Msgr. X: Is the Abuse of Power By a Vicar of Christ Possible and Admissible?

Dear friends and foes of Stilum Curiae, Msgr. X has offered us this disconsolate reflection on the present state of the Church and on the climate that one lives and breathes in it. A climate that has very little in it that is Christian or evangelical…Happy reading and reflection.

Msgr. X: Is the Abuse of Power By a Vicar of Christ Possible and Admissible?
Msgr. X to Tosatti.
Is the abuse of power By a Vicar of Christ possible and admissible?
On many occasions I have been asked why I contest Bergoglio’s work.
In the last few years, in my official role, I have been the object of contestation by exponents of the Catholic world, who prior to 2013 were definable conservatives, because of the firmness with which I am accustomed to address questions of doctrine, above all questions of the Social Doctrine of the Church.
I would say that in the last eight years the meaning of clericalism and anti-clericalism has radically changed: today Catholic clergy and laity have become clericalizes, in the sense of blind and absolute obedience to the pope in office.
The alternative is either marginalization or submitting to a commissariat.
Is it possible to live in fear inside the Church? The fear of speaking of God, even the fear of praying.
Chesterton wrote, referring to Saint Peter crucified upside-down, that “Peter is still Peter for humanity, even though upside down He does not cease to dominate Europe still today and millions of Christians breathe only in his Church.”
Alas, Chesterton would no longer write this today, but instead he would speak of the “abuse of power” of Peter’s successor.
Abuse of power means exercising one’s role illegitimately, cancelling the subjective right of those who must comply.
The Law is the Gospels and the Commandments, and the subjective right, for a Catholic, is to live according to them.
Today we are helplessly witnessing the erosion of the Truth of the Risen Lord; today we see a large part of the Church imitating social workers and inviting the faithful to do the same, dealing with material rather than spiritual misery and replacing Christian charity with a mistaken social solidarity where the faith dissolves into a form of humanism without God that is instead politically correct (inequalities, immigration, environmentalism).
Apologetics is today replaced by “Environmentologetics” and the dogmas of the Church are ridiculed and rejected because they are considered outdated by the “adult Catholics” who now lead this church.
And too many Catholic traditionalists of yesterday are consenting out of cowardice and the illusion of self-preservation.
For eight years we have been living in a nightmare of abuse of power that does not satisfy either the heart or the intellect, but instead takes away all hope and deprives the world of the vision of eternal light.
Today the church does not have the many problems she has always had in her history.
Today the church has only one real problem, which, let’s face it, we don’t know how to face and solve.
Msgr. X

I agree with your statement, that we are facing a unique, tremendous problem that we do not know how to solve.
The situation so unique that even the solutions that Bellarmin thought about for the theoretical case of a pope who becomes heretic cannot function for the present situation, since not only the pope, but the majority of cardinals and bishops share his “values”. No council will ever condemn Bergoglio.
Honestly, I think that it is not a solution to wait for such a council. We are not talking about internal, private heresy. The heresies of Bergoglio have been manifested, are exterior, are public (like his solidarization with the heretic Luther, to mention just one), as was also his apocaliptic-triggering idolatry with Pachamama. If this is so – if his heresy is manifest, exterior and public – there is no need for a condemnation by a council. He automatically ceases to be pope. This would mean that we have a situation of “sede vacante” – if Bergoglio was indeed pope at some time – or of “sede impedita” if the pope is still BXVI – in the case that his renunciation was not valid because of formal defficiencies of because it was done under pressure. It would be great if you could ellaborate on this. Out of charity to our brethren, we cannot wait longer. There is an urgent need to sort out the situation right now in order to be able to act upon properly: are we facing a “sede vacante” or a “sede impedita”?
If the “sede” is vacant, then a new pope must be elected. However, this can never be done by the current collegue of cardinals. This means that if Bergoglio has in fact not been pope since the moment of his first manifest, public heresy or since the beginning, due not only to the manipulation of his election by the St. Gallen mafia, but especially due to the pressure on BXVI, then all cardinals created by Bergoglio since that moment are not cardinals and should not participate in the conclave. Also invalid are all cardinals that participated as members of the St Gallen mafia (according to the provision of JPII they are excommunicated) and all those that publicly participated in acts of idolatry.
On the other hand, if the “sede” is “impedita”, than the faithful should remove all obstacles so that BXVI can again act as a pope and call a council with the valid, faithful remaining cardinals to discuss the path-forward. But how to da that?
