John Paul and Benedictus are affiliated with skulls and bones because they lead many souls to hell. The bones and skulls of souls burn interiorly. I recommend reading and internet sites of sede vacante traditional catholics, don't be fooled by many who claim to be the church including the SSPX who are fence riders and heretics for some of the heresies they believe in such as their illogical and heretical thesis and analysis of sedevacantism and that heretics can be valid popes, cardinals and bishop. That the novus ordo rites and sacraments are valid or licit and other denials of the catholic faith, dogmas and a denial of Christ Himself by watering down the Roman Catholic Church and its unchangeable position. They also believe in a more novel theory that there is salvation outside the Catholic Church and if there is a doctrine of
baptism of desire and blood, invincible ignorance they give more liberal expressions to them. The many traditionalists are divided on these issues on salvation. Follow scriptures and the earlier dogma on salvation doctrines. No mercy may be presumed or no salvation for souls can be presumed on these set dogmas so only Christ can determine who is saved on these so called novelty sounding "doctrines" of baptism of desire and invincible ignorance. I will not attach myself to teaching what appears to be novelty dogma or doctrine for it may not be good at all to speak on a subject we accuse others of heresy and those who accuse others of heresy for rejecting these addendum to baptism of water and the Holy Ghost. The heretics manifest and material- who are affiliated with SSPX heresies are in the authority of what they force on their clergy and others who become a member of their sect. I have seen and heard things of the SSPX and they are only going to get more novel and lose the true catholic faith also. You are a member of a chapel of another branch of the novus ordo Vatican II cult in a more traditional style and the resistance the SSPX has is hypocrisy when they want attachment to Rome the Anti-Church the Whore of Babylon.

Jesus as the King who we are subject to always shall punish those who created the new "mass" and the new church. It is not really catholic since it denies Christ and many of His doctrinal teachings. When do you understand you people? I have to explain a hard truth. I recommend these books for reading, some are booklets. The Roman Rite Destroyed by Michael Davies.

Some of these matters were being contained by the better popes and the untainted church prior to Vatican II. Please read by Venerable Louis Grenada the Sinner's Guide.We will be punished for not having the Latin Mass back and widespread or if the hierarchy suppresses the St. Pius X Society for its truths the Vatican shall pay for its defiance of God. To attack or suppress any church or person that tells the truth and does what is truth is heretical in regard to the Latin Mass and post conciliar teachings. To suppress the Latin Mass is to slap Jesus Christ. That is what John Paul did. My belief is he's not in heaven. Exhume his body five years from now like they did John only to find John downward. Heresies of Pope John Paul II Truth of Divine and Catholic Faith. What is the first updated catholic teaching after the numbers will be contradicted or corrected with the doctrinal teaching of the Church. I will use for example 1., 2., for the falsities, and 1A, 2A, for the truth. I cannot verify the accuracy of all this regarding these 100 heresies of John Paul or what took place during his being Pope if these were actually said or taught for whatever reason. Check it but I believe it's true. He did say he would fulfill Vatican II and its goals, its missions. John XXIII, Paul VI and many collaboraters of Vatican II were masons and heretics. John Paul II knew full well they did evil and he was part of that evil at Vatican II. He had 26 years to correct the evils of Vatican II and the New Order Missa and the new order universal Catholic Church. He didn't but he had opportunity to repent of his evils so even if he has to be in purging torment until the end of the world he would still get to heaven. He only made it worse with his pagan friends some who happened to be masons. We have to see what Benedict will do to the church since he also is guilty of evil since the time of Vatican II himself. He can change the church for the better and hold back the wrath of the Lord on many more souls and lives. The first thing he needs to do is reveal the Third Secret in full and admit he was wrong. If it says that we would have an anti-pope or series of them he has to let it out now. An anti-pope is any vicar sitting in Rome on the seat of Peter that does contrary things to the will of God, teaches a false doctrine or makes one believe what they teach is dogmatic in faith and morals when it is heretical, sacriligious, demonic, or takes away from the traditions and reverences of the Holy Church. John Paul was notorious for this. Benedict is falling into his footsteps in his own style. These four popes we acknowledge as the visible vicars of Christ have done many things to show they catered to the devil instead. The anti-church of Vatican II suppressed true doctrine and the true Mass, it revised the liturgy, it revised