Mark Docherty forgets his principles, says Conclave will be valid

5 Comments

History and Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

It has been two years and nearly 5 months since the death of Pope Benedict XVI.

Back then, those who claimed he was the valid pope had to confront the reality that the See was vacant and there had to be a new election. Cardinal Re was duly informed by letter in the Vatican Post, and by two channels in Italy, one on YouTube and another a TV station at Rome. The latter aired 4 programs: one interviewing me on the problems in the renunciation, one interviewing me warning the Cardinals from the steps of the Basilica of Saint Peter’s in Chains, one listening to the press release issued on behalf of the Catholics calling for an election by Apostolic Right, and another which was an infomercial aired for nearly an entire week, to everyone in Lazio, announcing the time and place of the Election. All paid for by the readers of FromRome.info and perhaps a half-dozen of my Italian supporters.

Back then Mark Docherty and Ann Barnhardt would have none of it. And when the election results were in, they joined in a vicious bout of ridicule of those who attended. For Ann, I was the green frog like Friar who should have croaked, rather than participated in the Assembly.

But now Mark forgets his principles, and says the next Conclave will be valid

How did that happen, Mark? Seeing that some 80% of the cardinal electors were nominated by Pope Francis, and perhaps 60% of them while Pope Benedict XVI was the pope.

Two years ago, did you not sustain that a Conclave with fake Cardinals could not validly elect the pope?

Or do you now see that you and Ann were wrong to oppose those Catholics (readers of FromRome.Info) who actually worked to restore the juridical order in the Church by organizing and supporting the Catholics at Rome to elect their own Pope, a right they have from the Apostle, and a right they still enjoy when the entire College of Cardinals refuses to act?

How soon you have forgotten. But at FromRome.Info we document everything and have long memories.

On January 18, 2023: “An Antipope has no jurisdiction”, you said, Therefore, he could not appoint valid Cardinals to have a valid Conclave to elect his successor. Remember that?

Then on January 28, 2023: “Br. Bugnolo now threatening Eternal Helfire on anyone not supporting his Monday Marriot faux Conclave”, you said, Remember that? You said that faithful Catholics who held that Pope Benedict XVI never validly abdicated would hold a “faux Conclave”? Where did you get the “Conclave” accusation from, remember? Yes, it was Steve O’Reilley, the ex-CIA agent who dished up that slur, to prevent the public, psychologically, from even looking into the facts. In that article, you said, “As an act of fraternal charity, I want to alert the readership that this is hogwash.” — A very strange notion of “fraternal charity”, if I must say so.

How is it you disagreed with Stevie for 7 years, since he insisted the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI was valid, but now you agree to use his slur of a “Conclave”, knowing well what a Conclave is and is not, and knowing well that I never used that term in reference to the Assembly on January 30th?

Well then, how is the Conclave of 2025 not a “faux Conclave” according to what you have said in the past?

It is not a faux conclave? because all the Cardinal electors are valid cardinal electors precisely because Pope Francis was elected in a juridically valid manner on January 30, 2023? As Br. Hogwash said?

Or have you invented a new presto-magico juridical clause? where a Conclave is valid when Mark says it is, and not valid when Mark says it is not. And Mark can even say that a Conclave of faux Cardinals can be valid? And that an Assembly of the Faithful is a “Conclave”, when it is not; and that all popes in history were elected in Conclaves, which is actually false?

And as for your assertion that the election of Pope Martin V, at the end of the Great Western Schism (September 20, 1378 to November 11, 1417 A. D.), took place with valid and invalid cardinals, that is totally false: because, before the death of the true Pope, the Roman claimant, he came to an agreement with the other popes to accept their cardinals, while they agreed to elect no one else as pope until after his death. So all the Cardinals were valid electors.

Thus, this your recent post, this year, proves that one of us a blatant calumniator and libeler, and the other is at least consistent in what he claims, whether you like it or not.

