If anyone should claim that Cardinal Burke and Monsignor Bux did NOT have the reality of Pope Benedict’s invalid abdication explained to them in excruciating detail, which they both acknowledged as intriguing if not incontrovertible, let him be anathema. I’ve seen the PowerPoints, y’all. It’s all in there.
Since a partial resignation is no resignation at all, the law (and plain reality) dictates that the situation reverts to the status quo. Hence the conclave of 2013 was wholly invalid, and could not have possibly elected a valid pope, since a valid pope yet lived, and continued to reign (whether he liked it or not). The burden of proof is so simple on this: If Benedict thought he remained “papal” in any way after 28 Feb 2013, his resignation was rendered invalid by the Substantial Error clause in Canon 188, the Properly Manifested clause in Canon 332.2, and quite possibly the Made Freely clause in the latter canon. Triple invalidation.
Miss B had multiple audiences, over a 22 month period, explaining all this. Email correspondence has been preserved. So now, after a respectful five years of holding all this in confidence, it’s time.
It’s worse for +Bux, whose deception has been laid bare in the past two weeks over Lettergate, wherein he stated in the Valli interview in 2018 that Benedict’s “resignation” was highly problematic and needed to be investigated, but now claims that Benedict had told him that idea was absurd, in a personal letter four years earlier in 2014. The man doesn’t seem to understand the inviolability of linear time. His enthusiastic encounter with Miss B was in early 2019, during which at no time did he inform her that Pope Benedict considered her thesis “absurd.”
As for ++Burke, at least he gets one thing right (Ann’s quote below):
“I have been personally assured by no less than his Eminence, the illegally deposed prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, that I am NOT schismatic nor in schism, and therefore neither are you “interregnists”. So we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.”
F.X. Wernz, P. Vidal: “Finally they cannot be numbered among the schismatics, who refuse to obey the Roman Pontiff because they consider his person to be suspect or doubtfully elected on account of rumours in circulation.” (Ius Canonicum, 7:398, 1943)
Rev Ignatius Szal: “Nor is there any schism if one merely transgress a papal law for the reason that one considers it too difficult, or if one refuses obedience inasmuch as one suspects the person of the pope or the validity of his election, or if one resists him as the civil head of a state.” (Communication of Catholics with Schismatics, 1948)
De Lugo: “Neither is someone a schismatic for denying his subjection to the Pontiff on the grounds that he has solidly founded [‘probabiliter’] doubts concerning the legitimacy of his election or his power [refers to Sanchez and Palao].” (Disp., De Virt. Fid. Div., disp xxv, sect iii, nn. 35-8)
Should anyone claim that interregnists are schismatic or in schism, let him be anathema.

Barnhardt Podcast #233: The Surreptitious Social Life of Ann
In this episode, Art and Ann are joined once again by NonVeni Mark and Dr. Mazza. Recorded on the feast of St. Augustine, Dr. Mazza shares some quotes and insights on the great Church Father. Then, as promised, Ann finally, after over five years of respectful silence, reveals her several extremely cordial and warmly-received presentations to high-level clerics and prelates regarding the invalid resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the Bergoglian Antipapacy. If the few remaining churchmen today won’t do their part to defend the Petrine See from usurpers, at least I know that I did mine given my state in life, by the unfathomable, and occasionally surreal grace of God. And I have been personally assured by no less than his Eminence, the illegally deposed prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, that I am NOT schismatic nor in schism, and therefore neither are you “interregnists”. So we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.

How inexpressibly interesting.
Kudos to Miss B for her scholarship and moxie of placing herself in the crosshairs and walking into the den of the lion.
There is a case in my diocese of a person removed from all lay ministerial positions for telling the Benedict-Bergoglio truth in Barnhardt terms.
This person was removed by the pastor but by order of the bishop.
The pastor bears significant responsibility for the outcome.
I am not at liberty at this time to say who and how, but I know what was said and done on both sides.
A key point is that the pastor was provided the very teaching of theologians your article quotes stating that schism has not occurred when one suspects the person of the pope or the validity of his election.
