I have often wondered whether he believed Benedict was pope when reading his writings.  More often than not, he would refer to Benedict as Benedict, but Francis as Bergoglio.  That is why I wonder what he will say.

He did muse at one point that it was possible that Benedict was still the pope, and that it should be investigated.  If I recall, he was more focused on the St. Gallen mafia situation than the resignation, which would disqualify Bergoglio but not make Ratzinger pope.

I do think +Vigano has a special animosity against Bergoglio, but I don't believe he's the type that would let those emotions dictate his theological position, as seems to be the case with most Bennyvacantists.

As I said, he's consistently traced the rot back to Vatican II and the NOM, and even if he concludes that Ratzinger was pope until he died, this wouldn't be for him a "solution" to the larger crisis.

About a year ago, TIA’s Atila Guimaraes, noticing the severe nature of Msgr. Vigano’s Vatican critiques, thought his writings included a sede-vacantist tone.

Atila then published an open letter to the Archbishop specifically asking him if he believed the Seat was empty?

Interestingly, Atila never received a reply? 

BTW, Mr Guimaraes spent a good portion of his life researching the docuмents of Vatican II and he is an avid student of the secret society known as Opus Dei.

Yeah, so did a lot of people. Vigano's writings seem to be a bit of a Rorschach test. Everyone seems to find whatever they want in them. :laugh1:

Yes!

Some see what they call the “truth”… some hear +ABL and for others, they smell Opus judei.
