Returning to our Predictions 2018 thread and our analysis of the Francis bishopric of Rome, a very significant post appeared on the Non Veni Pacem blog. (MUST READ HERE) The post is titled: Pope Benedict adds more evidence that he doesn’t consider himself retired, nor does he think it possible.
In the opinion of this humble blogger, it is this blog that is presently doing the most important critical analysis of the period in Catholic history leading up to, encompassing and post the “abdication” of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.
To be more precise, what the Non Veni Pacem blog is trying to establish is nothing short of the OBJECTIVE REALITY of the current situation in which there are two individuals, dressed in white, both residing behind the Sacred Vatican Walls. Objectively speaking, we know that this situation is not real in that there cannot be “two popes”. As even the neo-con George Weigel observes (OBJECTIVELY TRUE STATEMENT), there is no such thing as an EMERITUS POPE. (see here) So by simply making an assumption such as: Pope Benedict knows what George Weigel knows, one is required to obtain a thorough understanding and explanation of the “mindset” of Pope Benedict XVI, for the period leading up, encompassing and post his “abdication”. Bah, it becomes of the utmost importance.
The importance of these events are not limited to the Catholic Church either. There are reports of “perplexed secularists” appearing of late. (see here) The reason behind the significance of this information relates directly to the “deconstruction” of Western Civilization by the post-Modernists. It goes without saying that these “perplexed secularists” see the Catholic Church as the foundational element of Western Civilization and of Her demise as nothing short of a “return to barbarism”. (see here)
In the ECCLESIASTICAL sub-set of the Visibilium Omnium, one reason illuminating the importance of Non Veni Pace’s work, i.e. pinning down our understanding of what can be called Catholic Objective Reality (COR), can be seen in the following post titled: Canon212 Update: Happy New Year From Five Bishops to Francis! In Canon212 Update, Frank Walker informs his viewers that 5 bishops have already contradicted the FrancisDoc “Joy of Sex”, i.e. corrected Francis this year. In the Letter from the Kazakhstani Bishops, we can read that the FrancisDoc is ‘alien to the Church’s entire faith and Tradition’.
Bringing into this conversation the material presented in the Deus ex Machina post from the 5th of August, 2016 titled, Ockham’s Razor Finds: Benedict Still Pope, Francis Is False Pope, Universal Church in State of Necessity since 24 April, 2005, along with the Non Veni Pacem post now, we now have more EVIDENCE of a very consistent factual, historical and analytical framework emerging that justifies the conclusion of that post, which incidentally serves as its title.
Concluding, what all Faithful Catholics need to understand is that the Church as founded by Our Lord must be recognizable. It must be recognizable EVERYWHERE, ALWAYS and BY ALL. Here is how the New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia states this requirement: (see here)
The marks of the Church are certain unmistakeable signs, or distinctive characteristics which render the Church easily recognizable to all, and clearly distinguish it from every other religious society, especially from those which claim to be Christian in doctrine and origin.
That such external signs are necessary to the true Church is plain from the aim and the purpose which Christ had in view when He made His revelation and founded a Church. The purpose of the redemption was the salvation of men. Hence, Christ made known the truths which men must heed and obey.
He established a Church to which He committed the care and the exposition of these truths, and, consequently He made it obligatory on all men that they should know and hear it (Matthew 18:17). It is obvious that this Church, which takes the place of Christ, and is to carry on His work by gathering men into its fold and saving their souls, must be evidently discernible to all. There must be no doubt as to which is the true Church of Christ, the one which has received, and has preserved intact the Revelation which He gave it for man’s salvation.
Were it otherwise the purpose of the Redemption would be frustrated, the blood of the Saviour shed in vain, and man’s eternal destination at the mercy of chance.
Without doubt, therefore, Christ, the all-wise legislator, impressed upon His Church some distinctive external marks by which, with the use of ordinary diligence, all can distinguish the real Church from the false, the society of truth from the ranks of error.
These marks flow from the very essence of the Church; they are properties inseparable from its nature and manifestive of its character, and, in their Christian and proper sense, can be found in no other institution. In the Formula of the Council of Constantinople (A.D. 381), four marks of the Church are mentioned — unity, sanctity, Catholicity, Apostolicity — which are believed by most theologians to be exclusively the marks of the True Church.
I would just add, “by all Catholic theologians” in the place of “most”.
Given the above, what is becoming clear for all observers of this bishopric of Rome, both secular and clergy is that it lacks some if not all the marks of the Catholic Church.
And it is in FACT this “conundrum” that the Non Ven Pacem and the Deus ex Machina blogs are trying to reconcile.
IF the conclusions of the Deus ex Machina blog, as supported by the Non Veni Pacem blog is correct, i.e. as outlined in point 3) of the conclusion, i.e.
The Universal Catholic Church has been put under a State of Necessity by Benedict XVI at the time of his ascension to the Throne of St. Peter, i.e. April 24, 2005. The State of Necessity was “formalized” by Benedict’s “resignation that wasn’t”. The current state is that the Catholic Church is under Benedict’s “pontificate of exception”…
THEN the reconciliation between this period in Catholic history known as the Francis bishopric of Rome and the Catholic Church as instituted by Our Lord (and as defined by the Universal Magisterium) will be quite easy for the future Council of Econe.
All that that Council will need to do is declare the Francis bishopric of Rome as exierunt autem numquam. (Never having existed)
And this must be done by the future Council of Econe even if “fiat justitia ruat caelum!.