One surmises that the pastor did not bring up these theologians when he went to the bishop discuss the matter, since the bishop issued the removal order.
Prior to that, the pastor refused to allow the parishioner to lay out Benedict-Bergoglio truth, repeatedly cutting him off and not responding to emails.
There may be a legal position here.
However, the person doesn’t want a ruling that hinders the Church in any way.
Is there any other way than a secular court that justice might be served?
Because of this unfortunate situation, I would really like to obtain a copy of the PowerPoint presentation.
I realize it’s not possible at the moment, but I hope Miss B releases the emails at some point.
It’s not like losing a job, but I lost my position in my TLM chant schola because someone complained to the Msgr. I didn’t accept Prevost as Pope. Of course everything happened behind closed doors.
Yes, Uriel, you’re right. The person to whom I referred wasn’t given an audience with the bishop to lay out the solid objective reasons for doubt, nor was he given a single word that transpired between the pastor and the bishop.
I wonder if this person who complained against you talked to you first? That’s an obligation most people skip over, but it’s clearly required by Our Lord in Matthew 18:15, since your complainer considered your position wrong (but it wasn’t wrong), and it’s required to avoid rash judgment and calumny, as spelled out in the Catechism nos. 2477-2479.
Sorry you had to go through this. Testifying to truth is the way of the Cross that imitates Our Lord (cf. John 18:37) and obeys His command to “Follow me”. Your consolation is that Our Lord calls you worthy of Him, and He says by losing your life you have found it (cf. Matthew 10:38-39).
Thank you for your witness.
Thank you very much for your kind words. It’s difficult, but if it’s the worst that happens to me over this whole mess, God has definitely been merciful, knowing my weakness.
As for the particulars, well, I was informed by email on a saturday morning by the choir director that the Board for the Schola and the Msgr had asked (or “asked” more probably) for me to be kicked from the Schola. No Schola member nor any member of the clergy have talked to me or approached me about the matter since.
There have been only two occasions since the election I spoke of this matter in public, both times with the schola. The Schola director asked me very kindly in public on the Sunday following Prevost’s putative ascension whether I had a moral objection for the chants on the election of the Pope, knowing my position on Bergoglio, to which I replied that there were irregularities but that I conditionally accepted Leo as pope, unless he should demonstrate otherwise. There was another schola member who approached me for a private conversation in a public space about the particulars of why I didn’t accept Bergoglio as Pope, and whether my position on Prevost had changed (it had).
What grinds my gears is, first, that I was essentially tried and convicted in sealed court without the opportunity to defend myself, which is quite against custom; second, that at no time has ANYONE approached me for the purpose of correction, as is commanded of us by St. Paul for offenses of moral consequence.
So either no one gives a damn for the sake of my soul, or, more likely, this is a nakedly political move done for money, or perhaps fear of “scandal”. Because as we all know, “scandal” isn’t somebody offending scandalously, it’s someone telling the truth about a scandalous offense. /s
God has been very good to me, and given me the opportunity to turn even this small suffering to an occasion of grace. And, no matter my opinions of the matter, the service of the altar is a privilege, not a right.
I mean if I had other people’s money to travel with I would’ve done the same thing. Most things in life take money, not “moxie”.
Cue…Mr.O’R…in 1, 2, 3…
In the wake of the Annunciation school shooting, Leo is *reported* as saying that the problem is 1. guns, 2. lack of welcome for Trans in schools. Way wrong, Leo.
Gun control opinions can vary, and reports can be wrong, but any actual support for child trans – which is child butchery, the literal butchering of healthy child bodies – is criminal & heretical. I mean, anyone who does it may as well come out in favor of abortion, like Biden. Am I right?
Unfortunately, such common sense won’t stop certain people from declaring it a schismatic act out of threathening “caution”, appealing to lettered authority rather than your eyes and ears, whilst twisting into pretzels to legalistically explain away the controversies, whilst demanding unreasonable and unattainable burdens of proof from those who do see and hear the obvious.
Their “faithfulness” should rightly be characterized as hanging desperately over the cliff of despair.
