Cardinal Burke and Bishop Schneider call for prayer and fasting to prevent six “serious” theological errors and heresies contained in the Amazon synod working document from being approved.
Prayer is powerful, more powerful than most understand.
Can we not turn this power to something way more important? What’s that, you ask?
Well, there are two men wearing white, styled as pope.
There can only be one pope.
One we know was canonically elected; he’s still alive. He still wears papal attire, without seriously explaining why that is. Still wears a ring, which the new guy has been photographed kissing. Still calls himself pope, allows others to do so as well. He lives in the Vatican. Imparts his papal blessing. Has been quoted saying he has retained some portion of the Petrine ministry, remaining in the “enclosure of Peter”.
The other was elected after the first one supposedly abdicated after considerable outside pressure. You’ve never read this blog if you haven’t heard that there are serious concerns about whether this putative abdication was effective. The new one goes about promoting heresies, claiming to alter constant Church teaching and mollycoddling sodomites, perverts, criminals, apostates, and heretics. Also likes to condemn Catholics who still believe in the Church’s doctrines and who love the Rosary and the ancient Mass.
Now we have the latest outrage (about which we can muster so little outrage): a synodal working document that contains six “serious” theological errors and heresies, according to faithful prelates. And there is no one who does not believe that Francis is capable, if not eager, of approving them.
So, the question where it all starts and ends remains: which of these two men is actually the pope?
To state it another way, in the end who really cares if an antipope approves of heresy?
So, I ask: can we pray and fast to end the confusion and learn just whether the man called Francis is or is not an antipope?
Do we care?
Yes, indeed, we care. I think we’ve reached the point where it’s no longer possible to hunker down with our Rosary and other devotions and our assistance at Mass. I’ve been praying for repentance and conversion of you-know-who because, as you said, prayer is more powerful than we know. But we’d best start petitioning the Lord for some clear answers about whom we are expected to regard as His Vicar on this earth. I initially rejected the “invalid resignation” theory advanced by Miss Barnhardt and others, but I’m not sure that is a prerequisite to Bergoglio’s being an antipope. It’s all well and good for faithful prelates such as Burke and Schneider to do what they’ve done, but as I believe you have pointed out, that formal correction that was promised way back when would be even better.
You can pray for Antipope Francis all you like–for conversion, not intentions. Even if ‘Francis’ converts, however, he still won’t be pope.
But it would make all the difference for his salvation.
Bigger fish to fry–the fate of Holy Moher Church is at stake at the hands of this destroyer of all things Catholic–Francis the Apostate.
Remember this is the Pope of Stang; as St Louis rightly points out, he is the head of the very Homosexual Network Strangling the Church, exactly as Vigano’ charged with not even “one word” of denial by Antipope Francis on the merits!!
This is the same Network–led at the time by McCarrick, you may recall, who boasted he was canvassing votes for Bergoglio on the very eve of the Faux Conclave(!!)–that opposed, hamstrung and ultimately forced out Benedict, by compelling him to offer his resignation, couched however by Benedict in terms that resigned the ministry–which he thereafter nonetheless asserted he retains a part of, namely, the contemplative ministry–and not the office–which thereafter he maintained is irrevocable and forever–that’s Benedict on the the Petrine ministry.
Deep waters our Holy Father Benedict is swimming–pray for him, not the Antipope.

Way to go St Louis!
There is no more burning question today than: Who is the true pope.
Antipope Francis it is not.
Immaculate Heart, Pierced by the Seven Sorrows, Pray for us and clarify nay rectify the situation!
Viva Cristo Rey! Viva il Papa! Viva, Benedetto!
Antipopes do what they must do … and that means heresy, not holiness. From Amoris to JP II institute to Amazonia to everything else that follows: heresy flows out of him like a river.
Cardinal Burke and Archbishop Schneider have the power and the authority to proclaim and act against this antipope. We should pray and fast that they will gain the courage and wisdom to do so.
It is, by now, clear as day that the resignation was invalid. It takes a willful act against reason and one’s conscience to say otherwise. Everything that happened since, everything that will happen from now on is the product of that fetid heretical hinge (Cardinal) point in Church history … until some brave soul, some day, rises up in defense of the glory of God and His Bride.
Friends, he’s not going anywhere. Let’s imagine for a moment we get two Cardinals to say something worth hearing about Francis. They call him out in whatever way Cardinals would. It hits the media, they air it a little but suppress it or make it look like two rogue Cardinals are assaulting the kind and sweet pope for no reason, the remaining 99% of Cardinals criticize the “attack” or ignore it and run home to jump in their hidey holes. They circle the wagons, certain that they are making huge brownie points with Francis, which may pay off for them later when they are up for some promotion.
This is a God-sized problem. I have no idea what it would take to clear the house, but God knows, and since this is His Church, it is up to Him. We can ask for this or that, but even if we get it, it’s not likely the answer to what ails us.
Our direction is stay Catholic, more Catholic than when we began this lousy journey in 2013, pray, attend especially the Traditional Latin Mass (I don’t know how anyone is making it without it), obtain the sacraments, encourage Christians, our fellow Catholics, do not financially support FrancisChurch, warn Catholics about what’s going on when we can, and be the worst kind of thorn possible to the sodomites and apostates who have infested the church, in whatever way we can.
I am profoundly NOT expecting anyone in or out of the church to solve this problem.
I’m paraphrasing O Brother Where Art Thou, but we’re in a tough spot. We’re just going to have to leave it up to Our Lord and Our Lady.
Your blog would look extra orthodoxy if you had a link to BigPulpit.com ! 😉
We haven’t had a Pope since 1958 so we better pray and fast that we don’t take the mark of the beast in order to fill our bellies and care for our babies. What planet are you guys on? Can’t you see now what happened in 1958? Freemasons prevented a Pope from taking the throne somehow and we sat in our pews like a bunch of brain dead zombies; now no more Popes. Better prepare yourself for Apocalypse.
Would like to send you a copy of an article on how Benedict is in fact Pope, which Bishop Gracida calls “the definitive article on the subject of the ‘resignation’ of Benedict XVI,” but I don’t have your email. Your comments on it would be most welcome. If you are interested please send me your email address via frdbelland@netscape.net. God bless and Our Lady protect you always.

ppbxvi.org For all those fasting and praying, but wanting answers too.
Francis is an antipope.
Yes! I agree. Lord, please remove the scales from our eyes!
Well put, SLC.
So, the question where it all starts and ends remains: which of these two men is actually the pope?
Reminds me of another question: Which of the two sons did his Father’s will? Maybe actions speak louder than words.
