That time St. Bernard of Clairvaux singlehandedly exposed Antipopes “morally unanimously accepted” by the College of Cardinals and restored the True Pope. Thank God manly St. Bernard didn’t listen to the effeminate “there’s nothing you can do” despair merchants!

Q:  If we can’t trust the Church to tell us who the Pope is, doesn’t that mean the Church has defected? A: Well, apparently not, because Antipope Anacletus II was backed by a majority of Cardinals and the entirety of Rome with the exception of the Corsi family and illegitimately ruled EIGHT YEARS until his […]

St. Bernard of Clairvaux Treasure-trove

Since we now are specifically enjoining St. Bernard’s intercession with regards to the Bergoglian Antipapacy, here is a very small collection of quotations from St. Bernard, each one a priceless point of departure and reflection, particularly now during Lent: “There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is Curiosity. There are […]

Definitely worth a bookmark: Shameless crosspost of NonVeniPacem crossposting Dr. Mazza… “Declaration of Independence from Antipope Bergoglio”

Declaration of Independence from Antipope Bergoglio NonVeni Mark writes: Remember, “Antipope” is not a title, it is a criminal act, the crime being usurpation of the papacy. A non-Catholic cannot be pope. Even a material heretic places himself outside the Church, without a formal declaration. Furthermore, heresy causes automatic loss of ecclesiastical office for a […]

Q: Ann, I keep hearing that Antipapacies can only be determined after the putative Pope in question is dead. So why bother worrying about this now? A: This contention is what is known at Fordham Law School as “making **** up out of whole cloth”. I believe it is a second year course. Here is […]

Barnhardt Podcast #115: Forewarned is Forearmed

[Direct link to the MP3 file] In this episode, Mark and Ann are again joined by Dr. Edmund Mazza, further exploring his thesis that the words and actions of Pope Benedict suggest he has separated the functional aspects of the papacy from the ontological essence of the papacy, having himself retained the latter. In delegating […]

It’s All the Same: How the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Tactic Is Essentially the Same As the “Demythologization” Tactic Against the Papacy

I’ve been screeching for a decade now about how politics is pretty much Kabuki theater, and thus I just can’t see wasting my time (and yours) trying to parse as legitimate something which clearly isn’t.  BUT, I did watch with interest the AOC video that so many folks sent to me, and yes, I think […]
