The Facts About “Pope Benedict XVI” – Joseph Alois Ratzinger
What You Need To Know About the Man
who Claimed to be the Pope from 2005-2013
“Benedict XVI”
On April 19, 2005, the German “cardinal” Fr. Joseph Ratzinger was elected “Pope” Benedict XVI. This page is dedicated to demonstrating that Ratzinger’s beliefs and actions reveal that he was not a Catholic, and therefore he could not possibly have held the highest office in the Catholic Church, the Papacy.
The Impossibility of Judging or Deposing a True Pope
He judges all and is judged by no one: the Pope
Accepting the Vatican II Sect as the Catholic Church has consequences. So does believing that Jorge Bergoglio is the Vicar of Christ despite being a public apostate: If he is a valid Pope, then there is no power on earth that can undo his papacy. If he is truly the successor of St. Peter, then he can resign voluntarily, but no one can take the pontificate from him.
This clear truth does not sit well with many in the “Recognize-and-Resist” (aka “Semi-Traditionalist”) camp, now that Francis is so obviously a non-Catholic and so clearly doing grave damage to Catholicism.
Season 2 of our popular podcast program “TRADCAST” continues with the release of episode 012 (Feb. 26, 2016). In this podcast, which runs almost 1 hour in total, we cover a number of things related to the latest efforts of the SSPX/Resistance camp to avoid the conclusion that Jorge Bergoglio, “Pope Francis”, cannot be a valid Pope. We begin by noting that a dangerous 19th-century error is gaining ground among the Semi-Traditionalists of today, namely, the idea that a valid Pope can be deposed/removed by his inferiors.… READ MORE
In a nutshell, the host of The Vortex and senior executive producer of ChurchMilitant is telling his viewers that, sure, Francis may be saying all sorts of nutty, false, even heretical things, but hey, this has probably been the case many times before in Church history, we just never heard about it because back then they didn’t have all the fancy media and communications tools we have today.… READ MORE
We all know that Francis likes to talk a lot, and he especially likes to point out what, in his view, is required to be a “true” Christian: You must be this way or that way, and you cannot do this or that. For example, you must always “include”, you must welcome everyone without distinction, you cannot be a [insert Bergoglian insult of your choice], you cannot have a funeral face, you cannot have a flight-attendant smile, you cannot be “closed in on yourself”, etc., ad nauseam.… READ MORE
False Resistance Theology:
The Pope Speaks — You Decide!
Who needs a Pope when you can have self-appointed sifters and resisters?
It looks like this year is shaping up to be a veritable armageddon between the false traditionalist recognize-and-resist position and Sedevacantism. Very good, let it be so, for this is an all-important issue. The current strategy being executed by John Salza & Robert Siscoe — authors of True Or False Pope? — appears to be that of an attempted one-two punch of flooding the debate with a flurry of short articles so as to try to overwhelm us, and using a “divide-and-conquer” tactic by focusing on matters on which sedevacantists do not agree so as to prevent a unified response and paralyze us, as it were, perhaps hoping we will yell at each other instead of Salza and Siscoe.… READ MORE
The Opinion of Francisco Suarez on the Question of a Heretical Pope
As Neo-Traditionalists John Salza and Robert Siscoe begin to ship the first copies of their new book against Sedevacantism to their hapless recipients, we continue to rain on their parade by refuting some of the errors we expect to see in their work, which have been around for decades. The following is an excerpt from John Daly’s book against the pseudo-traditionalist pioneer and SSPX apologist Michael Davies (1936-2004), whose research and argumentation has long been the bedrock for probably most of the English-speaking world on traditionalist issues, including Sedevacantism.… READ MORE
Francis boldly promotes One-World Religion in new “Pope Video”
Chaos Frank has done it again! He just never disappoints. He is the best advertisement for the Catholic theological position of Sedevacantism we have ever had.
