Viganò: Pope Benedict XVI Suffered From Stockholm Syndrome

Joseph Ratzinger has always been in line with the Vatican II ideology and its supporters, Archbishop Carlo Viganò told RadioSpada.org (March 11).

He explains that Ratzinger applied the wrong vulgar Hegelian approach of "thesis," "antithesis" and "synthesis" to the Church, like:

Thesis: the texts of Vatican II
Antithesis: the post-Conciliar excesses
Synthesis: the "hermeneutics of continuity"

He did the same when he invented the title "Papa emeritus":

Thesis: Pope
Antithesis: no longer pope
Synthesis: remaining pope in part

Ratzinger aimed at solving the Church’s crisis by putting opposites together, Viganò explains objecting that the only way to restore the Church is by following the Gospel knowing that Good and Evil cannot be put together because they are and remain irreconcilable and opposed.

Viganò explains that Benedict XVI surrounded himself with inadequate, unreliable or corrupt collaborators, who largely took advantage of his 'mildness'. Further, according to Viganò, he suffered from Stockholm syndrome especially regarding Cardinal Bertone and Archbishop Georg Gänswein.

Stockholm syndrome is a psychological reaction wherein a captive begins to identify with his captors and their agenda.

Unfortunately, Archbishop Vigano is one of the only prelates that has spoken out against the madness of our day. His repeated messages and elevated coloring of his language to many has become white noise or they have become critical of his repetition.
I'm thankful for his efforts all the same. It certainly can't be easy trying to wake up the sleeping masses.

And Vigano’s syndromes are so numerous that the ICD 10 is being re edited to include them.

Since Herr Ratzinger was one of the architects of Vatican Council II, he wasn't a "captive", he was setting that agenda. Abp Vigano is cleverly apologizing for Benedict's legacy through the guise of some inaccurate "criticism".

From an Address by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, given July 13, 1988 (The Anniversary of the Third Secret of Fatima), in Santiago, Chile before that nation's bishops:

"The Second Vatican Council has not been treated as a part of the entire living Tradition of the Church, but as an end of Tradition, a new start from zero. The truth is that this particular Council defined no dogma at all, and deliberately chose to remain on a modest level, as a merely pastoral council; and yet many treat it as though it had made itself into a sort of “super-dogma” which takes away the importance of all the rest.

This idea is made stronger by things that are now happening. That which previously was considered most holy—the form in which the liturgy was handed down—suddenly appears as the most forbidden of all things, the one thing that can safely be prohibited. It is intolerable to criticize decisions which have been taken since the Council; on the other hand, if men make question of ancient rules, or even of the great truths of the Faith—for instance, the corporal virginity of Mary, the bodily resurrection of Jesus, the immortality of the soul, etc.—nobody complains or only does so with the greatest moderation. I myself, when I was a professor, have seen how the very same bishop who, before the Council, ad fired a teacher who was really irreproachable, for a certain crudeness of speech, was not prepared, after the Council, to dismiss a professor who openly denied certain fundamental truths of the Faith.

All this leads a great number of people to ask themselves if the Church of today is really the same as that of yesterday, or if they have changed it for something else without telling people. The one way in which Vatican II can be made plausible is to present it as it is; one part of the unbroken, the unique Tradition of the Church and of her faith."

Continuing his diagnosis, he [Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger] recalls that this "true" Council, "already during its sessions [Vatican II] and then increasingly in the subsequent period, was opposed by a self-styled ‘spirit of the Council’, which in reality is a true ‘anti-spirit’ of the Council. According to this pernicious anti-spirit [Konzils-Ungeist in German], everything that is ‘new’ (or presumed such: how many old heresies have surfaced again in recent years that have been presented as something new!) is always and in every case better than what has been or what is. It is the anti-spirit according to which the history of the Church would first begin with Vatican II, viewed as a kind of point zero." - The Ratzinger Report: an exclusive interview on the state of the Church (Rapporto Sulla Fede), 1985, by Vittorio Messori, p. 34-35

When Pope Benedict XVI was still Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, around 1990 he revealed to his friend [Fr. Ingo Döllinger] that in the Third Secret of Fatima Our Lady warns not to change the liturgy. Our Lady warned against changing the Mass and there would be an evil [an iniquitous] Council in the Church.
The elderly German priest [Father Ingo Döllinger], Ratzinger’s long-time personal friend, took note of the fact that when this vision of the Third Secret was published on June 26, 2000 it did not contain those things, those elements of the Third Secret that Cardinal Ratzinger had revealed to him nearly ten years earlier. The German priest, Father Ingo Döllinger, told me [Father Paul Kramer] that his question was burning in his mind on the day he concelebrated with Cardinal Ratzinger. Father Döllinger said to me [Father Paul Kramer], “I [Father Ingo Döllinger] confronted Cardinal Ratzinger to his face.” And of course he asked Cardinal Ratzinger, “How can this be the entire Third Secret? Remember what you told me before?” Cardinal Ratzinger was cornered. He didn’t know what to say and so he blurted out to his friend in German, “Wirklich gebt das der etwas” which means, “Really there is something more there,” meaning there is something more in the Third Secret. The Cardinal stated this quite plainly. - The first published account of Fr. Ingo Döllinger’s testimony (of which we are aware) appeared in an interview with Fr. Paul Kramer in Fatima Crusader Issue #92 in May of 2009.

