Q: Isn’t it true that if Pope Benedict did only resign “the active ministry for the governance of the Church”, that legally means that he resigned the whole Office?
A: Absolutely not: resignation from only “participation in governance” is NOT considered resignation of office, and we have a clear legal precedent on this that is shockingly similar that we have discussed previously in this space: Blessed Emperor Charles I of Austria, whose feast it is today, 21 October.
In ARSH 1918 at the tail end of the forgotten Freemasonic war which we call World War I, the Freemasons were in the final push to eliminate ALL monarchies from Europe, as the necessary antecedent to the true goal of Freemasonry – the destruction of the Catholic Church by the striking and elimination of the earthly Monarch of Monarchs – the Pope. The “Last Man Standing” in Europe was Blessed Emperor Charles I (Karl) of Austria, a saintly man devoted to his people and to Holy Mother Church.
What Blessed Emperor Charles did in the face of the Freemasonic overthrow of his country and his government was to proffer a statement of RENUNCIATION OF PARTICIPATION IN STATE AFFAIRS, while NOT abdicating, and thus retaining the Office of Emperor.
“In November 1918, the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was unstoppable. Following the recommendation of government, Emperor Karl I decided to give up his reign. He signed a declaration to this effect on 11 November 1918.
In this waiverKarl I stressed that he would not stand in the way of national development and thus relinquished his participation in its administration. Consequently, he released members of the Austrian government from their offices.
Since Karl I had not formally abdicated the throne, he had to leave Austria. On 12 November 1918 German-Austria was proclaimed as a republic.”
Note well how both the Freemasonic government of the newly-formed Germany-Austria republic AND HISTORY has judged this act: Blessed Emperor Charles DID NOT ABDICATE and thus was forced into exile by the Freemasons – because they all knew damn good and well that Blessed Charles WAS STILL THE EMPEROR AND HAD NOT ABDICATED.
Remember the difference here folks: The Emperor of Austria is NOT the Vicar of Christ on Earth, he is NOT the VISIBLE PRINCIPAL OF UNITY of Holy Mother Church on earth, and he DOES NOT enjoy either the grace of state or the negative supernatural protection that the Successor of St. Peter does.
If you fail or refuse to consider the Papacy AND current events in light of the SUPERNATURAL dynamic that the Papacy has, that is to say in light of FAITH, you will miss what is right in front of your nose, and probably start spewing without shame jaw-droppingly blasphemous and internally contradictory Freemasonic talking points like:
-the Pope can totally be a type of Antichrist
-that the entire Church for 2000 years has been built upon IDOLATRY of the Papacy – “Papolatry”, and only now do we have the true, deep, enlightened knowledge and have “figured this out”
-Only now do we understand that the Papacy is a meaningless figurehead position, and that we must PICK AND CHOOSE what we believe from what a Pope teaches, because the REAL “POPE” lives inside each of our heads
-That schism not only isn’t a sin, it is a virtue, and we all need to, as a very prominent Trad theologian/liturgist/composer declared at a conference in Rome, steps from the Vatican, “get used to the idea of being in schism.” And Luther burning in hell let out a squeal of satisfaction.
You guys realize this is basically the entire core premise of Freemasonry, right? The deification of the human intellect? And you see that this is EXACTLY what Trad Inc. is now pushing, declaring people who do not subscribe to this Freemasonic philosophy of being in mortal sin and – in gobsmackingly glaring violation of the Law of Non-contradiction – in schism? Yes, that’s right. These people are so intellectually tied in knots that they’re bellowing that one must simultaneously hold Jorge Bergoglio to be the Principal of Unity and Standard of Schism AND be in schism from him. You have to be simultaneously with him and against him – an obvious violation of the Law of Non-contradiction. All so these people can keep a middling paycheck and/or career track. It is GLARINGLY obvious what is going on here. Satan is playing people like cheap fiddles.
All of the VISIBLE proof sets that we have today with regards to Pope Benedict’s exclusive retention of the Petrine Office, whether he liked it or not, are the workings of the Divine Providence. God is SO GOOD, and SO POWERFUL.
November ARSH 2022. The Holy Father looks quite good in this picture, one of the last taken of him before he died a few weeks later.
Here is the English translation of Blessed Charles’ letter of “renunciation of participation in state affairs”.
Since I came to the throne I have ceaselessly strived to lead my people out of the horrors of war, for whose outbreak I bear no blame.
I have not hesitated to rebuild the constitutional life and have opened the way for the people to develop their own national identity.
