The Resignation of Benedict XVI

A Carnival Jest

In these days, much is being said about the new book by Msgr. Viganò, in which the authoritative spokesman for the FSSPX writes that all «postconciliar popes are in a state of schism with the papacy» and considers them «enemies of the papacy». Personally, I consider John Paul II and Benedict XVI to be saints, and I strongly advise Viganò’s anti-papal and anti-council adversaries not to read this article. I have already addressed the issue of Benedict XVI’s resignation in my 2025 book, but since the Chair of Peter continues to be occupied abusively amid the total indifference of cardinals and bishops—including Viganò—it is by no means superfluous to revisit the topic.

The Letters 124 and 126 in Which St. Bernard of Clairvaux 'Photographed' the 2013 Coup d'État

Here is a concise summary (384 characters): Based on the letters of Saint Bernard defending the rights of Pope Innocent II against the antipope Anaclet (1130), Andrea Cionci draws a parallel with 2013: Benedict XVI not having renounced the Petrine 'munus,' his pontificate remained valid. The election of Francis was therefore canonically null. He was, like Anaclet, and as the antipope Leo is today, his successor, a usurper, for there can be only one pope at a time.

More facts, just plain facts. Because the Catholic faith is built on facts – the Incarnation, the Resurrection, the Ascension – and if we pay attention to the facts, we will be able to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches (Rev 3:13).