Well well…

Who will come around faster on their errors?
Trump on Operation Warp Speed and the mRNA shots?
Or Burke on the Anti-Papacies?
Sadly, my money’s on Trump.
Meaningless. Trump has been saying they’re a miracle of modern medicine for almost 5 years. Remember Tiffany Dover? Trump did that. And everyone else.
And whatever mea culpa this fascist comes up with is way too little, way too late. Oh and his FDA is still rolling right along with mRNA and worse
Tiffany Dover did not die if that’s what you’re referring to.
Yes,she did. She’s dead. The woman NBC interviewed after 2 years of social media silence (she was an avid user) was not her.
A young schoolteacher did. Can’t recall her name.
What if Trump had done nothing 5 years ago?…as in, while covid was spreading across the world he ignored the fact and did nothing. What would you be snarling about now? You would be raging and ranting that “Trump did nothing! NOTHING I tell you!” Instead, Trump relied on Pfizer to tell him the truth, which they did not, and based on the information he received from the elites at BIG Pharma, he did Operation Warp Speed after being pressured to “do something!” by the screeching Left.
Susan – and the mandates were someone else. These good fellows will never be able to talk their way around that.
Who is worse: Smith & Wesson for making the Model 10 revolver, that people could buy or not buy, and use for different purposes? Or Al Capone, who decided to actually corner his enemies with it and force bullets into their faces?
Al Capone, obviously. Biden’s jab mandates violated the Nuremburg Code, and Biden should be tried & executed accordingly.
Johno – Biden, in refusing to admit his jab mandates were deeply evil, will outlast them both.
Mandates that represent 10 percent of total vaccinated and could not have happened without Trump authorizing the vaccine.
Indeed, by the time the evil fed mandate came about , most states and localities had already mandated the jab as is their right under the 10th amendment. Universities, schools, state and local employment.
Most private jobs had the mandate before evil Biden came up with the fed mandate. Why? Insurance reasons, of course.
In fact, Big Orange probably knew that he really didn’t need a fed mandate. As soon as the shot came out state, local, and private enterprise would mandate it.
I am not a partisan. I see things clearly. This entire mRNA bioweapon debacle is all Trump. Nothing that shot has done, nothing people have done with the shot, could’ve happened without the p—y grabber in Chief.
It’s just the truth. Now Trump hasn’t been seen in a while. People wonder if he’s sick. I don’t know, but I do know if he really cared about where he’s going to spend eternity, he should apologize to the nation for the evil he unleashed .
The ball is in your court. PROVE that Tiffany Drover is dead. What’s your source?
Suze, you can go down the rabbit hole yourself but I will say: she doesn’t work at the hospital anymore, no one can find her working anywhere, she hasn’t posted on social media for 5 years, and her husband bought a new house a couple of years ago, according to land records. Could that be some sort of settlement?
The shot kills. I know far too many people with sudden cancers, sudden death, strokes and aneurysms for it to be a coincidence.
She’s dead. If she’s not dead she’s gravely ill and under lots of care.
The ball is in your court to show how the shot is safe and effective. As time goes on people want to forget the biggest attack on humanity in history. I won’t allow that.
As Father Gruner and Father Malachi Martin would have put it, they didn’t get the grace. I blame myself. I’m not praying or sacrificing near as much as I could be. I could do so much more! I feel like Liam Neeson at the end of Schindler’s List. “I could have got more.”
I think the pandemic of weapons is more important.
Mike, I never said that the shot was safe and effective because I never believed that. My children pressured me to get it but I kept refusing until they gave up. My answer to them was the infamous leftist saying – “My body, my choice”. I worked all through the pandemic because the company was “essential” and didn’t get Covid until the end. Got long covid…had it for 6 months and it was awful. It began with the cough which wouldn’t go away until I took a teaspoon of Ivermectin for horses – apple flacored. The cough disappeared within 2 hours but I still had long covid with 2 emergency room visits within 2 days and months of doctor appointments. Yet, I find no evidence that Tiffany Dover is dead.
