DIES IRAE - Nothing but the truth about Benedict XVI's resignation
Ten years have now passed since the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and it is still being debated. «It should have been clear», so said Bergoglio on July the 12th 2022, and we can only agree with him. In fact, don't you find it strange that a man as humble and modest as Joseph Ratzinger, having resigned, still chose to remain in the Vatican wearing white, remaining in the way of his successor?
And what about the fact that for over nine years Benedict continually said: «There is only one Pope», without ever explaining which one of the two it was? It hasn't been clear how it was possible for him to be "Pope Emeritus", since the position does not exist juridically, as has been noted from the very beginning by the most respected canonists. However, in order to get to the bottom of this mystery, Pope Ratzinger left us some keys to help us understand the canonical question.
In his 2016 book-interview "Last Conversations" with Peter Seewald — a text specifically authorized and approved by the Pope Emeritus — Benedict said in reference to his own resignation: «No Pope has resigned for a thousand years». The book reiterates this again towards the end when it states: «Benedict XVI was the first Pope to resign after a thousand years». The trouble with this statement is that the last Pope to abdicate was Gregory XII in 1415, which was only 598 years before Ratzinger resigned in 2013, not one thousand years. Thus, unquestionably, the word "resignation" did not mean the same thing as abdication for Benedict, and he did not consider himself to have abdicated.
Well then, what kind of resignation did he give? As we have recently discovered, there was a resignation very similar to his exactly one thousand years earlier, in A.D. 1013, by Pope Benedict VIII, a medieval Pope who also did not abdicate. In an investigation that has lasted two and a half years, including over 400 articles and a best-selling book "The Ratzinger Code", we have patiently reconstructed the entire scenario.
Paolo Flores d'Arcais explained in his 2010 work "Ratzinger's Obscurantist Challenge" how Benedict XVI had the fault of being the guardian of Christian values that were opposed to the globalist powers. As a result of WikiLeaks, we know that already in 2012 the Clinton-Obama administration was plotting the removal of Pope Benedict; it became necessary to replace him with a Pope who would be more amenable to many other projects. The executive arm of this operation was a branch of the ultra-modernist Cardinals, the so-called "Saint Gallen Mafia", the group that sponsored Bergoglio as the future Pope.
In 2016, Archbishop Gänswein quoted a speech by Ratzinger describing this group as representing a «dictatorship of relativism» that does not recognize anything as definitive. In the same year, thanks to Vatileaks, the so-called "Mordkomplott" also came to light, a plan to kill Pope Benedict spoken about by Cardinal Paolo Romeo and Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos. Three bishops (Gracida, Negri and Viganò) later affirmed publicly that Pope Ratzinger was forced to take himself out of the way.
And so, in 2013, pressured to abdicate in a way that was unsustainable for his strength, Benedict XVI decided to apply an ingenious anti-usurpation plan in order to defend the Church. On February 11th, in the presence of the Consistory of Cardinals, in an entirely unexpected way, he read aloud a text in Latin containing only 262 words that would change history. In his Declaration, which was filled with various errors in Latin and stylistic imperfections unexplainable for a distinguished latinist like Ratzinger, we were told that the Pope announced that beginning at 20:00 hour on February 28th, he would renounce his ministerium so that the Sea of Rome would remain vacant.
This at least was the translation in Italian and other vernacular languages that was communicated to us. But in reality, things were very different, and we know this thanks to an examination of the original Latin text. Just like a Pope's selection is a purely juridical act that must be simultaneous since it is God who grants or withdraws the investiture of the successor of Saint Peter, the so-called munus petrinum, and certainly one cannot give God an assent that has an expiration date.
The second problem concerns the munus itself. Canon 332, paragraph 2, of the Code of Canon Law provides that a Pope may abdicate, but only by renouncing the munus petrinum, that is, the title given to him by God. In short, he must renounce "being" Pope. But in the Latin version of the Declaration (the only one that is authoritative), Benedict XVI declares that he renounces the ministerium — the "doing" what a Pope does, the exercise of power that derives from the munus. This distinction does not appear in other languages because both munus and ministerium are translated with the same word: "ministry".
Any synonymity between munus and ministerium is to be totally excluded, both because in all of canon law the ministerium (the thing which Benedict resigned) always and only means doing or exercising an office, and also because Pope Benedict specifies in the Declaration that the ministerium was granted to him per manus cardinalium (by the hand of the Cardinals), who are able to confer only the authority to "do" what the Pope does, whereas the munus is granted by God himself at the moment of the election.