Now as before filled with unwavering love for all my people, I do not wish to be a barrier to the freedom of their development.
I acknowledge in advance the decision that Germany-Austria is making about its future system of government.
The people have through their representatives taken over the government. I hereby renounce any part in state affairs.
At the same time I relieve my Austrian government of its office.
May the people of Germany-Austria create and consolidate the reorganisation in the spirit of harmony and forgiveness. The happiness of my people was my most cherished goal from the beginning.
Only inner peace can heal the wounds of this war.
So, here we have clear historical proof that partial resignation or WAIVER from only participation in “state affairs” or “the active governance” IS NOT A RENUNCIATION OF OFFICE.
“A waiver is the voluntary relinquishment or surrender of some known right or privilege.”
-It is acknowledged at the highest levels of the Church that Pope Benedict CLEARLY believed himself to still be holding the Petrine Office (which he was), with his repeated giving of “MY APOSTOLIC BLESSING” in writing to actually be considered the most glaring and legally compelling proof of this, above and beyond even the retention of the Papal white, the title, and the Papal style (His Holiness), with his “confirming the brethren” in various letters and books also considered very strong evidence.
I’ve always been a person who liked light background noise at night. From my first clock-radio, bought at a garage sale, I slept with the radio, and later the black-and-white TeeVee with an antenna, on. The problem with sleeping with the TeeVee on was the overnight sign-off to static at 02:00am. Yes, younglings, broadcast TeeVee stations used to play the national anthem and then broadcast static for three hours overnight. This is how I discovered at age 14 the subsidized radio station out of the University of Kansas, FM 91.5, which played amazing jazz off of vinyl until 1:30am, then the militant black Nation of islam retards had their public access show, which made me realize that I really, REALLY needed to drop out of Leavenworth High School for my own wellbeing and safety. In retrospect, I owe those odious people a roundabout debt of gratitude. Dropping out of high school was one of the top-three decisions I’ve ever made. Converting to the One True Faith and Church is obviously numero uno. The other will be in the memoirs.
Then, I would wake up to NPR Morning Edition, which in those ancient days was just super-soothing benign long-form pieces and interviews – not intolerable communist agitprop. SNL did a send-up of “NPR voice” decades ago. Search “SNL Delicious Dish” on YouTube if you don’t mind double entendres.
Now, I have discovered that many people have had exactly the same idea as I have had: find on YouTube local radio/TeeVee broadcasts of MLB baseball games, including the advertisements, from one’s early childhood. For me, the voices of Fred White and Denny Matthews, and then Denny Trease calling Royals games on the radio and TV are peak audio nostalgia.
Next would be old Superstation WGN broadcasts of Cubs games with Harry Caray. My grandparents were very early cable tv subscribers, and from my earliest childhood, afternoons were filled with the sound of Cubs (and Braves on TBS) games (Wrigley Field didn’t install lights until ARSH 1988) on the TeeVee.
I find these make excellent background for very casual parties as well. Preferably where beer is served. Harry Caray would want to you have a taaaalll, coooooool Budweiser, but we’ve all moved on.
Look up your local teams. It doesn’t have to be the Royals or the Cubs, but I do recommend baseball. Basketball and football are too harsh to be relaxing background.
If you’re not maxed-out on nostalgia, here’s the 1980s TWIB theme:
A simple footnote on today… 243 years ago today the Fyfe and Drum Corps of His Majesty’s foot regiment played the tune “World Turned Upside Down” as British and Hessian troops marched out to surrender. Little did they know on that October day in the year of Our Lord 1781 at Yorktown, Virginia, in the presence of General George Washington and the Comte de Rochambeau of how that song would predict the future events.
Gosh, I close my eyes and that narrator’s voice, gently warped as projector films always were, takes me right back to First, Second and Third Grade. I can see Mrs. Wilson, and Mrs. Kaeding wheeling in the projector (Oh! The sweet anticipation!), pulling down the screen, and then fighting with the damn thing to get it properly fed and running – and they ALWAYS did get it running. And then turning off the lights, and… sweet ASMR relaxation-education. I was in that sweet spot wherein the same day I could watch a film produced in the 1950s, and then play language and math games on an Apple IIe. That’s pretty remarkable, if you think about it.
This is at once peak nostalgia, and at the same time absolutely brutal, cutting satire. What more can one ask for?
