Does Bishop Williamson Endorse the Cardinal Siris Thesis?

    • Bishop Williamson appears to agree with the Cardinal Thesis narrative, as seen in the short clip below. I always thought the theory to be possible.

    What, then, are the implications of Canon 185 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law? I am not a sedevacantist, but the invalidity of a papal resignation under duress is a serious matter.

    Canon 185 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law states:
    "Renuntiatio ex metu gravi et iniuste incusso, dolo, vel errore substantiali facta, ipso iure irrita est."

    Translation: "A resignation made out of grave and unjust fear, deceit, or substantial error is by the law itself invalid."

    This canon asserts that if a resignation is made under grave and unjust fear, it is automatically invalid by the law itself. This would apply directly to a papal resignation, ensuring that such a resignation would not be considered valid if it were made under threats or coercion.

    .

    All he said was that it's possible, not that he agrees with it.

    • Matthew posted a fascinating refutation of the Siri thesis about a year ago. I used to think the idea had some plausibility before I read that study by Silvio Mattachione, but ever since reading that I think the whole thing is nothing more than a creepypasta. It takes a while to read through the guy's study, and he's not as concise as he could be, but he systematically refutes all the arguments that have been put forward to promote the Siri thesis.
