Pope Benedict 16 is still the one and only pope as his attempt to bifurcate the papacy was in great error and thus invalid per Canon 188.

Anti-pope Bergolio will hold on to his power 'til the end.

Holy Mary, un-doer of knots, pray for us.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.

Well if anything, the latest antics have prompted myself to finally get it in gear and get to 1st Fridays and Saturdays one way or another. I’ve also found where we can do adoration. I have no clue what I’m doing or how to go about such things with two small little girls. But I feel the urge to make it happen even if we completely fail in the execution!

Pope Francis should resign, and the College of Cardinals elect Archbishop Vigano.

Henry Ptak • 5 years ago

He'll never do it, because he would have to confine himself to "yes" or "no" answers, without the labyrinthine qualifications and idiosyncratic polysyllables of the textbook modernist. Francis will just ignore the questions (which given his history is probably not such a bad thing at that). A good time to review Pascendi and Quanta Cura.
In Vigano veritas.

Francis The Wicked making the profession of faith??? He will make a thousand for the media and then turn around and still spread heresies over and over again. This guy is a callous heretic and a careless, oppressive evil operator. His wickedness to the Church and the faithful turns pale the combined errors of all the popes before him.

But this is the money quote!

“More useful” than a fraternal correction, he said, would be to examine the “juridical validity” of Pope Benedict’s XVI’s resignation and “whether it is full or partial.” Jesus, he said, did not give the keys of heaven to Peter and Andrew but “said it only to Peter.” Such an “in-depth study” of the resignation, he said, could help to “overcome problems that today seem insurmountable to us.

It’s a weird security protocol on some servers. Click “Details” and then “access the questionable site” or words to that effect. It’s just Pentin’s own website, nothing scary.

This story should lead every Catholic media site. This is huge! Another Vigano here in my opinion. God be with him.

Any this quote is the bombshell....

Coud be. But, perhaps there is ' betterluck' with proving him a heretic.
It would be good for the laity and the holy religious to see that our Church leadership is prepared speak out in Truth......correction is gravely needed.

I think Jorge Bergoglio is a Christian relativist, an inter-denominationalist. He admires Martin Luther at least as much as he admires any Pope other than Paul VI and John XXIII, but Bergoglio is not Orthodox Lutheran. He clearly supports many things near and dear to the hearts of contemporary Lutherans and Anglicans - and to many Methodists, Pentecostals, Unitarian-Universalists, etc. I think he wants to arrange a synthesis among those groups and the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches.

Just think about a church, the One World Church, that has a theology and praxis that are approximately 1/3rd Vatican II Catholic, 1/3rd liberal Eastern Orthodox, and 1/3rd Mainline Protestant, with snippets from various low church Pentecostal groups.

The lesbian and gay former Lutheran and Anglican bishops would be promoting James Martin for Pope. Mark Shea would be so excited he'd never be able to stop wetting his pants.

I'd argue he is a universalist. All religions are paths to God and sufficient. His admiration for the religion of peace is dumbfounding. In the light of Christian persecution in the mid-East. The author of "The Crucifix on Mecca's Front Porch" recounts how an Egyptian Jesuit priest visited Francis and told him how Egyptian Christian's (mostly Copts but a growing Pentecostal presence) are being oppressed by the Muslims in that nation. Francis would have none of it and brushed him off. He clearly believes in a one-world federation of religions. And is pursuing such. A one world church under the Vatican could come about if the globalists prevail. But they won't as Muslims will refuse to submit. Of course the Muslims are globalists in their own way - they are working towards a worldwide caliphate. Many have said the great conflict at the end of this century will be between the secular globalists and the religious globalists - the Muslims who by late this century could be 60% of the world's population. .

I hold that he's a Satanist - his passion for chaos, scandal, and destruction is simply overwhelming.

When a Vatican theologian suggests to the world that the pope needs to make a profession of faith he's setting off all six alarms. He's saying the pope is falling into heresy. The pope seems to have lost the faith to such an extent that he must be challenged to make a public profession to the contrary. This is a thundering indictment--and not a mere plea for personal clarification. Coming from Bux, it's also a shot to the heart of this pontificate. God bless Msgr Bux!

Marcus Aurelius Tarkus • 5 years ago

Nothing more deserves a just death penalty than the papacy of Francis. Repent and resign, holy father!

