by Br. Alexis Bugnolo The amount of non-intellectual work being done by those who insist Bergoglio is the pope no matter what, even if that be the only dogma left in the Catholic Church, has arrived at it most silly and absurd assertion. I call it the “Liturgical Theory”. According to this theory, a man … Continue reading The Latest Work around for Canon 332 §2 — The Liturgical Theory→
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo Denial in times of shock is a human experience and a frequent response, though not virtuous, when the truth of the pain, suffering or threat is so great it cannot be admitted to exist even in the mind. The denial is the escape. But denial of the truth of reality and … Continue reading Msgr. Nicola Bux rewrites Canon 332 §2→
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo I find it very useful in arguments over legal interpretations, to restate the law verbatim and then state the law as each side wants it to read. So let’s do that with Canon 332 §2, the canon from the Code of Canon Law promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1983: … Continue reading How Bergoglians want Canon 332 §2 to read→
By Br. Alexis Bugnolo As Saint Thomas Aquinas says, when the errors of our prelates are public and grave and constitute an imminent danger to the Church, we are obliged to break deferential silence and publicly correct them. For that reason, I will take this occasion to publicly call upon fellow Catholics to ask Cardinal … Continue reading Has Cardinal Brandmüller ever read Canon 332 §2?→
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo FRANÇOIS For more than 10 years we have been fed with an alternate reality from a group of Catholics who want an alternate Church. And it has been very difficulty for many Catholics, who discern truth, not on the basis of objective criteria, but on the basis of the majority of … Continue reading The anti-Church is an alternate Church with an alternate canonical reality→
An Open Letter to the College of Cardinals REPRINTED FROM DEC. 11, 2019 A. D. by Br. Alexis Bugnolo In the conclave of 2243, the Cardinals of the Roman Church, in their final votation, elected a Spaniard. So, according to the rules established by Pope John Paul II, on February 22, 1996, in the document … Continue reading ¡Viva Guadalajara! & Why one should never presume in matters canonical→
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo Recently, I had the opportunity to have as a guest a fellow Franciscan hermit. And in the course of our discussions, we came to the topic of who is the Pope. He gave me his reasons, mostly drawn from a canonist whom he respects. Since our discussion would be helpful if … Continue reading Which is the true Pope? — The Canonical Question which cannot be ignored→
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo It has been reported that Cardinal Burke has recently remarked that canonists, seeking a solution to the current problem of a patently heretical pope or a dubious papal resignation, have found no canonical way forward in the present juridical system of the Church. To this alleged assertion, I intend to response … Continue reading A Canonical Justification for the Second Synod of Sutri→
REPRINT FROM FEB. 2020 By Br. Alexis Bugnolo Just as every criminal, for the sake of public safety, should receive a response from the police, so every error merits a refutation by those who love the truth. This is even more true in proportion to the danger posed by the criminal, or by the error. … Continue reading The Canon 15 §2 Strawman trotted out by LifeSite’s anonymous Canon Lawyer→
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo As Catholics begin the effort to make known to the clergy that they were defrauded of their loyalty to Christ’s Vicar on Feb. 28, 2013, it is important to have at hand a short summary of the canonical problems in Pope Benedict XVI’s declaration of Feb. 11, 2013, Non solum propter. … Continue reading Pope Benedict’s Renunciation is invalid for 6 Canonical Reasons→
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo Today, Marcy, 13, 2020, is the 7th anniversary of the usurpation of the Papacy by Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the anti-pope. And every Catholic has the right to say, what I just said. He also has the duty. But first, let me discuss the right. Don’t fall for the lie pandered … Continue reading Canon 41 gives every Catholic the right to declare Bergoglio an Anti-pope→
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo I do not know whether I should laugh or cry at this tweet by Canon Peters. But I will say something that may be surprising: Steve Skojec did the right thing by asking a canon lawyer to give his opinion. I praise Steve for that, as it is a lot better … Continue reading Canon Peters shows he does not know basic principles of Canon Law→
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo Ann Barnhardt is right when she says you do not need to be a canon law expert to read the Code of Canon Law: the very nature of what a Code of Law is intended to be, is to be a public instrument which all can access and understand. Understanding it, … Continue reading A Host of Canons declares the Renunciation invalid→
By Br. Alexis Bugnolo One day, while I lingered at the Convent of Saint Francis of Assisi, at Bagnoregio, in the spring of 2016, one of the Franciscan Fathers invited me to come with him to a Cherry orchard owned by a benefactor of the Convent. The owner said we could pick all the cherries … Continue reading Cherry-Picking Canon Law is a mortal sin→
By Br. Alexis Bugnolo Just as every criminal, for the sake of public safety, should receive a response from the police, so every error merits a refutation by those who love the truth. This is even more true in proportion to the danger posed by the criminal, or by the error. Backstory Nearly a year … Continue reading The Canon 15 §2 Strawman trotted out by LifeSite’s anonymous Canon Lawyer→
By Br. Alexis Bugnolo I am impressed with the growing number of canonists who off the record are admitting that they recognize that Pope Benedict is still the true pope, because his renunciation was doubtful. While the fact that nearly all of them work for the Church, prevents the ones I have spoken with from … Continue reading Canonist declares substantial error can invalidate a Papal resignation→
