II.   Sovereign

The Vicarius Christi (Latin for “Vicar of Christ”) is the title of the supreme spiritual and temporal head of the Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) and the World since its creation in the Carolingian Dynasty in the 8th Century.  The Venetian-Magyar families assumed the title for their false popes of the Roman Cult, also known as the “Holy See” from the 15th Century after the collapse of the last of the French Popes.

The title Vicarius Christi ( “Vicar of Christ”) has always been the primary title of the true leader of the Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) since it was first formed in the 8th Century. An official not properly installed as a Vicarius Christi cannot claim to be leader of any Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church), no matter what extraordinary counter claims are made.

From its inception in the 8th Century, by the Canon Law of the Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church), the Vicarius Christi is elected by special delegates of ecclesiastical and laity known as Electors Palatine at a special Consistorium, (“Consistory”) known as a “Conclave”.  The first Conclave in history occurred as part of the Consistorium of 742 in Paris at which Carloman, the eldest son of Charles Martel was made Vicarius Christi Zacharias. However, Zacharias was not officially installed into the office until his coronation in Rome in 751 CE.

The original Electors Palatine for a Vicarius Christi from the 8th Century were the Primates and Lords of Britannia, Scotia, Neustria, Aquitania, Austrasia, Frisia, Burgundia and Alamannia. Under Charlamagne, the Electors Palatine were added for Saxonia, Bohemia, Moravia, Bavaria, Carinthia, Pannonia and Croatia.

From its inception in the 8th Century, by the Canon Law of the Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church), once the Vicarius Christi is elected by the Electors Palatine and Electors Vaticano in a locked Consistorium called a Conclave, he must then be officially installed through the Sacrament of Coronation. By the first and original Canons of the Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) from the 8th Century, a Vicarius Christi that has not undergone the Sacrament of Coronation has no authority, nor does any instrument issued under his reign.

As the first and fundamental Canons of Law of the Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) from the 8th Century granted the right to elect the Vicarius Christi not only to Primates and later Cardinals but to those laity named Electors Palatine, a leader not elected by at least one Elector Palatine can never claim to be head of any Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church), no matter what counter argument is used.

From the first formation of the Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) until the last true Catholic Pope (Vicarius Christi) reigned in Rome, there were twenty eight (28) Vicarius Christi, including:

(i) Vicarius Christi Zacharias (741-752) (Carloman, eldest son of Charles Martel) (Rome)

(ii) Vicarius Christi Stephen (752-772) (Carloman, eldest son of Vicarius Christi Zacharias) (Rome)

(v) Vicarius Christi Stephen II (816-817) (Rome)

(vi) Vicarius Christi Paschal (817-824) (Rome)

(xiv) Vicarius Christi Leo IV (936-949) (in exile)

(xv) Vicarius Christi Stephen V (949-952) (Hugh of Vermandois) (in exile)

(xvi) Vicarius Christi Leo VI (952-974) (Arnoul, son of Lothair)

(xvii) