Andrea Cionci: Normas nonnullas-- 2013 conclave abusively anticipated-- Bergoglio is not the Pope
A new article from Andrea Cionci
The Italian journalist Andrea Cionci has once again requested that I publish a document of his.
___________
Since what is prescribed in the UDG has not been complied with, namely the 15-day requirement before the conclave begins, once again, Bergoglio is not the legitimate pope and has no right
As is now well known, Bergoglio is not the legitimate Pope because of the non-existence/nullity of Pope Benedict XVI's Declaratio as an act of abdication.
If the Pope has not abdicated regularly, the election that follows is null and void, as Articles 76 and 77 of John Paul II's Universi Dominici Gregis state.
To summarize:
However, there is another reason that makes Francis one of the 40 anti-Popes in the history of the Church, and it concerns the date of convocation of the conclave (however illegitimate, because it was convened to a non-abdicatory Pope) that elected him.
It all revolves around the motu proprio Normas Nonnullas* promulgated by Benedict XVI on Feb. 22, 2013, in the period between the Declaratio and the alleged resignation. The title means “Some norms” and slightly modifies the 1996 constitution Universi Dominici Gregis by enriching and supplementing, among others, Article 37.
This said that from the vacant see, the cardinal electors must wait for 15 days for absent cardinals and only then begin the conclave. However, for serious reasons, the deadline can be EXTENDED even a few days longer.
Normas Nonnullas reiterates these norms, but makes a small change by adding that if all the cardinal electors are present in Rome even before the stipulated 15 days, the conclave can be ANTICIPATED immediately, without further delay.
This is an entirely logical and rational change, to avoid wasting unnecessary time waiting for the canonical 15 days if all the cardinal electors are already present.
So, considering that the vacant see, according to the official version, was to begin on Feb. 28 at 8 p.m., and that the bulletin convening the conclave had come out on March 1, the conclave was to begin no earlier than March 16.
Beware, however. On February 21, Indonesian Cardinal Julius Riyadi Darmaatmadja had made it known that he would not attend the conclave for health reasons. On Feb. 25, Scottish Cardinal Keith O'brien had also announced his absence because of a sexual abuse affair involving him. The electors, from a total of 117 were thus down to 115. And so it was. The rule of Normas Nonnullas is broken: in fact, this provides that the conclave can be brought forward from the 15-day wait ONLY IF ALL ELECTING CARDINALS ARE ALREADY PRESENT, and instead two were absent.
It makes no difference that these two cardinals had declared that they would not attend, for their own personal reasons: they need not have been “excused absentees.” Besides, they could have, within the legal deadline, even changed their minds and intervened in the Sacred Assize.
The norm states only that one can anticipate the conclave if all the electors are present. And they were not.
Moreover, the two absent cardinals remained in full electoral rights for quite some time even after the 2013 conclave: Darmaatmadia will lose his right to be elected in 2014, upon reaching the age of 80, and O'Brien will voluntarily renounce the rights and prerogatives of the Cardinalate, (thus also the right to vote) in 2015.
Once again, art. 76 of the Universi Dominici Gregis, which has remained fully in force, falls like a mallet: “If the election had taken place otherwise than as prescribed in the present Constitution or the conditions established herein had not been observed, the election is for that very reason null and void, without any declaration being made in this regard, and, therefore, it confers no right on the person elected.”
Since what is prescribed in the UDG on has been complied with, namely the 15-day requirement before the conclave begins, once again, Bergoglio is not the legitimate Pope and has no rights. There is also no need for an ecclesiastical declaration in this regard.
*The following is Article 37 of Universi Dominici Gregis and the amendment of Normas Nonnullas: UNIVERSI DOMINICI GREGIS (1996), JOHN PAUL II,
37. I furthermore decree that, from the moment when the Apostolic See is lawfully vacant, the Cardinal electors who are present must wait fifteen full days for those who are absent; the College of Cardinals is also granted the faculty to defer, for serious reasons, the beginning of the election for a few days more.
NORMAS NONNULLAS (FEBRUARY 22, 2013) BENEDICT XVI
37. "I furthermore decree that, from the moment when the Apostolic See is lawfully vacant, fifteen full days must elapse before the Conclave begins, in order to await those who are absent; nonetheless, the College of Cardinals is granted the faculty to move forward the start of the Conclave if it is clear that all the Cardinal electors are present; they can also defer, for serious reasons, the beginning of the election for a few days more. But when a maximum of twenty days have elapsed from the beginning of the vacancy of the See, all the Cardinal electors present are obliged to proceed to the election."
It is therefore completely incomprehensible what Father Federico Lombardi stated on March 8, 2013. “Since all the cardinal electors are present (115), “the college can set the date of the Conclave even before the 15 days of the sede vacante.”