BioFeed • 5 years ago

The Pope must do this, the Pope must do that. These "demands" are pointless. The equivalent of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The Pope and the Vatican are promoters of the secular/one world/LGBT agenda. The Pope will do noting to reverse course or prove he retains any semblance of the orthodox faith. He is in total control now and there is essentially no opposition. Just one or two bishops out of thousands in the world. If you look at his episcopal appointments he has insured the secular control of the Church will continue for generations. The next Pope will make the moves Francis can't quite yet. Female ordination, acceptance of abortion if a woman's conscious so directs her and on and on.
Profession of faith? Truth be told most bishops and priests in the West do not believe and could not make the profession. They surely don't believe in hell and eternal damnation based on their behavior, direct or indirect, in promoting the LGBT and secular agenda. When I was inquiring into Catholicism (during Benedict's reign), I spoke with about a dozen priests. Half of them openly said they did not believe in the Real Presence. Some of the others did but said I did not need to accept it to enter the Church. When I asked about outreach/evangelization (coming from an evangelical background) to a person they downplayed it and said it has been superseded by social justice work. None were particular "excited" I was inquiring - as if it didn't matter if I stayed evangelical or became Catholic.
Faithful Catholics can keep asking for professions of faith or clarification of AL or the change in dogma on the death penalty but to no avail. A waste of time - those same folks will be asking for a profession from the next Pope when he allows for female ordination This strategy won't work but the Pope and the hierarchy are probably happy to see it happen as if takes away any effort at a real solution to the problem. I'll leave it at that other than to say, IMO, that the Roman Catholic Rite can't be salvaged at this point.

I ran into the same issues with the local RCIA leader. So never converted. Still trying to find the true Church. Where should I look now?

So you would have preferred to wake up this morning and NOT read that Msgr. Bux has challenged this miserable pope to his face? I don't get it. Why does someone doing the right thing (even if it's not enough, in your opinion) make you upset? You'd prefer silence and implicit compliance to the man standing up and shouting across the Tiber: BASTA!?

When a Vatican theologian suggests to the world that the pope needs to make a profession of faith he's setting off all six alarms. It's shock therapy, if nothing else. He's saying the pope is falling into heresy. The pope seems to have lost the faith to such an extent that he must be challenged to make a public profession to the contrary. Such an ultimatum is, in fact, a thundering indictment--and not a mere plea for personal clarification. Coming from Bux, it's also a shot to the heart of this pontificate. You should just go with it.

God bless Msgr Bux!

goatally_ewesome • 5 years ago

Indeed....God bless Mgr Bux. Of course it warms our hearts and cheers us up and gives us some hope when we hear these voices crying out in the wilderness....I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. In current circumstances, however, I can also see why BioFeed might see it as an exercise in futility. There are so few....and no-one is listening to them.

Thank you both Michael and the Monsignor for pointing out the gravity of this situation, The Francisterium is NOT the Magisterium! Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison

John O'Neill • 5 years ago

Several years after VII the pastor of a small parish , Seven Dolors, outside of Philadelphia decided to remove the sign in front of the church which stated: Seven Dolors Roman Catholic Church and change it from Roman Catholic Church to simply Catholic Church sans the Roman. Within ten to fifteen years the Church was closed and shuttered , another “bare ruined choir” of the modernist Church. The church in which I was baptized , confirmed, educated and served as an altar boy stripped all the altars and bundled up all the Latin Roman Missals for the furnace after VII. Today this old once beautiful Romanesque Church is a hollowed out hull filled with druggies and homeless. The fruits of VII are there to be seen everywhere and Bergoglio , the rottenest fruit of VII is there to be seen and heard every day in his corrupt media. The horse is long gone and the barn door is still opened. Only three hundred people showed up in Baltimore tp protest the perverted USCCB. We are indeed in parlous times and the solution is not at hand, most Catholics will not resist ; they will imitate the millions of Catholics in Tudor England and just roll over and pretend that Henry VIII’s Church is the real deal or they will just fade away into the mists of time.

Barbara • 5 years ago

Yes, it seems foolish (evil too) to insist that 'we all just get along' like Catholics, protestants, Muslims, Jews, pagans et al are supposed to form one big tent - a One World Religion. Can you imagine if each 'religion' spoke its creed all at the same time. Babel comes to mind.

Trying to force unity by arbitrarily grafting cults and denominations onto the Catholic Church is asking for chaos. Which is growing around the world.

Even to ask Pope Francis to support a Catholic Creed (or an Oath), let along proclaim that he believes in it is an exercise in futility. But let them have their day. We all die.