doctrine and called all the saints and popes prior to its history outdated. It (new church) sadly is visible as are these last four popes who have lead about 1 billion souls to hell already directly from its new order false teachings and doctrines. Here we have something to "celebrate" the forty plus years of the closing of a false council that was passed off as a doctrinal council and not a pastoral council. I would prefer to dump ashes over myself and ask for mercy for the wicked catholic church of whores we now have. How can anyone be saved with the abominable prostitute we have inside the new order church? Save yourselves now from the bread they leavened in the new order rites and hope that His infinite mercy will be given you on your second coming of judgment. Most Holy Family Monastery is one of many sources where I obtain facts and other sources of information about Vatican II and many other modernistic teachings of the new order church, the pagan heretic popes we have had and Benedict XVI our latest heretic pope. See the links inside this site of the Monastery. Most Holy Family Monastery. Much of what sedevacantism says is true. They are right in saying they are anti-popes in the way a holy pope would not have done all the wicked things these Vatican II popes did or failed to do. Take a little bit of time to see this truth of our unholy church, that is the hierarchy, clergy and you people. This council should have never been called to begin with. The church was fine prior to Vatican II, though the people in it were not saints and it had its issues, we can now look back and say what the hell happened? We know what happened and it is hellbound. There are many truths that they hid from you. Many of us seek to get you active in finding out the truths for your souls. There have been many anti-popes in the history and they did not officially sit on the papal throne but there was a John XXIII in 1410. Cardinal Tedeschini and Cardinal Siri somehow were elected in 1958 but John emerged. Tedeschini was old and ill then died in 1959, but Siri was 50 at the time. Siri was elected again in 1963 but force was employed to have him vacate and Paul emerged. Siri died in 1989. John Paul II was a killer of souls and all he embraced. He embraced infidels, pagans, heretics, pro-aborts, dogs, apostates, and anything and anyone. He betrayed Jesus Christ, the church and souls of many. Hindus, Moslems, Buddhists, Shintos, Jews, Eastern Rite schismatics, orthodox schismatics, protestant denominations cannot be saved by their false and devilish, idolatrous religions. They are going to perish. New Order catholics who embrace all these false doctrines of Vatican II and its new order theology and social customs you also will perish. John Paul wearing a hindu garment only shows he accepted their culture and religion. Just from putting on their dirty stained devil worship cloth makes him a heretic. I have seen this motion footage of him. Our Lady Of The Rosary site says "we must conclude that John Paul II is very liberal, and certainly more so than those who came before him. In fact, his ecumenical activity has caused great scandal to the faithful, such as his giving praise to Martin Luther, or his receiving the "sign of Testa of the Tilak" during his 1986 visit to India, from a Hindu Priestess, or his participating in the animist Rites in Togo in 1985 with pagan priests, or his meeting with world religions in Assisi in 1986, where he allowed the Buddha to be enthroned above a tabernacle containing the Blessed Sacrament. It must be mentioned that, during his cardinalate in Poland, John Paul allowed Billy Graham to preach in his cathedral, as well as being the one who invited the charismatic movement into once Catholic Poland. I would hope the laity would take the time to read his writings, before they make a judgment in this regard." John Paul was a world leader, a charismatic clown, one in which the Holy Church condemns. He can be excommunicated for his liberalism, his heresies and the many things he has been guilty of. This post humous excommunication is necessary with the other post conciliar popes other than JP I since he was not around long enough to do any damage. But he also was a heretic but could have changed had he not been murdered by the masons and the Vatican. I shall not look into his papacy neither to condemn or to praise since I have not enough to form a basis of fact as to the damage done to souls.... John Paul II must be condemned with the 100 heresies in that they do provide the necessary sources as indicated by some traditionalists sites. His actions, sayings, his associations inside the church and outside the church prove he was guilty of many of these accusations regarding the doctrine of the faith. The watchdogs of the church and many protestants have followed after the popes, bishops and clergy to see what they would do since John XXIII and I even have to use what the outsiders and media (which I despise) have been able to present in word, photos, video. There is so much more to all of this and so much has been unseen and unheard we can only speculate on. 1. The Catholic Church Lacks Unity. UUS:7-10 Heresies of Pope John Paul II Truth of Divine and Catholic Faith |
What's Wrong with the New "Mass?"
"Vatican II, the Pope and the Mass" by Rev. Donald J. Sanborn.Among other things, the liturgical changes of Vatican II reflect the doctrinal errors of the Council concerning: (1) the unity of the Church; (2) ecumenism; (3) religious liberty and (4) collegiality. The new liturgy is an ecumenical liturgy, and seeks to erase any doctrines which are distinctly Catholic, and to turn the Catholic liturgy into a form of worship which would not be offensive to any Protestant. It is man-centered worship, stripped of all symbolism of the supernatural. The Ordo Missae of Paul VI is an evil liturgical discipline, because: It contains a heretical definition of the Mass; it was composed with the express purpose of making an ecumenical liturgy, pleasing to Protestants, stripped of Catholic truths concerning the priesthood, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist; it was composed with the help and input of six Protestant ministers, which shows the heretical spirit in which it was conceived and formulated; its authors systematically deleted from its prayers and lessons doctrines which would be offensive to heretics; it teaches, both by its omissions and by its symbolism and gestures, heresies and errors concerning the priesthood, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Furthermore, it is most probably invalid owing to a defect of intention which it causes in him who celebrates it, and owing, at least in the vernacular, to a blasphemous alteration of the words of Christ in the consecration formula.
What's wrong with Vatican II?
1. What is wrong with the Second Vatican Council? 2. What doctrines did it teach which were already condemned? There are four major errors concerning: (1) the unity of the Church; (2) ecumenism; (3) religious liberty; (4) collegiality. 3. What false doctrine does it teach concerning the unity of the Church? 4. What false doctrine does it teach concerning ecumenism? The teaching of Vatican II concerning ecumenism, which states that non-Catholic religions are a "means of salvation," is overtly heretical. This doctrine directly contradicts the teaching of the Church that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, called by Pope Pius IX "a most well-know Catholic dogma." In addition, the ecumenical practices which have resulted from this heretical doctrine are directly contrary to Mortalium Animos of Pope Pius XI. 5. What false doctrine does it teach concerning religious liberty? The teaching of Vatican II on religious liberty, contained in Dignitatis Humanae, nearly word for word asserts the very doctrine which was condemned by Pope Pius VII in Post Tam Diuturnas, by Pope Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos, by Pope Pius IX in Quanta Cura, and by Pope Leo XIII in Libertas Praestantissimum. The teaching of Vatican II on religious liberty also contradicts the royalty of Jesus Christ in society as expressed in Quas Primas of Pope Pius XI, and the constant attitude and practice of the Church with regard to civil society. 6. What false doctrine does it teach concerning collegiality? The teaching of Vatican II concerning collegiality alters the monarchical constitution of the Catholic Church, with which she was endowed by the Divine Savior. The doctrine of Vatican II, confirmed by the 1983 Code of Canon Law, which states that the subject (the possessor) of the supreme authority of the Church is the college of bishops together with the pope, is contrary to the defined doctrine of the Council of Florence and of Vatican I. 7. What is wrong with the disciplines which have emanated from Vatican II? The 1983 Code of Canon Law contains the heresy of Vatican II concerning the Church, mentioned above. It also permits sacrilege to the Blessed Sacrament, by approving of its reception by non-Catholics, which is a mortal sin, and permits communicatio in sacris (common public worship) with non-Catholics, which is a mortal sin. In addition, the Ecumenical Directory of 1993 permits ecumenical practices which have always been taught by the Church to be mortally sinful.
