“In fact, they argue that to deny that Francis is the true Pope is a sin against the Faith.”

In fact, they argue that if you believe that the pope is a different man than the man they believe is pope, then you are in SCHISM. I rather think it is a species of the leftist tactic wherein everyone who disagrees with me is literally Hitler.
I post here a condensed version of a letter, from an anonymous priest, to Bishop Gracida:
Original HERE

Dear Bishop,
I wish to comment on your Open Letter to the Cardinals of the Church :
The above Open Letter is absolutely brilliant! …
Most people have a very strong position that Francis is Pope due to the fact that an Infallible Dogmatic Fact arises when a Cardinal is validly elected as a Successor of Peter. The book by John Salza and Robert Siscoe, True or False Pope?, has been hailed as a powerful source for that position, given their treatment on Universal and Peaceful Acceptance of a Pope. However, I have challenged that position precisely because there is apostasy within the Church…
I have argued with Mr. Siscoe, advancing quotes in support of my position from the renowned theologian Canonist Canon Herve, that given the Apostasy WITHIN the Church today, (which was foretold by Our Lady at Fatima and indeed is part of the Third Secret of Fatima per Cardinal Ciappi, Papal Theologian to Pope John Paul II, when he said that “The apostasy in the Church begins at the top”), there CAN BE NO TRUE UNANIMITY, I.E., UNIVERSAL ACCEPTANCE…
Furthermore, St. Pius X states in his Encyclical on Modernism: “And now with Our eyes fixed upon the whole system, no one will be surprised that We should define it to the synthesis of all heresies. Undoubtedly, were anyone to attempt the task of collecting together all the errors that have been broached against the faith and to concentrate into one the sap and substance of them all, he could not succeed in doing so better than the Modernists have done. Nay, they have gone further than this, for, as We have already intimated, their system means the DESTRUCTION NOT OF THE CATHOLIC RELIGION ALONE, BUT OF ALL RELIGION.”
Since that Encyclical how many modernists have entered the Church, are today running the Church and are bereft of “ALL RELIGION”? I don’t know how Mr. Siscoe and Mr. Salza can argue that there is truly a “Consensus fidelium” and thus that we have the assurance that Francis is the true Pope. In fact, they argue that to deny that Francis is the true Pope is a sin against the Faith. And this is why I personally believe that Benedict, whose renunciation actually indicates that he intended to maintain the Petrine Office, is the true Pope and remains the true Pope until he dies. (edit: or until he VALIDLY resigns)

Thank you Fr. Anonymous. Prayers for your protection in the persecutions to follow for stating this truth.

Thank you for that post! Many in the church, who are not theologians, but simply listen to Jesus speaking through his prophets know from the very beginning that Francis is a false pope. Even more than that, he is a so called apocalyptic False Prophet. He came to destroy the church. Following the prophecies, I would like to add that schism is coming and that with time he will introduce one world religion. I know, that once you debate if he is true of false, you are loosing precious time for protecting all what is holy in the church. The true church will go underground.

You want to know the future of our church – read these already proven (by Francis) prophecies. Many are prosecuted for a true word coming form the Lord!

So a priest agrees with this train of thought and has made a personal decision that Benedict is the Pope…how does this help towards the resolution of a problem that has languished unsolved, with no actual remedial action taken for more than six years?
Regardless of who is Pope, we should live in such a way that is indicative of our beliefs and in accord with a thoroughly educated conscience, according to the perennial teachings of The Church.
With all the necessary information at our literal fingertip, there is little excuse for invincible ignorance these days
Either way, Christ is not sleeping while the Barque of Peter is tossed by evil forces.
He is in fact steering His Church towards it’s final port, after a 2000 year journey.
We need to remember, especially at times like this, that St. Joan of Arc was mischaracterized by the leading Church authorities of England in her day and burned to death as an unrepentant, excommunicated heretic.
I fear much of the German hierarchy (along with others in powerful positions of authority) can only wish they had such power against those who don’t go along with their scheming. And, at this unprecedented time in Church history, the Pope seems to be on the side that would falsely condemned St. Joan for political purposes.
“Pray, hope & don’t worry”
(St. Pio of Pietrelcina aka Padre Pio).

The universal acceptance could be a tricky concept when it is achieved by fundamental error, or by coercion or deceit.
The universal acceptance that the naked emperor wears sumptuous clothes, or that the earth is flat, or that a tyrant is the caring father of a nation, doesn’t change the reality of the deception.
I think that a universal acceptance is different from an unanimous and freely formed opinion; the first is passive, while the second is closer to an active decision after consideration. Perhaps “Santo Subito” is an example of an universal sentiment and opinion, understood through only two words by every Catholic, while the concept of universal acceptance to try to validate what our catholic hearts (sensus fidei) reject must be painfully and extensively explained to support a thesis that is at odds with what we are witnessing.

This is a bit off topic but then again maybe not. On June 23, 2019 at his Corpus Christi Mass in Rome, Pope Francis uttered a heretical statement. I a layman think so anyway. Here it is: “The Eucharist teaches us this (speaking about love) for there we find GOD HIMSELF IN A PIECE OF BREAD’” is the Pope not denying the real presence of Christ? He is not present in a piece of bread. This is Protestantism is it not? He should be charged with heresy … The Synod can be stopped in this manner.

The factor of Pope Benedict’s faulty ‘resignation’ is the first premise as to why Bergoglio is not pope. Pope Benedict is still Pope and this so-called ‘resignation was forced by the wolves surrounding him. Let us pray for Holy Mother Church.

St. Thomas Cajetan, O.P. (1469-1534)
Theologian and Cardinal
He points out that the famous axiom “Ubi Petrus, ibi Ecclesia” (Where the Pope is, there is alsothe Church) holds true only when the Pope acts and behaves as the Pope,because Peter “is subject to the duties of the Office” otherwise,”neither is the Church in him, nor is he in the Church.”

St. Vincent Ferrer taught that to give papal cult to a false pope is a sin against the First Commandment and is a sin of idolatry

  That’s quite something since he was the one following a false pope!

    Mark—St. Vincent followed the Antipope Benedict XIII (Pedro Cardinal de Luna) for a time—as the pope Urban VI was like Bergoglio a psychopath, and whose election was questionable—but came ‘round to defend the true pope when Cardinal de Luna’s intransigence would not be constrained. Particularly Benedict had agreed to stand down and recognize the result of the Council of Constance. He reneged however. Thus losing him his countryman Vincent’s support.
    Unlike Bergoglio, and like almost all other Antipopes, at least Benedict XIII was Catholic.

In order for any of us Catholics to recognize the apostate Bergoglio as Pope, first of all he would have to be a Catholic. Bergoglio could never become Pope because from Argentina Bergoglio no longer professed the Catholic faith and for this fact he was disqualified because he was already an apostate. And the Magisterium of the Church teaches that the elevation to the papacy of a heretic, a woman or a child is invalid and void. https://gloria.tv/video/KzqopZSWk4Jj1kbhJEWUipz8F

Thank you. The truth is winning, I think.
It seems a travesty to call Bergoglio pope. Some who do have gone quiet of late.

  Since the emergence of the AntiChurch is now an undeniable reality, those who defend Berg as pope will have to answer the question of who is the earthly head of the AntiChurch.
  And when they have answered that question honestly for themselves, then they will be prepared to look again at Benedict’s continues presence, and finally understand.

To have a Consensus fidelium you need to have a fidelium, and they need to consensus. Given the state of most of the “believers” in the Church these days, I’d say there are but a mere handful of “fidelium” left, and they hardly “consensus” that Bergoglio is Pope.
