This hideous, radioactive ferula was designed by the modernist artist Lello Scorzelli (1921-1997) for Pope Paul VI, which was used for the first time to close the Vatican Council in 1965.
It had mercifully disappeared for the most part during the reign of Pope Benedict XVI, who replaced it with one used by Saint Pius IX (ora pro nobis) but has now resurfaced as a counterpoise to Pope Francis horizontal, withering pastoral perspectives.
Now it appears that the "bent cross" has broken, as it seems to have been repaired by duct tape in this picture below.
This is singularly symbolic of the Franciscoid pontificate.
Thanks to trusty reader and H/T to Marian Horvath for some details about this ugly thing.

I can think of another use for that duct tape.
How utterly utterly UTTERLY fitting.

A broken ferula for a broken pontificate.
Somehow, I bet the media, the modernists, and soup kitchen theology crowd will find this endearing.
WARNING: ZECHARIAH'S PROPHECY ABOUT THE POPE BROKEN STAFF
Zechariah 11:14-17
Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the family bond between Judah and Israel.
Then the LORD said to me, "Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hooves.
"Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered, his right eye totally blinded!"

The members of St Vincent de Paul derive a great deal of their theology from running soup kitchens.
Feeding the masses comes to mind.
I think some people read to0 much into a broken staff. So it's broken, big deal. But that was a stupid way to fix it. Why didn't they bring the golf one along as well, as a back up.
But it does reflect the shabby mindset of Francis and his goons regarding Catholic liturgy and tradition.
I meant "why didn't they bring the GOLD one..." not "the golf".
Evil omen, it broke under the Cross on the altar, may be the Lord doesn't feel safe in the hands of the BoR....
Shouldn't you be over at Crux attacking Cardinal burke for wearing his cappa magna?
It was most certainly an evil omen, just like the raven attacking the papal dove....and I think anon 6:24 nails it...or rather Zechariah nails it in the eschatological sense of the prophecy. If these aren't the times of great, worldwide apostasy and the fulfillment of Our Lady's words at Fatima, LaSalette, and Akita I'll eat my hat. Francis is so beyond Catholic it's scary....the abomination of desolation in the sanctuary.
Duct tape can also silence a loud mouth.
It was tacky. It was also appropriately amusing. Lighten up.
A bent cross cr crucifix is SATANIC.
Yeah, just like that massive bent Jonn Paul 2 the awesome cross broke and killed a kid last year the day before his "canonization". Another evil omen.
I do soup kitchens with the St Vincent de Paul Society.
News, Tancred and everyone:
Fr. Volpi is dead.
And yes gabriel, you're the only one here who does any Corporal Work of Mercy....oh, sorry that's right, you're the only one who's flapping his gums and trumpeting it before him....but thank God you're not like those other men, eh?
Protestants are pretty ignorant of, well...just about everything. They cried "Satanic" when they saw a photo of a papal chair with an upside down cross carved into it. The theologically challeged morons did not know that it represents Saint Peter crucified upside down. They are using this bent cross thing as an excuse to hurl their lies at the Catholic Church. Who cares? To me it just looks oh so Protestant. You know...Jesus did it all for us, bent down that cross cuz sin is all gone with him now, no more cross for us and we can jus' live any ol' way we want, ya'all cuz we is all goin' to da Promised Land, ya heah?
Yes, I saw about Volpi. May God show him more mercy than he showed the Franciscans of the Immaculate Heart and the Holy Mass.
Feeding soup to the poor isn't religion. It's an act of kindness. Kindness that non-religious groups all over the country and the world do. Regrettably, Gabriel and his ilk want to reduce the Catholic faith to nothing more than acts of kindness. They want to strip out and throw away doctrine.
Religion and acts of kindness; James 1: 27.
The announcement I read about Volpi said it was the Congregation for Religious that appointed Volpi with the intention to basically destroy the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate. This is a cover-up. Everyone knows it was Francis making the plans and pulling the strings and giving the marching orders....The Congregation for Religious was just his mouthpiece.
I object to some of these articles not laying blame where it should be....Francis.
The clock is ticking down for Francis too.
Anon 5:07,
What you have stated is a set of assertions. Can you provide any to prove that the 'conspiracy' is fact?
FERULA
ME
TWICE
SHAME
ON
YOU
For neurotic-psychotic
“Attached” to the old
We give you a hireling
To take care your fold.
No need for the shepherds
Who seem so much keener
They’ll tempt you with dreams
Of pastures much greener
And say not to mimic
Past tolerant-barters
So heads were cut off
Who could dialogue with martyrs?
The shepherds tell fables
‘Bout a man, hated, hailed,
Like you just “attached”
Don’t believe He was nailed!

