• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Taylor Marshall just released on his YouTube channel a two part interviewwith Archbishop Viganò. In the videos, Marshall reads Viganò’s written responses to written questions that had been submitted to him.

Here I will only focus on one of the questions and Viganò’s response. Question #10 reads as follows:

“What do you think of the munus vs. ministerium argument that Benedict XVI did not truly resign?”

(Source: Dr. Taylor Marshall, Vigano interview, Part II)

I don’t intend to go into great detail on Viganò’s reasoning, which readers can read or hear for themselves at around the 25:00 mark in Marshall’s video. The key takeaway is that Archbishop Viganò replied, in part, saying (bold added):

“The resignation of Benedict XVI, due to the procedural defects and canonical monstrumthat it produced [of two apparent “popes”], is certainly invalid…”

Clearly, Viganò says that Benedict’s resignation was invalid. He goes on to say that “The fact that Ratzinger may have subjectively believed that he abdicated from the papacy does not affect the nullity of the Renunciation.”

Thus, following the logic, if Benedict remained pope till his death, it would obviously follow the conclave that elected Bergoglio, and his election was invalid as well. So, here it is clearly evident that Archbishop Viganò now firmly holds the Benepapist (or Benevacantist/Beneplenist) position.
