Roma Locuta Est

March 6, 2025 (Steven O’Reilly) – A few days ago, I was interviewed by Christine Harrington on her podcast channel Eternal Life Plan.

On the show, we discussed my recent article that explains how we can be sure Benedict XVI resigned freely (see Pope Benedict XVI Resigned Freely).  The article examines (1) why the former Archbishop Vigano does not have credibility on the topic of whether Benedict resigned under pressure; (2) why the Vatican ATM shut off in early February does not point to pressure on Benedict XVI; and (3) the clear evidence Benedict resigned freely.

One can see the discussion on Christine’s YouTube channel, here:

Thanks again to Christine Harrington for having me on her show!

Other resources providing arguments which disprove the claims of the Benepapists (i.e., those who believe Benedict’s resignation was invalid for one reason or another) may be found here:

1. The book Valid? The Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI (may be found on Amazon, and other online book sellers).
2.  On this blog, Roma Locuta Est, the links to various arguments against the Benepapist claims may be found in the following articles: The Case against those who claim “Benedict is (still) pope” and Summa Contra the BiP Theory (Why Benedict XVI is NOT the pope).
3. On my YouTube channel, one may find a over a dozen videos which provides arguments against Benepapist claims.