In this episode, Art and Ann lament fallen Catholic convert Melania Trump – little did we know she was a rabid baby-slaughter defender. But, we SHOULD have known she was deeply morally unsound by her open association with sodomite groups. Because if you’re unsound on sodomy, then you’re also, by definition, unsound on life, including IVF. Onan, son of Juda was unavailable for comment. Continuing with lamentations, we lament the Karen-led destruction of Christian Culture, and hone in on the Karen dogma that “We DESERVE God’s mercy…”, and the satanic gambit to declare the Antichurch, and eventually the Antichrist himself “more merciful than God.” Finally, Ann laughs long and hard when Art asks her for whom she is voting.

“There aren’t enough words in the English language for ‘I don’t care’ to describe how much I don’t care about Benedict’s statement…”
“This is boring. I don’t have any more f’s to give…”
“There’s nothing we can do….”
“It is how it is, and it’s never going to get better, only worse, so just accept it….”
“When it comes right down to it, and if we are being perfectly honest, we aren’t very confident that “prayer” is worth anything, at least anything outside our own personal lives.…”
Acedia is a terrible but largely unknown vice. Most people today have never heard the word. The most succinct definition is when you don’t care, and you don’t care that you don’t care.
I was told by a wise priest once, within the Sacrament of Confession no less, that the greatest demonic spirit of oppression over Rome and the Institutional Church was ACEDIA. People go to Rome, and the grace is sucked out of them by ACEDIA and soon they are completely unwilling to do ANYTHING, including pray, and then, like cancer, this spirit of Acedia metastasizes and spreads itself throughout the world. And guess how the resulting time vacuum in the lives of those in Acedia gets filled in this day and age? Social media, video games, TeeVee/movies… and then things which aren’t discussed in polite company.
Not only that, but they eventually become, ironically, MILITANT in their Acedia, demanding that others ratify and join in their indifference, inaction, impotence and despair. These sad souls then begin to declare their acedia to be a virtue; proof of their moral and intellectual sophistication and superiority over others.
To wit:
And the rightfully indignant, manful response to the prideful wallowing in the sinful effeminacy of Acedia with regards to Antipope Bergoglio and the Bergoglian Antipapacy displayed above:
Hear, hear!
Finally, it reaches a level so dire that the person wallowing in Acedia lashes out and attacks those who will not join in their cult of despair, trying, like the demons, to drag as many others down with them as they can. Anyone who shows any flame of charity – because remember, the polar opposite of love/charity is indifference, not hate – is attacked and painted as “mentally ill”. Gaslighting of the highest order: love itself (or should I say, HIMSELF) depicted as mental illness.
In these dark days, one and all would do well to be on the lookout for the terrible vice of Acedia, first in oneself, and then in others, and flee from it with all haste, because it is highly, highly contagious.
The Rosary, as always, combats Acedia, most directly in the Second Joyful Mystery, the Visitation, the Fruit of which is Fraternal Charity/Love of Neighbor, and in the Third Glorious Mystery, the Descent of the Holy Ghost Upon the Apostles and Mary. The Fruit of this Mystery is: Love of God, and ZEAL.
Might I take this opportunity to once again recommend the Katadyn Pocket silver-impregnated ceramic water filter. This little guy can fully purify water from bacteria and protozoans in one pass, with a filter life equal to the volume of a home swimming pool (13,000 gallons).
There are LOTS of clerics and not a few prelates, and at this point a majority of the Remnant Faithful, who know, understand and believe that Jorge Bergoglio is not and never has been the Pope – an Antipope. I was told many years ago by a Vatican insider that there were “two to three dozen” Cardinals that “suspected that Bergoglio wasn’t the Pope”. Quite a few of those Cardinals have died, and most have crossed the voting threshold of Age 80 by now, not surprisingly.
What every single one of these men have said about the situation is this: “We just have to wait for him [Bergoglio] to die.” This toxic mindset of indifference and despair has spread throughout the Remnant Faithful, pushed hard by Trad Inc. and its self-anointed thought leaders, several of which are now exposing themselves as schismatics (denying the Papacy and/or the need to be in union with the Vicar of Christ on earth), 1958 sedevacantists, and some even as full-blown militant apostates.
Some talking heads are now trying to re-write history, claiming that the Church’s historical response to Antipopes was to just “wait it out”. I have no idea where these people are getting this, because it is so utterly and completely false that I struggle to find the words to adequately describe it. The Church has AGGRESSIVELY sought to resolve Antipapacies – and there have been DOZENS of them – such that nearly every Antipapacy has been identified and rectified WHILE THE ANTIPOPE WAS YET ALIVE AND CLAIMING THE PETRINE SEE. This is why the case of Antipope Anacletus II is so remarkable – he was one of the only Antipopes to die unrepentant of his crime.
