@FeserEdward Whatever you think of his conclusions, no one can reasonably dismiss arguments grounded in scholarship of the kind Prof. Rist is well known for. This promises to be a book that will have to be engaged with seriously by Catholic thinkers of all stripes.

The papacy isn’t the problem. The problem is that Freemasons infiltrated the Vatican last century and have surrounded the true popes. From their leadership positions, they have watered down what gets taught in seminaries and have caused multiple scandals which people blame VII for. Now they installed the false prophet, and every time he does something scandalous and evil, he pretends he does it in the name of VII, which did not teach error but logically developed doctrine. For example, VII did not teach communion in the hand and all the true popes treated it like an abuse. Their goals is to convince Catholics that Catholicism is a false religion. Another goal is to convince Christians that the antichrist is Jesus Christ when they make him emperor of the new world order. People do not distinguish between Vatican II and what modernists call “the spirit of Vatican II”. They canonize every pope since VII to convince people that the VII Church is a false church, while at the same time building the one world church on top of the counterfeit rock.

Some say that Benedict XVI made a mistake in substance in the abdication, as required by canon 322.2. He was to abdicate the office, but he chose the ministry. But Benedict XVI's Normas Nonnullas on Some Modifications to the Universi Dominici Gregis, John Paul II's apostolic constitution, does not modify Article 77:

“I decree that the dispositions concerning everything that precedes the election of the Roman Pontiff and the carrying out of the election itself must be observed in full, even if the vacancy of the Apostolic See should occur as a result of the resignation of the Supreme Pontiff, in accordance with the provisions of Canon 333 § 2 of the Code of Canon Law and Canon 44 § 2 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches”.

It continues to be valid, therefore, as something providential. Because if we don't trust in divine providence, then we'll say it's failed us.

If we use this line of thought, then we will say that the divine inspiration to the last popes erred, through the drafting of the apostolic constitution.

You see, the gravity of such a thing. I could go deeper, but it's enough that it's all dark.

So there is evidence through various Latin scholars in Italy who say that Ratzinger was aware of what he was doing. And several other scholars from other fields as well.

We are in dark times against the Church. The Catholic cannot make himself partisan to Cionci or Minutella; He, however, must analyze everything around him. We, therefore, must opt for the good of the papacy and the Church allied to the truth.

There is a typo about canon 332.2, in article 77 in the same constitution in the English language. In this translated language it says 333.2, not 332.2. I put it to check in Latin:

“77. Quae de actis electionem praecedentibus et de ipsa Romani Pontificis electione hactenus dicta sunt, ea omnia servanda esse declaramus, etiam si contingat vacationem Sedis Apostolicae per renuntiationem Summi Pontificis occurrere, secundum can. 332, § 2 « Codicis Iuris Canonici » et can. 44, § 2 « Codicis Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium ».

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...

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...

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...
