Well said, Mr Ferrara, well said!
From The Stumbling Block
In a recent Ann Barnhardt podcast, she asserts
that Chris Ferrara, the Fatima Center scholar and attorney, told her
that he and many other faithful Catholic pundits secretly agree that
Benedict XVI did not make a legal abdication of the papacy. The
Catholic Monitor highlights her statement here.
In a note to Canon212, Ferrara responds to Ann:
I don’t know who “Chris Ferrera” is, but I, Chris Ferrara, never
said anything of the kind. If I said anything it would be something
like “You can certainly make that argument, but we have no competence to
judge the matter.” As I said on Taylor Marshall’s show, a future Pope
or Council might determine that the last conclave was invalid, but that
is a matter for the Church, not any Tom, Dick or Ann to determine.
Furthermore, the only time I have ever spoken face-to-face with
Ann Barnhardt, at least that I can remember, was at Lake Garda, and the
entire conversation involved my objection to her claim that the “data
set” shows Bergoglio is not the Pope. We have no competence to assemble
“data sets” and declare that the Chair of Peter is vacant.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
