Dear Bishop Joseph,

Jorge Bergoglio has built a system of internal destruction of the Church based on false obedience to abused authority. To break this system means to stop the process of self-destruction of the Catholic Church, and thus save millions of immortal souls. God gave you the chance to break this system, to disobey it, and to become a precedent for salvation. You threw away that chance.

Where was the main cause of your failure? It was above all the heresy of papolatry promoted by Bishop Schneider. He claims that the Pope can commit the greatest crimes against God, against the Church, and continue to be Pope. This heresy contradicts Holy Scripture (Gal 1:8-9) and the teaching of the Church represented by St. Cyprian, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, the dogmatic bull Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio of Paul IV, and Doctors of the Church such as St. Bellarmine, St. Alphonsus of Liguori, St. Francis de Sales. St. Bellarmine wrote: “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.”

There have been two popes in history, even three popes, but none of them, whether true or false popes, have shaken the foundations of faith and morals with heretical teachings. When Pope Honorius equivocated on the heresy of monotheletism, he was posthumously excommunicated from the Church as a heretic. The heretic Jorge Bergoglio who occupies the papacy cannot even be compared to any unworthy pope in the history of the Church.

The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate (BCP) has already sent you a draft and published it on July 5, 2023, to help you get off the slippery slope of spiritual suicide evidenced by your statement, “I believe Pope Francis is the Pope”. It is a great mistake and self-deception if you falsely believe that the one who has publicly opposed God the Creator by breaking God’s laws is the true Pope. Jorge Bergoglio has dedicated himself to Satan in Canada, enthroned the Pachamama demon, destroys the foundations of the Church with manifest heresies, and promotes the blessing of sodomite unions. But you wanted to preserve an image of obedience and fidelity to the so-called Holy Father before the people. And so you labeled your cowardice and betrayal of Christ as “God’s will”. Such self-delusion is effectively helping Bergoglio to massively destroy the Church.

When, in the time of St. Ambrose, the heretical Arians influenced the empress, it was decided that the great temple in Milan should be given to the Arians. The servant of God Ambrose resolutely declared that he would never give the temple to the heretics. Soldiers came to take the temple by force. Ambrose was inside with the faithful continuously for three days. He bravely resisted the unjust order. He responded to the threats: “I will not give the temple of God to the wolves. I will not betray the flock of Christ. If the Lord allows them to kill me, it will be here, on the steps of the altar. I ask nothing more heartily of Him. They threaten me with death and fire, but true servants of God have learned to fear none of these things.”

St. Ambrose said: “I will not betray the flock of Christ!” He was willing to accept even death, but only on the steps of the altar of the temple, which he was commanded to hand over to the heretics. Bergoglio is an arch-heretic who excommunicated himself from the Church, and you obeyed him and made it clear before the whole Church that you consider him, even though he is a manifest heretic, to be the true Pope to whom we are supposedly to submit. This is a crime on your part and a terrible outrage to the little ones and to all sincere bishops.

Dear Bishop Joseph, what penance does God and the suffering Church expect from you? Separate yourself from the heresy of papolatry and, in conformity with the teaching of Holy Scriptures and the Church Fathers, publicly confess that a manifest heretic like Jorge Bergoglio is not the Pope because he has already excommunicated himself from the Church by his manifest heresies. May the Mother of God obtain for you the grace you need to take this step.

          In Christ,

          Bishops of the BCP
