Dr. Josef Seifert Calls for Investigation of Francis’ Heresies’ Ahead of Conclave

This article is going viral and is stirring up much-needed discussion about the papacy of Pope Francis. It wasn't all beautiful as some people portray it. There are many, many people who have been deeply hurt by him for doing nothing but being faithful to authentic Catholic Tradition. Dr. Seifert Is well known and very respected. His opinion carries much weight. I am grateful for those who are not afraid to speak out and don't just go along with the crowd out of fear. Here is the article:

'I suggest and humbly implore you that you ordain before the impending Conclave a just and fair examination of the many accusations of heresy,' Seifert urged Cardinal Re.

(LifeSiteNews) — Renowned Austrian philosopher Dr. Josef Seifert is calling on Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re to launch an official investigation into the many accusations of heresy against the late Pope Francis before the start of the next conclave in order to determine which cardinals should be allowed to participate in it.

“I suggest and humbly implore you that you ordain before the impending Conclave a just and fair examination of the many accusations of heresy and … also of possible apostasy of Pope Francis,” Seifert has said.

“If the accusation of heresy prior to Pope Francis’s election, during and after it, prove to be correct, two thirds of the present college of Cardinals would be excluded from entering the Conclave."

Seifert, 80, is a former member of the Pontifical Academy for Life. He has held a number of prominent positions at prestigious Catholic institutions during his lengthy career. He was scandalously not reappointed to his post at the Academy by Francis in 2017. Instead, he and his confreres were replaced with pro-social justice, pro-open borders, and pro-abortion "theologians.”

In his letter, released April 24, Seifert urges Re, the current Dean of the College of Cardinals, to consider whether God is calling him to imitate not only St. Michael but also St. Athanasius and to urgently carry out the investigation.

“By this action you could save the Church from a historically speaking unique confusion of catastrophic proportions.”

Seifert also explains that it was after reading Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s statements that he came to understand that St. Pius V and Pope Paul IV decreed that “all nominations of Cardinals made by a heretical Pope are null.”

“I discovered through the text J’accuse of Archbishop Viganò two … probably dogmatic and certainly most authoritative pontifical documents on the issue of ‘heretical Bishops, Cardinals and Popes’ by Pope Paul IV and St. Pius V,” he states.

“These texts seem to me to be of the highest importance for the Church at the present moment.”

Seifert comments that “Popes St. Pius V and Paul IV decreed and fixed for perpetual times: that all decisions, nominations and elevations of bishops and Cardinals and that all writings of a heretical Pope should be declared null.”

He goes on: “according to these Papal documents and according to natural law, the Cardinals whom Pope Francis has chosen, cannot remain electors if the accusation of heresy or apostasy proves to be true.”

The documents Seifert is referring to are Pope Paul VI’s 1559 papal bull Cum ex apostolatus officio and St. Pius V’s 1566 motu proprio Inter Multiplices.

Archbishop Viganò has amplified Seifer’s letter by sharing it on his X account. He has also doubled down on his own insistence that the cardinals appointed by Francis should not be considered eligible to vote in the next conclave.

“The death of Bergoglio crystallizes, so to speak, a situation of widespread illegitimacy. Of the 136 Cardinal electors, 108 were ‘created’ by him; which means that whatever Pope is elected in the upcoming Conclave – even if he were a new Saint Pius X – his authority will be compromised by having been elected by false cardinals, created by a false Pope. For this reason, some time ago, I asked my Brothers in the Episcopate to clarify these aspects before they proceed with the election of a new Pope,” His Excellency told an Italian news outlet recently.

Brushing off anticipated criticism, Seifert proceeds to argue that “a valid official verdict that Francis is a heretic and therefore was not a valid Pope, as has been done with regard to several Popes before, also posthumously, would be of greatest benefit for the future of the Church.”