Question: This is an amazing story. Is Father Döllinger a credible witness?
Answer by Father Paul Kramer: I can say this much, we’re talking about an elderly priest, a long-time personal friend of Pope Benedict XVI, a man who was a long-time personal acquaintance of St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina. In fact, he told me he had gone to confession to Padre Pio 58 times. This is a man who for many years was the Rector of a seminary in South America; a man who is highly esteemed, who is of great reputation in the Church. I would also point out that in the diocese where he worked what I have said about the Third Secret, what Cardinal Ratzinger revealed to him, was common knowledge among the young priests who were seminarians and deacons at the time this man was Rector. They all know the story that Cardinal Ratzinger had told him. As I mentioned, they had even put together a dossier and sent it to Cardinal Ratzinger. So he is a man of great credibility, worthy of credence; a man of great seriousness who is not given over to making up fabulous stories, or exaggerating self-importance. The man had no need of such things; he’s a man of utmost credibility.

Father Döllinger was himself also involved with the German Bishops’ Conference’s discussions concerning freemasonry in the 1970s at the end of which came the statement that freemasonry is not compatible with the Catholic Faith.

(Another account of the same story…)

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger told a personal friend, a German priest and former professor of theology in Brazil (Father Ingo Döllinger) that Our Lady warned that there would be an evil Council in the Church that would cause great scandal. Not long after the June 26, 2000 publication of the Third Secret of Fatima by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger told Fr. Döllinger during an in-person conversation that there is still a part of the Third Secret that they have not published! “There is more than what we published,” Ratzinger said. He also told Döllinger that the published part of the Secret is authentic and that the unpublished part of the Secret speaks about “a bad council and a bad Mass” that was to come in the near future.

“What we have published is not the whole secret.” “We were instructed to do so.” – Gottfried Kiniger’s recorded conversation with Father Ingo Döllinger

"Today the Church is experiencing a moment of anxiety. Some practice self-criticism, one would even say in auto-demolition [self-destruction]. It is like an acute and complex interior upheaval, which no one would have expected after the Council." - Pope Paul VI on Saturday, 7 December 1968 during an Address to the members of the Pontifical Lombard Seminary

“Referring to the situation of the Church today, the Holy Father states that he has the feeling that, from some fissure [crack] the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God” [...]
“It was believed that after the Council would come a day of sunshine in the history of the Church. But instead there has come a day of clouds and storms and of darkness.” [...]
“How did this happen? The Pope confides his thoughts to those present: that there has been the intervention of an adverse [adversarial] power. His name is the devil, this mysterious being which is also alluded to in the Letter of St. Peter.” - Pope Paul VI, June 29, 1972 on the 9th Anniversary of his coronation during the homily given at Mass for the Solemnity of St. Peter and St. Paul with 30 cardinals in attendance

"The tail of the devil is functioning in the disintegration of the Catholic world. The darkness of Satan has entered and spread throughout the Catholic Church even to its summit. Apostasy, the loss of the faith, is spreading throughout the world and into the highest levels within the Church." - Pope Paul VI, October 13, 1977 in a formal address marking the 60th Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun as quoted in the Milan-based daily Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, p. 7 of its issue dated October 14, 1977

Benedict resigned, repeatedly said he resigned, and fully endorsed his successor.. That means his successor isn't an antipope. What it DOES mean is you don't know what you're talking about.

Gotta love a guy who claims a man is a pope and then, two paragraphs later implies "the pope" is a liar, held captive, etc. You don't respect Benedict any more than you do "Bergoglio". You've turned Benedict into the same kind of puppet you've accused "Bergoglio", Ganswein, et al. of doing.

TLDR as @Cuthbert Mayne so aptly put it, Benedict, the man you pretend is pope, says you're wrong. You can't be any more wrong than that.

I've already disproved your claims under your previous accounts. Heresy is a formal charge in the Catholic Church. It's not yours to make and you have no authority to convict. So your standard stink as badly as your reasoning.

"Second, what B16 thinks isn't important, Canon Law is."

...and I've beaten you on Canon Law often enough. Once again, you're talking about Canon Law, you're not actually presenting it. Typical BS rhetorical trick of yours.

" You are wedded to your belief, so be it."

...said the guy who once deleted my comment when it disproved his own beliefs. Cool story, bro. Your notion of truth is as laughable as your facts.

"Everyone knows who I am. I don't care. You don't threaten or intimidate me."

Be grateful I don't consider you important enough to do either. ;-)

"And if I get kicked off for being Catholic, well I'll be back."

You're banned for being breaking GTV's rules which has nothing to do with "being Catholic". You'll get banned again, when you're back. Or, perhaps GTV's webmaster will take a more active interest in preventing your return.

"You're as Catholic as Bergolio. Worse actually, since you pretend fidelity."

Pope Francis is the Pope and it is the duty of all Catholics to recognize that or else fall into schism the way wretches like you and that tax-evading buffoon Anne Barnhardt have apparently already done.

I don't have to "come at you" because a.) you're just repeating your same old claims absent any facts. This is Goebbels-Jimmy at his finest. b.) you won't be here that long anyway.

@Scapular "Pope" Benedict hasn't been pope for almost a decade now and has repeatedly explained this. What part of it aren't you getting? You're a nice guy but this kind of talk 1.) is not cool. 2.) is totally against GTV's rules and 3.) posting stuff that counts as 2.) can get the Angel Of Death mod's attention.
