This decision of mine, which is certainly painful, is not the result of haste or a spirit of rebellion; but rather is dictated by the moral necessity which, as Bishop and Successor of the Apostles, obliges me in conscience to bear witness to the Truth, that is, to God Himself, to Our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I face this trial with the determination that comes from knowing that I have no reason to consider myself separate from communion with the Holy Church and with the Papacy, which I have always served with filial devotion and fidelity. I could not conceive of a single moment of my life outside this one Ark of salvation, which Providence has constituted as the Mystical Body of Christ, in submission to its Divine Head and to His Vicar on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The enemies of the Catholic Church fear the power of Grace which works through the Sacraments, and above all the power of the Holy Mass, a terrible\u00a0<i>katechon\u00a0<\/i>which frustrates many of their efforts and wins to God so many souls who would otherwise be damned. And it is precisely this awareness of the power of the supernatural action of the Catholic priesthood in society that lies at the origin of their fierce hostility to Tradition. Satan and his minions know full well what a threat the one true Church poses to their antichristic plan. These subversives \u2013 whom the Roman Pontiffs have courageously denounced as enemies of God, the Church, and humanity \u2013 are identifiable in the\u00a0<i>inimica vis<\/i>, Freemasonry. It has infiltrated the Hierarchy and succeeded in making it lay down the spiritual weapons at its disposal, opening the doors of the Citadel to the enemy in the name of\u00a0<i>dialogue<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>universal brotherhood<\/i>, concepts that are intrinsically Masonic. But the Church, following the example of her Divine Founder, does not dialogue with Satan: She fights him.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>THE CAUSES OF THE PRESENT CRISIS<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As Romano Amerio pointed out in his seminal essay\u00a0<i>Iota Unum<\/i>, this cowardly and culpable surrender began with the convocation of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council and with the underground and highly organized action of clergymen and laity linked to the Masonic sects, aimed at slowly but surely subverting the structure of government and magisterium of the Church in order to demolish Her from within. It is useless to look for other reasons: the documents of the secret sects demonstrate the existence of an infiltration plan conceived in the nineteenth century and carried out a century later, exactly in the terms in which it was conceived. Similar processes of dissolution had previously taken place in the civil sphere, and it is no coincidence that the Popes were able to grasp in the uprisings and wars that bloodied the European nations the disintegrating work of international Freemasonry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Since the Council, the Church has thus become the bearer of the revolutionary principles of 1789, as some of the proponents of Vatican II have admitted, and as is confirmed by the appreciation on the part of the Lodges for all the Popes of the Council and of the post-conciliar period, precisely because of the implementation of changes that the Freemasons had long called for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Change \u2013 or better still,\u00a0<i>aggiornamento<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 has been so much at the center of the conciliar narrative that it has been the hallmark of Vatican II and has posited this assembly as the\u00a0<i>terminus post quem\u00a0<\/i>that sanctions the end of the<i>\u00a0ancien r\u00e9gime\u00a0<\/i>\u2013 the regime of the \u201cold religion,\u201d of the \u201cold Mass,\u201d of the \u201cpre-council\u201d \u2013 and the beginning of the \u201cconciliar church,\u201d with its \u201cnew mass\u201d and the substantial relativization of all dogma. Among the proponents of this revolution appear the names of those who, until the pontificate of John XXIII, had been condemned and removed from teaching because of their heterodoxy. The list is long and also includes Ernesto Buonaiuti, the excommunicated\u00a0<i>vitandus<\/i>, a friend of Roncalli, who died unrepentant in heresy, and whom just a few days ago the President of the Italian Bishops\u2019 Conference, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, commemorated with a Mass in the cathedral of Bologna, as reported with ill-concealed emphasis by<i>\u00a0Il Faro di Roma<\/i>\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farodiroma.it\/la-messa-di-zuppi-per-bonaiuti-il-profeta-scomunicato-dalla-chiesa-e-privato-della-cattedra-dal-fascismo-luigino-bruni-don-ernesto-ancora-attende-una-vera-riabilitazione\/\"><span class=\"s3\">here<\/span><\/a>):\u00a0<i>\u201cAlmost eighty years later, a cardinal who is completely in line with the Pope is starting again with a liturgical gesture that has in all respects the flavor of rehabilitation. Or at least a first step in that direction<\/i>.