Once again, Bishop Schneider peddles his self-serving tautology: we must all recognize Bergoglio as Pope because Bergoglio is the Pope. How do we know Bergoglio is the Pope? Because (the more His Excellency elaborates on this, the clearer his own convictions become) there is no such thing as right or wrong. "To heal in the root" doesn't mean, for Bishop Schneider, what the Church has always meant; it now means to repeal the law of non-contradiction. Bishop Schneider invokes cases in Church history when rival claims to the papacy were resolved this way, without noting that either claimant could have been Pope. An apostate cannot. You cannot hold that Bergoglio's occupancy of the Chair of Peter can be "healed in the root" any more than you could hold this about a "marriage" between two men or two women.

As for those seeking to set the whole problem aside with the "we get the leaders we deserve" capitulation, that doesn't demonstrate that any man is or isn't a valid papal claimant. We could be chastised by divine providence by a Pope or by an antipope. All it proves is that is that everyone who sees Bergoglio as legitimately dressed in white does so because they have succumbed to the essential error of Amoris laetitia Chapter 8; namely, that there is no such thing as truth or falsehood, Revelation or its diabolical inversion; only practicalities, which are supposedly good enough for God. The Kasperites argue that people in invalid "second" marriages must be seen as spouses because to deal with reality would be too difficult for all involved. Once we start questioning whether people who appear to be married actually are married, we would be attacking and undermining the Sacrament of Matrimony itself, which is a visible institution. Who are we to say Christ was wrong, by questioning whether certain unions are valid or not? Bishop Schneider's "surer way" is merely the "logic" of Footnote 351 applied to its author instead.

And as for the supposedly super devout people confusing the "submission" required of a Catholic with the conception of that term in other religious contexts, maybe divine providence is allowing all this precisely in order to give us an opportunity to straighten our spines, sort through all the pro-Bergoglian whining, and stop deserving to be chastised by instead standing for the truth about who Bergoglio is (and isn't), contra mundum.

5 Dubia Questions for 1P5's Steve Skojec & All faithful Catholics especially Francis is definitely Pope Cardinals, Bishops & pundits

Here are five really short and easy to answer dubia questions which hopefully aren't too complicated for Steve Skojec, publisher of the One Peter Five website, to answer. To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...
