A CALL FOR TRADITION
Catholic bishops and faithful of the United States,
on December 18, 2023, the day the apostate declaration Fiducia Supplicans was issued, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops committed a grave crime against the faithful Catholic bishops and against all Catholics in the United States. Without allowing the bishops to decide freely, the USCCB organization published, on their behalf and without their personal consent, the acceptance of a new teaching containing the sodomite anti-gospel. This teaching denies the existence of the grave sin of sodomy. In doing so, it also denies the entire Ten Commandments – that is, God’s law – as well as Christ’s commandments concerning the moral sphere. Rather than calling for repentance, the new pseudo-doctrine of the heretical declaration Fiducia Supplicans blesses the sin of sodomy, which cries out to heaven.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God and our Savior, died on the cross for our sins. All who believe in Him and repent will be saved. Those who refuse to repent will be condemned (cf. Lk 13:3). Through Fiducia Supplicans, the sin of sodomy has been legalized. Jesus Christ died for our sins. However, if sin is denied, then according to Fiducia Supplicans, Christ died in vain! Thus, the so-called dogmatic declaration Fiducia Supplicans essentially rejects Christ as Savior.
In this way, Fiducia Supplicans rejects the essence of salvation and Christianity itself. This crime against Christ and the Church is not subject to any statute of limitations. Time plays no role here. The bishops of the United States have not done adequate penance for this crime. By accepting Fiducia Supplicans, they have approved this apostasy. Through their silence, they are reinforcing it, allowing it to spread further among the faithful. The bishops were drawn into this rebellion against God by a treacherous bishops’ conference. This serves as a mitigating circumstance for the individual bishops to a certain extent. The consequence of this crime is that God’s curse rests not only on the bishops of the United States, but on all Catholics as well.
This curse has terrible consequences for the life of all of America. It is God’s anathema – exclusion from the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church. If a bishop in the United States dies without repenting, he will be eternally damned. Christ’s words apply here: “Cast the lazy and wicked servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (cf. Mt 25,30)
If some cardinals and bishops claim that Fiducia Supplicans is merely a blessing for individuals and not a blessing for couples, Bishop Martin of Malawi responded to this immediately after the publication of Fiducia Supplicans. He said:
“Dear faithful, the document asks us to bless two people of the same sex as individuals, but not as a couple. So these two people of the same sex who the previous night slept together as a couple and present themselves to us as a couple are blessed as individuals, but they leave our presence as a couple... How could this not be changing the authentic teaching of the Church? ... Some have said that we should not be ideologically rigid in our faith and in our pastoral work and in teaching of our faith. Instead we are being told and encouraged to allow our doctrine of the faith to change alongside ideological changes taking place in the world, social and political changes taking place in the world, so that the Church might be modern. … To all these accusations, our response is clear: Please keep your lies for yourself. You must judge for yourself, whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to such advice, ill advice, and to obey you rather than God… Our response is that we are not idiots. We know your ultimate goal, which I will not mention here; but we are not accepting this declaration.”
Dear successors of the apostles and bishops of the United States, by remaining silent and thus endorsing Fiducia Supplicans, you are betraying Christ. The apostle Peter committed a similar betrayal, and the apostle Judas an even worse one. Follow Peter’s example of repentance, not Judas’s unrepentance. Withdraw from the Judas-like Bishops’ Conference and retroactively reject the suicidal declaration Fiducia Supplicans. Do not let yourselves be made fools of, as Bishop Martin put it, and do not make fools of American Catholics either!

BCP: Was Francis Bergoglio
a public heretic or not?
Part 1
Was Francis Bergoglio a public heretic or not? The following evidence supports the claim that Francis Bergoglio was a public heretic:
1) The heresies in the document Amoris Laetitia, to which four cardinals responded with their ‘dubia’, followed by the ‘correction’ from Catholic intellectuals.
2) The document Ad Theologiam Promovendam dated November 1, 2023. In it, Bergoglio denied the essence of Catholic doctrine – that is, the entire Holy Scripture and Tradition. He stated: “All that I have decreed in this Apostolic Letter motu proprio given, I order to have stable and lasting force, notwithstanding anything to the contrary. ... Theological reflection is called ... to a paradigm shift.” This heresy introduces a destructive principle that undermines the fundamental truths of the faith – the pillars of our salvation! It leads to the self-destruction of Christianity!