<i>\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>THE CHURCH AND THE ANTICHURCH<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I am therefore summoned before the tribunal that has taken the place of the Holy Office to be tried for schism, while the head of the Italian Bishops \u2013 identified as being among the\u00a0<i>papabili<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>completely in line with the Pope\u00a0<\/i>\u2013 is illicitly celebrating a Mass of suffrage for one of the worst and most obstinate exponents of Modernism, against whom the Church \u2013 the one from which according to them I am separated \u2013 had pronounced the most severe sentence of condemnation. In 2022, in the Italian Bishops\u2019 Conference newspaper\u00a0<i>Avvenire<\/i>, Professor Luigino Bruni praised Modernism in these terms:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>[\u2026] \u201ca process of necessary renewal for the Catholic Church of its time, which was still impervious to the critical studies on the Bible that had been established for many decades in the Protestant world. For Buonaiuti, accepting scientific and historical studies on the Bible was the main way for the Church\u2019s encounter with modernity. A meeting that did not take place, because the Catholic Church was still dominated by the theorems of neo-scholastic theology and blocked by the Counter-Reformation fear that the Protestant winds might finally invade the Catholic body<\/i>.<i>\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">These words would suffice to make us understand the abyss that separates the Catholic Church from the one that replaced Her, beginning with the Second Vatican Council, when the\u00a0<i>Protestant winds<\/i>\u00a0finally invaded the Catholic body. This very recent episode is only the latest in an endless series of small steps, of silent acquiescence, of complicit winks with which the very leaders of the conciliar hierarchy made possible the transition \u201c<i>from the theorems of neo-scholastic theology<\/i>\u201d \u2013 that is, from the clear and unequivocal formulation of Dogmas \u2013 to the present apostasy. We find ourselves in the surreal situation in which a Hierarchy calls itself Catholic and therefore demands obedience from the ecclesial body, while at the same time professing doctrines that before the Council the Church had condemned; and at the same time condemning doctrines as heretical that up until then had been taught by all the Popes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This happens when the absolute is removed from the Truth and relativized by adapting it to the spirit of the world. How would the Pontiffs of recent centuries have acted today? Would they judge me guilty of schism, or would they rather condemn the one who claims to be their Successor? Together with me, the modernist Sanhedrin judges and condemns all Catholic Popes, because the Faith that they defended is mine; and the errors that Bergoglio defends are those that they, without exception, condemned. The words of the Jesuit martyr Edmund Campion in response to the verdict finding him guilty of treason in 1581 apply to the present Vatican no less than they did then to the Defender of the Faith: \u201c<i>In condemning us, you condemn all your own ancestors<\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>HERMENEUTIC OF RUPTURE<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I ask myself, then: what continuity can be given between two realities that oppose and contradict each other? between Bergoglio\u2019s\u00a0<i>conciliar and synodal church<\/i>\u00a0and the one \u201cblocked by counter-reformation fear\u201d from which he ostentatiously distances himself? And from what \u201cchurch\u201d would I be in a state of schism, if the one that claims to be Catholic differs from the true Church precisely in its preaching of what She condemned and in its condemnation of what She preached?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The adepts of the \u201cconciliar church\u201d will reply that this is due to the evolution of the ecclesial body in a \u201cnecessary renewal;\u201d while the Catholic Magisterium teaches us that the Truth is immutable and that the doctrine of the evolution of dogmas is heretical. Two churches, certainly: each with its own doctrines and liturgies and saints; but whereas for the Catholic believer the Church is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic, for Bergoglio the Church is conciliar, ecumenical, synodal, inclusive, immigrationist, eco-sustainable, and gay-friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Self-Removal of the Conciliar Hierarchy<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Is it possible then that the Church has begun to teach error? Can we believe that the one Ark of salvation is at the same time also an instrument of perdition for souls? That the Mystical Body separates itself from its Divine Head, Jesus Christ, making the Savior\u2019s promise fail? This cannot, of course, be admissible, and those who support such an idea fall into heresy and schism. The Church cannot teach error, nor can her Head, the Roman Pontiff, be at the same time heretical and orthodox, Peter and Judas, in communion with all his predecessors and at the same time in schism with them. The only theologically possible answer is that the Conciliar Hierarchy, which proclaims itself Catholic but embraces a faith different from that constantly taught for two thousand years by the Catholic Church, belongs to another entity and therefore does not represent the true Church of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">To those who remind me that Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre never went so far as to question the legitimacy of the Roman Pontiff, while acknowledging the heresy and even the apostasy of the conciliar Popes \u2013 as when he exclaimed:\u00a0<i>\u201cRome has lost the Faith! Rome is in apostasy!