S.A., as you insist that Pope Benedict XVI is Pope, then the following actions of his are orthodox. Correct?…but when performed by His Holiness Pope Francis, they are heretical. Correct?… 🙂
— Insisting that the Novus Ordo will remain as the Latin Church’s primary Mass.
— Having replaced the Traditional Roman Liturgy’s Good Friday prayer for Jews.
— Unwavering commitment to the Ecumenical Movement.
— Unwavering commitment to interfaith dialogue.
— Attacking capitalism.
— Praying in a synagogue.
— Praying in a mosque.
— Praising Martin Luther.
— Worshiping on Sunday in Rome’s Lutheran Church.
— Spinning Father Teilhard DeChardin in positive fashion.
— Convoking Assisi III, featuring a voodoo witch doctor who chanted a prayer to a strange god.
— Insisting that the SSPX does not exercise a legitimate ministry within the Church.
Again, those are just some of Pope Benedict XVI’s actions. Said actions are orthodox. Correct? But when performed by Pope Francis, are heretical. Correct? 🙂

Ockham’s Razor trumps the Holy Catholic Church’s unwavering insistence that Pope Francis is Her Pope? Really, S.A.?
Your employment of Ockham’s Razor has authority over the Holy Catholic Church’s election of Cardinal Bergoglio as Her Pope? Really?
In short, S.A., you, via Ockham’s Razor, have the authority over the Holy Catholic Church to determine who is Pope? Really?
Also, S.A., in reality, you have called Pope Benedict XVI a “liar” as he has declared unwaveringly that he renounced his Ponticate.
But you have insisted otherwise.
S.A., if you are to be believed, then…
1. You have claimed for yourself authority over the Holy Catholic Church to determine who reigns as Her Pope.
2. Pope Benedict is a liar and fraud.
Sorry, S.A., but as a Catholic, I am unable to accept your claims in question as they constitute schism.

