So, my wife was listening to Barnhardt's last podcast, and I would catch parts of it here or there, and her hubris and narcissism are quite striking. No wonder she spends so much time ranting about narcissism. Not only does she posture as having knowledge of Catholic theology and Canon Law ... of which she is entirely bereft, but if anyone ever disagrees with her, even on the slightest point or tiny detail, she ruthlessly excoriates them, and also spread various slanders based on anonymous sources that she accepts as being completely factual. She slurs them by questioning their masculinity (a quality which Ann Barnhardt has much of). Then she has the temerity to accuse them of being mean and nasty ... when her own nastiness against others remains unrivalled (see post cited below from Brother Bugnolo).
She was completely ripping on the "1958 sedevacantists", calling them like тαℓмυdic Jews because "they're in and everyone else is out". That's utter hogwash, and a slanderous strawman. No, Ann, they think they're right while you're wrong, just as YOU think you're right (and have THE answer) and they're wrong.
Barnhardt wouldn't last 5 minutes in an actual debate against sedevacantists ... or anyone else really. So she just has her yes-man peanut gallery on there patting her on the back and nodding in agreement with every point she makes, no matter how stupid ... and, trust me, the majority of her comments are downright stupid, if not at times slanderous. She's a total hot mess where it comes to Catholic theology and Canon Law, and yet postures as some kind of Doctress of the Church.
At one point she was ripping on Brother Bugnolo (also a Bennyvacantist) ruthlessly, and so I told my wife, I bet it's because Brother Bugnolo distanced himself from Barnhardt. No sooner did I say this than my wife found this with a Google search on "Bugnolo Barnhardt".
https://www.fromrome.info/2022/06/21/br-bugnolo-i-want-to-distance-myself-entirely-from-ann-barnhardts-horrendus-modus-operandi-which-poses-as-catholic/Here is Brother Bugnolo's distancing from Ann Barnhardt, the exact word I had used in my speculation against Barnhardt. I happen to agree with every word of this (except his theories about Ratzinger having been the pope). People need to stop supporting Barnhardt, and she needs to be completely silenced.
Oh, before I quote Brother Bugnolo, I have to point out the hubris of coming up with her own replacement for "A.D." or "Anno Domini" for dating. She uses this ridiculous "ARSH". See, the expression "Anno Domini" which has been used throughout Church history, by Fathers, all the Doctors, all the theologians, all Catholics, which appears in every single papal docuмent or decree or publication from the Holy See and every bishop in the world, and was good enough for them ... it is not good enough for the Narcissist Ann Barnhardt, so she has to improve upon it. Reminds me of Wojtyla's improvement upon the Holy Rosary.
So here's Brother Bugnolo --
I used to admire Ann Barnhardt a great deal, for her cold logic. But as the years have passed, I realized that there was a lot more coldness than logic. Barnhardt showed this the other day with her vicious personal attack on Andrea Cionci, who has ever been the perfect gentleman calling her to give her reasons why she thinks Benedict XVI is the infallible pope but in total error, so obvious that Ann Barnhardt alone, without any knowledge of what is going on in the Vatican, and with no knowledge at all of Pope Benedict XVI’s statements in German — a language which she cannot even read — can see it, and she alone.
I am reminded of the Lollards of medieval England who hated us religious for taking vows and believed that the Catholic notion of just war was bunk. That is, some people pretend to be Catholic, but really advance their own prejudices.
I am also reminded of the words of Ann Barnhardt that those who support Bergoglio cannot respond to the data-set. And I wonder what she sees in the morning when she looks into the mirror of her soul…
Cionci has gathered together a huge data set, which shows that Benedict XVI knows he is the only pope, that he knows there are not two legitimate popes. Barnhardt insists that he, Pope Benedict XVI, believes there are two legitimate popes.
To respond to Cionci’s invitations and open letters by insulting his masculinity is the sign of a true feminist and a fake Catholic. It is also the most vile form of ad hominem from a woman who cannot face the data-set, let alone rationally respond to the evidence that her accusation against the person of the Roman Pontiff is made entirely of the straw of her own prejudice. And evidently it is a deeply seated prejudice against Catholic men.
Ann, you have to recognize some day, that you are not the infallible Popess of the Catholic Church and that if you did convert to our Holy Religion it was not at all valid unless you recognized that you were in error, rather than that you were being enthroned as our Oracle of Truth. — Unless you recognized that you were in error, and thus, that you can err. The grace of being a Catholic does not wipe away that possibility, of being in error.
I therefore wish to publicly distance myself from Barnhardt’s vile comments and perverse spirit of mind, which no Catholic who is honest could ever tolerate. And I call upon Catholics everywhere to publicly remonstrate and denounce her for it.
