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."

Or should we love it when we are still on this earth only on Mount Tabor commemorating the Face of Christ transfigured by the Father? The answer is obviously no.

And who am I, a nothing. I'm just a commenter who reads this blog. I by my own judgment, in the same context of the "perhaps" and the "probable", defined by myself a "sentence of the Church" and excluded myself from it. It is not up to us to be judges of anyone, much less of the Church. Because I am the example for spending four years away from the sacraments. Let me take you by bad examples that say that Bergoglio's Church is the mystical body of Satan. And I was like that, her accomplice... So let me be carried away by the subtlety of the Gnostic Serpent's suggestion that the Church was not good for me. Because I simply do not accept this legitimate pontificate, although I do not recognize it until the election of a new legitimate Roman Pontiff. In short, so that my comment does not get long, I returned to the sacraments and to my Mother Church recently.
I wish Martinez a Merry Christmas and to all who read this blog, but wishing you to always receive all the sacraments of the Church in a holy way.