\u201d\u00a0<\/i>\u2013 I remind them that in the last fifty years the situation has dramatically worsened and that in all probability this great Pastor today would act with equal firmness, publicly repeating what he said then only to his clerics:\u00a0<i>\u201cIn this pastoral council, the spirit of error and lies has been able to work at ease, planting time-bombs everywhere that will blow up institutions in due course\u201d\u00a0<\/i>(Principes et directives, 1977). And again:\u00a0<i>\u201cHe who is seated on the Throne of Peter participates in the worship of false gods. What conclusion should we draw, perhaps in a few months\u2019 time, in the face of these repeated acts of communication with false cults? I don\u2019t know. I wonder. But it is possible that we will find ourselves forced to believe that the Pope is not Pope. Because at first sight it seems to me \u2013 I do not yet want to say it in a solemn and public way \u2013 that it is impossible for someone who is a heretic to be publicly and formally Pope\u201d\u00a0<\/i>(March 30, 1986).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">What makes us understand that the \u201csynodal church\u201d and its head Bergoglio do not profess the Catholic Faith? It is the total and unconditional adherence of all its members to a multiplicity of errors and heresies already condemned by the infallible Magisterium of the Catholic Church and from the ostentatious rejection of any doctrine, moral precept, act of worship, and religious practice that is not sanctioned by \u201ctheir\u201d council. Neither of them can in conscience subscribe to the Tridentine Profession of Faith and the Anti-Modernist Oath, because what they both express is the exact opposite of what Vatican II and the so-called \u201cconciliar magisterium\u201d insinuate and teach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Since it is not theologically tenable that the Church and the Papacy are instruments of perdition rather than of salvation, we must necessarily conclude that the heterodox teachings conveyed by the so-called \u201cconciliar church\u201d and the \u201cpopes of the Council\u201d from Paul VI onwards constitute an anomaly that seriously calls into question the legitimacy of their magisterial and governing authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>THE SUBVERSIVE USE OF AUTHORITY<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">That is, we must understand that the subversive use of authority in the Church aimed at Her destruction (or at Her transformation into a church\u00a0<i>other<\/i>\u00a0than the one willed and founded by Christ) constitutes in itself a sufficient element to render\u00a0<i>null and<\/i>\u00a0<i>void<\/i>\u00a0the authority of this new subject which has maliciously superimposed itself onto the Church of Christ, usurping power. That is why I do not recognize the legitimacy of the Dicastery that is putting me on trial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The manner in which the hostile action against the Catholic Church was carried out confirms that it was planned and intended, because otherwise those who denounced it would have been listened to and those who cooperated in it would have immediately stopped. Certainly, with the eyes of that time and the traditional formation of most of the Cardinals, Bishops, and Clergy, the \u201cscandal\u201d of a Hierarchy that contradicted itself appeared as such an enormity as to induce many prelates and clerics not to believe that it was possible that revolutionary and Masonic principles could find acceptance and promotion in the Church. But this was precisely the\u00a0<i>masterstroke of Satan\u00a0<\/i>\u2013 as Archbishop Lefebvre called it \u2013 who knew how to make use of the natural respect and filial love of Catholics for the sacred authority of the Pastors to induce them to put obedience before the Truth, perhaps hoping that a future Pope could in some way heal the disaster that had been accomplished and whose explosive results could already be guessed. This did not happen, despite the fact that some had courageously sounded the alarm. And I also count myself among those who, in that troubled phase, did not dare to oppose errors and deviations that had not yet fully shown themselves in their destructive value. I do not mean to say that I did not have an inkling of what was happening, but that I did not find \u2013 because of the intense work and the all-encompassing tasks of a bureaucratic and administrative nature at the service of the Holy See \u2013 the right conditions that would have allowed me to grasp the unprecedented