acts of kindness (what Catholics call Works of Mercy (!)), and keeping it to yourself; Matt 6:1-4
...and francis didn't know anything about the 'shadow synod' that took place right under his nose
...and he never said that Kasper's theology was serene; in fact, he never appointed to Kasper to his current podium
...and he had nothing to do with Daneels having a front seat at the synod
...nor did he have a thing to do with the demotion of C. Burke
...and he certainly didn't have anything to do with the voted down relatio being placed back in the wording for sin-nod II
You're right gabriel...he know nothing, nothing about Volpi's destroying the FFI...heck, he probably never even met Volpi.
putz.
Lying putz.
I think you're correct about the FFI, Sandy.
La madre dei cretini e sempre incinta.
Jesus fed thousands and that was not kept a secret so what exactly are you attempting to say, Susan?
"Despite the denials of conservatives, Benedict XVI approved the Scorzelli Cross and used it often." Marian Horvath http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/c031_Cross.htm
Here we go again. You just won't let me take a week-end off, will you, Gaybriel.
Jesus fed the multitudes by using five loaves and two fishes to gain their faith through a miracle and to provide a foreshadowing of the meaning of the Eucharist. Seems like you are attempting to tell us you fed the town of Simcoe, Ontario with 13 elbow macaroni, two hot dogs, and a slice of cheddar. I won't put words into you mouth as to why, maybe you are sincere about this.
Well at least it is now apparent to all that part of your weekend duties is to clean up the rubbish left behind by the other two geniuses.
Secondly, it is abundantly clear that the New Testament consistently repudiates 'faith' which is based on seeing Jesus do miracles or wonders. This is the shallow response of the fickle crowd. And by the way, Circus man, what feeding story are you referring to? Both the numbers of people and the numbers of fishes and loaves differ.
Obviously I am presuming far too much of you but that does not surprise me now that I know you come from Simcoe, Ontario.
gabriel, you've thoroughly outed yourself as the obvious jackass that you are. Like I stated in one of the earliest posts with you...you have all the disgusting characteristics, huge ego, and vulgarian mouth of a dissenting cleric. You have the smell of Samson, Gravel, and Rosica all over you...take a bath.
Since the Second Vatican Council is a machine producing shoddy products and sticky tape hermeneutics its very appropriate. Paul VI would undoubtedly approve.
Temper, temper, Gaybriel, you just undid all that good work at the soup kitchen.
How oddly put-- "feeding story" -- not miracle story. Especially on this, the Feast of The Most Blessed Body and Blood of Christ. Where does the New Testament repudiate faith based on miracles? True, Jesus said "Happy are those who have not seen, but believe," but we have His marvelling at the faith of the Roman soldier, and John ends his gospel with "Jesus did many wonders, [etc]" just to provide some low hanging Gospel fruit. And we know you by your fruits, don't we?
You seem not to believe in any miracles, which necessarily includes His death, resurrection and ascension as well as the miracle of the Institution of the Holy Eucharist. Why not quit your job, which is feeding off a Catholic academic institution or chancery. We Catholics don't need fruit blight.
Again, you strain at an obscure point, being ever the martinet. Does it matter which story? They are the same in essence. Tell me where they differ except in detail. Do you castigate the people you feed at the souip kitchen for not having the plastic spoon on the left of the tray?
Dismissed. You may go back to your freemasonic meeting now.
Let me clarify what I wrote: True, Jesus said "Happy are those who have not seen, but believe," BUT HE DID NOT REPUDIATE HIS OWN MIRACLE.
Sorry for the error. Go back to tyour meeting, Gaybriel.
What you are demonstrating Circus person, is that you have not educated yourself beyond your own slogans and comfortable little penny catechism securities and all wrapped up in a gossamer sheet of faux urbanity and enlightenment. It is called fundamentalism. Your version here is biblical fundamentalism. Leo XIII, Pius XII and Vat II's Verbum Dei all identified it and condemned it. Look them up. It will be an education - perhaps!
And the very best you can do to support this pretence Barnum is to trot out your litany of cheap shots at my name and the attempts a the oh so clever salon humour. I'm sure the camp-follower above is slack jawed at the performance.
And when it's all done, this will be deleted by the censor. That is called the level playing field.
QED
The problem with sticky tape is that it only a quick patch....it's temporary. Sooner or later it dries out (might take years), but eventually it fails and the thing it was meant to hold together or in place breaks again, usually bearing the scars of where the tape once was.
That's the Church of Vatican II and of Francis. Problems and crisis patched together and hidden out of sight with a quick fix, like sticky tape. But eventually the quick fix up job, shoddy from the first (like the Novus Ordo), will fail, creating a crisis that was totally avoidable if repaired correctly with the proper time and following the rules.
unhinged ass.
Barnum surely is Susan.
Of course he did. Pope Benedict was an architect of that evil council and still worships it's errors to this day. This hideous and utterly meaningless excuse for a crozier is the Modernist symbol of their new religion and so they proudly display it.
The broken staff is not the original but a lightweight (aluminum?) replica made for the ailing pope Wojtyla. The crucifix on the original staff is much darker in color, having acquired an oxidized patina over time. Look at the press photos carefully and it will be seen that the taped up broken staff bears the heraldic arms of John Paul II, not Paul VI.
Warning : the poster Gaybriel is a Mason....hit him hard!!!
The poster gabriel is an ass.
And Barnum doesn't look near as good in a dress as do I.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSsshhhhhhhhhhhhh Louis. You just got in the way of a 'good' story.
A Burqa you mean.
Is that s'posed to be funny? It doesn't even make sense. Try again.
Hush Gaybriel. Speaking of cheap shots, I am watching the Stanley Cup Finals, with some world-classers. So don't bother me while I watch hockey, and I won't bother you while you watch ice dancing.
And speaking of cheap, you still haven't revealed your insight the New Testament repudiates miracles. (It WILL be a miracle if you ever give a straight answer!)
Apologies-- meant to say: "And speaking of cheap, you still haven't revealed THE SOURCE(S) OF your insight that the New Testament repudiates miracles."
Another crypto-Lefebrian!
Do I hear an "Ayyy-men" ?
Symbolic also of the Judas Council & its break with Sacred Tradition. A broken uglified Crucifix is ideal for the NuPopes - why mend it, when they've broken more important things ?
A bent and broken staff for a bent and broken Papacy - how very apt. A tacky staff for a tacky Papacy - even more so. That JP2 monstrosity was Brutalist "art"at its finest, along with the barbed wire Hiroshima "Resurrection" that (dis) graces the Aula Paolo VI.

“The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.” Isaiah 14:5 Dear Catholic people, your pope isn't even a Christian, he's a Luciferian Jesuit, and he blasphemes Jesus. Jesus was clear in saying he is the inly intercessor for prayer, praying to saints and the Mary is heresy. Please repent and pray Jesus will truly save you.
correct. it creates the pentagram symbol
