(LifeSiteNews) –– Costa Rican priest Father Don José Pablo de Jesús Tamayo Rodríguez has charged that Francis is not the legitimate pontiff because he is a Freemason and because Pope Benedict XVI did not fully resign his office.
The 81-year-old retired priest was excommunicated for schism after claiming that Benedict XVI didn’t properly resign from the papacy and remained pope until his death in 2022. The priest also alleged that Francis is a Freemason, making him ipso facto excommunicated from the Church and, therefore, not the pope.
