Pope Benedict XVI did not renounce his munus. Mr. Stine does not see that as a convincing argument. He is incorrect. Of all the canonical invalidating arguments regarding the “election” of Jorge Bergoglio, the lack of renouncement of the munus on the part of Pope Benedict XVI is the most convincing argument.

Money, sex and modernism
by Louie Verrocchio, Renew America – October 1, 2015
An article by Italian journalist Maurizio Blondet is making the rounds alleging that Pope Benedict XVI was blackmailed into abdication by forces allied with SWIFT (the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), which had a hand in the shutdown of ATM and bank card services at the Vatican in January of 2012.
According to Blondet:
“There was a blackmail of Benedict XVI, coming from who knows where, through SWIFT. The underlying reasons for this have not been clarified, but it is clear that SWIFT has intervened directly in the management of affairs of the Church.”
This particular theory is not entirely new. It has long been running concurrent with another theory; namely, that Pope Benedict XVI abdicated in sheer horror at the contents of the infamous 300 page report, given to him in December of 2012, detailing the activities of a Vatican “gay mafia.”
Which one, if either, is correct?
No one knows for certain, but my money is on both, though not to the exclusion of other unknown factors.
Let’s recap.

“The election of Jorge Bergoglio by the Martini-led “Mafia”
by Marco Tosatti, La Stampa – September 24, 2015
(english translation by Rorate Caeli)
The election of Jorge Bergoglio was the fruit of secret meetings that cardinals and bishops, organized by Carlo Maria Martini, held for years at St. Gall in Switzerland. This is what is claimed by Jürgen Mettepenningen and Karim Schelkens, the authors of a just published biography of the Belgian Cardinal Godfried Danneels, who refer to the group of cardinals and bishops as the “Mafia-club”.
Danneels, according to the authors, had worked for years in preparation for the election of Pope Francis, which happened in 2013. He himself, however, in a video recorded during the presentation of the book admits that he had taken part in a secret club of cardinals that were in opposition to Joseph Ratzinger. While laughing he calls it “a Mafia club whose name was St. Gall”.
The group wanted a drastic reform of the Church, much more modern and up to date, with Jorge Bergoglio as Pope Francis at the head. And this is just as things turned out. In addition to Danneels and Martini, among the others who made up the group according to the book were the Dutch bishop Adriaan Van Luyn, the German cardinals Walter Kasper and Karl Lehman, the Italian cardinal Achille Silvestrini and the English cardinal Basil Hume. [Rorate note: from the earliest days of the group, later replaced after his death.]
The Belgian newspaper “Le Vif” wrote: “On March 13, 2013, an old acquaintance was at the side of the new Pope [at the St. Peter’s Basilica loggia], Francis: Godfried Danneels. Officially he stood there in his role as the dean of the cardinal-priests, but actually he had operated for years in secret as the king-maker.”
Danneels has been invited again by Pope Francis to attend the Synod on the Family that will take place in October in Rome. But he has been severely criticized. He tried to dissuade a victim of sexual abuse from accusing the man who abused him, a bishop, who was the uncle of the victim, and because of this, at the time of the Conclave in 2013 there were those in Belgium who asked that he not be allowed to elect the new Pope.
In addition, his positions on homosexual marriage and on abortion, (according to the revelations of two parliamentarians Danneels had written to the king of Belgium urging him to sign the law that permitted it) do not seem to be in harmony with the Magisterium of the Church. And not in harmony as well with what Pope Francis affirms.

EXCERPT FROM THE FULL ARTICLE-
Archbishop Viganò suggests a cardinal has proof
Francis’ election was corrupt and his ‘pontificate’ null
Speaking to Catholic Family News editor Matt Gaspers, the Italian prelate said that this particular cardinal is not speaking publicly ‘so as not to break the Pontifical secret’, but that in fact he has already broken the Pontifical secret by talking about it in private conversations.

(LifeSiteNews) – There is a new development regarding the discussion as to whether or not Pope Francis’ papal election at the March 2013 conclave was valid. Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has claimed that a cardinal who participated in the conclave told friends “that he has witnessed facts that render the election of Jorge Mario null and void.”
Speaking to Catholic Family News editor Matt Gaspers, the Italian prelate added that this cardinal does not wish to reveal these facts “publicly so as not to break the Pontifical secret: the secret that he has already broken by talking about it with those who can do nothing, which forces His Eminence into silence before the Church.” In his view, these facts might render it possible that the Church’s “Pastors could perhaps settle the question” of the 2013 papal election.
Archbishop Viganò thinks this is a mistaken approach, based on a false legalism.
“We are not talking about the Seal of Confession,” the prelate wrote in his new interview, “but rather about matters that have reason to be reserved until this is to the detriment of the institution that brought them into force; otherwise we find ourselves like the Pharisees of the Gospel, who asked Our Lord if it was lawful to pull a donkey out of the well on the Sabbath day.”
This is a stunning report: So far, no cardinal who participated in the 2013 conclave has come out making such a statement, namely that there were events at the conclave that might render that particular papal election invalid.
In 2022, Viganò expressed his doubts about the validity of the 2013 conclave and requested an “investigation.”

Because Anthony Stine is SSPX, and they’ve obstinately persisted in their adherence to Bergoglio as “definitely pope”, so it seems that no one can accept that the SSPX could’ve possibly gotten this wrong for 10+ years.
The neo-SSPX broke from the wise position of Archbishop Lefebvre, that is, that a canonical agreement with Rome cannot be had without first Rome’s conversion. As a reward for their break, they now think they have valid jurisdiction for at least for some sacraments, but they are getting it from an antipope who does not have valid jurisdiction himself! The “jurisdiction” that comes from Jorge Bergoglio is for the Conciliar Church and not the Catholic Church.
It used to be that it was difficult to wrap my head around the possibility that when the time comes in salvation history that GOD allows THE antichrist, the acceptance by the multitudes of people especially the multitudes of Catholics, would be such that it would require the greatest and most difficulty.
This time of ANTIPOPE bergoglio has made it a great deal more easy to wrap my head around this and to understand that most people including ”Catholics” will be seduced with much less difficulty than could ever have been otherwise understood.
The ”leaders” of heresies throughout salvation history prove that the shepherds in wolves clothing and their accomplices were and are also today the ones who lead Catholics astray from the TRUTH. These ”leaders” in our times are the most significant factor in leading people into the false acceptance of bergoglio as being a true pope than could have been otherwise realized.
The conclusive explanation is that man is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and there is nothing new under the sun. The sheople follow their ”leaders” rather than their sensus Catholicus, rather than perfectly provided evidence established by GOD through HIS ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC CHURCH which proves that bergoglio is NOT THE POPE nor has ever been the pope.
The TRUTH about the heresiarch, apostate, and invalidly elected ANTIPOPE bergoglio is a fact; however, rather than using right reason and right judgement, there remains the mentality to ”follow the leader”. The same denial of TRUTH regarding ANTIPOPE bergoglio is the same today as it was in the past times, and this surely will, without doubt, be repeated for the last times of THE antichrist.
