Munus ("Pope"), Ministerium ("Bishop of Rome") or Both

By Nich Flüe 

Viewers of my blogs and videos ask, “Nich, what is the Munus and how does the candidate for Pope accept it”? 

This is an important question because I contend that since 1958, with the possible exception of Ratzinger, all of the other so-called “popes” from Roncalli to Montini (the "two worm ridden popes of the twentieth century”) to Luciani to Wojtyła to Bergoglio and now Prevost are simply what the Protestants conveniently would admit, the Vicar of Peter, not the Vicar of Christ. Notice in the public media, even with so-called Traditional Catholics that Prevost’s election is reported as the “Successor to Peter”?

With this assertion, one may conclude that these phonies are merely the Bishops of Rome. They never accepted the “Munus” because if they did, and then definitively commit heresy, schism or apostasy, they would be struck dead by God.

Recall in the Old Testament, if a high priest entered the Holy of Holies without repentance for his sins, he would be struck dead by God, appearing as the Shekinah. That is why a rope was tied to his ankle so that the others outside could drag him out. The freemasons know and appreciate this. These evil men know that if the Munus is accepted by the candidate for Pope, he receives the grace directly from the Holy Ghost to not error in matters of Faith and Dogma specifically when using his ex-cathedra power to define Dogma. If he does, I contend that like the High Priest in the Old Testament, he would be struck dead by God. Recall that the Pope cannot definitively teach heresy and he cannot bind the faithful to heresy. If the Pope did teach definitively heresy would that not imply that Jesus Christ failed in His promise to Peter that the Gates of Hell would not prevail?

So, the important question that needs to be answered is, how does the candidate for the Bishop of Rome AND the Petrine Office formally accept the Munus?

At the end of the election process, the elected candidate traditionally would take an “Oath of Acceptance” committing to fulfill faithfully the Munus Petrinum as the Vicar of Christ and Pastor of the Universal Church.

I assert there is substantial evidence to support my claim that the candidates noted above did not complete the Oath of Acceptance regarding the Munus Petrinum, and therefore were and presently are just a Bishop of Rome.

When taking the Oath the candidate accepts the grace from the Holy Ghost and promises to fulfill three key attributes/ dimensions of the Petrine Office as Pope:

·      Munus Docendi (Teaching): The Pope’s role in confirming the faithful in the truth and ensuring fidelity to the Church’s teachings.

·      Munus Sanctificandi (Sanctifying): The Pope’s role in guiding the Church towards holiness through liturgy and the sacraments.

·      Munus regendi (Governing): The Pope’s role as the supreme pastor, leading the Church in communion with the bishops.

I assert that in all three attributes/ dimensions, Roncalli, Montini, Luciani, Wojtyła, Bergoglio and now Prevost failed miserably. If I am correct, this is probably a major sin that, in my humble opinion, would cause the Pope (who accepted the Munus) to be struck dead by God to prevent such an occurrence. Yet, they did not suffer as such. Regardless of assassination or attempt-thereof, God help them, I fear for their immortal souls.

As pertains to Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), it is evident that he cut a deal with the Jesuit and Freemason (Member of the Grande Orinte d’Italia Democratico., a.k.a. “GOD”), Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini to be elected for a three-year term. Ratzinger violated his “deal” by (1) accepting the Munus during the Oath of Acceptance; (2) publicly declaring the need for prayers for his pontificate for “fear of the wolves”; (3) his initiative to relax restrictions thereby promoting the use of the Traditional Latin Mass through his Summorum Pontificum on the use of the Roman Liturgy prior to the reform of 1970; and (4) his attempt to reconcile differences with the SSPX and invite them into full union with Rome including the removal of the improper excommunication of the SSPX Bishops. Of course, he also stayed much longer than the three-year term that he agreed to and afterwards supported Bergoglio to replace him. Reading his resignation letter, it appears he only gave up the Ministerium, a responsibility of the Bishop of Rome. Did Benedict XVI give up his Fisherman’s Ring and was it broken when Bergoglio, who only called himself “the Bishop of Rome” was elected? Why did lightning strike the dome of St. Peter’s TWICE? Keep in mind that Pope Benedict XVI blatantly did not show any affection of Martini’s death during the Angelus of the first Sunday of September, only a few hours after Martini’s death.

It is important for Roman Catholics to appreciate that the foundation of Vatican I is being attacked by Freemasonry for centuries, that is: (1) Dogma of Papal Monarchy; (2) Dogma of Papal Infallibility; (3) Dogma of Petrine Primacy; and (4) Dogma of Universal Jurisdiction. Note that Cardinal Kurt Koch for the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity stated that the Church needs “re-reception”, “re-interpretation”, “official interpretation”, “updated commentary” and even “rewording of the teachings of Vatican I”. Devout Roman Catholics must recognize that all of this is synonymous with APOSTASY.

To appreciate how the devil is in the details regarding my assertions, I encourage you to watch the video on my website: The Overthrow of Siri – Sede Vacante and Sede Usurpavit: The Conumdrum.   Here is the link:

Overthrown of Siri

The methods and means used on Siri are no different for any other prelate wishing to be Pope and observe and enforce Catholic dogma and tradition effectively.