Timed perfectly — by divine providence — to coincide with the official release of the new anti-sedevacantist book, True Or False Pope?, the indeed very false “pope” currently occupying the Vatican (Jorge Bergoglio) has released an official so-called “Pope Video”, the first in a series of monthly clips in which the “Holy Father” personally announces his prayer intentions for the universal church.… READ MORE
The “Chosen People” No More:
Pope Pius XI clarifies Catholic Teaching on the Jews
At a time when the Vatican II Sect celebrates 50 years of its anti-Catholic document Nostra Aetate, the decree on non-Christian religions issued by the Second Vatican Council in late October 1965 and promulgated with the full (supposed) authority of the false pope Paul VI, Novus Ordo Watch is pleased to make available a complete translation of the decree Cum Supremae of the Holy Office, issued in 1928 (link and quotes further below). This document is significant inasmuch as it reinforces the traditional and true pre-Vatican II Catholic teaching on the Jews, teaching that is gravely at odds with the judeophilic hysteria we have seen since the second half of the twentieth century, especially among “Popes” and other clerics, as well as laity, in the Novus Ordo Church.… READ MORE
On those “Pitfalls of False Logic”:
A Response to the Blogger Mundabor on the Papacy
On Nov. 5, 2015, the English blogger Mundabor published a post entitled, “Keeping The Faith: The Pitfalls Of False Logic”. As is his usual style, Mundabor offers a mix of verbal assault coupled with ignorance of Catholicism, combining a contemptuous language with plenty of rash claims devoid of any actual Catholic theology. This is confirmed by the fact that he does not even attempt to quote any Catholic authority to back up anything he says. Absent this, what he says is simply his opinion, although even that would be fine if at least it were properly informed and correct.… READ MORE
Granted, we are a bit late in covering this, but this should not detract from its importance, which is not at all tied to the time it was first published.
On March 30, 2014, the Semi-Traditionalist biweekly publication The Remnant released another video of a chit-chat between its editor, Minneapolis-based Michael J. Matt, and Virginia-based contributor Christopher A. Ferrara. In this episode of the so-called “Remnant Forum”, the two discuss the latest (at the time) theological chaos in the institution they still believe to be the Immaculate Bride of Christ.… READ MORE
St. Robert Bellarmine’s Defense of Popes said to have Erred in Faith
The folks at Mediatrix Press have released another gem of St. Robert Bellarmine, the great 17th-century Jesuit cardinal who is the Church’s foremost single theologian on the papacy. For the first time now available in English, Papal Error? A Defense of Popes said to have Erred in Faith is an excerpt from Cardinal Bellarmine’s larger treatise De Romano Pontifice (“On the Roman Pontiff”), Book IV. The translator is Mr. Ryan Grant, and the English-speaking world owes him a tremendous amount of gratitude.… READ MORE
At a time when everyone’s attention is on the turbo-charged open Modernism of Jorge Bergoglio, aka “Pope Francis”, it is important not to neglect to look back at his five predecessors of infelicitous memory, in order to remember that their heresies, errors, scandals, and blasphemies were no less outrageous than his, but simply carefully packaged in deceptive wrapping paper that gave somewhat of an appearance of orthodoxy and piety.
Let’s be clear about what these monsignors and other priest alleged. 1. That Zanchetta, later appointed by Francis to assess the Vatican treasury, gave political support to local government officials supplying him with ‘large sums of money’. 2. That, according to Zanchetta…
Today Francis once again did what he does best: naturalize the supernatural, taking a Gospel truth and reducing it to a level devoid of the supernatural: "To guarantee lasting peace, we must return to a recognition of our common humanity and place fraternity at the centre of…
New Naturalist #PopeFrancis blather to World Meeting on Human Fraternity: "Charter of the Human", "grammar of humanity", "spirituality of fraternity".... - https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2024/may/documents/20240511-world-meeting.html #catholictwitter #BeHuman
But as all good semi-trads know, they will first need to wait for Peter Kwasniewski, Taylor Marshall, or Kennedy Hall to weigh in and tell them whether it is safe to accept or not.