So read that scripture again, about “Desire the rational milk”, because your position is totally irrational, and the rational milk you rejected 2 years and 2 months ago.

I have published this critique, because as I said two years ago: those who held that Pope Benedict XVI was pope until his death, will either have to become sedevacantists or accept that the election on January 30, 2023 was juridically valid, unless of course they dump their principles and pretend that invalid Cardinals can validly attend a Conclave, which is absurd. So either they have to lose their souls as sedevacantists, or lose their souls for dishonesty, or they can accept that election on January 30th.

And those are the facts, not a threat or even idle threat from anyone on earth.

All the Catholics who attended or supported that election did this for the love of all the Faithful, since without being communion with a valid successor of Saint Peter, we would all wander away from the saving truth of the Gospel. Pope Francis being validly and juridically elected thus, at least all the Faithful returned to communion with a validly elected Successor of Saint Peter, and all the Cardinals of whom were by that election, convalidated, as I explained on February 1, 2023 A. D. in my article: Canonical questions regarding the election of an antipope to the Papacy.

For more information see, “The Triumph of the Lamb of God“, which recounts the entire history regarding the election of Pope Benedict XVI’s successor, and which was published on Feb. 5, 2023 A. D..

They are going to burn it all right to the ground. It’s a feature, not a bug.

People keep comparing this to 9/11. Folks, this is many orders of magnitude worse. Not even close. It is completely unprecedented in all of human history. Economic terrorism and nation annihilation via propagandized suicide.

I say again, unless there is a HUGE lethality factor that has been kept secret, sum ting wong. All the statistics show 97.5% of cases are mild – no hospitalization. Almost all deaths are people with pre-existing illnesses or among vulnerable groups (i.e. elderly, immune-compromised).

The country is over. It’s not like flipping a light switch. We’re closed.

“The torrent of Americans filing for unemployment insurance skyrocketed last week as more than 6.6 million new claims were filed, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That brings to 10 million the total Americans who filed over the past two weeks. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected 3.1 million for last week, one week after 3.3 million filings in the first wave of what has been a record-shattering swelling of the jobless ranks.“

Dr. Fauci is terribly sorry if anyone has been “inconvenienced” by all this.

Dr. Fauci: (26:37)

“…The reason why we feel so strongly about the necessity of the additional 30 days is that now is the time whenever you’re having an effect, not to take your foot off the accelerator and on the brake, but to just press it down on the accelerator. And that’s what I hope and I know that we can do over the next 30 days. And as I said the other day on one of the interviews, we are a very strong and resilient nation. If you look at our history, we’ve been through some terrible ordeals. This is tough. People are suffering, people are dying. It’s inconvenient from a societal standpoint, from an economic standpoint to go through this. But this is going to be the answer to our problems. So let’s all pull together and make sure as we look forward to the next 30 days, we do it with all the intensity and force that we can.“

Think this ends April 30th? The comments above were made on Tuesday. Yesterday, Dr. Fauci provided an update on when he’s going to let you back on your lawn:

Reporter 5: (01:03:16)

“Question for Dr. Fauci. Looking beyond when we’re on the other side of this curve, are we looking at living with some sort of social distancing guidelines essentially until there’s treatment or a vaccine. For example, people looking forward to the summer talk about going to baseball games, going to concerts. We have political conventions over the summer. Are things like that possible or safe without a vaccine or a treatment in place?“

Dr. Fauci: (01:03:44)

“Yeah, I think if we get to the part of the curve that Dr. Birx showed yesterday, when it goes down to essentially no new cases, no deaths at a period of time, I think it makes sense that you’re going to have to relax social distancing.”

You will be allowed to resume your shattered life when there are zero new cases and zero deaths. Except, that will be NEVER, because mutations mean that this thing never goes away. There will always be some new strain coming around… just like the common cold.

Dr. Fauci: (01:03:44)

“The one thing we hopefully would have in place, and I believe we will have in place, is a much more robust system to be able to identify someone who’s infected, isolate them, and then do contact tracing.”

