US Archbishop Installed Without Papal Bull – Francis Couldn't Sign
Archbishop Edward Weisenburger was installed as Archbishop of Detroit on March 18 without a papal bull, reports the Substack-account 'The Pillar'.
The Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, simply wrote his own decree.
The appointment was announced by the Vatican on February 11. Shortly thereafter, Francis was admitted to the hospital.
The papal bull of appointment is normally required for a bishop to take possession of his new diocese.
The nuncio said: "I'm sorry, because normally I should have shown you the bulla, that is normally signed by the Holy Father. Unfortunately, as you know, because of his sickness, the Holy Father was unable to sign it."
Cardinal Pierre added that he had prepared a decree of his own. "Don’t worry, it is all legal. I can see that some canon lawyers are already worried — I don’t know why."
It is expected that the papal bull will arrive later.
The step is unusual, but possible. No one doubts the appointment of Archbishop Weisenburger. …More
Maybe before answering all sorts of ridiculous answers, people should read what the canon law says... Its specifies in canon 1013 that in certain exceptional situations, a priest can be ordained bishop before receiving the approval from the Pope. This situation is exactly one of these exceptional situations.
Archbishop Christophe Pierre told the congregation that he had written his own decree authorizing the archbishop’s installation. And, don’t worry, he told people, “it’s all legal.”
How valid would it be if Jorge signed it, but is himself, not validly the Pope, because of all the Canon Laws & Apostolic Constitution Laws broken in the process of him coming to the Chair of Peter....plus of course his being a manifest public heretic from that same Chair. Would all the orthodox Cardinals & Canon Lawyers please do their job with respect to this Canon Law shemozzle relating to Jorge's s validity/invalidity?!?!?! Or do they all think a Pope can give the go-ahead for divorced/remarried Catholics to receive Communion sacrilegiously....and still be a valid Pope. Gimme a break!!!