gravity of what was taking place before our eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>THE CLASH<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The occasion that led me to clash with my ecclesiastical superiors began when I was Delegate for the Pontifical Representations, then as Secretary General of the Governorate, and finally as Apostolic Nuncio to the United States. My war against moral and financial corruption unleashed the fury of the then Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, when \u2013 in accordance with my responsibilities as Delegate for the Papal Representations \u2013 I denounced the corruption of Cardinal McCarrick and opposed his promoting corrupt and unworthy candidates for the Episcopate presented by the Secretary of State, who had me transferred to the Governorate because \u201cI prevented him from making the bishops he wanted.\u201d It was always Bertone, with the complicity of Cardinal Giovanni Lajolo, who hindered my work aimed at combating widespread corruption in the Governorate, where I had already obtained<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>important results beyond all expectations. It was also Bertone and Lajolo who convinced Pope Benedict to expel me from the Vatican and send me to the United States. There I found myself having to confront the vile events of Cardinal McCarrick, including his dangerous relationships with political representatives of the Obama-Biden Administration and also on an international level, which I did not hesitate to report to Secretary of State Parolin, who took no account of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This led me to consider many events I had witnessed during my diplomatic and pastoral career in a different light, and to grasp their coherence with a single project that by its nature could be neither exclusively political nor exclusively religious, since it included a global attack on traditional society based on the doctrinal, moral, and liturgical teaching aspects of the Church.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>CORRUPTION AS AN INSTRUMENT OF BLACKMAIL<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This is why from once having been an esteemed Apostolic Nuncio \u2013 for which few days ago Cardinal Parolin himself recognized me for my exemplary loyalty, honesty, correctness, and efficiency \u2013 I have now become an inconvenient Archbishop, not only because I have asked for justice in the canonical processes undertaken against corrupt prelates, but also and above all for having provided an interpretive key that shows how corruption within the Hierarchy was a necessary premise to control, manipulate, and coerce it with blackmail to act against God, against the Church, and against souls. And this\u00a0<i>modus operandi<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 which Freemasonry had described in detail before infiltrating the ecclesial body \u2013 mirrors that adopted in civil institutions, where the representatives of the people, especially at the highest levels, are largely blackmailable because they are corrupt and perverted. Their obedience to the delusions of the globalist elite leads peoples to ruin, destruction, disease, and death \u2013 death not only of the body, but also of the soul. Because the true project of the New World Order \u2013 to which Bergoglio is enslaved and from which he draws his own legitimacy from the powerful of the world \u2013 is an essentially Satanic project, in which the work of the Creation of the Father, the Redemption of the Son, and the Sanctification of the Holy Spirit is hated, erased, and counterfeited by the\u00a0<i>simia Dei\u00a0<\/i>and his servants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>IF YOU DO NOT SPEAK, THE VERY STONES WILL CRY OUT<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Witnessing the total subversion of the divine order and the propagation of infernal chaos with the zealous collaboration of the leaders of the Vatican and the Episcopate makes us understand how terrible are the words of the Virgin Mary at La Salette \u2013\u00a0<i>Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist\u00a0<\/i>\u2013 and what a hateful betrayal is constituted by the apostasy of the Pastors, and by the even more unheard-of betrayal of the one who sits on the Throne of the Most Blessed Peter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If I were to remain silent in the face of this betrayal \u2013 which is consummated with the fearful complicity of many, too many Prelates who are reluctant to recognize in the Second Vatican Council the principal cause of the present revolution and the adulteration of the Catholic Mass as the origin of the spiritual and moral dissolution of the faithful \u2013 I would break the oath taken on the day of my Ordination and renewed on the occasion of my episcopal Consecration. As the Successor of the Apostles, I cannot and will not accept to witness the systematic demolition of Holy Church and the damnation of so many souls without trying by every means to oppose all this. Nor can I consider a cowardly silence for the sake of a quiet life<i>\u00a0<\/i>preferable to giving witness to the Gospel and defending Catholic Truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">A schismatic sect accuses me of schism: this should be enough to demonstrate the subversion taking place. Imagine what impartiality of judgment a judge will be able to exercise when he depends on the one whom I accuse of being a usurper. But precisely because this event is emblematic, I want the faithful \u2013 who are not required to be familiar with the functioning of the ecclesiastical tribunals \u2013 to understand that the crime of schism is not committed when there are well-founded reasons to consider the election of the Pope dubious, due both to the\u00a0<i>vitium consensus\u00a0<\/i>as well as to the irregularities or violations of the norms which govern the conclave (cf. Wernz-Vidal,\u00a0<i>Ius Canonicum<\/i>, Rome, Pont. Univ. Greg., 1937, vol. VII, p. 439).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The Bull\u00a0<i>Cum ex apostolatus officio<\/i>\u00a0of Paul IV established in perpetuity the nullity of the nomination or election of any Prelate \u2013 including the Pope \u2013 who had fallen into heresy before his promotion to Cardinal or elevation to Roman Pontiff. It defines the promotion or elevation as\u00a0<i>nulla, irrita et inanis<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 void, invalid, and without any value \u2013 \u201c<i>even if it took place with the agreement and unanimous consent of all the Cardinals; nor can it be said that it is validated by the receipt of the office, consecration, or possession [\u2026], or by the putative enthronement [\u2026] of the Roman Pontiff himself or by the obedience given to him by all and by the course of any duration of time in the said exercise of his office.<\/i>\u201d Paul IV adds that all the acts performed by this person are to be considered equally null, and that his subjects, both clerics and lay people, are freed from obedience with regard to him, \u201c<i>without prejudice, however, on the part of these same subjected people, to the obligation of fidelity and obedience to be given to future Bishops, Archbishops, Patriarchs, Primates, Cardinals, and Roman Pontiffs who are canonically installed<\/i>.\u201d Paul IV concludes: \u201c<i>And to the greater confusion of those thus promoted and elevated, where they claim to continue their administration, it is permissible to request the help of the secular arm; nor for this reason are those who withdraw from loyalty and obedience towards those who have been promoted and elevated in the way already mentioned, to be subject to any of those censures and punishments imposed on those who would like to tear the tunic of the Lord.<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">For this reason, with serenity of conscience, I maintain that the errors and heresies to which Bergoglio adhered before, during, and after his election, along with the intention he held in his apparent acceptance of the Papacy, render his elevation to the throne null and void.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If all the acts of governance and teaching of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, in content and form, prove to be extraneous and even in conflict with what constitutes the action of any of the popes; if even a simple believers and non-Catholics understand the anomaly of the role that Bergoglio is playing in the globalist and anti-Christian project carried out by the\u00a0<i>World Economic Forum<\/i>, the UN Agencies, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the World Bank, and by all the other sprawling branches of the globalist elite, this does not demonstrate even slightly that I desire schism by highlighting and denouncing this anomaly. Yet I am attacked and prosecuted because there are those who delude themselves that by condemning and excommunicating me my denunciation of the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat will somehow lose its coherence and consistency. This attempt to silence everyone solves nothing; indeed it makes those who try to conceal or minimize the metastasis that is destroying the ecclesial body all the more culpable and complicit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>THE \u201cDEMINUTIO\u201d OF THE SYNODAL PAPACY<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">To all this we may add the Study Document\u00a0<i>The Bishop of Rome<\/i>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianunity.va\/content\/dam\/unitacristiani\/Collezione_Ut_unum_sint\/The_Bishop_of_Rome\/The%2520Bishop%2520of%2520Rome.pdf\"><span class=\"s3\">here<\/span><\/a>) which the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity recently published and the downgrading of the Papacy which is theorized in it, in application of John Paul II\u2019s Encyclical\u00a0<i>Ut Unum Sint<\/i>, which in turn refers to the Constitution\u00a0<i>Lumen Gentium<\/i>\u00a0of Vatican II. It appears entirely legitimate \u2013 and dutiful, in the name of the primacy of Catholic Truth sanctioned in the infallible documents of the Papal Magisterium \u2013 to ask whether Bergoglio\u2019s deliberate choice to abolish the apostolic title of Vicar of Christ and choose to define himself\u00a0<i>simpliciter<\/i>\u00a0as Bishop of Rome does not constitute in some way a\u00a0<i>deminutio<\/i>\u00a0of the Papacy itself, an