Messages sent between the pair in 2019, released in last month’s massive document dump, reveal #SteveBannon courted the late sex offender in attempts to undermine the pontiff after leaving the first #Trump admin.
Bannon had been highly critical of #PopeFrancis whom he saw as an opponent to his “sovereigntist” vision, a brand of nationalist populism which swept through Europe in 2018 & 2019. The released #EpsteinFiles from the #DOJ show that #Epstein had been helping Bannon to build his movement.“Will take down (Pope) Francis,” #SteveBannon wrote to #Epstein in June 2019. “The Clintons, Xi, Francis, EU – come on brother.”
#PopeFrancis was a significant obstacle to Bannon’s brand of nationalist populism. In 2018, the #Trump aide described Francis to The Spectator as “beneath contempt,” accusing him of siding with “globalist elites”.

acc/to “SourceMaterial,” #SteveBannon urged Matteo Salvini, now Italy’s deputy prime minister, to “attack” the pontiff. For his part, Salvini has used Christian iconography & language when pursuing his anti-#immigrant agenda.
Rome & the Vatican have been important for Bannon. He set up a Rome bureau when he ran Breitbart News & has been involved in trying to establish a political training “gladiator school” to defend Judaeo-Christian values not far from the Eternal City. [of all people]

Francis, meanwhile, was a counterweight to the Trumpian worldview, strongly critiquing #nationalism & making advocacy for #immigrants a hallmark of his pontificate.
The recently released #DOJ files reveal #Bannon messaged #Epstein on several occasions in his efforts to undermine the late #pope.
In his messages with Epstein, Bannon references “In the Closet of the Vatican,” a 2019 book by French journalist Frédéric Martel that lifted a lid on secrecy & hypocrisy at high levels of the church.

Martel created a storm with his book by claiming 80% of clergy working in the Vatican are gay, while exploring how they keep their sexuality secret.
The whole question of homosexuality in the church has been a lightning rod for some conservatives, who see it as evidence of a deeper, systemic crisis in the church, with some linking it to wider sexual abuse scandals. Experts & researchers view any conflating of sexual orientation with abuse as scientifically inaccurate. [#Epstein is the abuser]

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/14/world/bannon-epstein-take-down-pope-francis-latam-intl?cid=ios_app@Nonilex This needs to be more publicized than it has. People need to understand the level of deceit and plotting that still exists in order to gain control over the world. It sounds extremist but it’s slowly happening while we all sit calmly and watch the distractions like Greenland

#SteveBannon showed an interest in turning Martel’s book into a film after meeting the author in Paris at a five-star hotel. In the messages, Bannon appears to suggest that #Epstein could be the film’s executive producer. “You are now exec producer of ‘ITCOTV’ (In the closet of the Vatican),” Bannon wrote.
[So ludicrous. Make the convicted sex offender the EP of a film demonizing gay priests.]

Didn't Bannon have a bathtub full of acid or something? He was an Epstein buddy but did he DIY his murdering?
We're really starting to see the outlines of who these people are.
It really cannot get more evil than a guy who despises Pope Francis. What I love about Francis and now Leo in his turn is that they are both men of true Christian faith in the best sense of the word but also goddam knife fighters. Bannon and the evil cabal around Epstein can't see who they're dealing with.

…The #EpsteinFiles show #Epstein, on April 1, 2019, emailed himself “in the closet of the vatican,” & later sent #SteveBannon an article titled “Pope Francis or Steve Bannon? Catholics must choose” to which Bannon replies “easy choice.” [delusions of grandeur]
…Bannon was messaging Epstein several years after his 2008 conviction for #ChildSexOffenses & just before he was arrested for the #SexTrafficking of #minors.

Rev. Antonio Spadaro, a Vatican official who collaborated closely with #PopeFrancis, told CNN Bannon’s messages show a desire to fuse “spiritual authority with political power for strategic ends.”
The late pope, Spadaro explains, resisted such a link: “What those messages reveal is not merely hostility toward a pontiff, but a deeper attempt to instrumentalize faith as a weapon – precisely the temptation he sought to disarm.”
