To His Eminence Cardinal Dean Gian Battista Re
Gaming, April 24, 2025
On the need to examine before the next Conclave the formal accusation of heresy launched by Archbishop Viganò (and supported by many eminent theologians, jurists, and philosophers from around the world) against Pope Francis
Your Eminence, dear Cardinal Dean Giovanni Battista Re,
Very cordial greetings in Christ. I address you, dear and most venerated Cardinal Dean Re, because you alone now hold the authority for an investigation into the accusation of heresy against Pope Francis to take place before the next Conclave.
You hold until the election of the next Pope the highest authority of the Catholic Church, will invite, in union with Camerlengo Kevin Joseph Cardinal Farrell, the qualified cardinals from all over the world under the age of 80 to elect the new Pope and will be able to determine the date of the next Conclave
I am writing to you with an open letter because of the short time we have left to resolve matters of extreme importance and urgency.
I have discovered through the text J'accuse of Archbishop Viganò two pontifical documents - by the solemn invocation of the See of Peter and their declaration of validity for all time - probably dogmatic and certainly the most authoritative on the question of "heretical bishops, cardinals and popes" by Pope Paul IV and Saint Pius V.[1] These texts seem to me to be of the utmost importance for the Church at the present time.
They solemnly request that the Church carry out an examination of the accusations of papal heresy.
The mere fact of excommunicating an archbishop because he acted exactly as an eminent and holy pope solemnly requested to act in the face of a pope who adhered to heresies before, during, and after his election to the papacy is, I think, gravely wrong and unjust. These accusations should have been examined first, and if they are true, there is absolutely no punishment to be inflicted for making them.
I believe the Church owes it to an excommunicated archbishop and at least four others excommunicated for the same reason, to two popes, and to the faithful to respond to Pope Paul IV's firm insistence that a pope who professes heresy is no longer pope and cannot demand any obedience, as Archbishop Viganò has said, with the important advice that the impropriety of any authority judging a pope does not apply to a heretical pope who merely usurps the See of Peter but, by virtue of his heresy, is not truly pope and has less authority in the Church than any orthodox cardinal or bishop.
The crucial importance of ordering and completing this investigation before the next Conclave is convened lies in the following:
The outcome of the next papal election depends largely on the result of this investigation, for St. Pius V and Pope Paul IV have decreed that all cardinal appointments made by a heretical pope are null and void.
Thus, if the accusation of heresy before, during, and after the election of Pope Francis proves to be true, two-thirds of the current College of Cardinals would be excluded from the Conclave. Therefore, the conclusion of this matter must occur before the next Conclave, otherwise the next papal election will be a priori invalid unless it is first determined whether the greater part of the members of the College of Cardinals are legitimate electors or not, and whether the future Pope-elect belongs to the College of Cardinals or not.
