(LifeSiteNews) — There are new developments in the active Vatican court case looking into allegations that the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI was not valid and thus calling into question the pontificates of Francis and Leo XIV.
In April of this year, LifeSiteNews broke an exclusive story confirming that the Office of the Promoter of Justice of the Vatican City State was actively investigating a petition challenging the validity of Pope Benedict XVI’s 2013 resignation. The report, based on an official letter from Promoter of Justice Professor Alessandro Diddi dated March 30, 2026, marked the first time the Vatican’s criminal investigative office had put in writing that the multi-year claims had triggered an active …More

A DOUBTFUL POPE
reflects the theological maxim papa dubius, papa nullus, which posits that a legitimately doubted papacy lacks the certainty required to exercise binding authority. This concept surfaces historically during schisms and modern traditionalist debates regarding papal validity. [1, 2]
The evidence that the Conclave of 2025 was invalid and improperly conducted is now part of an official criminal complaint at the Vatican, thanks to the efforts of the Italian Journalist Andrea Cionci, author of The Ratzinger Code, and a long time collaborator in …More
A DOUBTFUL POPE - More Evidences - CANON 332
Further evidences as to the irregular CONCLAVE 2025 [illegal / rule break] as to the status of Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV
Canon 332 §1 declares Pope Leo XIV an anti-pope
We are living in a very peculiar age in the history of the Catholic Church. As readers of FromRome.Info, from February 11, 2013 until December 31, 2022, the Catholic Church was caught up in a program of mass confusion which broke out over the terms of Canon 332 §2, which reads as follows:
Canon 332 § 2. — Si contingat ut Romanus Pontifex muneri suo renuntiet, ad validitatem requiritur ut renuntiatio libere fiat et rite manifestatur, non vero ut a quopiam acceptatur.
Which in English is:
Canon 332 § 2. — If it happen that the Roman Pontiff renounce his munus, for validity there is required that the renunciation be made freely and be manifested duly (rite), but not that it be accepted by anyone at all.
Here “rite” means in accord with due procedure: “rite” being the Latin word for “according to the ritual”.

JPII made Bernardine and Martini cardinals ....etc I question JPII especially after Assisi
From the evidence available prior to and after the conclave, Leo the Not-so-Great's election would appear to have been as rigged as his mentor/designator predecessor's. The question is, as in the past when such concerns have arisen, who stops the bus? Pray to the Holy Spirit for guidance, deliverance and conversion. Today's saint, Pope Pius X wouldn't be a bad backup either. Now, he, was a pope.
