LifeSite News: "One should conclude either that Pope Benedict XVI made a colossal mistake or that he, in truth, invalidly renounced the papacy"

Benedict XVI made a colossal mistake by inventing the role of ‘pope emeritus’

The video linked below clarifies the cause for this new initiative by Archbishop Viganò against Benedict XVI and the popes during and after the Council. "They are truly revealing their true intent that is now coming to light [on Benedict XVI]. Because everything is afloat. And all of them themselves are showing that this is always a grace of God (Father Faré, response to Monsignor Viganò, December 2, 2024):

May God give us the grace of humility to understand our mistakes and welcome only the truth.

Viganò is an inconsistent being and again does not show evidence and even misrepresents the facts. We can see that it does not follow the first premise of Benedict XVI's statement before the Cardinals. In this way errors and injustices of fallacious arguments occur on his part against the Pope. For example, we know that a Pope has jurisdiction over Rome. But a Pope is not the same as the other bishops, but a Vicar of Christ who is a peer among the others in the same episcopate. That is why there is in his person a singularity over the others in this ministry. A diocesan bishop, when he retires because he reaches 75 years of age, remains with the office, but no longer exercises the ministry in the diocese. But there is no canon that says the same thing about a Pope. Obviously, the solution, as Viganò never presents solutions, is that there was an abdication of ministry by Benedict that reveals a totally barred seat (canon 412). It soon becomes very clear that there is no pontificate that is emeritus. Today, December 2, 2024, Viganò's Italian-language video has more than 30,000 views. However, the criticism among the commentators against this analysis of him, are the majority in the same video... The truth is coming out.

Correction: a Vicar of Christ is not a peer among the other bishops. He is different.

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...
