Fake Cardinal

    • Does anyone recall the name of the fake Cardinal (I believe he was a part-time college professor who claimed also to be a cardinal, and had his own website.  His story once made the rounds here in CI 5-6 years ago)?

    No.  I know who he's thinking of, but the name escapes me at the moment.  That guy is a real clown.

    • Rutherford Johnson, if I recall correctly. Or something like that.

    Yeah, that's the guy.  Looks like he's been promoted to Pope now ...

    I was hoping to find his website advertising himself as a Cardinal (which seems to have disappeared, perhaps after declaring himself pope of a non-existent church).

    • And here's the Pope with his wife:



    Yet, I have to wonder who would do a better job as Pope, this insane, delusional nutjob, or Francis?

    • Looks like he's claiming to have usurped just about every Apostolic See:

    Quote
    His Holiness Bishop Rutherford I Ralphovich of Rome-Ruthenia is the Papa-Catholicos of the Catholicate of Rome-Ruthenia and Supreme Pontiff of the United Roman-Ruthenian Church. He is an accomplished leader, educator, and clergyman with more than a quarter-century of international diplomatic and executive experience. Bishop Rutherford focuses on empowering others to build transformational collaborations while improving the quality of lives. He is 266th in succession from St. Peter the Apostle as Prince of the Romans, 74th Grand Duke of Ruthenia, 142nd in Gallican-Antioch succession from St. Peter, 169th in Greco-Russian succession from St. Andrew the First-Called, 145th in Armenian succession from Saints Thaddeus and Bartholomew, and 116th in Syrian-Antioch succession from St. Thomas the Apostle.

    Now, his claim to be the 266th Pope is interesting, as that's Jorge's alleged number.  So he must consider Jorge an Antipope?

    He wasn't content with being a Cardinal, evidently, so I'm guessing that in light of the Bennyvacantist controversy, he jumped on the bandwagon and usurped the "papacy".

    Go down to the very bottom of his website, and click on the "Disclaimer an Legal Notices" link, and hang onto your hat.

    Most schizophrenic delusions are intricate, but this guy is a Rembrandt.

    LOL ... and that link tries to imitate the vatican.va background "wallpaper" ... an antiquated wallpaper style that I think I used on a website in 1998.

    • Looks like he's also part of the "House of Johnson" :laugh1:

    Guys definitely likes to play dress-up.  I've seen about 15 different "outfits" that he wears, none of which are the least bit consistent with one another.
