BrAlexisBubnolo, I remain troubled by your writings and taken as a whole they are far from being irreproachable; you are religious and the Pope is your Bishop; and you admit to having “speculated” about the narrative; you will have to do better than to relate a speculative narrative to proof; as a reporter you have a higher standard than that, and as a religious you must adhere to even higher standards, and since it is the Pope who is harmed by your writings, you cannot err; bring plenty of solid proof and witnesses, otherwise your report seems nothing more than a mere sham!

From my view your writings injure yourself, for it is not wholly truth or even upright and there is also a certain duplicity about it; even if your writings were only intended as a joke! Perhaps you will consider making a public apology to the Holy Father and make amends to all God fearing Catholics.

“He hath opened a pit and dug it, and he is fallen into the hole he made” (Ps. 7:16).

Veritatem in Caritate

Gregory, the Pope Himself has confirmed that Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor headed the campaign; Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor is our source for that. The denial given by Fr. Lombardi and Dr. Ivereigh's response indicate that his narrative does accuse Cardinals of violations of UDG. I am just a reporter asking questions. I only follow the truth, and my speculations thus far have been confirmed by Fr. Lombard's denials, because I speculated what Ivereigh's narrative signified, I have said nothing about whether Ivereigh told the truth nor have I denied that Lombardi did. Your reaction therefore is very uncharitable and based obviously on the fact that you have not read carefully what I have posted, nor the Chronology of reports by many other journalists on the Team Bergoglio affair.

For that reason I ask a public apology for your insinuations, insults and false incriminations.

BrAlexisBugnolo, I am inexpressibly unimpressed by your opine; clearly, you are no canonist. Your flagellation of the Pope seems to be nothing more than your tendency to undermine the Papacy. Being religious, you should be treating all with equal kindness, especially your superior, Pope Francis? He is your Bishop if you study Sacred Theology in Rome; and you do so at the Popes allowance. Even in the secular world when one tries to undermine his superior he can expect a severe judgment. Even God, Who is omniscient, did not condemn Adam until He proved to him his guilt. You are lacking proof, no interviews, no canonist! What would Blessed Tomas More think of your work? Surely, not praiseworthy!

@BrAlexisBugnolo, Grace and Blessings, Nothing can take away from the dignity attaching to the office of the Vicar of Christ, not even ungodly articles that mock the Holy Father and the Church. Your article admits that there seems no way to prove the allegations it makes. Your judgment to publish it is disappointing, more secular, introducing more deception; yet, sadly, it is not unexpected. Religious should be taking a dogmatic approach to their faith; not a practical and non dogmatic approach.

Would St. Franis of Assisi, to whom Our Lord appeared upon the cross, publish far and wide such a deceptive article? Would an honest and trustworthy man publish such a deceptive article? Your conduct seems in variance with the practice and observance of St. Francis!

@UNWORTHY

I hope you have a Blessed Day, being the Great day of Our Lady. The Immaculate Conception.
I will remember you in my prayers at Holy Mass today.

Many Catholics today have a heavy heart. You are not alone in these struggles.

Stay close to the Sacraments, and our Blessed Mother.
Remember : This too will pass.

I will look for you up here.

Be at Peace
UNWORTHY

Thanks Rhemes, I know were your heart is and I respect that...

I grew up in the charismatic movement, I was a novus ordo chorus guitar player, I have walked the poor of the poor street and I went to the passionist seminary to become a priest, thank God Im not out of the wrong i saw there, but all was just smoke in my past...

I have never in my life, never knew how beautiful catholicism is, such a beauty that I can only look back and truly say, all was just smoke and mirrors... thank be to God that He has shown Mercy to me and have open my eyes to the latin mass...

I wish that I would've been raise according to the old rite, I envy how things that could've nurture my soul if they would've been there for me from the beginning, I guess that I would've been better, with more love for the Lord.

My only wish is to love the Lord, so much, so much that I could die with a smile for Him, His Gospel and the one true faith... the old rite was denied to me, the true catechism was denied but even though I loved Paul VI, JPII, Benedict and I'm trying to love this man who is my enemy, Francis...

