Editor’s Note: It was catastrophic that the Cardinals and Bishops allowed a heretic remain in his claim to be the Pope. But, it’s always better late than never, that a Cardinal speak more plainly. Only that, here, he is going to cause a lot of confusion: because a formally condemned heretic cannot be elected, and a man who has not formally been condemned, can be rebuked and give up his heresy. So the Cardinal is talking about individuals who are manifest and formal heretics, but not yet public or pertinacious, in a canonical sense.
And yes it would be a catastrophe, a continuing catastrophe. But if the Cardinals do something more than talk about such problems, every such catastrophe in the Church can be repaired, if a Provincial Synod in the Roman Province be called and the errant pope be remonstrated with to give up such errors.
However, if the election be valid juridically, Christ’s prayer will intervene and prevent the worst from happening, as we have seen in the last 2 years in the case of Pope Francis, who stepped back and withdrew all requirements that ‘Fiducia supplicans’ be implemented. The backlash he received from Bishops opposing him on that document’s heretical teaching, was a sure sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit working among the Bishops, which is the result of Christ’s High Priestly prayer.

In my view, a complete reversal of Vatican II is what we ought to focus on, yes? What candidate/pope will put that in the top of his list? None of the candidates whatsoever. Do you hear any rumblings in that direction? No, of course not! So, hoping for this or that candidate is a waste of time. Jettison the stench of modernism in the future? Nope. Not even Bishop Williamson survived inside the hopeful SSPX, whom I lost hope in. He fearlessly pointed out the treachery… “There is not one Catholic left in the Vatican.” I wonder. Quoted from Novus Ordo Watch.
Curious, I think you will end up being surprised, because renewal in the Catholic Church does not come from men, it comes from the Holy Spirit, Who dwells in secret in the hearts of the Faithful and is capable of extraordinary changes in short intervals, just as He created life from nothing in a twinkling of an eye.
It seems obvious to me that the men that took the torch of the II Vatican Council are dying one after the other. Martini, Danneels, McCarrick are some of a long list of culprits, a list that now includes Bergoglio.
God does not die, nor He is asleep. The era of apostasy is waning and we know what comes after that age.
“Let no one deceive you in any way. For this cannot be, unless the apostasy will have arrived first, and the man of sin will have been revealed, the son of perdition.” — 2 Thessalonians 2:3