I mean, there is no way that kind of power could be abused, right? A robust system to identify and isolate? But wait, there’s more.

Dr. Fauci: (01:04:14)

“Because if you have a really good program of containment that prevents you from ever having to get into mitigation… We’re in mitigation right now. That’s what the social and physical distancing is. The ultimate solution to a virus that might keep coming back would be a vaccine. In fact, I was on the weekly conference call with the WHO sponsored group of all the health leaders in the world who are dealing with this, and we all came to the agreement that we may have cycling with another season. We’ll be much better prepared. We likely will have interventions, but the ultimate game changer in this will be a vaccine, the same way a vaccine for other diseases, that were scourges in the past, that now we don’t even worry about.“

The WHO sponsored group of all the health leaders in the world, you say? You mean the abortionist murdering sterilizing euthanizers? Was Bill Gates on the call? What is it about this virus that has you comparing it to “Scourges in the past” for which a vaccine is the only answer?”

You do realize that you will not be permitted to re-engage in society without receiving this vaccine, right?

Dr. Fauci: (01:05:07)

“The vaccine is, as I said, it’s on target. We’re still in Phase 1. There were three doses that we had to test. We’d been through the first two doses. We’re on the highest dose now. When we get that data, it’ll take a few months to get the data to feel confident to go to the Phase 2, and then a few months from now we’ll be in Phase 2. And I think we’re right on target for the year to a year and a half…”

A year to a year and a half. That is how long a vaccine takes. I’m sure your job will be waiting for you.

A Host of Canons declares the Renunciation invalid

1 Comment

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, therefore, is not a gnostic art for the elite few initiates.

Over at Catholic Monitor, Fred Martinez calls me a Canon law expert. I do not hold a degree in Canon Law, so I dispute the attribution. But he does this, because I simply read the law and say what it says, how it says it. I do not have any vested interest in saying it means something else, because I am not a priest and I am not the member of a religious order in communion with Bergoglio. I am a hermit, and that means I have no superior but my Bishop, who is Pope Benedict XVI. I also did not sell my soul for $1,000,000 to stab anyone’s memory in the back who held that Pope Benedict XVI is the pope.

This is why in this controversy, it is those who have no vested interest who are the truth tellers. Mark Docherty is one of them. I have never met him personally, but I know he is a truth teller because he simple lays out exactly what the Code of Canon Law says.

He blogs at Non Veni Pacem.

In his latest post,  The Retention of Office even when all powers have been delegated, according to Canon 131.1, he shows that there are a number of Canons which all concur that the Renunciation is invalid. You often hear Ann Barnhardt talk about canon 188. She breached the defenses of the Big Lie about the Renunciation using that Canon (no pun intended, but it is a nice pun!).* And you will often hear me talk about canon 17. Canon 332 §2 is the key canon, of course.

But Mark Docherty shows how canons 36 §1, 38, and 131 §1 also come into play.

I highly recommend reading Marks post. As one who has actually studied Canon Law at at a Pontifical University here at Rome, I can say that it merits a 10 out of 10, and you would not find its like in any Doctoral Thesis in the entire Eternal City, after Feb. 11, 2013, because they would boot you out of the program — because IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.

POSTSCRIPT: I hope all my readers get on board with the February 28, 2020 Initiative. It’s not about me, its about saving the Church. I do not propose it so as to go forward. I see it as a way of handing the baton on to my betters, so that they do their part. So please try to get everyone to join in the effort.

FOOTNOTE:  If anyone of my readers is a talented graphic artist, I would suggest you do a graphic showing a walled city with Bergoglio on top, Benedict imprisoned, and Ann outside with a Big Canon, labeled 188, the wall of the city named the Big Lie: a Valid Renunciation. And defenders of the Big Lie, on the top of the wall with Bergoglio on his left and right, some with money bags in their hands. It would immortalize the current crisis for posterity, and be remembered until the end of time.