Francis is persecuting and demolishing what I want love what I need to embrace, I have told my family that I just can't go back to the novus ordo, I can't embrace liberalism anymore since there's a mentality today that proclaims "God understands and is merciful" which is not the entire truth "Gid is also Hoky and Just" as been taken out in the form of respect and false mercy, which, is demolishing the church, that is what Francis has cemented with his "boasting of sin" since day 1, all through, his bad fruits.

I don't care about the world anymore, to me life is Jesus and poor of me if I don't proclaim the Gospel, this man doesn't accept fratenal correction in any form, and today the numbers are there, Francis is popular, but the church is becoming small.

Hypocrisy is the name of the game, pentecostals are brothers, the Russian orthodox are brothers, the jews and muslims are brothers, but we are legalists and sedevacantists... I see how "closed minded" he calls traditionalism but how the Quran is "profetic" and how their traditions are worthy of following.

I can't go against what I have, I can't roll with the flow, I can't accept liberalism, and by me not telling it like it is, is a sin more dangerous than not obeying this liberal pope, who by being liberal alone, is not pope anymore, Benedict still has power and I subject myself to him even if he doesn't want the job anymore, even if he is a prisoner of the circumstances.

Many Blessings Rhemes, I know how you feel and is ok, just don't ever buy that "we all go to heaven" borderline heresy and cling to the rosary, this are times of darkness in which spiritual relaxation (as the unprepared virgins) is what the world wants, blessings.

@rhemes1582,Being Catholic I am under the obligation to defend the Church; and being the miserable sinner that I am, I cannot help but point out how superficial and pseudo your judgment remains. Just ask yourself, who is more blameworthy, UNWORTHY, for his calumny at the Vicar of Christ, or you, for lending your ear and being an advocate to his merciless, incessant attacks at the Holy Father. Your commentary and his commentary reflects the repute in which you hold Pope Francis.

Your apology is unquestionably reprehensible; you blame and betray your friend, as he praises you; what a shameful thing to do; and you decry me and make a dishonest speculation of Dr. Stuart Reiss. As much as I would like to hold a high esteem for you, I must say that at present it will be very difficult; for calumny is almost impossible for the proud to make amends for; it requires no slight self humiliation.

Veritatem in Caritate

@UNWORTHY
Thank you for the kind words you offered on my behalf, in this thread.
Unfortunately Dr. Stuart.Reiss. cannot leave well enough alone, and needs too keep poking.

Unworthy my name can be placed next to yours, with many concerns you express. But Your words are not mine, and Gregory was trying very hard to do that.

I have said before that I know you Love the Bride of Christ. I meant it...
I still do not agree with the silent routine shared by the other 2 posters.
I was wrong to enter this thread on your behalf , considering some of your latest
posts about Resisting the Pope, and AntiPope , and some of the more recent articles you have posted.
I do not agree with them, as you already know

UNWORTHY : You are a gentlemen.
I wanted to write this publicly to you, so that the harsh words of Dr. S. R. do not cause you much pain, as are their intent.
I desired to correct my error here, with an apology to the other 2 posters. I did not know that it would be used to hurt you.

Please mention me in your prayers.

In Christ the King

@UNWORTHY, would not admonishment rather than praise be a more fitting expectation for @rhemes1582 if you were to place yourself in the presence of Christ, Our Lord. An isolated act would prove nothing, but your attacks at the Vicar of Christ prove to be habitual, permanent! It now rest with you and rhemes1582 to correct yourselves, and to see to it that the Eight Commandment of Christ and the respect due to the Vicar of Christ does not go neglected or that you do not carry it out superficially on this prestigious Catholic forum.

Rhemes has something you two bozos don't have, Jesus has given Him the grace to be a gentleman, the most amazing Gentleman ever was my Lord Jesus and seeing how he (Rhemes) behaves around catholics is refreshing, but what you know about that, I take both of you in a blender and not 0.1% of a gentleness could be had.

This is the last time I'm adressing you bozos... go and bark to another tree.

What Catholic could ignore the foolish nonstop barrage at the Vicar of Christ coming from @rhemes1582 and @UNWORTHY? What Catholic could publish far and wide all sorts of allegations, ridicule, and smears at the Holy Father? Are Catholics to stand by unmoved and silent by brazen attacks and calumny against the Vicar of Christ? I think not; and pray it and they be repulsed and withstood.
