Lino II, Victor von Pentz

El caso del Antipapa Lino II (Linus II), en el siglo Victor von Pentz atrae la atención de cualquiera que se interese por el "tradicionalismo". En efecto, la posibilidad de un "Cónclave" por el cual todo, de manera mágica se solucionaría, es refutada por el desastroso desenlace del Concilio Imperfecto de Asís, del Año 1994.

En Sursum Corda se han publicado varios artículos sobre el problema de los Antipapas, otros sobre el Conclavismo en general, otros sobre el actual movimiento conclavista dirigido por el obispo Juan José Squetino y las mentiras de quienes hoy lo apoyan (y que antes promovieron el desastre de Asís), otros intentos de elecciones, e incluso la "deposición" que hizo Emmanuel Korab, previa a otra convocatoria conclavista. Quisiera dejar a todos los lectores éste humilde aporte de "archivo". El texto que sigue fue la declaración formal de la elección de Linus II. Fue publicado en Internet y lo guardé en mi PC por varios años. Lamentablemente, el sitio dónde estaba alojado ya no existe.

Sin más, les recomiendo una buena lectura...

1-Important News.- We, hereby, inform all Catholic Faithfuls in the world, and also, those who went away from the Catholic Church by heresy, schism or apostasy, that, on June 29, 1994, feast of the Apostle St. Peter, the first Pope, in the Italian city of Assisi, in the old stone chapel located at the summit of Subasio Mount, where St. Francis could have been born, according to an old tradition, bishops, clergyman and faithful lay people, who came from the most different regions in the world, elected a new successor of St. Peter: Rev. Fr. Victor von Pentz, 41 years old, who belongs to the Byzantine Catholic Rite or Eastern Catholic Rite of St. John Chrysostome, who took the name of Pope LINUS II.

2-Reasons for the Election. The reasons who moved the above mentioned faithfuls to elect a new successor of Peter are known facts, that have taken place in the Church as a consequence of the Second Vatican Council, its "popes", its reforms, its new Canon Law, its new Catechism. Let us enumerate those evils:

1. -Intrinsic Heresies.- It is notorious that the Second Vatican Council, according to what has been thoroughly studied and debated for years, preached, as doctrines revealed by God, falsehoods, already condemned many times by the infallible Magisterium of the Catholic Church, such as:
   • the natural "right" of refusing the truth in religious matters;
   • the "juridical equality" and "ecumenism" between the true and false religion;
   • the "collegiality" in the supreme power of jurisdiction in the Church instead of the divine right monarchy.
   These heresies are reflected in the Liturgical Reform, in the alterations of the catechism and in the 1983 Canon Law; and they are the basic doctrines of a new and false religion, that worships the free will of human beings instead of the truth and the laws of God.
   
   They openly contradict the doctrines of traditional Councils, specially those of the Council of Trent and of the I Vatican Council, the Apostolic Constitution "Auctorem Fidei", and many Encyclicals by Orthodox Popes, like "Mortalium Animos", "Quanta Cura", Quas Primas", "Libertas", "Immortale Dei", "Notre Charge Apostolique", etc.



2. -Vacancy of the Holy See.-A direct consequence of the several heresies, publicly and stubbornly professed by the conciliar "popes", for many years, in spite of many warnings by Catholics from all regions of the earth, is the automatic vacancy of the Holy See.
   
   Whereas, according to the definition by Paul IV (1559) in the Bull "Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio", the heretical pope, "ipso facto", without any other providence of action or law disposition "he loses the papal position." That definition is founded in the traditional doctrine as expressed in the II Constantinople Council, according to which the heretic, even if he has not received the anathema from others "he inflicts the anathema to himself." This is also confirmed by the Canon Law itself, for all the dignities and positions in the Church, according to Canon 188.4, that says: "the heretic 'ipso facto' and without any other statement", "by a tacit resignation", "leaves vacant any ecclesiastical position". Then, he loses "penitus et in totum", entirely and totally his position, either formally or materially, and so "he should not be considered anywhere as a legitimate one", because the heretic is "unable and incapacitated" of being a subject of ordinary jurisdiction. Thus, Paul IV teaches. Therefore "the popes of Vatican II, because of their heresies, by themselves (ipso facto), lost all and whatever power they could have over the faithfuls, and they have left vacant their positions.



3. Duty of Ending the Vacancy.- St. Pius X and other great Popes teaches that, in case of vacancy of the Holy See, the duty of the Church, "the holiest and most serious of all duties", is to extinguish the vacancy in a "provident and prudent way". On the other hand "God does not command impossible things", but only what seems difficult He makes possible by prayer: "God helps so that we can". That duty existed for everybody in the present situation of rampant heresy and general apostasy. However, the prudence of some opposed the prudence of others, as far as the fulfilment of this duty was concerned after more than 30 years of vacancy, and even this prudence caused dissensions among those who wanted to fulfil such duty and who are faithfuls.
   
