Editor’s Note: In the USA the Left makes sure problems return when the Right is in power. And in 5.5 years that is likely to happen at Rome. So this sentence is not so much as a punishment, as it is the instrumentalization of a legal system to promote ecclesiastical disorder.
It can only be hoped — and let us pray for it — that the Cardinal now begins to sing about all the corruption in the Bergoglian pontificate, beginning with all the crimes he has committed against canon 1364, for which a Provincial Council can depose him as a heretic, schismatic or apostate. — Though, we cannot discount, that like the critics of the Clintons, he may not see the day for his first cantata.
Vatican trial defendants sentenced to total of 37 years in prison

N.B.: Bergoglio modified the canon you refer to with
Pascite gregem Dei

Since he had not the Petrine Munus in 2021, he had as much authority to modify Canon Law as a drunk on the corner in front of Parliament to issue a law.
That’s why I wrote ‘Bergoglio’, and not Pope Francis.
By the way, are you aware that Il Sismografo stops publishing (in defense of Pope Francis) because of the Becciu Affair?
