"It is enough for a few legitimate Cardinals to officially affirm that the legitimate Pope has died, in order for them to meet to elect a new legitimate Vicar of Christ"

Could certain bishops, cardinals hold a council to remove Francis as pope?

---

Centuries ago, Cardinal Thomas Cajetan noted that an imperfect council can be called ‘when there is a single heretical pope to be deposed, and when there are several doubtful supreme pontiffs.’ Perhaps this is the solution to our time?

... (LifeSiteNews) — LifeSite recently published Dr. Edmund Mazza’s analysis of why Benedict XVI’s arguably invalid resignation of the papacy would have caused the conclave that ostensibly elected Bishop Jorge Bergoglio to also be invalid. In addition to Dr. Mazza’s argument, which has persuaded many Catholics, there are at least two other serious arguments that Francis is not pope:

• That Francis has lost the papal office because he has “publicly and pertinaciously contradicted a number of central teachings of the Catholic faith,” as suggested in a May 2, 2024 “Call for the Resignation of Pope Francis”  
• That Francis is the head of the anti-Catholic Synodal Church, and therefore an apostate who cannot simultaneously be head of the Catholic Church 

Any of these three independent reasons could, if true, suffice to show that Jorge Bergoglio is not the pope. Thus, if Dr. Mazza’s argument is true, then Francis would not be pope even if he was perfectly orthodox and there was no such thing as the Synodal Church. Or, if Francis was validly elected, he would still not be pope if either of the other two arguments is true. 

The rationale for evaluating whether Francis is the pope would be strong even if his words and deeds were relatively benign and we expected that the next conclave could elect a truly Catholic pope. However, that is clearly not the case: Francis is actively trying to destroy the Catholic Church and, to perpetuate that objective even after his death, he has stacked the College of Cardinals with like-minded opponents of true Catholicism. Thus, it is difficult to imagine a situation in which it would be more obvious that serious Catholics should consider what steps can be taken to remove Francis from the papacy (or declare that he never legitimately occupied it) and elect a truly Catholic pope… [https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/could-certain-bishops-cardinals-hold-a-council-to-remove-francis-as-pope/]

The following is from a Catholic Monitor reader: 

If the abdication of Pope Benedict XVI was "possibly invalid," as Mazza says, then the one who succeeded him on the throne thus becomes a "Papa dubius, Papa nullus" (a doubtful pope, not a pope). This means that if the election of a Pope was doubtful, then that Pope himself shows himself to be illegitimate.

But if we question even if this argument is still not convincing about this illegitimacy, then we must seek a canonical resolution.

And the Apostolic Constitution "Universi Dominici Gregis" is this document of canonical context.

The Constitution is like a boomerang that has been thrown for some time and will certainly return to those who threw it, that is, at any time. Even if the few good Cardinals or Bishops of the Church make any good initiative to remove Bergoglio, as this article above hypothetically demonstrates, this Constitution will always intervene with its highest canonical authority, according to its Article 34, which clearly demonstrates:

"[...] He must, therefore, interrupt without delay any meeting, congregation, or session, and cease to compile or prepare any decree or canon, or promulgate those that have already been confirmed, on pain of their nullity; indeed, the Council or the Synod cannot continue for any reason, however grave or worthy of special mention, until the new Pontiff, canonically elected, does not order that it be resumed or continued."

It is enough for a few legitimate Cardinals to officially affirm that the legitimate Pope has died, in order for them to meet to elect a new legitimate Vicar of Christ.

Therefore, this for the Church today is the most important thing.

Note: I want to correct myself and do justice here to Doctor Mazza about what I wrote above the phrase "possibly invalid" abdication of Benedict XVI. Because it is not authored by Dr. Mazza, but by the one who wrote it about this thesis.

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia.

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

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”

–  On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:

“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”

– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:

“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.

What is needed right now to save America from those who would destroy our God given rights is to pray at home or in church and if called to even go to outdoor prayer rallies in every town and city across the United States for God to pour out His grace on our country to save us from those who would use a Reichstag Fire-like incident to destroy our civil liberties.
