Transcript from the video "Redde Rationem"
“Redde rationem” – “Give an account” – is a phrase taken from the Gospel of Saint Luke that has entered colloquial jargon to mean giving an account of things. In our previous brief documentaries we have illlustrated the first two moves made by Pope Benedict XVI to save the Church from being usurped by members of the hierarchy who were and are no longer Catholic.
In the first documentary video Dies Irae we captured the perfection of the canonical device by means of which, in 2013, Pope Ratzinger did not in fact abdicate but rather allowed himself to be placed by the cardinals in a “totally impeded see” so that he could remain the true pope, albeit self-confined within the Vatican, thereby placing his enemies – the so-called “Saint Gallen Mafia” – into schism.
The second documentary video, Intelligenti Pauca, showed how over the course of his nine years of confinement, Pope Benedict made us understand his explosive canonical situation by means of a series of unequivocal messages which we called the “Ratzinger Code.”
In this third video, Redde Rationem, we will deal with the final solution foreseen by the Holy Father for this ingenious anti-usurpation system that he developed (as cardinal) at least thirty years before putting it into action.
The purifying and eschatological plan for the Church, of which Pope Ratzinger made himself the implementer, envisions temporarily yielding power to certain subtly gnostic and anti-Catholic currents existing within the Church in such a way that they will publicly manifest their subversive and inversive intentions. At the same time, true believers and all who love the truth will begin not only to understand the nature of this false church but also to understand what Pope Benedict actually did, thanks to his discreet and ingenious messages sent to those who “have ears to hear.”
John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger had prepared for decades for the final test of an antichristic religious deception foretold in paragraph 675 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Knowing that in the future the pope would be forced to “pull the emergency lever” of this anti-usurpation plan which had already been prepared as part of the new Code of Canon Law issued in 1983. In canon 332 § 2, which regulates the abdication of a pope, the new Code states for the first time the need to specifically renounce the Petrine munus, that is, the divinely instituted office with which the Successor of Saint Peter is entrusted.
John Paul II took the further step of having the Mater Ecclesiae monastery built within the Vatican during the early 1990s, so that the future impeded pope could remain physically present in the See, as punctually happened with Benedict XVI, who, not by chance, took refuge there while keeping his papal name and his white papal garment.
And now what? Now that everything has been discovered, how can the Church be saved, now that it is understood in detail how Benedict always remained the one true pope in an impeded see?
Naturally, a plan of such perfection could not remain without a coherent conclusion on the canonical, theological, and eschatological level, that is, with regard to the Last Things.
The solution is ready; there is nothing to invent or improvise: it is contained in the Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis, promulgated in 1996 by Pope John Paul II, which was clearly co-written by Cardinal Ratzinger. It was an increasingly stringent refinement of the procedures connected with the valid election of the pope or the pope’s valid resignation.
In this text we find the “instruction booklet” on how to get the Church out of the impasse of a usurped Apostolic See. As early as article 3, we read: “I further establish that the College of Cardinals may make no dispositions whatsoever concerning the rights of the Apostolic See and of the Roman Church, much less allow any of these rights to lapse, either directly or indirectly, even though it be to resolve disputes or to prosecute actions perpetrated against these same rights after the death or valid resignation of the Pope. All the Cardinals are obliged to defend these rights.”
This is quite clear: the cardinals – who wear red to symbolize their readiness for martyrdom – have the DUTY to enforce the rights of the Apostolic See: they cannot dispose of them at will, or let them lapse, not even to avoid a schism.
Therefore, if the Apostolic See has been usurped and the legitimate pope has been impeded, the College of Cardinals MUST intervene, because the rights of the See have been violated.
Therefore, what is absolutely to be excluded is the “broad way” of the DISHONEST CONCLAVE with 81 false cardinal electors nominated by an antipope, which could only give us, in any case, another antipope.
But the true instrument for intervening is found in articles 76 and 77.
Article 77 establishes that “the dispositions concerning everything that precedes the election of the Roman Pontiff and the carrying out of the election itself must be observed in full, even if the vacancy of the Apostolic See should occur as a result of the resignation of the Supreme Pontiff, in accordance with the provisions of Canon 332 § 2 of the Code of Canon Law.”
But the definitive article is number 76, which states: “Should the election take place in a way other than that prescribed in the present Constitution, or should the conditions laid down here not be observed, the election is for this very reason null and void, without any need for a declaration on the matter; consequently, it confers no right on the one elected.”
As we have seen, if the See remains vacant due to the resignation of the pope, according to Universi Dominici Gregis this must take place in accordance with canon 332 § 2, the famous canon that foresees the resignation of the Petrine munus.
And this never happened, given that Pope Benedict never renounced the munus, his being pope, but rather he only declared that he renounced the ministerium, the power to “act as pope,” thereby allowing the Cardinals to implement this resignation, placing him – in virtue of the convocation of an illegitimate conclave – in a totally impeded See.
And this is the only canonical situation in which the pope loses the ministerium but retains the munus.
Therefore, the election of Bergoglio was null and invalid, because it took place with a Pope Benedict who did not renounce the munus, who had not abdicated, but rather was impeded. Thus “Pope Francis” never existed and never had the right to do anything with papal authority, much less appoint cardinals or excommunicate anyone.
Of particular interest is the provision of article 76: “The election is for this very reason null and void, without any need for a declaration on the matter.” So there is no need for a synod, or a canonical inquiry, or who knows what other sort of laborious process. All that is needed is that tomorrow morning, one or several of the authentic cardinals appointed prior to 2013 say four words – the famous words, “Vere papa mortuus est” – thereby declaring that the legitimate Pope Benedict XVI is truly dead and it is thus necessary to convene the new conclave.
This is what Pope Ratzinger always prayed for, as he himself indicated in his Declaratio and in his last address to the College of Cardinals: that the cardinals may be docile to the action of the Holy Spirit in the election of the new (legitimate) pope.
The cardinals who take such an initiative cannot be sanctioned by Bergoglio, since they are protected by Universi Dominici Gregis, which imposes on them the duty to intervene should a canonical dispute emerge. The question of the impeded See has now been clarified down to the tiniest details. Moreover, as attested by various internal sources, everyone in the Vatican knows perfectly well where things stand.
No alternative path to this application of Universi Dominici Gregis can be pursued: even if an attempt would be made to remove Bergoglio for heresy – an eventuality that is not practically addresses in canon law – his false cardinals would however remain in their positions and, in the next invalid conclave, another antipope would thus be elected, who in any case would be lacking the special assistance of the Holy Spirit.
Any sedevacantist hypothesis that attempts to delegitimize all the post-conciliar popes should also be completely rejected, since, if one considers the last valid pope to be Pius XII, that would mean that for decades there has no longer been a valid ecclesial hierarchy, no true cardinal.
In order to save the visible Church, the only thing needed is to tell the truth: to pronounce the Word, the Verbum, the Breath of Jesus Christ which annihilates the mystery of iniquity, to use the words of Saint Paul.
Just like Jesus Christ, whose Vicar he was, Pope Benedict XVI allowed himself to be imprisoned, flogged, and outraged: meek as a sacrifical Lamb and following the teaching of the Savior, he did not “oppose the wicked”; he loved his enemies and prayed for his persecutors. He died, and now his resurrection will be canonical: the one who was considered as an ex-pope, a pope who abdicated, will once again be discovered by the Church and by the faithful as the only – and, for now, the last – true Pope of the Catholic Church.