So, in order to abdicate, the Pope needs to renounce the munus in an instantaneous way; but Pope Benedict did the opposite: he renounced the ministerium in a deferred way. Once again, we have confirmation that the Declaration was not an act of abdication. Finally, there is the third mystery: the Pope cannot canonically separate the ministerium from the munus. Actually, this can happen in only one case: when there is a "totally impeded sea" (Sede Impedita) — the alternative to a vacancy. When the Pope has neither died nor abdicated, but is instead a prisoner, confined or exiled. In this case, the Pope still possesses the munus (being Pope), but he's forcibly deprived of the ministerium.
The key is found in the time at which the renunciation of the ministerium took effect. The translations say it would be at 8:00 PM on February 28th, but in Latin Pope Benedict said it would occur at the "ora vigesima" (the 20th hour). He is referring to Roman time, traditional in Italy and the Papal States since the Middle Ages. Roman time does not start counting the hours at midnight but instead begins at sunset. On February 28th 2013, the sun set at 6:00 PM. All we need to do is add 20 hours to find out that the ora vigesima corresponds to 1:00 PM on March the 1st.
What had just happened at 1:00 PM on March the 1st? The official Vatican Bulletin comes out between 12:00 and 1:00 PM. On that day, Cardinal Dean Angelo Sodano convoked the new conclave even though Pope Benedict had not abdicated. The conclave was thus illegitimate and produced a coup d'Ă©tat that automatically sent Benedict XVI into a "totally impeded sea", thereby depriving him of the ministerium. How is it possible to imagine a Pope more impeded than one who sees another Pope elected in his place while he is still reigning?
For this reason, Benedict kept his papal name and his robe, continued to give the apostolic blessing and resided in the Vatican. Not for nothing did he tell Archbishop Gänswein to say at the L.U.M.S.A. University: «If you do not believe, the answer is found in the book of Jeremiah», where we read: «I am impeded». This clarifies the 17-day deferment of the renunciation of the ministerium. Benedict XVI had prophesied that the Cardinals would unknowingly convene an abusive conclave. His renunciation thus became effective precisely at the ora vigesima, March the 1st at 1:00 PM, the hour in which he would no longer be the "Pontiff Supreme" (reversing the title), as an illegitimate Pope would be ruling in his place.
The translation of the Declaration stating the sea will be "vacant" is mistaken because the Latin verb vacare literally means "empty, clear and free". In fact, Pope Benedict left his seat empty — the cathedra of the Bishop of Rome in the Lateran — and never returned to it. Benedict became "Pope Emeritus" or rather "Pope Impeditus". With this ingenious system, Benedict ensured that he could remain the one true Pope, placing his heretical enemies into Schism, ensuring that any other Pope elected while he was alive would not be a true Pope.
The alleged Pope Francis is therefore an antipope and his pontificate must be annulled. Ratzinger himself wrote that his personal friendship with Francis had grown — a one-way relationship. Benedict XVI gave perfect fulfillment to Jesus' commandment: «Love your enemies and pray for your persecutors». Today the problem is communicating to the Cardinals how this resignation took place. Canon 335 prescribes that when the sea is entirely impeded, nothing is to be altered in the governance of the Church. It took ten years, but the truth, as Saint Augustine says, is like a lion: once she is set free, she defends herself.
1) On February 11, Benedict announced that, from the hora vigesima of February 28, he would renounce his ministerium so that the See of Rome would remain EMPTY. But the hora vigesima, for Roman time, does not correspond to our 20:00 in the evening, it is instead a period of time that begins at 13:00 on March 1 and ends at 14:00.
2) Between 12.00 and 13.00 on March 1, (horaXIX) the cardinal dean Angelo Sodano convokes the new conclave, abusive, because the pope is not dead and has not abdicated.
3) This automatically sends Pope Benedict to a totally impeded See where, in fact, he is forcibly deprived of his ministerium.
4) Thus, Benedict's "resignation" becomes effective, that is, factual, certainly starting from the vigesima hora, 13:00: the renunciation of the ministerium that had been prophesied by Pope Ratzinger on February 11, is carried out by the same unaware cardinals who, not having understood the Declaratio in Latin, have convoked the conclave.
5) Benedict freely accepts the impediment, becomes emeritus (the one who deserves to be pope) and locks himself in the monastery Mater Ecclesiae, leaving the see of Rome EMPTY, without a pope. The pseudo-conclave of March 13 elects Card. Bergoglio ANTIPOPE: he will be the illegitimate pope, "an active member of the enlarged ministry,” from the speech of Bishop Gaenswein, while Benedict XVI, the legitimate pope, remains the contemplative member. The antipapacy, once recognized, must be annulled.
Very simple, brilliant, a true egg of Columbus. Like all super-simple things, they are very difficult to understand, so much so that it took us two and a half years, with continuous work and the help of some specialists, (most recently, Prof. Luca Brunoni and Prof. Matteo Corrias) as well as readers and collaborators.
