2018 Ryan Grant: Doctor of the Church St. Robert Bellarmine says Bp. Schneider is Wrong

Bishop Athanasius Schneider claims that the Church cannot depose a manifest heretical pope.

In 2018, Latin language expert Ryan Grant in a talk against Sedevantists apparently said Doctor of the Church St. Robert Bellarmine disagrees with Schneider:

"If the pope were a manifest heretic and he ceased to be pope as soon as the Church through a council... that is once they defined the crime, the penalty has already been imposed, so everyone now knows he is not the pope. Now the Church can depose him and elect a new pope and that is essentially Bellarmine's teaching... "

"... The separation from the man from the office. But it can't be carried out until the crime has been defined... It's not likely to happen... [But, its] the Church not [Sedevantist] bloggers [who do it]... But they [Sedevantists] will argue all the bishops are heretical. Then you go back to Bellarmine... It's in chapter 11 in "Church Militant": 'The pope and all the universal bishops can't defect.'"
(YouTube, Sensus Fidelium, "Exploration of St. Bellarmine's Theology ~ Ryan Grant, December 29, 2018, 130:30-1:33.03)

 The translator of Bellarmine into English Grant apparently is saying that all the worldwide Catholic bishops can't "defect" or all become heretics as the Sedevantists agrue so the faithful, that is non-heretical, bishops can by the teachings of Bellarmine depose a manifest heretical pope in a council.

It appears Grant is saying according to Doctor of the Church St. Bellarmine that Bishop Schneider is wrong.

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as for the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Those like Grant and his cigar pal Skojec likely understand St. Bellarmine well. They just don’t like the implications in regards the situation right now. Great theory. Nice discussion point. Makes for a wonderful Doctoral dissertation. But this is real!

St. Bellarmine means action. He means decisive response to an actual illegal act and an actual invalid a Conclave and an actual schism with the visible heretic antiPope and the heretic Bishops with him and to separate from the visible heretic Church united with the illegal antipope.

St. Bellarmine means stepping off the Boat, onto the waves because Christ beckons us to act in Faith for Him.

It’s cowardice. They are like “patriots” who talk a good talk until the enemy appears on the horizon.

Marco Tosatti, the famous Vaticanista, has broken with Trad Inc, and published a refutation of Schneider

If the “Pope”, in his manifest merciful wisdom, decrees that because communion is a shared “meal”, and because there is a shortage of Priests, and because we live in a new era of mercy and understanding .... therefore .... henceforth communion shall be a loaf of sliced bread on a series of tables around the sanctuary; everyone is to proceed to the nearest table and grab a slice for himself. The Cardinals, the Vatican, the Bishops of the world all applaud the merciful Pope who brings Jesus to us in such an approachable and modern, relatable way.

The “Pope” has spoken. Must we obey? Do we obey and grab a slice every Sunday until such future time (perhaps not in our lifetime - too bad for us) as a more faithful Pope and faithful Bishops and Priests and Vatican collect to condemn this past practice?

Really, what will it take? They are literally bowing down to Baal and admitting heretics and sodomites to communion. My example is not far off. Bp. Schneider and Trad inc.™️ sanctimoniously demand with furrowed brow we submit. Sorrow and woe is ok. But, submit. We have no right to question the Pope who gives us Eucharistic sliced Wonder Bread (Baals, sodomites, homosexuals, clowns etc).

Sorry, did not sign up for that. Tradition and authority under God and the Saints. That. Hard pass on the freak show. My eyes and conscience do not deceive me. Popes and Bishops are not Gods and Demi-Gods. They are men and subject to sin and depravity like us all. But Tradition is firm and unchanging. It judges them now.

If Francis is a Heretic, What should Canonically happen to him?

Did Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the future Pope Benedict XVI) say that Francis is a heretic ?   On June 3, 2003 the then Cardinal Ratzinge r (and future Pope Benedict) , head of the Congregation for the Faith, said that the endorsement of  " homosex civil unions" was against Catholic teaching, that is heterodoxy : "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimatization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil... The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions ." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Considerations Regarding Proposals to give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons," June 3, 2003) Gloria.tv reported: " Francis made on October 21 his latest declaration in sup...

Could Francis be an Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?

Is it possible for someone to be an antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope? The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope. In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II. How is this possible? St. Bernard said "the 'sanior pars' (the wiser portion)... declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for A...

A Hour which will Live in Infamy: 10:01pm November 3, 2020

10:01pm November 3, 2020, a hour which will live in infamy, the United States of America presidential electoral integrity was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the Democrat Machine and some corrupt collaborators within the Republican Party. It will be recorded that "under the pretense of COVID, executive branch officials across a number of key battleground states violated election procedures passed by the legislative branches of those states in a number of ways that opened up the process to fraud on a massive scale, never before seen in the history of this country" which makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks before. During the time before and after the attack the Democrat Machine and its corrupt collaborators in the Media have deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.  The attack on United States has caused severe damage to the Ameri...
