The following posts found here show some very simple and straightforward explanations as to why Benedict cannot be considered the current reigning Pope.  The posts are in the form of rebuttals. 

Let us keep in mind that while the Conciliar popes have been seemingly never-ending sources of scandal, beginning with the 'hell on earth' unleashed by Pope Paul VI under whose pontificate nearly every Sacrament was changed, the Holy Mass was changed, etc., Archbishop Lefebvre, who arguably lived under the worst of these days, did not dare to assume the authority to declare Paul VI or JPII (with his profanations of Assisi I and II) not to be the popes. He humbly and wisely left that up to the Church to decide, which echoes what St. Francis de Sales said regarding a bad pope, "the Church must either deprive him or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See..."

Please too, keep in mind these words of Archbishop Lefebvre as you read the posts linked above:

Quote:The Liberalism of Paul VI, recognized by his friend, Cardinal Daniélou, is thus sufficient to explain the disasters of his pontificate. Pope Pius IX, in particular, spoke often of the Liberal Catholic, whom he considered a destroyer of the Church. The Liberal Catholic is a two-sided being, living in a world of continual self-contradiction. While he would like to remain Catholic, he is possessed by a thirst to appease the world. He affirms his faith weakly, fearing to appear too dogmatic, and as a result, his actions are similar to those of the enemies of the Catholic Faith.

Can a Pope be Liberal and remain Pope? The Church has always severely reprimanded Liberal Catholics, but she has not always excommunicated them. Here, too, we must continue in the spirit of the Church. We must refuse Liberalism from whatever source it comes because the Church has always condemned it. She has done so because it is contrary, in the social realm especially, to the Kingship of Our Lord.

Does not the exclusion of the cardinals of over eighty years of ages, and the secret meetings which preceded and prepared the last two Conclaves, render them invalid? Invalid: no, that is saying too much. Doubtful at the time: perhaps. But in any case, the subsequent unanimous acceptance of the election by the Cardinals and the Roman clergy suffices to validate it. That is the teaching of the theologians.

The visibility of the Church is too necessary to its existence for it to be possible that God would allow that visibility to disappear for decades. The reasoning of those who deny that we have a Pope puts the Church in an inextricable situation. Who will tell us who the future Pope is to be? How, as there are no Cardinals, is he to be chosen? This spirit is a schismatical one for at least the majority of those who attach themselves to certainly schismatical sects like Palmar de Troya, the Eglise Latine de Toulouse, and others.

Our Fraternity (the old SSPX) absolutely refuses to enter into such reasonings.

We wish to remain attached to Rome and to the Successor of Peter, while refusing his Liberalism through fidelity to his predecessors. We are not afraid to speak to him, respectfully but firmly, as did St. Paul with St. Peter.

And so, far from refusing to pray for the Pope, we redouble our prayers and supplications that the Holy Ghost will grant him light and strength in his affirmations and defense of the Faith.

• Perfect and sincere charity, which is from a "pure heart and good conscience and a faith not feigned" (1 Tim. 1:5) can be in catechumens as well as in penitents without the remission of sins.
  
• That charity which is the fullness of the law is not always connected with the remission of sins.
  
• A catechumen lives justly and rightly and holily, and observes the commandments of God, and fulfills the law through charity, which is only received in the laver of Baptism, before the remission of sins has been obtained.
  

"Pandemic Treaty" Will Hand WHO Keys To Global Government

Quote:Real risk a pandemic treaty could be ‘too watered down’ to stop new outbreaks

Quote:Our biggest fear […] is it’s too easy to think that accountability doesn’t matter. To have a treaty that does not have compliance in it, well frankly then there’s no point in having a treaty,”

Quote:For this treaty to have teeth, the organisation that governs it needs to have the power – either political or legal – to enforce compliance.

Quote:In its current form, the WHO does not possess such powers […]

Quote:In case of a declared health emergency, resources need to flow to countries in which the emergency is occurring, triggering response elements such as financing and technical support. These are especially relevant for LMICs, and could be used to encourage and enhance the timely sharing of information by states, reassuring them that they will not be subject to arbitrary trade and travel sanctions for reporting, but instead be provided with the necessary financial and technical resources they require to effectively respond to the outbreak.

Quote:[The treaty should possess] An adaptable incentive regime, [including] sanctions such as public reprimands, economic sanctions, or denial of benefits.

• If you report “disease outbreaks” in a “timely manner”, you will get “financial resources” to deal with them.
  
• If you don’t report disease outbreaks, or don’t follow the WHO’s directions, you will lose out on international aid and face trade embargoes and sanctions.
  

Quote:Future declarations of a PHEIC by the WHO Director-General should be based on the precautionary principle where warranted

Goffine's Devout Instructions, 1896, Part Third, pp. 466-478

• Baptism of desire is an earnest wish to obtain Baptism, joined to perfect contrition and love for God. In such a case those conditions are present that are necessary to a valid reception; for if the possibility do not exist God regards the good will, and takes the will for the deed.
  

• Baptism of blood is a voluntary martyr's death for the sake of Christ. The constancy which gives up life itself includes faith, charity, desire, and contrition.
