Bergoglio comes in his own name not as Vicar of Christ

Now It’s Official: Even Bergoglio AKA Francis Doesn’t Consider Himself a True Pope

en.news The 2020 Pontifical Yearbook made it official that Francis is not “pope” the way his predecessors were pope.

Last year’s Yearbook still presented Jorge Mario Bergoglio as:

Vicar of Jesus Christ

Successor of the Prince of the Apostles

Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church

Primate of Italy

Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Province of Rome

Sovereign of the Vatican City State

Servant of the Servants of God

Now, Bergoglios first and only title is “Jorge Mario Bergoglio.” This name is followed by his biography which occupies two-thirds of the page.

The real titles of a true Pope are now only mentioned in small print after the biography under the header "Historic titles" (“Titoli storici”).

With this, the Vatican confirms that the pope as the successor of Saint Peter has become a phenomenon of the past, while Bergoglio, as a "pope," is celebrating himself.

Already Benedict XVI fiddled around with the titles of the Roman Pontiff when, in March 2006, without a good reason, he got rid of the title “Patriarch of the West.”

John 5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; if another comes in his own name, you will accept him.

Viganò: This Was Not a Gesture of “Humility”

en.news It’s impossible to attribute the changes in the Pontifical Yearbook “to a gesture of humility,” because this is not in keeping with Bergoglio’s name being so prominently featured, Archbishop Viganò writes on Patreon.com (April 4).

For Viganó it “seems possible” to see in this the admission of a “usurpation,” which indicates that Bergoglio has disavowed the Pontifical titles and reigns now the Church as a private person.

Viganò considers this as an act by which Bergoglio becomes “a tyrant” who is “free to demolish the Church from within, without having to answer to anyone.”

He wonders whether Bergoglio's efforts to rehabilitate Judas “were not a clumsy attempt to exonerate himself.”
