[THREAD] A few responses to today's "Vortex" — specifically 3:11-4:20 (see below for first 50 secs of said time stamp), during which @Michael_Voris clearly intends to impugn Trad outlets...
Re: CM's position on Pope Francis, Voris says: "Unlike other outfits...we have never said he's not the real pope, or he's a heretic, or Benedict is still the secret real pope, or the conclave to elect Bergoglio was rigged."

Let's unpack this string of statements.
(1) Re: the identity of the current Roman Pontiff, @cathfamilynews has maintained (and continues to maintain) that Francis is the one and only reigning Pope (see the following, which first appeared in CFN, Sept-Oct. 2016 issues: trueorfalsepope.com/p/is-francis-o…).
(2a) Re: papal heresy, Voris also says: "No member of the laity can sit in judgment over a pope." First, there is a difference between accusing someone of a crime (based on evidence) and judging them guilty. CFN says the bishops should investigate: catholicfamilynews.com/blog/2019/04/3…
(2b) Second, re: legitimate resistance of errors and fraternal correction of superiors, Aquinas teaches that "if the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly." (ST II-II, q. 33, a. 4, ad. 2 -- newadvent.org/summa/3033.htm…).
(3) Again, Voris says in today's "Vortex" that @Church_Militant has "never" claimed "the conclave to elect Bergoglio was rigged." A simple Google search reveals otherwise (see below, published Mar. 21, 2019): churchmilitant.com/news/article/b…
If @Michael_Voris is interested in learning traditional Catholic teaching re: the possibility of papal heresy and loss of office, I highly recommend he read @TrueOrFalsePope, a 700+ page tome in which Saints, Doctors, and pre-conciliar theologians are quoted on the subject.
