ROME - European and American nationalists attending a conference Tuesday in Rome cheered Brexit, warned of left-wing “totalitarianism” and waxed nostalgic about St. John Paul II’s papacy and the “glorious revolution” that brought down communism. Rising right-wing stars from Italy and France were keynote speakers, and conservative Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban closed out the meeting. Tschugguel stole three statues of pregnant women from a Vatican-area church and threw them in the Tiber River, saying the statues were “pagan“ idols that had been featured at Francis’ Vatican. The stunt encapsulated the conservative and traditionalist opposition to Francis and the threat Francis’ critics believe he poses to the church. It took place on the eve of a Vatican conference on boosting forms of economic solidarity with the poor that features many of the “globalist“ leaders denounced by conservatives.
