I am once again republishing an article at the request of the journalist Andrea Cionci. Like the previous article, this is the specific translation he supplied.

POPE JOHN PAUL II CELEBRATED WHILE SEATED. BERGOGLIO COULD DO THE SAME, BUT HE DOESN'T DO IT.
As you may have noticed, Bergoglio continues to NOT CELEBRATE the Masses of the Easter Triduum.
He suddenly stopped celebrating on April 10th 2022. The Mass booklets of these days use, as they have for the past two years, the euphemistic and ambiguous formula "he presides," not to say that he does not celebrate, (as they wrote in 2022) which is shown conclusively by the use of the cope (mantle open on the front) instead of the chasuble (one piece).
In the previous article we mentioned the possibility that Bergoglio had been subject to some internal Vatican ban, which is quite credible considering the abrupt interruption.
The media justification for not celebrating, as you know, is his aching knee, and in fact lately TV shows have been talking about how infirm he is, how he has to move around in a wheelchair. They've been able to say on the news that if he were to celebrate standing up, holding on with his cane, with his other hand, he might drop the Body of Christ--and so he doesn't celebrate.
They come up with more and more ridiculous things, but lies have short legs, and all we needed was to just surf the net a bit to find one of the last Masses, if not the very last, in which the legitimate Pope John Paul II, by then in the terminal stage of his Parkinson's Disease conditions, on April 4, 2004, only a year before his passing, CELEBRATED Mass while SITTING, from St. Peter's Square.
That poor, heroic Pope, devoured by his love for the Eucharist, though ravaged by illness, exercised his ministry to the last, even while sitting in the white chair.
So, Bergoglio, should he be Pope, could simply follow the footsteps of John Paul II, if this knee pain were to be unbearable, and if holding on to the staff risked dropping the body of Christ, he could safely celebrate sitting down.
BUT HE DOESN'T.
And he doesn't do it either because he really doesn't want to, a thing that shows that he is not Catholic at all, (something we have already been certain of for some time), or because he has been prevented from doing so by the Vatican, which shows that he is not the legitimate Pope at all, or that at the very least, investigations are underway.
Either way, he does not come out well.
After all, canon law peacefully contemplates the possibility for the infirm priest to celebrate while sitting:
Can. 930 - §1. The infirm or aged priest, if he cannot stand, may celebrate the Eucharistic Sacrifice while seated, observing, however, the liturgical laws; not, however, before the people, except with license from the local Ordinary.
Since the local Ordinary was the Bishop of Rome, that is, the Pope, John Paul II gave himself permission, evidently.
Bergoglio certainly would not lack the character to authorize himself, if he wanted to celebrate while sitting.
Suffice it to say that, he just did a washing of the feet of women prisoners , something authorized by himself since 2016. It is unthinkable that the real Pope could wash the feet of women because the gesture reminds of that of Jesus with the Apostles, who were male, with all due respect to Fr. Tucho Fernandez. In fact, the Pope has always performed this rite with the feet of priests. Bergoglio's is the anti-washing of the feet: Jesus did it to holy men, the antipope does it to women prisoners. The Gospel reports:
"When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord', and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you". (John 13:12-15)
The failure to celebrate the Eucharist is not the only evidence that Bergoglio is not the Pope. Perhaps not everyone has perceived that he, ever since his invalid election, HAS NEVER KNELT DOWN BEFORE THE HOLY SACRAMENT, ever. And that was long before he started making excuses about his knee. The only one who managed to get him to kneel was Pope Benedict XVI, when he led him to the kneeler in the Castel Gandolfo chapel.
Could a Catholic experience this irresistible reluctance to kneel?
As Ratzinger wrote in his Introduction to the Spirit of the Liturgy, "The bending of the knees is thus the bending of our strength before the living God, a recognition that all that we are, we have from him. This gesture appears in important Old Testament passages as an expression of worship. [...] Worship is one of those fundamental acts that concern the whole man. That is why the bending of the knees in the presence of the living God is inalienable."
From the perspective of faith, John Paul II's heroic illness thus takes on a providential-historical value today: by celebrating seated at the time, he showed us today's gnostic antipope, the one who does not kneel and for whom "Jesus became a serpent, became DEVIL."
After all, the final confrontation could only be around the Eucharist.
