Don Natale Santonocito, a priest of the Italian diocese of Palestrina, has stated in online videos that Francis is not the pope and was excommunicated in a decree dated January 20.
Already in early December, Don Santonocito's priestly faculties were restricted. He appeared in person at a December 17 trial and reiterated his positions.
Don Santonocito believes that Benedict XVI never renounced his papacy [despite Benedict XVI's own affirmation] and that Francis' election was therefore invalid.
Similar statements from him have been brought to the canonical trial and resulted in the most severe punishment of excommunication. It was pronounced by Bishop Mauro Parmeggiani of Tivoli and Palestrina.
Had he denied the existence of God or engaged in homosexual propaganda, Francis' Church would not have touched him.