   Nevertheless, the divine precept and the "Magisterium" of the Church plus the help of God prevailed over the prudence of the first ones and so notices were sent to faithfuls in all nations that there was a plan to extinguish the vacancy in Assisi on the date above mentioned.



4. The Suppletory Right.- The theologians and the "general principles of the law" teach that, when the Cardinals appointed by papal human laws, do not exist, the duty of ending the vacancy concerns to all residential bishops. And in case of schisms or negligences among them, if they do not fulfil the divine precept, by suppletory right, the duty of electing the successor of Peter concerns to the whole Church, who must free the Church of the extreme affliction of a perennial or excessively prolonged headless. In the first centuries of the Church all the Roman faithfuls participated with the clergy in choosing the successor of Peter. No human law could prevent the fulfilment of what is for the Church an absolute necessity by divine right: to have a successor of Peter.



5. Convocation for the Election. - Therefore, a group of faithfuls took for themselves the task of sending previous notification to all groups of those who call themselves Catholics and faithfuls, that there was the intention of assembling the faithful remnant in Assisi to fulfil the duty imposed by divine right. Even the "Holy See" itself or what is left of it, was notified by a written document that two of the participants in the assembly delivered in the hands of the "Secretary for the Doctrine of the Faith", and another "Cardinal" of the Church in Rome was personally invited in his own home, as well as another retired Roman bishop, who wrote a letter of support.
   
   Only those who were notoriously divided in doctrinal matters or who openly refused the unity with the rest of the faithfuls did not receive a notification.
   
   Among those who were notified and invited, some did not want to go; while others, who really wanted to go and supported the election, were not able to attend. Some people preferred their personal prudence rather than the prudence supported by the duty to be fulfilled. The faithful Catholic World was juridically notified that the divine precept was going to be fulfilled by human actions.



6. From all regions of the world. - Thus, on the announced dates, between the 26^th to the 30^th of June, 1994, clergyman and lay people from all parts of the world, who wanted and were able to be present in Assisi, gathered together to carry out the election of a new leader of the Catholic Church.
   
   First of all, once assembled in the XIII century chapel on the Subasio Mount in Assisi, everybody got acquainted each other making known publicly their own lives, their religious background, their Holy Orders and, even, with humility, their past errors.
   
   Amont those present in the meeting in Assisi there were clergyman and lay people. There were old persons who had been brave fighters for the Catholic cause for many years and others from the best youth of our corrupted times, who were full of enthusiasm in spite of being workers of the eleventh hour.
   
   There were bishops in their eighties, in their sixties, in their fifties and even in their thirties. A good number of nations were represented: New Zealand, the Czech Republic, Germany, the United Kingdom, South Africa, the United States of Amercia, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, etc.
   
   Many other people wanted to attend, but they could not make it because of powerful reasons of health, finances or work duties; however, they made felt their presence by sending letters of support or adhesion to our work, from Italy, Spain, France, Germany, the United States of America, Australia, Ireland, Bolivia, etc.
   
   It was a wonderful sight in Assisi to look at bishops, priests, deacons and lay people united in the Catholic Faith and Charity: doctors and ignorants, holy persons and sinners, from different cultures and latitudes. In the same city where St. Francis said: "Let's go to see the Holy Pope", those Catholics wanted to pray and work iin order to put an end to the long vacancy of the Holy See.
   
   From all regions in the world, physically or spiritually, in Assisi there were faithfuls of Christ united in one faith and in the wish of one government for the Church. One way or the other: the Roman Clergy and People, not in the limited meaning of the physical city of Rome, but the members of the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and ROMAN CHURCH, completely disengated from all sectarian spirit.



7. The Successor of Peter. - The election itself required nine ballots, that took place on June the 28^th and the 29^th, 1994, according, as much as possible, to the rules prescribed by Pius XII in the "Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis". Finally, by unanimous acclamation of all people present in the closed chapel, was elected Reverend Father Victor von Pentz, 41 years, born in 1953 in South Africa from a German and Irish family and presently living in England. He studied in the United States, in the seminary of the Society of St. Pius X in Winona, Minnesota, but was ordained by an Ukrainian Catholic Bishop, so he belongs to the Byzantine Rite of St. John Chrysostome. Because of the delayed or misplaced of the official documents of his ordination, he was ordained "sub conditione" by Bishop Richard Bedingfeld of South Africa.
   