This brings us to Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Yes, as he is now he is a despicable, loathsome man – one of the most evil men alive today, and in the history of the Church. Revolting in every sense. HOWEVER, he is loved infinitely by God, who died for Bergoglio with the same infinite specificity as He died for you. Christ’s infinite Mercy is every bit as available to Jorge Bergoglio as it is to you. Jorge Bergoglio’s sins could be instantly subsumed in the infinite ocean of mercy that is Our Lord’s Most Precious Blood.
So, someone please explain to me why it is that most people today have declared that Jorge Bergoglio is irredeemable, a complete lost cause, and that HOLY MOTHER CHURCH HERSELF has no interest in attempting to correct him and get him back into his Baptismal Garment? That no one should even TRY to correct Bergoglio and get him back into the Catholic Church and the State of Grace?
Let’s leave to the side for just a moment the entire question of the unspeakable damage to souls that this man has done and continues to do, and will continue to do after his death through the scandal of his Luciferian anti-magisterium. Just for a second, let’s do what NO ONE is doing. Let’s consider Jorge Mario Bergoglio himself as a human being.
The position that Jorge Bergoglio is beyond redemption and MUST be written-off as lost to hell WHILE HE IS YET VERY MUCH ALIVE is 100% totally contrary to the fundamental essence of Christianity. This is a huge reason why Holy Mother Church has ALWAYS aggressively sought to rectify and end all previous Antipapacies: for the good of the usurper himself, as well as for the good of the Church Militant in toto.
Do we honestly believe that Our Lord, the Good Shepherd, looks upon Jorge Mario Bergoglio, lost sheep that he is, and is saying, “Nah. I don’t give a damn about THAT ONE. Let THAT ONE go. Don’t even try, don’t even bother.” IF that applies to Antipope Bergoglio, if Bergoglio is a total write-off in the eyes of Jesus Christ, I wonder, who ELSE might be declared a “total write-off”? Are we seeing the horrific scandal that this position incites? There are two types of scandal: scandal that incites others to sin, and scandal that incites others to LOSE THEIR FAITH. If churchmen and professional Catholics openly despair of a man who has not yet died and COULD EASILY repent, be shriven and totally reconciled to Jesus Christ and His Holy Church before any of us sit down to dinner tonight, then what about anyone else? To say that Antipope Bergoglio has no access to the Sacraments is every bit as absurd as saying… that there are no black cassocks in Rome.
Do we honestly believe that the entire Church Triumphant would NOT celebrate the repentance of a sinner so great as Jorge Mario Bergoglio? I have said for many years now that Antipope Jorge Mario Bergoglio COULD be the Anti-Judas Iscariot – COULD BE. But it seems that everyone has decided that the spiritual works of mercy are no longer a thing. Admonishing the sinner? NAH. DON’T EVEN BOTHER. Just wait for him to die. It’s SOOOO much easier that way. And besides, that’s what The Church has always done….
Except that is what The Church has NEVER, EVER done. Because that is totally antithetical to the Church’s entire mission and raison d’être. The Church exists for the Salvation of Souls, including Antipope Jorge Bergoglio’s – for his every bit as much as for yours and mine.
Let’s start calling out this evil, scandalous Calvinist double-predestination “born reprobate” heretical nonsense about indifferently surrendering Antipope Bergoglio to hell and “just waiting for him to die”, not only because it doesn’t solve the problem of resolving the Antipapacy, but because the Second Great Commandment DEMANDS that we do what the Church has always done with Antipopes – reconcile them to Jesus Christ and His Holy Church so that they might someday achieve the Beatific Vision. We love our neighbor for the love of God. God made Bergoglio, God incarnated for Bergoglio, God suffered and died for Bergoglio, God rose from the dead so that Bergoglio might be saved. Deny this true base premise, and it’s a short logical jump to wondering if YOU, ME or ANY OF US MIGHT BE SAVED.
Pray the Matthew 17:20 intention, the third petition of which is and always has been: that Antipope Bergoglio repent, revert to Catholicism, die in the state of grace in the fullness of time, and someday achieve the beatific vision.