attack against the divine constitution of the Church, and a betrayal of the\u00a0<i>Munus petrinum<\/i>. And upon closer inspection, the previous step was taken by Benedict XVI, who invented \u2013 along with the \u201chermeneutic\u201d of an impossible \u201ccontinuity\u201d between two totally foreign entities \u2013 the\u00a0<i>monstrum<\/i>\u00a0of a \u201ccollegial Papacy\u201d exercised by the Jesuit and the Emeritus simultaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">It is no coincidence that the Study Document cites a phrase from Paul VI: \u201c<i>The Pope [\u2026] is undoubtedly the most serious obstacle on the path of ecumenism<\/i>\u201d (Speech to the Secretary for the Promotion of Christian Unity, 28 April 1967). Montini had began to prepare the ground four years earlier when he dramatically laid aside the Tiara. If this is the premise of a text that is intended to serve to make the Roman Papacy \u201ccompatible\u201d with the denial of the Primacy of Peter that the heretics and schismatics reject; and if Bergoglio himself presents himself as merely\u00a0<i>primus inter pares<\/i>\u00a0amidst the assembly of Christian sects and denominations not in communion with the Apostolic See, failing to proclaim the Catholic doctrine on the Papacy defined solemnly and infallibly by the First Vatican Council, how can one fail to think that the exercise of the Papacy and indeed the very intention to accept it has been affected by a defect of consent\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/exsurgedomine.it\/230930-cic-eng\/\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/exsurgedomine.it\/231209-aspicite-eng\/\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, such as to render the legitimacy of \u201cPope Francis\u201d null or at least highly doubtful? Which \u201cchurch\u201d could I separate myself from, which \u201cpope\u201d would I refuse to recognize, if the former defines itself as the \u201cconciliar and synodal church\u201d in antithesis to the \u201cpre-conciliar church\u201d \u2013\u00a0<i>i.e.<\/i>\u00a0the Church of Christ \u2013 and the latter demonstrates that he considers the Papacy as his own personal prerogative to be disposed of by modifying and altering it at will, always in coherence with the doctrinal errors implied by Vatican II and the post-conciliar \u201cmagisterium\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If the Roman Papacy \u2013 the Papacy, to be clear, of Pius IX, Leo XIII, Pius X, Pius XI, Pius XII \u2013 is considered to be an obstacle to ecumenical dialogue, and ecumenical dialogue is pursued as the absolute priority of the \u201csynodal church,\u201d represented by Bergoglio, what better way could this dialogue be implemented than by removing those elements that make the Papacy incompatible with it, and therefore tampering with it in a completely illegitimate and invalid way?<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>THE CONFLICT OF SO MANY BROTHER BISHOPS AND FAITHFUL<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I am convinced that among the Bishops and priests there are many who have experienced and still experience today the excruciating internal conflict of finding themselves divided between what Christ the Pontiff asks of them \u2013 and they know it well \u2013 and what the one who presents himself as Bishop of Rome imposes with force, with blackmail, and with threats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Today it is more necessary than ever for us Pastors to wake up from our torpor:\u00a0<i>Hora est iam nos de somno surgere<\/i>\u00a0(Rom 13:11). Our responsibility before God, the Church, and souls requires us to unequivocally denounce all the errors and deviations that we have tolerated for too long, because we will not be judged either by Bergoglio or by the world, but by Our Lord Jesus Christ. We will give an account to Him of every soul lost through our negligence, of every sin committed by each soul because of us, of every scandal before which we have remained silent out of false prudence, through a desire for quiet living, through complicity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">On the day on which I was supposed to present myself to defend myself before the Dicastery for the Doctrine of Faith, I have decided to make public this declaration of mine, to which I add a denunciation of my accusers, their \u201ccouncil,\u201d and their \u201cpope.\u201d I ask the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, who consecrated the soil of the\u00a0<i>Alma Urbe<\/i>\u00a0with their own blood, to intercede before the throne of the Divine Majesty, so that they may obtain for the Holy Church that She may finally be freed from the siege that eclipses Her and from the usurpers who humiliate Her, making the\u00a0<i>Domina gentium<\/i>\u00a0the servant of the antichristic plan of the New World Order.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>IN DEFENSE OF THE CHURCH<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">My defense is therefore not a personal one, but rather a defense of the Holy Church of Christ, in which I have been constituted a Bishop and Successor of the Apostles, with the precise mandate of safeguarding the Deposit of Faith and preaching the Word, insisting\u00a0<i>opportune importune<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 in season and out of season \u2013 rebuking, reproving , exhorting with all patience and doctrine (2 Tim 4:2).