8. What does all this mean?
The reformers have substantially altered the three main components of religion: doctrine, worship, and discipline. The result is that the reformers are promoting a religion of ecumenism in place of the Roman Catholic religion, which has always taught that it alone is the one, true Faith, and that all other religions are false. The Vatican II religion teaches doctrines which have been condemned by the Church in the past. It has instituted rites and disciplines which are Protestant in nature. 9. Could it be that you are merely giving a bad interpretation to Vatican II? No. The heretical nature of this council is confirmed by: The doctrinal interpretation given to Vatican II by Paul VI and his successors in their decrees, encyclicals, catechisms, etc.; the series of abominations perpetrated by John Paul II against the First Commandment of God, in the form of ecumenical ceremonies which constitute false worship, even to pagan deities in some cases; the alteration of the Sacred Liturgy in such a way that the Catholic Mass has been replaced by a Protestant supper service; the tampering with the matter and form of the sacraments so that many of them, but most notably the Holy Eucharist and Holy Orders, labor under doubt or invalidity; the promulgation of disciplines, especially the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the Ecumenical Directory, which approve of sacrilege against the Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of Matrimony, and which demonstrate heresies concerning the unity of the Church as their theoretical basis; the scandalous mockery made of the Sacrament of Matrimony by the granting of annulments for spurious reasons, constituting an abandonment of the sacred doctrine of the indissolubility of marriage; the fact that John Paul II is in communion with manifest heretics, has openly declared himself to be in communion with non-Catholic sects, and has recognized an apostolic mission in schismatic and Lutheran bishops, all of which destroys the unity of faith. He has even kissed the Koran, which explicitly denies the Incarnation and the Trinity. He has also publicly prayed that St. John the Baptist protect Islam. What about the Vatican II popes? It says that it is impossible that they be true Catholic popes. 2. Why can they not be true Catholic popes and true Catholic bishops? They cannot be true Catholic popes because it is impossible that the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, which is Christ's authority, give to the universal Church false doctrines, false liturgical practices, and false disciplines. 3. Why cannot the authority of the Roman Catholic Church give to the universal Church false doctrines, false liturgical practices, and false disciplines? Precisely because it is the authority of Christ. The Pope is assisted by the Holy Ghost in the promulgation of dogma and morals, and in the enactment of liturgical laws and pastoral disciplines. In the same way that it is unimaginable that Christ could promulgate these errors or enact these sinful disciplines, so it is unimaginable that the assistance which He gives to the Church through the Holy Ghost could permit such things. Hence, the fact that the Vatican II popes have done these things is a certain sign that they have do not have the authority of Christ. The teachings of Vatican II and the reforms which proceed from it are contrary to the Faith and ruinous of our eternal salvation. But since the Church is both indefectible and infallible, it cannot give to the faithful doctrines, laws, liturgy, and disciplines which are contrary to the Faith and ruinous of our eternal salvation. We must therefore conclude that this Council and these reforms do not proceed from the Church, that is, the Holy Ghost, but from an evil influence within the Church. From this it follows that those who have promulgated this evil Council and these evil reforms have not promulgated them with the authority of the Church, which is the authority of Christ. From this we rightfully conclude that their claim to have this authority is false, despite whatever appearance they may have, even despite an apparently valid election to the papacy. 4. Do we have the authority to say that these Vatican II popes are not true popes? We do not have the authority to legally declare it. But on the other hand, as Catholics, we have the obligation of comparing what is taught by Vatican II with the teaching of the Catholic Church. The virtue of faith demands that we do so, since the faith is supernatural wisdom and consequently demands that everything be in conformity with it. If we did not make this comparison, we would not have the virtue of faith. If we find that the teachings of Vatican II are not in conformity with the teaching of the Catholic Faith, we are bound to reject Vatican II, and bound to conclude that those who promulgate it do not have the authority of Christ. Otherwise our adherence to the error which is contrary to faith would ruin the virtue in us, and we would become heretics. Similarly, if we would entertain the thought that the Catholic Church were capable of promulgating false doctrines and evil worship and discipline, we would be heretics. So privately to conclude that John Paul II is a heretic, indeed an apostate from the Faith, is not to "judge" the pope in the sense that it is meant by canonists and theologians. In fact, if we could not even think of the possibility of the pope being a heretic, then why do so many theologians speak about this possibility, and about the consequences of his being a heretic? 5. But why can't we "sift" what the pope does and says, and accept what is Catholic, and reject what is non-Catholic? Because if John Paul II is the pope, we must obey him. Even to admit the possibility that he can promulgate false doctrines and enact universal disciplines which are evil is itself a heresy against the teaching that the Catholic Church is infallible in these matters. It is inconceivable that, in following the universal teachings of the Church or her universal disciplines, you could be led astray and go to hell. If this were possible, one would have to conclude that the Roman Catholic Church is not the true Church, but a human institution like any other false church. Furthermore, to sift the teachings of the Church is to set yourself up as the pope, for your adherence to these teachings would not be based on the authority of the Church, but rather your own "sifting" of these teachings. 