‘Popesplaining’ Gone Wrong: ‘Pope’ Francis Rains on Michael Lofton’s Parade

‘Pope’ Francis Rains on Michael Lofton’s Parade

As we duly reported on this blog on Jan. 25, 2024, the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby — himself a mere layman on account of the general invalidity of Anglican orders — offered an invalid Mass (‘Eucharistic liturgy’) at the Catholic Basilica of St. Bartholomew in Rome, and he did so with the permission of ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio):

The nullity (invalidity) of Anglican orders was declared by Pope Leo XIII in his 1896 bull Apostolicae Curae.… READ MORE

Last year, on Apr. 18, 2023, a big fuss ensued over Anglican bishop Jonathan Baker offering a ‘Eucharistic celebration’ at the papal cathedral of Saint John Lateran in Rome. And rightly so, for not only is the Anglican religion (Church of England, known in the United States as the Episcopal Church) heretical and schismatic, but its clergy do not even have valid ordinations.

The nullity (invalidity) of Anglican orders was declared by Pope Leo XIII in his 1896 bull Apostolicae Curae.… READ MORE

Down on his Knees: Francis Kisses Feet of Four African Politicians

Bergoglio can’t kneel? My foot!

Francis kisses Feet of four South Sudanese Politicians

Francis’ knees never cease to amaze. Whenever kneeling is required or suggested for the worship of God, the 82-year-old Jesuit from Buenos Aires usually has terrible problems bending his knees (cf. Rom 14:11; Phil 2:10). But somehow it’s only then.

Genuflecting after the “consecration” of the Novus Ordo worship service? Too difficult. Kneeling in adoration before what he claims to believe is Christ in the Blessed Sacrament? Can’t do it — get him a chair. Kneeling on a comfortable kneeler before the Monstrance during the procession for the Feast of Corpus Christi?… READ MORE

Francis receives “Blessing” from Anglican “Archbishop” of Canterbury

Francis Receives “Blessing” from Archlayman of Canterbury

Mr. Welby “blesses” Mr. Bergoglio on June 16, 2014

On Monday, June 16, Jorge Bergoglio (aka “Pope Francis”) had his friend Justin Welby over, the so-called “Archbishop of Canterbury,” and decided to receive a “blessing” from the imaginary clergyman. As Pope Leo XIII definitively decreed in 1896, the holy orders possessed by Anglican clergy are invalid, “absolutely null and utterly void”:

Then, considering that this matter, although already decided, had been by certain persons for whatever reason recalled into discussion, and that thence it might follow that a pernicious error would be fostered in the minds of many who might suppose that they possessed the Sacrament and effects of Orders, where these are nowise to be found, it seemed good to Us in the Lord to pronounce our judgment.

From Layman to Layman:
“Pope” Sends Greetings to Anglican “Archbishop” of Canterbury

Like Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Anglican Justin Welby isn’t a Catholic either. The similarities don’t stop there, however: Neither Bergoglio nor Welby have ever been validly ordained to the priesthood, much less to the episcopacy. The occasion of this congratulatory message of “Pope Francis” to Archlayman Welby provides a welcome opportunity to review the evidence regarding this and remind people of the seriousness of the situation with the Novus Ordo Church and the Anglican Church:

Pope Leo XIII Declares All Anglican Ordinations Invalid

  • “Wherefore, strictly adhering, in this matter, to the decrees of the pontiffs, our predecessors, and confirming them most fully, and, as it were, renewing them by our authority, of our own initiative and certain knowledge, we pronounce and declare that ordinations carried out according to the Anglican rite have been, and are, absolutely null and utterly void.”