3) The doctrinal declaration Fiducia Supplicans (December 18, 2023). By introducing the blessing of sodomites, Bergoglio denied the moral laws of the Decalogue as well as Christ’s commandments and, in essence, sin itself. As a result, the very essence of the Creed – that Christ died for our sins – is also undermined.
However, Bergoglio did not limit himself to theoretical formulations. He demonstrated the practical application of his sodomite pseudo-gospel in his synodal journey. Thus, he proclaimed a new orthodoxy and a new orthopraxy.
An example of this new orthopraxy was his personal participation in a pagan ritual in the Vatican Gardens connected with the enthronement of the Pachamama demon in St. Peter’s Basilica (2019).
He also personally and actively participated in an initiation ritual led by a sorcerer in Canada in 2022. During the ceremony, he publicly consecrated himself to Satan. Meanwhile, the sorcerer whistled on a wild turkey bone and loudly summoned demons. He publicly called on those present to make a consecration gesture of accepting Satan by placing their hand on their heart. Bergoglio obediently performed this act in front of cameras.
However, American bishops – and therefore Catholics as well – do not see, nor do they want to see, the heresies in papal documents or these acts of public apostasy.
Today, the Satanist movement is spreading in the U.S., particularly among students. On many campuses, they set up their tables next to those of pro-life student activists. At these tables, Satanists hand out pills that cause immediate abortion. Along with the pills, they give women instructions on how to sacrifice, by an act of free will, the murder of their child to Satan.
What is shocking, however, is that Satanists today can say to Catholics right to their faces: “We’re just following the example of your Holy Father Francis. He consecrated himself to Satan in Canada, and before that, he enthroned the Pachamama demon. After all, we’re merely encouraging women to make the murder of an unborn child a conscious sacrifice to Satan. As for abortions, your Holy Father Francis bestowed honors and blessings on the work of mass abortionists. By contrast, he punished a pro-life activist priest. Your Holy Father Francis never stood up for your pro-life movement. We are more consistent Catholics than you are. We follow the spirit and example of your Holy Father.”
In 2019, 10,000 members officially identified with the student Satanist movement in the U.S. By 2025 – that is, after Francis’s consecration to Satan – the number had grown, as they themselves claim, to 700,000 members. We ask: Has Francis’s active participation in a pagan ritual and the enthronement of the Pachamama demon in St. Peter’s Basilica in 2019 contributed to this sharp rise in Satanism? Has the active participation of the so-called Holy Father in a pagan initiation ritual in Canada in 2022 impacted this increase? Yes, it has!
However, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) accepted both the enthronement of Pachamama and Francis’s consecration to Satan, as well as the declaration Fiducia Supplicans. Will the American bishops at least now do penance for their betrayal and scandalous silence? Or will they continue to hypocritically claim that there is no evidence that Francis Bergoglio was a manifest heretic?

BCP: Was Francis Bergoglio
a public heretic or not?
Part 2
Statements by the Fathers of the Church, Popes, and Councils
St. Robert Bellarmine: “The Pope who is manifestly a heretic ceases by himself to be Pope and head, in the same way as he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the body of the Church.”
Fathers of the Church
St. Jerome: “The other sinners are excluded from the Church by sentence of excommunication, but the heretics exile themselves and separate themselves by their own act from the body of Christ… The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope… he cannot be head of what he is not a member.” (Dial. contra Lucif.)
St. Cyprian: “He who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian.” (lib. 4, epist. 2)
St. Augustine: “A manifest heretic is not a Christian; therefore the manifest heretic cannot be Pope.” (lib. De grat. Christ. cap. 20)
St. Athanasius: “A manifest heretic is not a Christian…” (Ser. 2 cont. Arian.)
Statements by Popes and Councils that a heretical pope can be judged
Pope Innocent III (1198): “The Roman Pontiff can be judged by men, or rather, can be shown to be already judged, if for example he should wither away into heresy, because he who does not believe is already judged. In such a case it should be said of him: ‘If salt should lose its savor, it is good for nothing but to be cast out and trampled under foot by men.’” (Can. Si Papa dist. 40, serm. 2 de consec. pontif.)