“This step seems to me the only right one, and the negative results it could provoke, the actual occurring of a division in the Church between the Bergoglio-Church and the true Church would be a much lesser evil than a tranquil church?of disorder plunged into error. In fact, it would be a true blessing because it would lead to a revival of the true UNA, SANCTA, CATOLICA ET APOSTOLICA ECCLESIA founded UPON THE TRUTH. I am also sure that countless Catholics would welcome this step.”

“This has nothing to do with you acting against the Church or against the Pope,” Seifert adds. “On the contrary, it is an act of supreme love for the Church and Francis: for IF the accusation of heresy, having been launched formally and informally by high doctrinal and theological authorities against Francis, will be found true in a due ecclesiastic process, the Church will confront the faithful with the truth.”

Throughout his letter, Seifert reminds Re that he is praying for him and that he is “the highest authority in the Catholic Church” at the present moment and that he could be “comparable with St. Athanasius” if he acts decisively.

Indeed, even if Pope Francis had resigned from his post, as Pope Benedict XVI did, this would not have been enough to heal the terrible wound of a heretical pope, because the destructive elements and poisonous fruits of his pontificate would have remained:

1. The Acta Apostolica will continue to contain uncondemned heresies.

2. Heretical moral teachings such as those expressed in the AL would ostensibly remain official teachings of the Church and would seduce the faithful into committing grave sins.

3. Many other heretical remarks by the Pope that directly contradict the solemn words of Christ and the dogmas of the Church would not be expunged from the corpus of Church teaching, such as:

a. Francis's (private but repeated) "teaching" on the emptiness of hell and the non-existence of eternal punishment,

b. the affirmation of annihilation instead of eternal punishment for incurable sinners, a typical teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses, incompatible with several dogmas.

c. The sentence in the Abu Dhabi Declaration on God's Will Since Creation concerning the plurality of religions (including those that deny the divinity of Christ, the Holy Trinity, redemption by Christ alone, etc.) which is more apostatic than heretical, would not be removed from the Acta Apostolica but would remain prescribed for all bishops and rectors of seminaries throughout the world to teach in seminaries in the una, sancta, catholica et apostolica Ecclesia as part of the preparation of seminarians for holy orders. This apostatic sentence would remain in the eyes of the faithful a "teaching of the Church", but it is in reality not only un-Catholic, even anti-Catholic, but also anti-Christian,which would cause immense harm to faith and morals if it were left in the Acta Apostolica.

3. Furthermore, only if Francis, after the Church has examined and condemned his heresies which are far worse than those of any previous Pope like John XXII, were posthumously declared not to have been the true Pope, could many of the actions taken by the Pope (papal praise and celebration of Reformation Day, statue, stamp and praise of Luther) be considered measures that must be repressed; cult of Pasha Mamma in St. Peter's; blessings of homosexual and adulterous couples, false claim that adulterous and remarried couples can know by their conscience that God wants them to remain in the sin of adultery, rather than follow the perpetual teaching of the Church on marriage expressed in Familiaris Consortio 83 , etc., etc.), could no longer be considered legitimate Catholic actions and teachings, and his documents would no longer be accepted as part of true Catholic teaching.

Consequently, according to the infallible papal teaching of Paul IV and St. Pius V, in my opinion, Francis's appointment of 80% of the cardinals-elect (who, humanly speaking, will be likely to elect a pope who might continue to teach Francis's heresies) will be retracted and will cease to be a horrible threat to the next conclave and the election of a new pope.

“I implore you in the name of Jesus Christ, of his and our beloved mother who kills all heresies, and in the name of St. Joseph, the terror daemonum, to consider whether you might not be called to help freeing the Church from the mentioned evils.”

“I ask you on my knees to examine whether God does not call you … to become a human instrument of saving the Church from the abyss toward which it seems to be rushing.”

“Without a Saintly dignitary of the Church preserving the doctrine of the Church from being sullied by Papal heresy, I am afraid only a direct intervention of Jesus or His Blessed Mother, can save the ship of the Holy Church from sinking into a hellish abyss of error, confusion and destruction, which God swore never to allow.”

“But I think, as St. Ignatius said, God wants us to believe that everything depends on God, but to act as if everything depended on us.”
