The current pope is as legit as the Obunghole was.

[TheThirdRuffian]

I’ve heard mild “possible anti-pope” rumblings from a traditionalist bishop (retired).

So the idea is out there.

Cardinal Burke is not the only person who questions the legitimacy of this man.

[BuffaloJack]

The Pope is the Anti Christ.
The old joke answer for “Yes” was always “is the Pope Catholic?”
I don’t think that applies anymore.

[ADSUM]

Follow Christ.

Love the sinner. Hate the sin.

Hey Mike!

Which of Cdl. Burke's concerns do you disagree with?

Don't accuse him of assigning a label to the Pope when he has simply expressed concern with comments and positions that stray from Catholic Doctrine and are never clarified or retracted.

[Alas Babylon!]

I'm not a cardinal; just an American Catholic (not Roman).

Yes, Bergoglio is the anti-pope.

Raised a Communist, and still one after all these years.

Steeped in Marxism and Liberation Theology, hates American ideals of freedom and personal liberty, subscribes to anthromophorbic global warming, and defender of sexual abusers of little children.

Jesus said:

Luke 17:2 It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.

[Antoninus]

I think it’s a possibility, given that Benedict XVI is still alive and the circumstances behind his resignation are hazy. God only knows at this point.

[Dr. Sivana]

stating his religious submission of intellect and will to the magisterial teachings of the Holy Father.

He hasn't made one yet. He is constantly speaking in vague, general terms. The only thing he does that is explicit is punish good Catholics who are faithful to unchanging doctrine and Catholic Tradition.

[buwaya]

Francis election was probably purchased by German finance.
Given that so much of the Vatican’s money comes through forced tithes from Germany.

[RPTMS]

I wouldn’t blame him if he did.

[NorthMountain]

Benedict.

[RPTMS]

A little off topic: If Francis is an antipope, how does that effect the validity of the next conclave, which will certainly have Cardinals appointed by him?

[bgill]

The guy sitting in the Vatican is a false pope.

[Campion]

Post here Mike Lewis' objections to the theologians who rejected and continue to reject Humanae Vitae: []. That's right, there aren't any.

The usual hypocrisy of the left: their questioning, disobedience, and rebellion are highly principled acts and must be respected. Once they achieve power, questioning, disobedience, or rebellion of any kind are ruthlessly suppressed.
