Bishop Schneider Responds to Archbishop Viganò On Papal Legitimacy

[@laurenfur]

I agree with Vigano but appreciate hearing Schneider’s argument. It’s an important topic and the conversation needs to be had.

[@smithface8791]

@@sA-ny2jlThe thing is to be focused and not sway in the breeze about what the Pope has said and done/not done in his ordinary capacity and which bishop is right, and which is wrong etc. One cannot make proper discernment if he does not know right from wrong, so one should pay much more attention to the Holy Scriptures and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

[@davegaetano7118]

​@@fairyspunfibers9098 It sounded to me like the bishop only started to say that but then caught himself. He seemed to suddenly realize that saying that a non-Catholic cannot be a pope could apply to Bergoglio if Bergoglio has fallen from the Catholic faith through heresy or apostasy. Because if Bergoglio has fallen from the Catholic faith, and if a non-Catholic cannot be a valid pope, then maybe Bergoglio is not a valid pope after all.

Many thanks for this wonderful talk by Bishop Schneider. We are getting too caught up in the actions of the Holy Father and speculating what he means by his words rather than facing our own faults. Any prolonged negative thoughts and emotions about the Church and the Holy Father is a distraction. We are to look at our OWN sins and faults and work on our faith, hope and love - in short our sanctification. At the end of our life, we don't have to answer for the Pope or any Bishop and priest - just for our love for Jesus Christ. I believe this will be the essence of our judgement, not if we received the communion in a Latin Mass or Novus Ordo Mass. It is how we participated and believed and longed for Jesus in the Eucharist. Granted, that it is easier to elevate our thoughts to God in an environment of reverence and when the priest is a holy man - but it is not a given.

Similar, or related to a lot of other things going on in the world, it was t there long ago when all of this would've been trees falling in the forest with no one around to hear it.

Long story shot, just go back to your lives and do something else and put down your phones. If parishioners - and the occassional priest and bishop - particularly in the US, werent so concerned with trying to politically impose a protestant theocracy there, none of this socalled crisis would seem a lot less lole a crisis.

That's an interesting point. Bishop Schneider here says that the universal acceptance by the bishops automatically makes him the Pope. Yet he would also admit that if a Pope were forced from office, even if the Pope said the words and cooperated, his resignation would be invalid. So you'd have an invalid resignation where the real Pope remained Pope, followed by a universal acceptance of someone else as Pope. Yet according to Schneider, since the second "Pope" was universally accepted, then that automatically makes him Pope. Which is absurd and heretical, since that would be the heresy of conciliarism. 🤔

So the hohopper from the middle ages who bought his way into the papacy was a valid pope??

[@bottomtext7700]

We get what we deserve. Always. "God the Father" isn't just a catchy phrase. Stop putting so much faith in our humam ability to see every perspective and acount for all things to our personal satisfaction. Trust in God. After all what choice do we actually have? We aren't really in control of anything outside our grasp anyway. Our personal duty and responsibilities are to our families. That is the focus, not Rome.

Must we then assume that a dangerous, illegitimately elected pope, who can do great harm to souls, is the will of God for the Church? And if it is God's will, wouldn't it be wrong for the faithful to reject the Pope and his goals for the Church?

[@RestoreJustice675]

If God ordains a bad pope it is because he is allowing us to suffer the consequences of our immoral societal choices. I believe it was King David who said "I hate them that hate you"

John 8:32 you were created from fertilization, the political and religious people, deceiver's starts legislation at conception (seven days after fertilization) the placenta is biological (Mary and Jesus) immaculate conception or perfect idea. When the baby is born the medical society in collusion with the legal society commit an act of mayhem by cutting the umbilical cord. The after birth is then used as assurity for the corporate debt. Luke 5;31 1usc8. Yes Jesus paid the debt however it was your biological property. Hosea 4:6.

Also, if Church is only vessel of grace for the world let's ask ourselves how good we done. God only allowed this to purify His Church, because is His Church not ours!

