b. Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ/heresy before election.
c. Siri thesis; invalid resignation
d. All of the above
My opinion is D. God has allowed this crisis for a variety of reasons but He’s not some monster who plays “gotcha” with us poor creatures. God, in His infinite Mercy, wants us to find Truth. There’s a variety of ways to arrive at the same conclusion.
Just as there are a variety of ways to arrive at the conclusion that V2 and the new mass are wrong. The splintered nature of Traditionalism (including the indult) proves this. Blessed be God!
Yeah, there are two high-level theories in terms of who these V2 popes are ....
1) Just some run of the mill Modernists with messed-up and confused minds.
2) Deliberate, conscious infiltrators and Masonic/Communist agents whose mission it is to destroy the Church.
I believe that some otherwise sincere Modernist would be converted by God if legitimately elected to the papacy, similar to what happened to Pope Pius IX.
Masons have been talking about how they intended to subvert the papacy for well over a hundred years, and then we have this part of the longer Pope Leo XIII Exorcism prayer after he had seen the vision of the dialog between Our Lord and Satan:
These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.
Why is this in the past tense? It's almost as if he's writing from where he's seeing this unfold in a vision. In either case, Leo XIII reinforces the notion that there's deliberate plan, an "iniquitous design" to strike the Papacy in order to scatter the sheep. In one version of the Leo XIII vision, God gave Satan 75 years of heightened control. Roncalli was elected in 1958, so 75 years there would be 2033. To me that fits with the timeline.
June 13, 1929 -- Our Lady requests consecration of Russia
June 13, 2029 -- ???
2033 -- restoration of the Church
It's similar to the Kings of France, and Our Lord likened this delay to that of the Kings of France, where exactly 100 years to the day after the requested that they consecrate France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the King of France was dethroned by the revolutionaries, and then 3.5 years later, he was executed. Their failure to consecrate France led to the French Revolution, just as the failure of the 20th-century Popes to consecrate Russia led to the "French Revolution in the Church" (even Ratzinger made that comparison). Just as the French had their liberte, egalite, fraternite, so we have Religious Liberty (liberte), Collegiality and Priesthood of the Faithful (egalite), and communion with our "separated brethren" ("fraternite"). V2 embodied the same principles as the Masonic French Revolution, the principles of Masonry.
What was Russia's involvement in all this? We had Bella Dodd state that she herself had personally placed dozens of men who were Commie infiltrators into US seminaries. Worldwide, we're talking about an infiltration that led to dozens of Commie agent bishops and Cardinals. Roncalli was bosom buddies with the Commies, and was like a Commie/Masonic agent. Also, Our Lady spoke about the "errors of Russia", not just Russia. Russia was founded by the Jews upon their Commie/Masonic/atheist platform, and it's these very errors that the Russians then used their political power and their intelligence apparatus (KGB, etc.) to infiltrate and subvert the Church. Our Lady wasn't speaking just about Communism, but about the larger Masonic/Judaic system.
It's certain that most of the Catholic Bishops in the Eastern Bloc were Commie agents.
But this crisis was NOT, IMO, just the natural result of a deterioration of faith and the spread of Modernism. I have moral certainly that this was a deliberate subversion by the enemies of the Church.
