“At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error and death.”

St. Francis of Assisi

In 2023, an Auxiliary Bishop in Asia, well respected amongst traditional Catholics, and who is seen to love Holy Mother Church, quoted St. Bellarmine and announced that “There is no authority to declare or consider an elected and generally accepted Pope as an invalid Pope.”

And nearly all in the traditional Church who had been questioning the legitimacy of Bergoglio became silent, and soon proposed that those who would continue to speak of Bergoglio as an Antipope, False Prophet, or Usurper are schismatic. And so, nearly all happily returned to the service of their communities and the world through false obedience, without any regard to read St. Bellarmine, the Holy Fathers of the Church, or Canon Law. And now we see even some “excommunicated” for speaking the Truth on this matter, while other Faithful are refused the Sacraments, even for their children.

This is a grave disservice to Holy Mother Church, and a grave offence against the Mystical Body of Christ. The Auxiliary Bishop in Asia was wrong.

In Book II Ch. XXVI-XXVII of St Bellarmine’s De Controversiis Tomus II, the Doctor of the Church teaches that no man “whether secular, or ecclesiastical, nor even gathered together in a council” may judge the Pontiff.

And yet, only three chapters later, he addresses the question of the possibility of a heretical Pope, and answers the five opinions on the matter as follows:

1: That the Pope cannot be a heretic, and hence would not be deposed in any case. St. Bellarmine calls this opinion “probable, and easily defended”.

2: That a Pope that falls into heresy (even internally) is deposed by God and ceases to be Pope (ipso facto). St. Bellarmine disproves this as a possibility.

3: That a Pope who is a heretic is not deposed and cannot be deposed by the Church. St. Bellarmine disproves this as a possibility.

4: That a heretical Pope is not ipso facto deposed, but must be deposed by the Church. St. Bellarmine disproves this as a possibility.

5: That a Pope who is a manifest heretic, ceases in himself to be Pope, as he is no longer a member of the body of the Church, and therefore can be judged and punished by the Church. St. Bellarmine call this a “true opinion”.

And so we have three teachings on this matter from the Doctor of the Church, namely: That no one may judge the Pope: That it is impossible for the Pope to be a manifest heretic: That a heretic Pope must be judged by the Church.

Here the minds of the intelligentsia are blinded to the Truth, as are those in the Church who are blinded through sin and false obedience.

But the sheep hear and understand: It is precisely because it is impossible for the Pope to be a formal, manifest heretic, that the Church Herself renders judgment and punishment upon a heretic and apostate who claims to be the Pope. Therefore, St. Bellarmine affirms that no man may judge the Pope: For if there were to appear one as a manifest heretic, the Church would know that he is not the Pope, and render judgement accordingly. It is precisely because it is impossible, that the Church Herself, and not a man, nor even a Council, must judge the matter. Notably, the number of people who believe the heretic to be Pope matters not: neither does the number of those who See and Understand the heresy: It is impossible that a manifest heretic could ever hold the Papacy.

Many are confused because they falsely believe that all (or even most) who claim to be in the Church are, in fact, Catholic. But this is not the case. In this, our corrupt age, so very, very many of those who claim Catholicism have already separated their souls from the Church through heresy and denial of Church Doctrine. This is a problem in our Hierarchy as well, and tends to false obedience and false unity. Do not confuse the worldly power a heretic might have been given, or usurped, with the Authority of the Vicar of Christ, or of the Church Herself, on earth. False unity and false obedience have no impact on the declaration of Truth, or on the unity of the Faithful with the teachings of the Saints. The Church Herself: the Mystical Body of Christ, holds the Authority to declare impossible what has always been known to be impossible. The modernist heretics and those who seek false unity with the same have no impact on this Authority.

Furthermore, this is not a matter of removing a sitting Pontiff, as the intelligentsia and the effeminate lukewarm would have us believe: This is a matter of declaring under the Authority of Holy Mother Church that Jorge Bergoglio is a formal, manifest heretic (whose heresy is not in question, and was immediately evident), and therefore is not (nor has ever been) the Pope. This Authority is held in the Mitre and Crosier, and passed on to every Successor of the Apostles.

Bergoglio is not the Pope: he only fulfills the prophesy of St. Francis.

Therefore: Let loose the Lion of Truth: He will defend Himself. It is the duty of the laity under Canon Law to speak the Truth. And it is the duty of a Successor, holding the Authority of Holy Mother Church, to let loose the Lion of Truth, and, speaking for the Mystical Body of Christ, and rendering an account of what has already occurred, end the Apostacy.

Esto Vir. Esto Sanctus. Be here now.