6. But if your father tells you to do something wrong, you must disobey him. But he still remains your father. First of all, being someone's natural father can never change because it is based on physical generation. But being someone's spiritual father can change because it is based on a spiritual generation. Hence a pope could resign and no longer be the spiritual father of Catholics. So the analogy does not apply. But more importantly, this argument which is frequently used by many traditionalists, does not hold water for another reason. If a pope gave to a particular person a particular command which was evil (e.g., to desecrate a crucifix), the argument would apply. For in such a case the pope would not be engaging the whole practice of the Church, and therefore would not involve the indefectibility of the Church. But if he were to make a general law that all Catholics ought to desecrate crucifixes, then the very indefectibility of the Church is at stake. For how could the Church of Christ make such a law? Would it then not be leading all souls to hell? The fact that John Paul II has made general laws which prescribe or even permit evil is a violation of the Church's indefectibility. Hence the Society's argument cannot be applied to the present crisis in the Church. 7. But what if we are not sure if Vatican II is erroneous, and if John Paul II is a true pope or not? In such a doubt you must give the superior the benefit of the doubt. In such a case you would have to embrace all the teachings of Vatican II, the new liturgy, and the new disciplines. You would also be obliged to recognize John Paul II as a true Catholic pope. 8. Isn't the question of John Paul's papacy a mere matter of opinion? Absolutely not. Our eternal salvation depends upon our submission to the Roman Pontiff. Therefore the question of John Paul's papacy is of supreme importance, and we must resolve our consciences about it one way or the other. If we conclude that Vatican II contradicts the teaching of the Church, then we must reject John Paul II as a true pope. If we conclude that Vatican II is not a substantial alteration of the Catholic Faith, then we must accept him as a true pope, and follow what he commands us to do. A Catholic who is indifferent as to whether he is the pope or not is no Catholic at all. Rather he has the spirit of schism and of repudiation of authority. In the Great Western Schism, in which there were three claimants to the papal throne, St. Vincent Ferrer condemned those who were indifferent as to who was the true Pope. 9. Were there any parallel cases in history? The Catholic Patriarch of Constantinople in 428 A.D. espoused the heresy that Our Lady was not the Mother of God. After he preached this from the pulpit, the Catholic people would have nothing to do with him, would not attend his Masses, and said, "We have an Emperor, but no bishop." And this was before he was officially excommunicated by the Church. While this case concerns a bishop and not a pope, the principle is the same: the promulgation of heresy is incompatible with the possession of the authority of Christ over the flock. If it was true for this bishop Nestorius, it is all the more true for him who has the care of the whole flock. 10. Did any Pope ever warn us about a heretic on the throne of Peter? Pope Paul IV in 1559, fearful lest a Protestant be elected to the papal throne, decreed in Cum ex Apostolatus Officio [see Heresy and loss of authority] that if the person elected the Pope should have deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into any heresy, his election shall be considered null, legally invalid, and void. He furthermore decreed that such a person must not be considered the pope, even if he took possession of the office, was enthroned, and received the veneration and obedience of all the faithful.
Do traditionalists defy papal authority? No. Unlike many traditionalist groups, we do not believe one can simultaneously hold that (a) The changes in the Church were bad and (b) The popes who promulgated the changes continued to possess authority from Christ. Both propositions cannot be true. The authority of the Church cannot give evil or error.
But once you acknowledge the obvious - that the Vatican II changes were in fact harmful to souls - only one reasonable explanation remains: the men who promulgated these changes, from John XXIII, Paul VI on down, either lost or lacked true authority to do so. 2. Because the Church is indefectible, her teaching cannot change, and because she is infallible, her laws cannot give evil. 3. It is therefore impossible that the errors and evils officially sanctioned in Vatican II and post-Vatican II teachings and laws could have proceeded from the authority of the Church. 4. Those who promulgate such errors and evils must somehow lack real authority in the Church. 5. Canonists and theologians teach that defection from the faith, once it becomes manifest, brings with it automatic loss of ecclesiastical office (authority). They apply this principle even to a pope who, in his personal capacity, somehow becomes a heretic. (See Heresy and loss of authority.) 6. Even popes have acknowledged the possibility that a heretic could one day end up on the throne of Peter. Paul IV decreed that the election of such a pope would be invalid, and that he would lack all authority. (See Heresy and loss of authority.) 7. Since the Church cannot defect but a pope as an individual can defect (as, a fortiori, can diocesan bishops), the best explanation for the post-Vatican II errors and evils we have catalogued is that they proceeded (proceed) from individuals who, despite their occupation of the Vatican and of various diocesan cathedrals, did (do) not objectively possess canonical authority. Put Another Way.