My mental jaw is still on the floor after your post about Mr. Mister’s “Kyrie”. I was born in November, 1976, and I can remember the day that my mother got that tape brand new in her first shipment from the Columbia Record & Tape Club. I’ve heard it for years on the radio, and I used to think it said “Carry a Laser”…like, I’m packin’ my Han Solo blaster; I’m untouchable…” Even after discovering Tradition, and thinking, boy, that really sounds like he’s saying “Kyrie Eleison”, I refused to believe it. No way, I thought, could that make it past enough music-industry decision-makers to get on the radio and remain heavily played to this day, even in Canada.
Were the ’80’s really like that? I’m starting to look back to them now the way I imagined the ’50’s not too long ago. We didn’t really appreciate what we had, or imagine how much lower things could sink in thirty, forty years.
On this topic, thanks for putting up that old Don Williams video; my children and I love that song, and my little five-year-old daughter thinks “Madeleine Boy” (sic) is just a riot, with his red jogging-suit and guitar-faces.
God bless you.

The HUGE allegory in this performance is MANDOLIN BOY. Don Williams, the bass player, the keyboardist, and even the percussionist are reserved. But then, there, ever-present in the background is MANDOLIN BOY, dressed in solid bright red, the color of the Passion, of martyrdom… and of PENTECOST. There is MANDOLIN BOY bouncing and smiling, rocking out his mandolin solos, reminding us all that God hears the prayers of His people, and that YES, God is “planning a good day for me.” Let’s call that the understatement of the day, shall we?
But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love Him. Sed sicut scriptum est : Quod oculus non vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascendit, quae praeparavit Deus iis qui diligunt illum :
As events continue to accelerate, the confusion and enmity increases in proportion, unsurprisingly.
So. Let’s talk about Papal Infallibility. First of all, Papal Infallibility is a very, very real and very important thing. It isn’t a pious fabrication, or the domain of “stupid, uneducated rubes who can’t handle reality.” Papal Infallibility is an infallibly defined dogma, is an absolutely essential component of Sacred Tradition, has been held by EVERY saint and EVERY doctor of the Church (even before its formal definition, obviously – that is why it could be formally defined, it wasn’t an innovation), is testified to by nearly 2000 years of history, is totally logical, and is CLEARLY stated and established by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the Gospels.
Further, the Divine Providence is PERFECT in Its designs. Thus, it stands to reason that the Divine Providence saw to it that Vatican I formally, infallibly defined and codified Papal Infallibility PRECISELY SO THAT THE CHURCH MILITANT COULD EASILY IDENTIFY A FORTHCOMING ANTIPOPE, namely Jorge Mario Bergoglio. If a putative “Pope” violates the infallibly defined dogma of Papal Infallibility… like, on a near-daily basis… then the faithful should, oh, I dunno, maybe check and see if anything sketchy, odd, unprecedented, illegal, or highly suspicious happened surrounding the putative “election” of said man, instead of declaring the Ecumenical Council that declared said dogma to have been “wrong”, and by rapid logical corollary declaring Our Lord to be an oath-breaking liar, and thus denying His very Divinity.
You would think.
You. Would. Think.
Tu es Petrus et super hanc petram, aedificabo Ecclesiam Meam.
Twelve years ago, every member of Trad Inc., as well as many conservative Novus Ordo Catholics would have made pretty much exactly the arguments I am making below about Papal Infallibility. The only thing that has changed is that they have adopted the false base premise regarding the identity of the Pope – namely that Jorge Bergoglio is now or ever has been the Pope. The result of this false base premise is a logical truth table that is vomiting nothing but SCANDAL, falsehood, error, heresy, schism, and apostasy. And satan laughs all the way to the Lodge.
Let’s start at the beginning with Jesus Christ (a very good place to start). Jesus Christ is God. I honestly think that a LOT of people either don’t quite buy this, or forget this slightly important fact. Being that Jesus Christ is God, He is infinitely GOOD. He is not a jerk who is trying to trick people. He is not a liar who breaks His promises. He is also not a moron, springing from the fact that He is omniscient and omnipotent. He foresees every possible contingency because He contains ALL information and exists outside of time, and His Providence provides PERFECTLY, whilst respecting human free will.
Part of the “not being a moron” quality of God Almighty is the fact that He knows how to set up His Church, which is His Mystical Body, His Bride, and His gift to mankind, through which men might be saved, and outside of which there is no salvation. God is also the Human Resources Manager par excellence. He knows how we are as human beings, and He has set up His Church to protect us from, well, OURSELVES.
