CWN Editor's Note: An Argentine-born priest serving in the Italian archdiocese of Sassari has been laicized, having been found guilty of schism, for arguing that Pope Francis is an anti-pope.
Father Fernando Maria Cornet, the author of a book entitled Habemus Antipapam, made the argument that the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI was not valid. The Vatican took disciplinary action after an investigation launched when Archbishop Gian Franco Saba denounced the disloyalty of priests who questioned the Pontiff’s leadership.
