On the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, the Corredemptrix to whom Pope Hildebrand has dedicated his pontificate, Andrea Cionci, a Cavaliere of the Italian Republic and renowned polemicist on the topic of Pope Benedict XVI’s intention to NOT renounce the papacy, responded to the request made by the Secretary of State to make known the juridical consequences of the news Aldo Maria Valli had reported on his blog days before: namely, that Prevost does NOT claim the titles of the Papacy.

Cionci talks about there being antipopes in the Church today. He mentions the Palmarian in Spain and Don Minutella (the Lion of Mary). But the former has no juridical claim on top of the fact that he is a schismatic and heretic. And the latter has never claimed the papacy; he only claims to be the grand prelate. Cionci has so far never mentioned the bull of Pope Nicholas II, signed by 77 Bishops, 4 Canonized Saints, 2 Blesseds of the Church, and 3 men who would be pope after Nicholas II. His refusal to take into account that Bull is his only reason for calling Hildebrand an antipope.
All of this shows where the truth lies, if you seek the truth.

By means of it he wants to ridicule the fact that Hildebrand has not disclosed his civil name. This fact irks social media influencers, because they cannot gossip about nor attack a man, whose civil name they do not know. But by mocking Hildebrand for acting in this way before his episcopal consecration, they reveal themselves as men who are neither serious nor gentlemen, in addition to being persons who cannot see that their manner of reacting is precisely why such a personal security measure was such a brilliant 4 D chess move by the Holy Father.
What a completely honest commentator should do, when not knowing the identity of a man, is to read his writings and stated public intentions, all of which are available at the Holy Father’s website, SedesApostolica.Info, where there are as of now numerous documents published under his authority, including several written and signed by himself. But someone whose only intent is to harm the reputation of another or remain silent because he wants in no way to promote another opinion but that of himself, cannot do that in the case of Hildebrand, since his website clearly shows he is the Pope God sent to restore His Church and that he intends to begin a general restoration of the Catholic Faith and discipline in the Church throughout the world. — Who can hate a man for that reason, is obvious to anyone who thinks about it.
But with Andrea Cionci, it is difficult to understand his position. Since for the rising political figure, General Venacci, in Italy, founder of the Futuro Nationale party, Cionci wants, the exact opposite be done, namely, that the Italian electorate to vote for him, regardless of all his personal opinions and past resume, because Cionci holds that the General’s participation in the political life of the country will make people start to think about what Italy needs in order to be restored as a sovereign nation. — With Hildebrand, however, Cionci does not want even to hear what he has to say nor that anyone consider him in any other manner than with pure derision, simply because Cionci will not admit that there once was a Pope who taught infallibly that the Catholics of Rome can validly elect a pope, when all the Cardinals are complicit in an illegal election. — In this, Cionci with all his eloquence and personal talents has nevertheless decided to set himself against the Rock of Peter, upon which Christ founded His Church.
UPDATE: It appears that Andrea Cionci’s YouTube Channel, which has less followers than viewers of the above video, has only about 170 who actually comment on his videos, all of which nearly are Freemasons, atheists, Satanists, heretics, and gnostics, since they have nothing but contempt for the papacy and the Catholic Church. But that they are bots and not humans appears from the fact that perhaps no more than 3 of them actually read the articles cited in the video by Cionci. In Italy, public defamation is a serious crime which can result in serious financial penalties. Cionci threatened Br. Bugnolo with a lawsuit for merely saying in one video that Cionci is about 4 feet 10 in height and is a married man, when in truth he is an unmarried man, but mislead Br. Bugnolo by repeatedly constantly saying to him, “I have to return home to care for my family”. But Cionci must have a great legal team or a lot of influence in Italian courts, since he has no such fear. His followers don’t fear it either. All of this is very strange behavior from a Cavaliere of the Italian Republic, who first of all should be a man of moral integrity, since defamation, contumely, ridicule of honest men, is a mortal sin, but far more diabolical when you intentionally incite others to join in such a depravity.

The Book on the Trinity, every faithful Catholic priest would love as his next present
This is Br. Bugnolo's English Translation, of Saint Bonaventure's encylopedic book of theology on the Trinity: With this book, your priest will always have something intelligent and awesomely inspiring to preach to you about
God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit!

Cionci thinks the indefectibility of the Church means the entire membership of the College of Cardinals have some special grace that protects each and every one of them from ever falling into schism or heresy. Admittedly it’s deeply disturbing to think they, along with everyone who follows them, could, and have, but one can recover from any disturbance, even that one. It’s not as if Our Lord, and biblical and Catholic prophecy haven’t already warned us more than once.