[@ppqp83]

Don't confuse God's will, with Him allowing something. Completely different things: He doesn't want a single soul lost, yet He allows us all to decide. Furthermore, your argument can be reversed: if it's God's will that the faithful speak up and reject an unholy/invalid Pope previously to fulfill his goals for the Church (filtering the bad seeds and strengthening the faith), wouldn't it be doing if we didn't?

[@kozanutria7728]

@@ppqp83 if Churches history and law do not allow us to reject pope why you would like to do it? Main purpose of the Church is suffering if you think differently that only means you do nit belive that Church is mystical body of Christ. Also, if heretic pope is the reason that some will start live in mortal sin only means that they been waiting for that,an excuse " because pope said so". Question is are they Catholic ever been Catholic? Don't think so.

[@Byzntinhart]

Agree this is not spiritually healthy to pit bishop against bishop. I do not agree with Bishop Schneider that francis is the pope just because everyone accepts it. I agree with Vigano. It seems Schneider is too steeped in disbelief that we are living in unprecedented times and are kiting with an invalid pope. Bergoglio doesn't want to be called pope. 100% disagree with Schneider

[@RenacitoRamos]

I think the discussion among the bishops about this matter is healthy. These discussions will help the Church to clarify these matters in the future. It may be difficult now, but indeed the Catholic Church will continue as Christ promised.

THERE ARE SEVERAL SUPPOSEDLY ORTHODOX WEBSITES THAT INSIST THAT FRANCIS THE MERCIFUL IS A VALID POPE. PERHAPS HE IS FOR SOME OTHER CHURCH OR CULT, BUT HE IS NOT NOW NOR HAS HE EVER BEEN A POPE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. -Bishop Rene Gracida

[@synergistic200gmail6]

Bishop Rene Gracida, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Corpus Christi has a great deal of insight to offer. He is one of the American hierarchy’s best kept secrets. Unfortunately, he is not as well known as he should be. Bishop Gracida is a hundred years old and has much to teach us. His is a perspective which hearkens back to the early part of the 1900’s.

[@tomasbarsvary938]

His name is Pope Francis and yes, he is the Vicar of Christ.

[@jasonperez4975]

@@tomasbarsvary938 Actually, St Paul has already anathematized the diabolical man called Bergoglio, anti-pope and false teacher. In Galatians 1, we're told by none other than St Paul that even if he or "an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than the one you received, let him be ANATHEMA." Jesus, speaking of His flock, warned us that false shepherds would arise deceiving many, but "My sheep hear my voice and know Me, and they follow Me." Bergoglio does not speak with the voice of Jesus Christ; he is false. Repent of defending a false teacher, or perish eternally.

[@maureenavila9970]

I believe that St. Robert Bellarmine got this question on papacy correct when he said that if a Pope would fall into heresy he would depose himself and that competent Church authorities could than remove declare him so and then remove him from office. This teaching was reflected in the code of Canon Law previous to but not repeated in the early 20th century Code . Some say that when a present situation finds no provision in the existing Code ,a previous Code which contained a relevant solution should be applied.@@tomasbarsvary938

​@jasonperez4975 what did he teach that's heresy?

[@djo-dji6018]

How about trying to be a better Catholic instead of constantly complaining about Pope Francis? Didn't Jesus choose Judas as one of the twelve? Didn't he allow Judas to betray Him? Be charitable, often Pope Francis acts as a good Pope, don't trust the haters, read first-hand sources and criticise with prudence.

[@sleepinglioness5754]

Clarity and charity. I believe this all part of the awakening. God is giving us an opportunity to either learn or remain in the dark; particularly those who will vote in the next conclave. Now is the time for us to focus on those who have lost hope. This is God's assignment for us to go out and be the hope for those who have lost it. Thank you, Bishop Schneider. May God bless you and protect you. God bless Lifesite.
