Comment Prof Rist marvels at the crisis that he deems potentially worse than that of the Arians if the 4th century. I agree. In both belief in Christ and the nature of His body, Holy Mother Church, are at risk.
But what precedes this current crisis? The unprecedented election that left us, by design, with two visible Popes for the first time in history in disobedience to the direct Word of revelation of Jesus Christ at our founding. Pope Emeritus with the Office; and another Pope with the Ministry – both visibly, physically, obviously occupying the same Vatican space?
Prof Rist sees these facts and concluded “I think this pope was validly, though irresponsibly, elected”. Even though all the evidence demonstrates that something went terribly, terribly wrong from the moment of the invalid resignation that left the Pope (Benedict XVI) in the Office, unchanged, in disobedience to Canon Law and Sacred Tradition.
The man the RC Church presents to the Faithful as Pope presided over a witchcraft Wicca demon-god enthronement, conducted by about 20 witchcraft shamans, in the Vatican Gardens, accompanied by numerous of his Cardinals. How is this even possible if Bergoglio is a validly elected Pope?
Even in the time of Arius, there has never – *never* – been a Pope who manifestly promoted and advanced apostasy within the RC Church.
Bergoglio’s errors are so grave and his attacks against the Faith so fundamental that if he were truly Pope, I can say with certainty that the whole religion is a lie.
