If it is fake, I apologize but I think it's legit

From what Lad said weeks ago here on Cathinfo, I figured it was true but this seems to be the public confirmation. At least I hope so.

I'm not sure what a "Bishop of the Resistance" is, since there's no formal group.  I think that Father Chazal listed the criteria that would qualify someone to be part of the Resistance, so it's more of a standard than membership in some group, society, or formal organization.

Interesting that it comes from "Flat Trads", since Sean always used to insult me for my "Flat Earth" position. 

God bless Archbishop Vigano.  Ad Multos Annos

Since Vigano was made a priest in 1968 I assume this he is a valid priest to begin with. Overall this is good news. I am still keeping my eyes open however.

Has he made a public abjuration of error for his public heresies and apostasy such as these?

He says:

ARCHBISHOP VIGANÒ OMITS FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AND THE CHURCH IN LETTER TO RABBI
(from the comments)
Vigano not only failed to mention Christ, the true Jєωιѕн Messiah but falsely stated that Israel is NOT looking for an anti-Christ, when it is exactly what Israel is looking for!

Or here:

ABVigano to Jєωs, Protestants, Catholics and whatnot at the Zionist

ʝʊdɛօ-Christian Jericho Rally:

“We are the silent army of the children of Light

As a community of believers, we take our petitions to heaven, and we know that our mighty and powerful God answers and can move mountains."

Believers in what exactly?  What did the crowd of Jєωs and New Agers and Protestants and whatnot there believe in? 

Did they share the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Faith?  No.

They all believed in Trump.

From Novus Ordo Watch:
By speaking in the first person plural — “we” — he is making clear that he considers himself one of them and one with them. This is only consistent with the nature and purpose of the event, which the organizers had announced would be “comprised of ʝʊdɛօ-Christians collectively praying to God"


See the whole post for details about his heresies and apostasy committed at that event:

Here is a flyer from the event.  It's a clear contradiction of the quotes from councils, saints and popes.


It makes it clear that it is promoting the ʝʊdɛօ-Christian faith and communal prayer. 










What does the Church say?

The Council of Laodicea in 365 AD stated, “No one shall pray in common with heretics and schismatics.”

St. Cyril of Alexandria echoed these same sentiments when he said, “It is therefore unlawful, and a profanation, and an act the punishment of which is death, to love to associate with unholy heretics, and to unite yourself to their communion.”

Council of Carthage in the fifth century decreed, “One must neither pray nor sing psalms with heretics, and whoever shall communicate with those who are cut off from the communion of the Church, whether clergy or layman: let him be excommunicated.”


St. Thomas Aquinas, said, “To know whom to avoid is a great means of saving our souls…Thus, the Church forbids the faithful to communicate with those unbelievers who have forsaken the faith by corrupting it, such as heretics, or by renouncing it, such as apostates.”


They presuppose the erroneous view that all religions are more or less good and praiseworthy, inasmuch as all give expression, under various forms, to that innate sense which leads men to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule… to favor this opinion, therefore, and to encourage such undertakings, is tantamount to abandoning the religion revealed by God.”

Let us focus attention on the phrase “tantamount to abandoning the religion revealed by God.” This phrase is another definition of the word “apostasy.” According to Pope Pius XI, to hold to false ecuмenism and to encourage it, is equivalent to apostasy.

Since Vigano is very close friends with Chabadnik, Rabbi Schneier, he would probably know that the blowing of Shofars means calling forth the anti-christ:


"Blowing the shofar speaks to us of the coming of the Moshiach (AC) and the great good toward which the world is moving."

By Rabbi Nochum Mangel, Chabad

Aren't public heretics/apostates barred from taking office?




Bull of Pope Paul IV — cuм Ex Apostolatus Officio, 1559

“Further, if ever it should appear that any bishop (even one acting as an archbishop, patriarch or primate), or a cardinal of the Roman Church, or a legate (as mentioned above), or even the Roman Pontiff (whether prior to his promotion to cardinal, or prior to his election as Roman Pontiff), has beforehand deviated from the Catholic faith or fallen into any heresy, We enact, decree, determine and define:
— “Such promotion or election in and of itself, even with the agreement and unanimous consent of all the cardinals, shall be null, legally invalid and void.
— “It shall not be possible for such a promotion or election to be deemed valid or to be valid, neither through reception of office, consecration, subsequent administration, or possession, nor even through the putative enthronement of a Roman Pontiff himself, together with the veneration and obedience accorded him by all.
— “Such promotion or election, shall not through any lapse of tune in the foregoing situation, be considered even partially legitimate in any way . . .
— “Each and all of the words, as acts, laws, appointments of those so promoted or elected —and indeed, whatsoever flows therefrom — shall be lacking in force, and shall grant no stability and legal power to anyone whatsoever.
— “Those so promoted or elected, by that very fact and without the need to make any further declaration, shall be deprived of any dignity, position, honor, title, authority, office and power.”

I hope Lad and others are able to address these grave concerns and the evidence provided rather than derailing the conversation with ad hominems and misdirection.

Has he made a public abjuration of error for his public heresies and apostasy such as these?

Oh, get lost.  No Traditional group requires public abjuration for those coming to Traditional Catholicism from the Conciliar Church.  Cf. the explanation of Bishop Sanborn for why, and his criticism of SGG for also not requiring one (despite considering the Conciliar Church to be a non-Catholic sect).  But you know better than every Traditional Bishop and priest out there, right?

Well, assuming it's true about Bishop Williamson conditionally consecrating him a true bishop, then given Bishop Williamson's views, I would think he would have "vetted" him before doing so.  I would think any Catholic bishop would make sure that the consecrand (?) is truly worthy of the orders. Perhaps that will come out too when it truly goes "public".

As I mentioned, no Traditional group requires public abjuration from those coming over from the Conciliar Church, not even a couple that outright consider the Conciliar Church to be a non-Catholic sect simpliciter.  Bishop Sanborn has articulated his reasons why ... but Miser always knows better.  "Public", as defined by theologians is something that's no longer confined to an individual but is in a position to become widely known.  There's no definition of "Public" that requires a formal announcement on someone's blog.  Bishops Williamson and Faure, and Father Chazal, have all told individuals about the conditional consecration.  That qualifies as "public" under any theological definition of the term.
