In this explosive episode of Corsi Nation, Dr. Jerome Corsi examines one of the most controversial and closely guarded transitions in modern Church history: the sudden resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the rapid rise of Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio).
Dr. Corsi explores why Pope Benedict’s unprecedented decision to step down in 2013 immediately raised alarms among historians, theologians, and political observers. While Benedict was routinely maligned by legacy media, Pope Francis was simultaneously elevated by those same outlets as a global celebrity figure — celebrated for advancing a political and ideological agenda closely aligned with globalism, socialism, and progressive governance.
The episode also scrutinizes claims that the Francis papacy was not merely a religious transition, but one deeply entangled with political influence, media coordination, and international power structures. Dr. Corsi examines allegations of behind-the-scenes manipulation involving U.S. political actors, the rehabilitation of disgraced former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, and how institutional protection allowed controversial figures to regain prominence.
Joining Dr. Corsi is Mike McCormick, former Biden White House stenographer and author of The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden. McCormick shares firsthand insight into how political influence, intelligence operations, and media coordination intersect — and why the Vatican transition cannot be viewed in isolation from broader global power struggles.
The discussion also addresses how Hollywood and streaming media, including the Netflix-produced film The Two Popes, worked to portray the transition as benign and friendly — a portrayal Dr. Corsi and McCormick argue obscures far deeper institutional conflicts.
This episode asks hard questions about:
The true reasons behind Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation
Media manipulation and narrative control surrounding Pope Francis
Political interference in religious institutions
The protection and promotion of compromised Church figures
The merging of globalist ideology with spiritual authority
