Among the claims made by Marcantonio Colonna in The Dictator Pope: the Inside Story of the Francis Papacy, (Regnery, 2018), is that the Pope helped finance the Clinton election campaign as the Pope did not want Donald Trump, who on the face of it was opposed to the insane globalism of the Pope, to win. The money came from Peter’s Pence which was supposed to help the needy – you know, migrants. According to Colonna:
“Those who are shocked to hear Francis described as a dictator would not question the fact that he is the most politically minded pope to come to the throne for many centuries. This characterization is not a libel of his enemies but is emphasised by so unqualified an admirer as Austen Ivereigh. We need to understand that the key to Francis’s reckless style—the indifference to reform, the tyrannical acts, the feverish quest for popular approval—is that his prime concern is not in fact the government of the Church.
