Michael Matt Just A Few Months Ago Wanted All Traditionalists To Support Pope Francis For The Traditional Things He Does - Now Remnant Declares That Pope Francis Is Not The Pope!


Michael Matt the editor of the Remnant just a few months ago on one of his videos Remnant Underground  pleaded with traditionalists to support Pope Francis in anything that the Pope does to help or promote the traditionalists and its cause. Bad advice.

Now Remnant is backing the theory of Antonio Socci that Pope Francis is not the Pope because the resignation of Pope Benedict was invalid:
Latest from Socci: The Papal Games Featured Written by Christopher A. Ferrara Today (February 17) the world press reported that Pope Francis has obtained an Argentinian passport and identity card under his former name, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and that he “would like to keep traveling around the world with the Argentinian passport.” That is, although he already holds a Vatican passport as Pope Francis, head of the Vatican city state and Vicar of Christ, he would like to continue to be known, and treated by immigration authorities, as simply Jorge Bergoglio, citizen of Argentina. In yet another display of an endlessly praised humility that is becoming a titanic spectacle, Pope Francis—or should I say Jorge Bergoglio—insisted on personally paying the processing fees to the Argentinian government. In the “Church of the poor” there is no money to waste on fees for the Pope’s alter ego passport and ID card, but $28 million was readily available for a massive three-hour rock concert cum Novus Ordo Mass on the beach in Rio.he former Jorge Bergoglio, the former Cardinal Ratzinger seems uncomfortable with the idea that he is no longer Pope, and wishes in some way to remain Benedict XVI. What is going on here? It seems we are dealing with another effect of the cloud of obscurantism that descended upon the Church during and after Vatican II, causing what Romano Amerio so aptly described as “the loss of essences” in post-conciliar thinking. It seems churchmen low and high, not excluding the Pope himself, have mysteriously become incapable of stating or even believing with firm conviction that one thing is clearly distinct from another—that, for example, the Vicar of Christ is distinct from the man he once was, and that “Pope” is not just a job title to be added to his folio of identity documents. It is becoming clearer by the day that we are living in the midst of a situation that Antonio Socci rightly calls “almost apocalyptic” in one of two new newspaper articles posted on his website which I have translated for Remnant readers. Socci’s astonishing remarks about the apparent problem of “two Popes” living at the same time received serious treatment from none other than John Allen, writing from his new post at the Boston Globe. Socci, writes Allen, is “definitely not the lunatic fringe.” Indeed he is not. The lunatic fringe would appear to be Socci’s subject, however. CAF
In the beginning after Pope Francis was elected the Remnant held out hope that this pope would change things for the better -  it took the Remnant about three months to come to the conclusion that Pope Francis was not going to help tradition.

Then to appease the powers that be - the Remnant in December posted the video asking for all traditionalists to be supportive of Pope Francis in all that he does to help tradition.

Now as yesterday the Remnant declares  that Pope Francis is not the Pope!
