Disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and right-wing firebrand Steve Bannon plotted to “take down” Pope Francis, according to explosive new Department of Justice filings.
The sinister duo allegedly explored ways to oust the Pontiff from the Vatican, targeting his progressive stances on social issues.
The plot involved a high-stakes media hit job designed to force a “regime change” at the heart of the Catholic Church.
According to the DOJ documents, Bannon—the former Trump advisor and self-styled populist mastermind—reached out to Epstein with a specific mission.
He wanted the billionaire financier to produce a documentary based on the bombshell book In the Closet of the Vatican.
The book, which details allegations of a secret gay subculture among the high-ranking clergy, was to be used as “leverage” to destabilize the Pope’s leadership.
The Goal: To weaponize the Church’s internal scandals against Francis.
The Ask: Bannon reportedly courted Epstein’s deep pockets and global connections to bring the project to life.
The Target: Pope Francis’s “woke” agenda, which has long been a thorn in the side of traditionalist hardliners.
A Dark Collaboration
While Bannon has long been a vocal critic of the current Pope, the involvement of Jeffrey Epstein adds a chilling new dimension to the story.
The filings suggest that the two men explored various avenues to “oust” the Holy Father, viewing his papacy as a roadblock to their ideological goals.
The revelation raises massive questions about the extent of Epstein’s influence in political and religious circles even as he was under the microscope for his horrific crimes.
”They weren’t just talking about a movie,” a source close to the investigation suggested. “They were talking about a coup.”
Why They Targeted the Pope
Since his election in 2013, Pope Francis has pivoted the Vatican away from hardline dogma toward a focus on climate change, migration, and LGBTQ+ inclusivity.
This “progressive” shift infuriated conservative power-players like Steve Bannon, who views the Church as a key battleground in the global “culture war.”
By teaming up with Jeffrey Epstein, Bannon sought to use the financier’s resources to amplify a scandal that would make the Pope’s position untenable.