Heresy and loss of authority Lest it be thought that this principle is a fantasy invented by traditionalist "fanatics," or, at best, just a minority opinion expressed by an obscure Catholic writer or two, we reproduce some texts from popes, saints, canonists and theologians. Lay readers may not be familiar with the names of Coronata, Iragui, Badii, Pr. Wernz, Vidal, Beste, Vermeersch, Creusen, and Regatillo. These priests were internationally recognized authorities in their fields before Vatican II. Our citations are taken from the massive treatises they wrote on canon law and dogmatic theology. Matthaeus Conte a Coronata (1950) "III. Appointment to the office of the Primacy [i.e. papacy]. 1- What is required by divine law for this appointment: (a) The person appointed must be a man who possesses the use of reason, due to the ordination the Primate must receive to possess the power of Holy Orders. This is required for the validity of the appointment. "It cannot be proven however that the Roman Pontiff, as a private teacher, cannot become a heretic - if, for example, he would contumaciously deny a previously defined dogma. Such impeccability was never promised by God. Indeed, Pope Innocent III expressly admits such a case is possible.
"If indeed such a situation would happen, he [the Roman Pontiff] would, by divine law, fall from office without any sentence, indeed, without even a declaratory one. He who openly professes heresy places himself outside the Church, and it is not likely that Christ would preserve the Primacy of His Church in one so unworthy. Wherefore, if the Roman Pontiff were to profess heresy, before any condemnatory sentence (which would be impossible anyway) he would lose his authority." Institutiones Iuris Canonici. Rome: Marietti 1950. 1:312, 316. "Still the less can the Roman Pontiff glory [Minus dico] because he can be judged by men, or rather, can be shown to be already judged, if for example he should wither away into heresy; because he who does not believe is already judged. "In such a case it should be said of him: 'If salt should lose its savor, it is good for nothing but to be cast out and trampled under foot by men'." Sermo 4.
St. Antoninus (1459)
Pope Paul IV (1559) "- Such promotion or election in and of itself, even with the agreement and unanimous consent of all the cardinals, shall be null, legally invalid and void. "- It shall not be possible for such a promotion or election to be deemed valid or to be valid, neither through reception of office, consecration, subsequent administration, or possession, nor even through the putative enthronement of a Roman Pontiff himself, together with the veneration and obedience accorded him by all. "- Such promotion or election, shall not through any lapse of time in the foregoing situation, be considered even partially legitimate in any way.. "- Each and all of the words, as acts, laws, appointments of those so promoted or elected - and indeed, whatsoever flows therefrom - shall be lacking in force, and shall grant no stability and legal power to anyone whatsoever. "- Those so promoted or elected, by that very fact and without the need to make any further declaration, shall be deprived of any dignity, position, honor, title, authority, office and power." Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio. 16 February 1559. St. Robert Bellarmine (1610) "A pope who is a manifest heretic automatically (per se) ceases to be pope and head, just as he ceases automatically to be a Christian and a member of the Church. Wherefore, he can be judged and punished by the Church. This is the teaching of all the ancient Fathers who teach that manifest heretics immediately lose all jurisdiction." De Romano Pontifice. II.30. St. Alphonsus Liguori (1787)
Vatican I (1869), Serapius Iragui (1959) "Barred as incapable of being validly elected are the following: women, children who have not reached the age of reason, those suffering from habitual insanity, the unbaptized, heretics and schismatics..
"Cessation of pontifical power. This power ceases:. (d) Through notorious and openly divulged heresy. A publicly heretical pope would no longer be a member of the Church; for this reason, he could no longer be its head." Institutiones Iuris Canonici. Florence: Fiorentina 1921. 160, 165. His emphasis. F.X. Wernz, P. Vidal (1943)

We can find no example of this in history." Introductio in Codicem. 3rd ed. Collegeville: St. John's Abbey Press 1946. Canon 221.
A. Vermeersch, I. Creusen (1949) "At least according to the more common teaching, the Roman Pontiff as a private teacher can fall into manifest heresy. Then, without any declaratory sentence (for the supreme See is judged by no one), he would automatically [ipso facto] fall from a power which he who is no longer a member of the Church is unable to possess."