   He was crowned with the triple papal tiara in the solemn Mass of the Coronation according to the traditional rite and he gave his first blessing "Urbi et Orbi" outside the chapel, that was surrounded by olive trees ("De Gloria Olivae", according to the Prophecies of St. Malachy); below, the Valley of Umbria was showing its splendid beauty. The Pope decided to be consecrated bishop by a prelate of the Byzantine Catholic Rite.
   
   It is remarkable that His Holiness firmly refused the acceptance several times when he got the required two third plus one. A night of prayer in the chapel with the celebration of three Masses by Msgr. Korab, and a deep meditation by Fr. Victor, were necessary for his final acceptance. After the acclamation, the bishop who presided the election asked him again: "Acceptasne electionem?" Then, with a trembling voice, he answered: "ACCEPTO". Then he announced the choice of his name: Linus II.
   
   We have mentioned these details here, because they were a providental sign that he was not looking for any earthly honor, but hardly bent his will to the clear call fro the high and thorny position.

3-Call to the Faithfuls. - On announcing the news to all Catholi to show their unity of faith and obedience to the new and true successor of St. Peter.

He certainly will not be accepted by people who will fight against him: by the blind followers of Vatican II, by those who think it is possible that the Church of Christ may be ruled by public heretics, by those who are attached to the errors of the "material pope", by those wo are in favor of a perennial headless in the Church or long for a new Revelation, that will establish a new hierarchy of Holy Orders and of Jurisdiction, etc.

We do not address this communication to the agnostic, liberal and ecumenical press, that defends the heresies of the worship of human beings and the principles of the 1789 Revolution.

We announce this news to the "little flock", scattered throughout the world, and we exhort these faithfuls to render their explicit adhesion to the new and true successor of Peter. The rest may go on in their "freedom for their ruin" as Gregory XVI qualified the freedom of religion.

Therefore, we exhort all Catholics in the world to return to Catholic Tradition, to the doctrines and perennial rites of our ancestors, and to repudiate the heresy, its rites and those who profess them. If anyone inadvertently was deceived by the heresies of these times, please, break with them while there is still time.

We denounce the schismatic spirit of those who are introducing "new sects of destruction" led by their "own prudence", under the false name of "traditionalism". Be aware that the sin of schism is not lesser than the sin of heresy, and that automatically ("ipso facto") palces the person who committed it outside the Church and, remember that "outside the Church there is no salvation".

Let us remember that the only source of jurisdiction comes for everybody throught the true successor of Peter and not through the public heretics... Let us be untied, then, with those who are already unted among themselves and with teh visible Head of the Catholic Church, the new Pope Linus II. It odes not matter that we many be a "little flock" (pusillus grex) if we are loyal to the Catholic Truth and to the perennial Tradition, and, if do not have anything to do with the agnostic freedom of man.

Let everone meditate before God and take the decision of the faith and government under the true Pastor, Vicar of Christ, whose voice Christ's sheep recognize.

4-Final Information.- The same day of his election and coronation His Holiness Linsu II signed two apostolic documents: the first one about the abolition of the "Novus Ordo" and the table of its celebration and ordering the return to the immemorial Mass and to the centuries old rites of the Sacraments, especially of the valid Holy Orders, not later than November 27, 1994, First Sunday of Advent.

The second decree refereed to the rebirth of the College of Cardinals, and the creation of several Cardinals, who will receive their public investiture in a future Consistory, but were already empowered by the Holy Father to elect his successor in cas eof dath, incapacity or abdication. But this document were also appointed Pontifical Legates ("Legati a latere") with ordinary episcopal jurisdiction "pro tempore" or the different regions of the world. The new Pope appointed the Cardinals in charge of the Apostolic Prefecture of the Roman Curia, and granted the award "Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice" to the persons who rendered outstanding services to the Church in order to finish the vacancy.

It was moving the consecration made by the Pope in union with the bishops, who were present, of Russia and the other former Republics that belonged to the Soviet Union, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The following day, June 30^th, 1994, His Holiness Linus II visited Rome, with bishops, clergyman (all in civil clothes) and lay people; they prayed at the tomb of the Apostle St. Peter in St. Peter's Basilica, and then, they went to the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Pope's Cathedral. At St. John Lateran more than fifty "carabinieri" (soldiers) and secret police with guns, prohibited the entrance to our pilgrims and to the Pope, although they ignored his identity. It was a previous of the coming persecution. (Apocalypse 12,17).

This announcement is made in Rome in July, 1994, by orders of Pope LINUS II.

HABEMUS PAPAM!