I’m interested by the use of “Holy Catholic Church”. Is S.A. promoting “schism’? From what exactly?
The fact is in the common usage of the word there is a great deal of ambiguity on what “Catholic” is. Is it what a pope says it is or something else? The Nicene Creed? 20 Doctrinal Councils? Vatican II? What if you couldn’t agree with the contents of the Oath against Modernism? Just the stuff we like? The collection of buildings and people around the Roman bath-house?
Can we make crap up today or yesterday 180 degrees contrary to ecumenical councils and call them Catholic? If we fail to call Church leadership on this when it happens are we being legalistic or obedient to the Holy Spirit?
Francis is the accepted bishop of Rome, I don’t like it but there it is. He may or may not be identified as an antipope by a future council. There is evidence to suggest Benedict did not intend to resign so much as bi-furcate. Our discussion/argument on that point is almost secondary to the reality the discussion is happening at all- we are in uncharted waters: liberal, conservative, traditional.
I’ve heard it said from all 3 groups there is no such thing as “liberal, conservative, traditional.” only Catholic and non-Catholic. Fine, then we had better agree on a definition because we have a buffoon in white saying outrageous things- things that would make most protestants and Catholic saint alike be horrified.
On a tangential but important note considering basic qualifications to be “Catholic”:
For the love of all that is Holy in front of Our Lord, Francis should be on his knees- even most liberals get that.
He has the optics of being the worst pope ever. The apostle Judas at least had honesty. Other corrupt popes had their vices but typically did not mess with the “Catholic” Faith.
Even my Presbyterian Father genuflected before the Real Presence, not because he believed but because others did and he was in THEIR house. But I guess we’re now in Francis’ house.. as if it were his to do with as he wills. Is that Catholic then?
An abomination of desolation?
What a mess. Hopefully everyone reading and writing here just wants to do God’s will and we’re just coming from different perspectives but I got to tell you the past few years have opened my eyes and have made me ponder that word “Catholic”.
I heard a beautiful sermon on perfect contrition by St Alphonsus Liguori the other day and it strikes me that is a common thread of true Catholics- a desire for Perfect Contrition- a sincere desire to never offend Our Beloved Lord and King. By action or inaction (i.e. parable of the Talents).
I just don’t “get”/understand the folks who defend Francis’ behavior and words. I mean no ill will, I simply do not understand how we serve or intend to serve the same God.
Perhaps I’m the one in the wrong. God knows the heart- every motivation. We live the First Commandment or we choose another path.
“If anyone says that the commandments of God are, even for one that is justified and constituted in grace, impossible to observe, let him be anathema.” -Council of Trent
One of the great gifts of S.A. is his focus on ontology. What do our opinions matter of their own merit? Only in their closeness to what is true and real.

Drew, one of the ways to determine if something is “Catholic” is whether something has always, everywhere been part of the teaching.
But even then there are some problems. In the early Church, Confession was a one time event. The Irish began offering and encouraging frequent use of the sacrament. Is that a development or a change. The Church has always presented it a development.
The permitting of committed, non-penitent, public adulterers to Holy Communion is a change and not Catholic.

S.A., as you claim that Pope Benedict XVI remains Pope, then why do you refuse to recognize his God-given authority to teach, govern, and sanctify you?
Why, for example, do you refuse to recognize the following teaching of Pope Benedict XVI?
Pope Benedict XVI:
“The fact that the Society of Saint Pius X does not possess a canonical status in the Church is not, in the end, based on disciplinary but on doctrinal reasons.
“As long as the Society does not have a canonical status in the Church, its ministers do not exercise legitimate ministries in the Church.
“…the Society has no canonical status in the Church, and its ministers …do not legitimately exercise any ministry in the Church.”
=======================================================
S.A., with all due respect, it is clear that you have become your own Pope. That is, not only do you refuse to recognize Pope Francis’ authority to govern you, you have refused also to obey Pope Benedict XVI’s authority to govern you.
S.A., frankly, you pick and choose your own Church teachings to accept or reject as you please.
It matters not that you believe that Pope Benedict XVI is Pope as you disobey him…you have become your own Pope.
The SSPX does not “legitimately exercise any ministry in the Church.” — Pope Benedict XVI.
Again, S.A,, if you believe truly that he is Pope, why do you refuse to submit to Pope Benedict XVI’s God-given authority to teach and govern you?
