(LifeSiteNews) — Father Charles Murr recently discussed the infiltration of Freemasonry into the highest levels of the Vatican, the mysterious death of Pope John Paul I, and how history is repeating itself with the allegedly forced resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the installation of liberal bishops by Popes Francis and Leo XIV.
During an interview on the WORLDCA$T YouTube channel, which premiered October 8, Fr. Murr discussed the Masonic infiltration of the Vatican in the 1970s following the appointment of Cardinal Sebastiano Baggio, the prefect of the Congregation for Bishops who Murr has claimed was a 33rd-degree Mason, and Baggio’s alleged role in the death of Pope John Paul I just 33 days into his pontificate. This is the subject of Murr’s book, Murder in the 33rd Degree: The Gagnon Investigation into Vatican Freemasonry.
Toward the end of the interview, Murr emphasized that history is repeating itself today, claiming Pope Benedict’s 2013 resignation was forced and discussing how that resignation marked the liberal reshaping of the episcopate under Pope Francis and now Pope Leo XIV. The priest also noted that Francis’ final prefect of the Congregation for Bishops was the future Leo XIV, then-Cardinal Robert Prevost.

“Today all of this is repeating itself. After the resignation of Pope Benedict — which was forced, forced by men inside the Vatican — they began remaking the episcopate across the whole world. The new bishops: all liberals. And who was the last man in charge of the Congregation for Bishops? Robert Prevost of Chicago, Cardinal Prevost, who became Pope Leo, the new Pope.”

“Today, all of that (infiltration) is repeating itself. After the resignation of Pope Benedict, who was forced by men in the Vatican to resign, they began to remake the episcopate throughout the world. The new bishops (are) all liberals,” Murr said. “And the last person in charge of the Congregation for Bishops, who was it? Robert Prevost from Chicago. Cardinal Prevost, who came to be Pope Leo.”
“All the bishops that the Vatican is appointing, all of them, are liberals. There is a very big conflict, a war that is happening within the Church that could’ve happened under Paul VI and John Paul II, but it is happening today. With the majority mentality of the liberal bishops ‘changing the Church from within.'”

Murr continued with a word of encouragement, reminding viewers that despite the deep infiltration of the Church, Our Lord will win in the end.
“How is it going to end? I only know one thing: Christ is going to win. I have His word that He will be with the Church until the end of time,” the priest said. “How will the salvation of this Church that is in crisis come about? I do not know… but I do know that it will be remedied, that is called faith… And I have faith in Christ, my Christ is no liar, what He said will come to pass.”
