but who don’t have a regular media presence
In a previous article I mentioned priests like James Altman or David Nix, who have publicly declared that “Francis” is an antipope and who have their own media channels. In this article, I am going to mention some priests who have stated publicly that they do not believe Jorge Bergoglio to be the pope either due to his heresy or due to the invalidity of Benedict XVI’s resignation or both.
Note: Čáp, Benko and Brother Celestino all appear on Radio Domina Nostra, the media platform of Alessandro Minutella. Minutella is an Italian priest, who started speaking out in 2016 that Bergoglio is not the pope. However, he has reportedly made some questionable statements. This article is not an endorsement of him.
