An Unnecessary Clarification

Well it’s No! Nay! Never!
No! Nay! Never—No More!

If so, Mundy, perhaps methinks our good Benny should doff the damn Whites; Depart the Vatican; say “Call me Joe;” stop talking about the irrevocable “for forever” Petrine ministry; and fire fem Ganswein as his official spokesman. Not to mention publicly DISAVOW all talk of a split papacy, the creation of a papal dyarchy, and the creation of a new kind of papacy with two members, an “active” and a “contemplative.”

Barnhardt has a salient argument. And the better of the argument in this humble sheep’s opinion.

When Celestine V resigned, the “Great Refusal” back in 1294, he didn’t say call me Pope Emeritus! He said here’re the whites; call me Peter of Morrone; and: “I’m outta here! Adios!”

We love Benedict despite whatever considerable confusion and perhaps peril into which he has plunged Holy Mother Church. We’d love him whether he validly resigned or not. Yet it would appear indeed that he is clearly still the one and only living and reigning Pope—de jure if not de facto—even if he has let go the reins and given them to a usurper. Where are the papal protections of infallibility on faith and morals of Bergoglio? No Hell? Jesus “became the devil for us?” The Blessed Mother cursed God and called the St. Gabriel “Liar!” from the foot of the Cross?? Please the man’s a criminal and raging heretic in his statements on the Faith.

It’s Francis or Fatima. Important to know in that equation Who Francis is—and it ain’t Pope.

Anti-Pope, Anyone?

Suppose the legitimate Pope is scared shitless….like Peter when he was hanging around the charcoal fire getting all warmed up when he was confronted and accused of being one of Christ’s followers???

3 times the charm.

Yes. Now you have it. Would that it were nonsense.

Alegitimate Pope who does not challenge the illegitimate usurper—who as you well know has a propensity for heretical utterance, satanic paraphernalia i.e. the Stang, and a fetish for fags as he promotes professes establishes and defends them remorselessly—whether for fear of the wolves or of something else.

Effeminacy is a problem in the Church hierarchy. If they’re not fags they’re fems in about ninety percent of the cases.

In Pope Benedict’s case, however, there well could be something else going on here partly due to his flashes of intellectual brilliance and partly to his modernist nominalist mindset, a dangerous combination.

Are you familiar with Deus Ex Machina’s declared state of necessity theory?

The comparison of a resignation of a professorship is not the same as an abidication of the papacy. If the abdication is done freely ( not under coercion)
The form and process of the abdication of the papacy must be done properly; otherwise the abdication is deemed null and void and the status quo of what was, prior to the faulty/ invalid abdication becomes again the status quo.
Retiring from a professorship is very different.

“Anyone who accepts the Petrine ministry no longer has any privacy. He belongs always and completely to everyone, to the whole Church… “The ‘always’ is also a “forever”—there can no longer be a return to the private sphere.

My decision to resign THE ACTIVE EXCERSISE ( to become the passive one ) of the ministry does not revoke this. ”

Benedict XVI
General Audience, February 27, 2013, the day before his resignation
———————-
so, as HIM stated, he just let out the “ACTIVE” PART of the “ministry”, BUT THE “always” its also “FOREVER”…

CRYSTAL CLEAR?
on HIS own words, the ones that declared HIS OWN INTENTION?

Cdl Ratzinger chose to remain in white, which, savvy as he is, understood would drive the confusion factor over the top. Echoing other comments perhaps, had he truly intended to *demonstrate* turning over of all concerning the See of Peter, he would have taken the attire of a simple bishop (or priest), or otherwise a monastic habit. More murky waters of VII, but at the end of the day, 1 picture = 1000 words; q.e.d.
Their goal is confusion and discord, as always.

After reading the comments here and on other blogs about this controversy, this scenario occurred to me. Suppose the conclave of March, 2013, elected a Pius XIII instead of Jorge the Horrible. And suppose this hypothetical traditional pope rescinded all of the Vatican II changes, abolished the Novus Ordo mass, and it was like 1960 all over again in the Catholic Church. Would the folks who are crying over Benedict now, be speculating about an invalid resignation? More likely, he would be vaguely remembered as the moderate pope who resigned to pave the way for Pope Wonderful.

Back to the present situation, it doesn’t matter how elaborate and well thought out the invalid election/resignation theories are. The same goes for deposing him on the grounds of heresy. Only the cardinals and bishops have the power to do anything, and I doubt they would act even if the proof were staring them in the face. Most of them agree with the direction that Francis is taking the Church. Unless a revelation comes out that Francis personally committed an abuse or another crime back in Argentina, I think we are stuck with him until God intervenes.
