of the church to deal with such a situation.” …
Cardinal Burke told a Catholic conference in Detroit on Oct. 26 that “there is no question that the Church is currently experiencing one of the greatest crises which she has ever known.” 11/11/19 https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cardinal-burke-pope-francis-would-be-leading-a-schism-if-he-endorsed-amazon-synod-working-doc
Perhaps it should be pointed out that Cardinal Burke also warned about the Amazonian Synod before it began (see Pope Francis invites religious, political leaders to sign ‘Global Pact’ for ‘new humanism’: Prelude to a schism or the Antichrist?).
While pontiff, Francis basically has ignored protests as he pushed his interfaith and ecumenical agendas. Notice also:
Pope Francis signs ‘one world religion’ document!
On February 4, 2019, at the ‘ Global Conference on Human Fraternity,’ Pope Francis and leading Sunni Imam Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb signed a document that some suspect may lead towards a “one world religion.” The World Council of Churches (WCC) General Secretary, Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, who also attended, pushed for religious leaders and institutions to push towards a particular cooperative agenda to help bring world peace. Will there be real peace or just a temporary one? Will destruction come to the USA and nations in the Middle East and North Africa? What will be some characteristics of this “one world religion’? Will all have the same religious practices? Might it have commonalities with the ancient Roman Empire? The Grand Mosque in the UAE was renamed “Mary, Mother of Jesus.” Will Catholic, Islamic, and even Hindu reverence for Marian figures play a role? Is that part of the plan? Should real Christians support the interfaith and ecumenical agendas or remain separate from them? What does the Bible teach? What did Jesus teach? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to that video: Pope Francis signs ‘one world religion’ document!
One symbol that the Vatican used for an interfaith conference was a ‘Chrislam Cross.’ We also put together a related video related to the Chrislam Cross and the interfaith movement:
What is Chrislam? What are the two forms of it? Did the Vatican unveil the Chrislam Cross? How does it look? Are Christianity and Islam theologically compatible? What does the ‘Catechism of the Catholic Church’ say? What about the Bible and the Quran? Did Pope Francis and Sunni Imam Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb sign an important interfaith document on February 4, 2019? Do biblical and Islamic prophecies point to a deal between the Europeans and Arabs that will be broken? Do Catholic and Islamic writings support the view that Mary and/or apparitions of ‘Mary’ may lead to temporary cooperation between the Arabs and Europeans? Will such cooperation bring lasting peace or war? Have any of the Eastern Orthodox warned of the danger in using ‘Mary’ to push the interfaith and ecumenical movements? Is there a ‘Mary, Mother of Jesus mosque? Should you wish to be part of the Chrislam movement? What does the Bible teach? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to the sermonette video: The Chrislam Cross and the Interfaith Movement.
Related to this Amazonian Synod and pagan female images, we put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Vatican’s Babylonian Amazonian Religion
In front of Pope Francis, on October 4, 2019, the Vatican hosted an Amazonian tree-planting ceremony in where people bowed down to a circle around to semi-naked pagan female images. Vatican News promoted this. Some Catholics are concerned that the Amazonian synod is leading to two Catholic faiths: the traditional one and one that is being called the “Amazonian Religion.” The Vatican has also been promoting an interfaith agenda with the Jews and Muslims with the “Higher Committee of Human Fraternity,” and its first major project, the “Abrahamid Family House” (which is set to open in 2022). Are these good things for Christians? WIll they lead to the rise of Babylonian Beast and Antichrist power? What does the Bible warn about this? Do both the Bible and certain Catholic writings show that the Church of Rome will be betrayed by powers it will align with? Is some type of one world religion being worked on? If so, is the Vatican, World Council of Churches, certain Muslims, and the United Nations involved? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to our video: Vatican’s Babylonian Amazonian Religion.
Pope Francis took other steps after that Amazonian Synod as well. So here is a link to another BNP video:
Pachamama: Pope Francis declares Black Madonna
An Amazonian synod was held in the Vatican in October 2019 that featured naked female statues called Pachamama. On October 31, 2019, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis declared a new ‘holiday’ for the Black Madonna known as the Lady of Loreto. This is to observed by those who follow that on December 10th each year. What are “Black Madonnas” vs. “black Madonnas”? Are there ties between Black Madonnas and black female “Mother Earth” goddesses? Could the promotion of Black Madonnas and Pachamamas be related to steps towards a one world religion? Did a Catholic archbishop state that Pope Francis is moving “towards an Indistinct Universal religion” and a “worldwide and stateless Pantheon? Should real Christians be part of this? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link: Pachamama Pope Francis declares Black Madonna.
Some have hinted that Pope Francis is an antipope. Back in November 2014, we put out the following video where we also mentioned Raymond Burke:
16:34
Some cardinals and other members of the Roman Catholic clergy are concerned that Pope Francis has deviated from its traditional positions on matters such as homosexuality, salvation, fornication, remarriage, and other doctrines. Australian Cardinal George Pell even mentioned ‘antipopes’ when discussing Pope Francis. North American Cardinal Raymond Burke has raised many concerns about Francis’ pontificate. Did Catholic saints teach that popes could become heretics? Will the final pope not be Catholic? Is an ecumenical pontiff possibly the final Antichrist? What do both biblical, and even Roman Catholic, prophecies warn about? Could Pope Francis be an antipope and final Antichrist?
Here is a link to our video: Anti-Pope Francis?
In 2019, I posted:
While, in a sense Pope Francis is functioning like an antipope, he is either setting the stage for more of one to follow or he will become much more of one in the future.
What he has been doing is a prelude to the coming final Antichrist.
Pope Francis has been setting the antipope/antichrist stage by openly pushing views that contradict aspects of the Roman Catholic “living Magisterium” (which is the accepted “tradition” that is supposed to define Catholic doctrine and practice).
The coming ‘antipope,’ who biblically sounds like the final Antichrist, will not only reject scripture, but will betray the Church of Rome.
Pope Francis is setting a precedent.
Biblical prophecies show that Rome (cf. Revelation 17:1-9, 18) will be betrayed (Revelation 17:16-18) and that the Antichrist/False Prophet will survive that betrayal until Jesus returns (Revelation 19:19-20).
Let me pointed out that biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies warn of betrayal of the Church of Rome by some ecclesiastical authority who sounds like an antipope.
If the next pope “performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. … he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast” (Revelation 13:13-14) he would look to be the one prophesied in Revelation 13:11-17.