Anyone who has ever had any experience in business, the military, parenthood, or heck, just being an actual honest-to-goodness grown-up, knows that whenever a group of people get together, SOMEONE has GOT to be in charge. Impotent or nebulous (meaning no one really knows who is in charge – either too many claiming power, OR no one stepping up) leadership yields chaos and failure. This is AXIOMATIC given The Fall. So, Christ said, “Thou art Peter, and UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH.” This was such a big deal that Our Lord changed Simon’s name to PETER so that humanity would be BEATEN OVER THE HEAD FOR ALL ETERNITY by the Holy Pun. Kepha-Kepha. πέτρα-Petram-Petrus.
What Our Lord also did with the words, “Thou art Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church” is establish the STANDARD OF SCHISM. How does one know whether they are in union with the Church that Jesus Christ founded or not? Simple. PETER. The standard of schism is UNION WITH PETER, because PETER and each successor to Peter’s See is the visible head of Christ’s Church on earth – the Church Militant. Anyone who denies that Peter is, alone and unique, the Rock upon which Christ built and sustains His Church, and thus denies Peter’s primacy and universal jurisdiction over the ENTIRE CHURCH on earth (such as the Eastern Orthodox, all protestants, etc.) is IN SCHISM. So, given that Peter is the standard of schism, it was and is utterly essential that Peter be RELIABLE. Here is where Papal Infallibility comes into play.
It is not possible for Jesus Christ, Infinite Love and Goodness, to put His Church or any of us as individuals into a catch-22 “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” position. This is NOT POSSIBLE. This certitude is a DIRECT corollary of Christ’s Divinity. IF you believe that Jesus Christ would or could put His Church into a situation wherein there are two choices, and both choices lead to damnation, then you very simply do not believe in Christ. This isn’t Star Trek. The isn’t the Kobayashi Maru “no win scenario” test.
Jorge Bergoglio is CLEARLY an apostate, an arch-heretic, only Catholic in the sense that he was baptized as a child, but OBVIOUSLY doesn’t hold the Catholic faith, and is obviously building a Freemasonic Antichurch. This is all glaringly OBVIOUS. So if a person assents to the OBVIOUS lies and false religion of Bergoglio, one is denying Christ. Agreed? Of course. To follow Bergoglio is to deny Christ. How then, could it possibly be, given the impossibility of the “catch-22 damned if you do damned if you don’t” scenario, that Jorge Bergoglio is the Pope? It isn’t possible. That’s the point. A thing cannot simultaneously be itself and its negation.
Furthermore, since Jesus Christ clearly established union with Peter (upon this rock…) as the standard of schism, and given human free will, and The Fall, doesn’t it stand to logical reason that Christ HAD TO bestow and confer the unique grace of SUPERNATURAL NEGATIVE PROTECTION upon the Petrine See precisely in order to render impossible the “catch-22” scenario from ever happening? Of course. IF you are going to make union with one man holding one Office the standard of schism, the difference between eternal beatitude and eternal damnation, as Christ clearly did, that OFFICE absolutely HAS to have Supernatural Protection so that the faithful can be absolutely certain that being in union with Peter will never be a damnable offense.
So, since we have already established that assenting to Bergoglio’s heresies and apostasies and eventually entering into the Antichurch which he is constructing is to deny Christ, then it MUST logically follow that Bergoglio is not Peter, and Bergoglio is NOT the STANDARD of schism, but rather the VECTOR of schism. Schism is the disease, and Bergoglio is the TICK that spreads it. The True Peter cannot be the vector of schism, and the standard of schism, because Peter cannot both BE and NOT BE The Rock. This is called the Law of Non-contradiction. Something cannot be both itself AND its negation. It is also called “God’s infinite, unfailing love for His Church and mankind.” It’s also called, “common sense.”
So WHAT IS PAPAL INFALLIBILITY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Papal Infallibility is an article of faith. In its simplest terms, the Pope is infallible because Jesus Christ is God, and He made the Petrine Promise. In much the same way, the Eucharist is transubstantiated former-bread and former-wine because Jesus Christ is God and He explained this in no uncertain terms in John 6. No one can explain the metaphysical mechanisms of Transubstantiation. No one can explain the Incarnation, nor the Hypostatic Union. No one can explain the physical mechanism of the Resurrection. Every one of these things, including Papal Infallibility, is an article of Faith.
