The juridically valid election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, to be Roman Pontiff, was held on Monday, January 30, 2023, at about 12:30 PM, 4 weeks ago.

The proof of its validity in the sight of God is that the one elected is now the beneficial receiver of Christ’s High Priestly Prayer for Peter: “I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail”, as evidenced by the PUBLIC FACT that Pope Francis has not uttered 1 blasphemy or heresy in the last 4 weeks.

This week, I want to comment on the mass delirium into which the leaders of the traditionalist movement world wide have thrown themselves, willing as they obviously do, to live in the false narrative that will lead astray all those who heed them into schism from the Apostolic See and eternal perdition.

THEIRS IS A LOUD but false TESTIMONY FOR ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR.

Our Lord said, if you have faith, you will be able to say to the mountain, move, and it will be moved. The Mountain is now in motion and those who want to see, can see it.

But these say, “If you blindly trust in me, I will lead you into the depth of Hell and you will praise me as your savior. However, you must listen to me and ignore all right reason, common sense, and documentary facts, not to mention all Canon Law. Yes, I was wrong for 10 years about who is the pope. Yes, I did not even want a valid pope after the death of Pope Benedict XVI. But no, I am totally competent and trustworthy to give you advice about everything from rubrics on the Latin Mass, to documents from the Vatican, as well as your eternal salvation.”

Would that Catholics have more trust in Jesus Christ. Perhaps many think He is a myth and that the claims of His power are just that, old superstitions. But He is the One Who has the words of eternal life. And when we risk ourselves in believing in His Words, only then do we hook our wagon to the train which is headed to Heaven.

Contrariwise, if we are willing to risk our eternal salvation, mental sanity, and perception of reality on the mere word of those who have been proven to be totally incompetent commentators on the biggest issues in the Church for 10 years, what else do we merit by the damnation that we so glibly risk to embrace?

While I have in many emails cited canons 59 ff. to these careless fools, they still persist in judging the truth of the matter on the basis of these blind and godless social media influencers. NONE OF THEM HAS EVEN DARED OPEN THE CODE OF CANON LAW. So I will share that canon with all here:

Can. 59 §1. A rescript is an administrative act issued in writing by competent executive authority; of its very nature, a rescript grants a privilege, dispensation, or other favor at someone’s request.

§2. The prescripts established for rescripts are valid also for the oral granting of a permission or favors unless it is otherwise evident.

Can. 60 Any rescript can be requested by all those who are not expressly prohibited from doing so.

Can. 61 Unless it is otherwise evident, a rescript can be requested for another even without the person’s assent and has force before the person’s acceptance, without prejudice to contrary clauses.

Can. 62 A rescript in which no executor is given has effect at the moment the letter is given; other rescripts, at the moment of execution.

Can. 63 §1. Subreption, or concealment of the truth, prevents the validity of a rescript if in the request those things were not expressed which according to law, style, and canonical practice must be expressed for validity, unless it is a rescript of favor which is given motu proprio.

§2. Obreption, or a statement of falsehood, also prevents the validity of a rescript if not even one proposed motivating reason is true.

§3. The motivating reason in rescripts for which there is no executor must be true at the time when the rescript is given; in others, at the time of execution.

I assume all can read, so there is no need for me to say, that a rescript by its its very nature is granted by a superior, to someone asking for a favor. Thus, there is NO SUCH THING as a rescript published by a Cardinal who goes to the pope seeking the punishment of others. It violates both the nature of what a rescript is and the order of authority in the Church.

Yet no social media influence speaking on this topic has dared confront Canon Law. They all keep telling Catholics that Pope Francis has turned against the TLM once again. It is a complete lie. By not issuing a rescript, Pope Francis is indicating that as Pope, he does NOT approve of this attempt by Cardinal Roche to squash the Old Rites.

But what we can see, is that, now that Pope Francis is validly elected, the Roman Curia is treating him as they treated Pope Benedict XVI. These clerics are the true enemies of Christ.

I will report on this on a weekly basis, to glorify the Lord Jesus and His wondrous care for His Flock through the grace of the petrine munus, so that those who see and believe might praise God, and those who disbelieve and say that they see, might be confounded in eternity.

For us, let us not fail TO GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD JESUS AND SAINT PETER, FOR HAVING ESTABLISHED SUCH A SIMPLE WAY TO SOLVE THE GREATEST PROBLEM IN THE CHURCH THAT EVER COULD BE!
