(Bishop Strickland) — The points that John Paul Meenan has made in Catholic Insight in the article “Caveat LifeSite: Incipient Schisms,” are definitely worthy of consideration as, although bishops or theologians may have opinions about a Pope’s legitimacy, it is true that it is not their role to determine it definitively. The Church as a whole – especially the College of Cardinals and the bishops in communion with the Pope – would be the proper authority to judge such matters. However, by my endorsement of the mentioned article and the statements I have made, I am simply echoing traditional Catholic teaching that a heretic cannot be a valid pope, a position that has been discussed by theologians for centuries. Rather than being schismatic, I am in actuality defending the faith and fulfilling my duty as a successor of the apostles.

St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, “It must be observed, however, that if the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly” (Summa Theologica, II-II, q. 33, a. 4, ad 2). Similarly, St. Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church, taught that “a manifest heretic is automatically deposed from all ecclesiastical offices, including that of the papacy.” These are not new ideas but part of the Church’s theological tradition.

In view of the grave crisis in the Church in which we now find ourselves, I would ask Mr. Meenan at what point he thinks the bishops SHOULD speak out – after we find ourselves in the situation of which Archbishop Fulton Sheen spoke when he said that a counter-church would be set up “which will be the ape of the Church” with “all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content”?

Was Bergoglio Chosen?: CIA Pope - "The Real Mover and Shaker of this Entire Spectacle is the Deep State"

U.S. Deep State Pope And Its Implications For You By Laramie Hirsch The U.S. State Department routinely pressures members of the United Security Council with a view to influencing the vote pertaining to Security Council resolutions. U.S. covert operations and propaganda campaigns are routinely applied with a view to influencing national elections in different countries around the world. Similarly, the CIA has a longstanding covert relationship with the Vatican. Did the U.S. government attempt to influence the outcome of the election of the new pontiff? Firmly committed to serving U.S. foreign policy interests in Latin America, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was Washington’s preferred candidate. Were undercover pressures discretely exerted by Washington, within the Catholic Church, directly or indirectly, on the 115 cardinals who are members of the Vatican conclave? Professor Michel Chossudovsky,  “Washington’s Pope”? Who is Pope Francis I? Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio and Argentina’s “Dir...