Papal Infallibility is a NEGATIVE protection, which means that its workings are largely hidden to the world in the infinitude of the dataset, known only to God, of what COULD have happened, but was PREVENTED from happening. I remember when I was in college at K-State driving west on Highway 24 between Perry, Kansas and Topeka. A song I disliked came on the radio so I reached down to change the station and look for a better tune. As I did this, I reflexively backed off the throttle as I momentarily took my eyes off the road. I found a satisfactory station, and resumed speed. A few seconds later, some idiot in a late-70s Monte Carlo came barreling down the onramp onto 24 Highway, spun out of control careening across both lanes and went into the center ditch, and then back across onto the shoulder just ahead of me. Had I not momentarily backed off the throttle a half mile back and had I been a few hundred feet ahead of where I was, he probably would have taken me out. This VERY unscientific example somewhat demonstrates the concept of a negative protection. I am absolutely convinced that at the General Judgment, every human being will be shown every instance in which they were preserved from harm, and also had positive, “fortuitous” things happen in their lives, by these “passive” and “preventative” workings of the Divine Providence. From the rock in one’s shoe that caused one to stop, and thus not get hit by a motorcycle, to the decision to stop into THIS restaurant and not THAT restaurant, wherein one met someone who led to a job, etc. EVERYONE has stories of these kinds of events. With Papal Infallibility, the difference is that we have been told by God explicitly that this kind of protection is real, and guaranteed to be in force. We can’t see it, we can’t explain it, and the truth is that Papal Infallibility can manifest itself in incredibly subtle ways such that only the General Judgment will reveal its full workings throughout history. But we know it is real and in force because Jesus Christ is God. Period. It’s called FAITH. It’s a theological virtue. If you don’t have it, you better get it before you die.
My favorite example of the Supernatural Negative Protection of Papal Infallibility is what I have recounted before in this space about Pope Paul VI and the promulgation of Humanae Vitae. Paul VI Montini had promised all of his Freemason and sodomite friends that he would open the door to contraception as Pope. He assembled a “blue-ribbon panel” to study the question, and they, being the filthy infiltrators and heretics that they were, recommended the ratification of contraception “in certain circumstances” to Pope Paul VI. So, Paul VI Montini and his ghostwriters drafted Humanae Vitae, and it was submitted to the Holy Office/Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, at the time headed by Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani (a good guy). Cardinal Ottaviani, a good Thomist, took one look at the vomitous lies in the draft, deleted them, and replaced them with the now-famous paragraphs strictly forbidding contraception AND prophesying the calamitous effects that contraception would wreak on society. The document went back to Paul VI, and, thanks to the Supernatural Negative Protection of Papal Infallibility that he, being the legitimately elected albeit grossly unworthy Roman Pontiff and Successor to Saint Peter, enjoyed, Paul VI promulgated the document AS CORRECTED by Cardinal Ottaviani, and AGAINST his Freemason and sodomite buddies, who then turned on him and despised him until the day he died. Pope Paul VI died pretty much reviled by everyone – his cabal never forgave him for failing to ratify contraception, and the actual Catholics knew what a foul man he really was. Why did Paul VI promulgate Humane Vitae AS CORRECTED? Why didn’t he change it back? The specific mechanisms we will not know until the General Judgment. All we know until then is that the Supernatural Negative Protection preventing a catch-22 situation kicked in – because Jesus is Lord. Amen, and A-MEN.
ONLY SATAN AND HIS LITTLE HELPERS WANT A WEAK PAPACY
The virtue of HUMILITY means both knowing and acknowledging what you ARE NOT, but also what you ARE. For a Pope to be truly humble, and not merely engaging in a FALSE HUMILITY, he MUST know, believe and conduct himself as the Absolute Monarch with Universal Jurisdiction that he is. Isn’t it funny how satan really went to town in his attack on Holy Mother Church as soon as there were men upon the Petrine See who were loathe to exercise their authority as the Absolute Monarch that they were? Pope Paul VI Montini was the last Pope to be crowned with the Papal Tiara in ARSH 1963, and at the end of the Third Session of the failed Second Vatican Council in ARSH 1964, in an act of ostentatious false humility, he descended from the Papal Throne in St. Peter’s Basilica, ascended the High Altar, and placed his Papal Tiara on the altar as an explicit RENUNCIATION of the “human glory and power” of the Papacy in keeping with the “spirit of the (failed) Council”, and then directed that the Tiara be sold and the proceeds be given to … wait for it… the “poor”. No Pope since has been crowned. Only installed, and all have bent over backwards to project this same brand of false humility. If you think that it is a coincidence that satan went into overdrive at exactly the same time as the Popes started refusing to acknowledge and exercise their power as the Monarch of monarchs that they are, I have a big red bridge to sell you cheap.