The Sixth General Council (678-680) posthumously condemned Pope Honorius as a heretic and excommunicated him. The Council was approved by Pope Leo II.
The Eighth General Council (869-870) confirmed that Pope Honorius was justly anathematized, because he had been convicted of heresy. The Council was approved by Pope Hadrian II.
The dogmatic bull Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio (Pope Paul IV, 1559):
“If ever at any time it shall appear that any Bishop, … or any Cardinal of the Roman Church, or even the Roman Pontiff, prior to his promotion or his elevation as Cardinal or Roman Pontiff, has deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy: the promotion or elevation, even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals, shall be null, void and worthless.”
(Such promotion or elevation) “… are without force and shall grant no stability whatsoever nor any right to anyone.”
“… to any (heretics) so promoted to be Bishops, or Archbishops, or Patriarchs, or Primates or elevated as Cardinals, or as Roman Pontiff, no authority shall have been granted, nor shall it be considered to have been so granted.”
(The faithful) “…shall be permitted at any time to withdraw with impunity from obedience and devotion to them … and to avoid them as warlocks, heathens, publicans, and heresiarchs.” (see §6 and §7)
At the end of his Bull, Paul IV declares: “No one at all may infringe this document of our approbation or by rash presumption contradict it. If anyone, however, should presume to attempt this, let him know that he is destined to incur the wrath of Almighty God...”
Fathers of the Church
Cardinal St. Robert Bellarmine: “The Pope who is manifestly a heretic ceases by himself to be Pope and head, in the same way as he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the body of the Church; and for this reason he can be judged and punished by the Church.” (De Romano Pontifice, Book II, Chapter 30)
“It is proven with arguments from authority and from reason that the manifest heretic is ‘ipso facto’ deposed. The argument from authority is based on St. Paul (Titus, c. 3), who orders that the heretic be avoided after two warnings, that is, after showing himself to be manifestly obstinate – which means before any excommunication or judicial sentence.”
“It would be the most miserable condition of the Church, if she would be compelled to acknowledge a manifestly tearing wolf for a shepherd.”
“Therefore, the true opinion is the one according to which the Pope who is manifestly a heretic ceases by himself to be Pope and head, in the same way as he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the body of the Church; and for this reason he can be judged and punished by the Church. This is the opinion of all the Fathers, who teach that manifest heretics immediately lose all jurisdiction, and outstandingly that of St. Cyprian (lib. 4, epist. 2)…”
St. Antoninus of Florence: “In the case in which the Pope would become a heretic, he would find himself, by that very fact alone and without any other sentence, separated from the Church. A head separated from a body cannot be head of the same body from which it was cut off.”
St. Francis de Sales: “When the Pope is explicitly a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church …”
St. Alphonsus of Liguori: “If God were to permit a pope to become a notorious and contumacious heretic, he would by such fact cease to be pope, and the apostolic chair would be vacant (sede vacante).”
Canon law
Wernz-Vidal’s Ius Canonicum (1943): “Through notorious and openly divulged heresy, the Roman Pontiff, should he fall into heresy, by that very fact [ipso facto] is deemed to be deprived of the power of jurisdiction even before any declaratory judgment by the Church…”
Udalricus Beste, Introductio in Codicem (1946): “Not a few canonists teach that, outside of death and abdication, the pontifical dignity can also be lost by falling into certain insanity, which is legally equivalent to death, as well as through manifest and notorious heresy. In the latter case, a pope would automatically fall from his power, and this indeed without the issuance of any sentence, for the first See [i.e. the See of Peter] is judged by no one. … The reason is that, by falling into heresy, the pope ceases to be a member of the Church. He who is not a member of a society, obviously cannot be its head.”
Matthaeus Conte a Coronata, Institutiones Iuris Canonici (1950): “He who openly professes heresy places himself outside the Church, and it is not likely that Christ would preserve the Primacy of His Church in one so unworthy. Wherefore, if the Roman Pontiff were to profess heresy, before any condemnatory sentence he would lose his authority.”
The Catholic Church now faces its most important duty: to make public whether Pope Francis was or was not a manifest heretic. This duty cannot be evaded through silence or mere platitudes.
