They are claiming that Francis is not a real pope.
They state that the election was invalid.
All these things are errors and may indicate a person has fallen into heresy.
As far as we know from the mouth of Benedict himself, God moved him to resigned. Then, a more liberal pope was elected and a Jesuit to boot.
Here is my take on Francis and what is happening.
Since the early 19th Century, Modernism has plagued the Church.
Modernism is now seen clearly, perhaps for the first time, by some who were not paying attention to the heretics in the Church. There are many heretics wearing red robes.
I believe that this putrid sore of Modernism was lanced by the Pope Emeritus. In other words, the purification and renewal of the Church can only come when the poison of heresies is revealed.
If, indeed God told Benedict to step down it was in order to cleanse the Church openly, in public, and to strengthen the holy remnant.
The Church will prevail.
Matthew 16:18 Douay-Rheims
18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Benedict could not rally all the support he needed to combat this great evil of unbelieving cardinals and bishops.
The present pope, in my opinion, did not realize the effect the heretics would have on the Synod and more importantly on the orthodox laity, who made a fuss, thank God. He allowed a mess. If he did allow this level of manipulation on purpose, pray for him.
Pray for the Pope. He can change some of his own views or supposed views.
Our prayers may stop a schism.
Now the whole world sees the factions.
We need to pray for Holy Mother Church and the good leaders.
Benedict is not against the office of the Pope.
He is against error, and unorthodoxy, but not the office of the Pope.
I would not use political terms.
This is spiritual warfare.
God is allowing evil for a greater good.
The lancing of the wound.
The fight is spiritual so the antidote has to be spiritual