The infamous example of this with Pope Benedict was when he received Bishop Fellay of the SSPX. Bishop Fellay is said to have asked Pope Benedict why he simply didn’t do what he saw fit to do, and what he (Pope Benedict) wanted to do to begin to correct the many problems in the Church. Pope Benedict is said to have pointed at the door of his office in which they were sitting and said, “My authority ends at that door.” That is, of course, totally wrong, and Pope Benedict was catastrophically wrong to NOT acknowledge his massive authority as the one and only living Sovereign Pontiff from April of ARSH 2005 until his death on December 31, ARSH 2022
Folks, all of these Trad Inc. people who intransigently insist against pretty much all evidence (which they categorically refuse to engage – you’ve noticed that none of them have any clue about the Canon Law arguments, and they constantly ask questions which I and others have been explaining and answering for nearly a decade now) that Bergoglio is Pope are all beating the Freemasonic-satanic drum that the Papacy is basically meaningless and powerless, has been all along, and anyone who actually believes in the authority of the Pope as bestowed by Christ and manifested for the past nearly 2000 years is STUPID, SUPERSTITIOUS, and AND IDOLATER. Because “Fwanciss” is Pope, shut up, stupid!
That’s right. A bunch of social-media addicted, underemployed laypeople have come to the conclusion that EVERYBODY has been all wrong about the Papacy, and that yes, the Church will be MUCH better off once everyone sheds their “superstitious papolatry” and accepts that Christ is a malignant liar who has put us all in an impossible catch-22 damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don’t situation,Vatican I was wrongand Papal Infallibility has been a superstitious crock for 2000 years (despite all evidence to the contrary), the entire Church including EVERY saint and Doctor of the Church has been wrong, and that the Law of Non-contradiction only applies when it suits Trad, Inc., namely that the Pope can simultaneously be the standard of unity AND its opposite – the vector of schism.
All of this is totally, completely, diametrically and catastrophically WRONG.
The problem with the Papacy is precisely that its power has NOT been wielded since Pius XII, in a nauseating betrayal borne of FALSE HUMILITY, and people, including the Popes since Pius XII, have lost faith in the Supernatural Protection and Monarchical Authority of the Papacy, first and foremost from the terrible example of the Popes themselves. We don’t need a LESS powerful and assertive Papacy – that is the agenda of Freemasonry and satan!! We need the restoration of the AUTHORITY and UNIVERSAL JURISDICTION of the Petrine Office, recognized and aggressively wielded by a valid Pope, which there has not been these 649 days and counting.
All of this is the fruit of the false base premise that Jorge Bergoglio is now or ever has been the Pope. And obviously so. False base premises yield logical truth tables with false, erroneous logical corollaries. In order to reason soundly and navigate the battle space, you HAVE to have a true base premise. The greatest act of violence that can be done to the Papacy is calling a man who is NOT Peter, “Peter”. What we are living right now today is what you get when you incorrectly and invalidly cede the authority of the Petrine Office to an Anti-Peter, who if he isn’t the False Prophet Forerunner of the Antichrist, is totally stealing his playbook and his thunder.
Finally, I’ll ask one last rhetorical question. What do you think the Pope will be like after the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (assuming that it is not concurrent with the General Judgment and Our Lord’s coming in Glory)? What do the prophecies say? Will the Pope of the restoration be a meaningless figurehead and groveling milquetoast of false humility, or will he be a bold, potent and virile Monarch who wields his power to defend Holy Mother Church from her enemies and rebuild her to glory? I think the answer is perfectly clear.
To believe as everyone before us, saints and doctors included in perfect unanimity, in the ABSOLUTE Authority of the Petrine Office is NOT IDOLATRY.
To have faith in the words of Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, recorded in the Gospels, and His promise of SUPERNATURAL PROTECTION of the Petrine Office, confirmed and promulgated as dogma by an infallible Ecumenical Council is NOT SUPERSTITION.
To hold the Catholic Faith whole and entire, and to be unflaggingly loyal and a staunch defender of the Petrine See and the Universal Jurisdiction of the Vicar of Christ, and refusingto call a usurper Antipope “Peter” is not now and NEVER CAN BE A SCHISMATIC ACT.
As always, I sure hope this helps.
(What do you think? Is this how it should be, or is it the mortal sin of idolatry against the First Commandment?)
