A Rebuttal of Benepapist claims regarding Benedict and Apostolic Blessings

June 13, 2024 (Steven O’Reilly) – After a brief hiatus, I have begun producing some additional videos on topics related to Benepapism. The most recent offering is Episode 15 of my series on Benepapism on my Youtube channel (HERE),  

This new video replies to Benepapist claims regarding the title of “pope emeritus,” Benedict wearing white after his resignation, and the question of Apostolic Blessings.  The new video is titled: 

Also, as a side note, the RomaLocutaEst blog had previously published an article on the topic of Apostolic Blessings in the context of the Benepapist controversy (see Benepapists and their false claims about Apostolic Blessings).

This and other arguments against Benepapist claims can be found in an article series titled The Case against those who claim “Benedict is (still) pope”.

In addition, there is also my book which refutes the claims of Benepapism, titled: Valid? The Resignation of Benedict XVI. The book is available in Kindle, paperback, and in audio formats.