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I strongly reject the accusation of having torn the seamless garment of the Savior and of having departed from being under the Supreme Authority of the Vicar of Christ: in order to separate myself from ecclesial communion with Jorge Mario Bergoglio, I would have to have first been in communion with him, which is not possible since Bergoglio himself cannot be considered a member of the Church, due to his multiple heresies and his manifest alienness and incompatibility with the role he invalidly and illicitly holds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>MY ACCUSATIONS AGAINST JORGE MARIO BERGOGLIO<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Before my Brothers in the Episcopate and the entire ecclesial body, I accuse Jorge Mario Bergoglio of heresy and schism, and I ask that he be judged as a heretic and schismatic and removed from the Throne which he has unworthily occupied for over eleven years. This in no way contradicts the adage\u00a0<i>Prima Sedes a nemine judicatur<\/i>, because it is evident that, since a heretic is unable to assume the Papacy, he is not above the Prelates who judge him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I also accuse Jorge Mario Bergoglio of having caused \u2013 due to the prestige and authority of the Apostolic See which he usurps \u2013 serious adverse effects, sterility, and death in the millions of faithful who followed his insistent invitation to undergo the inoculation of an experimental gene serum produced with aborted fetuses, even to the point of issuing a formal \u201cNote\u201d declaring that using the vaccine is morally permissible\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/exsurgedomine.it\/211023-letter-covid-19\/\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/exsurgedomine.it\/221018-letter-covid-19\/\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. He will have to answer before the Tribunal of God for this crime against humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Finally, I denounce the secret agreement between the Holy See and the Chinese communist dictatorship, by which the Church has been humiliated and forced to accept the government appointment of Bishops, the control of liturgical celebrations, and limitations on its freedom of preaching, while Catholics loyal to the Apostolic See are persecuted with impunity by the Beijing government with the complicit silence of the Roman Sanhedrin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>THE REJECTION OF THE ERRORS OF VATICAN II<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I consider it an honor to be \u201caccused\u201d of rejecting the errors and deviations implied by the so-called Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, which I consider to be completely devoid of magisterial authority due to its heterogeneity compared to all the true Councils of the Church, which I fully recognize and accept, just as I fully recognize and accept all the magisterial acts of the Roman Pontiffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I convictedly reject the heterodox doctrines contained in the documents of Vatican II and which have been condemned by the Popes up to Pius XII, or which contradict the Catholic Magisterium in any way. I find it disconcerting to say the least that those who are trying me for schism are those who embrace the heterodox doctrine according to which there exists a bond of union \u201c<i>with those who, being baptized, are honored with the name of Christian, though they do not profess the faith in its entirety or do not preserve unity of communion with the successor of Peter<\/i>\u201d (LG 15). I wonder how readily one can challenge a Bishop for the lack of communion which is also claimed to exist with heretics and schismatics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I equally condemn, reject, and refuse the heterodox doctrines expressed in the so-called \u201cpost-conciliar magisterium\u201d that originated with Vatican II, as well as the recent heresies relating to the \u201csynodal church,\u201d the reformulation of the Papacy in an ecumenical key, the admission of concubinaries to the Sacraments, and the promotion of sodomy and \u201cgender\u201d ideology. I also condemn Bergoglio\u2019s adherence to climate fraud, a mad neo-Malthusian superstition engendered by those who, hating the Creator, cannot help but also detest Creation, and man along with it, who is made in the image and likeness of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>CONCLUSION<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">To the Catholic faithful, who today are scandalized and disoriented by the winds of novelty and the false doctrines that are promoted and imposed by a Hierarchy rebellious against the Divine Master, I ask you to pray and offer your sacrifices and fasts\u00a0<i>pro libertate et exaltatione Sanct\u00e6 Matris Ecclesi\u00e6<\/i>, so that Holy Mother Church may find Her freedom and triumph with Christ, after this time of passion.
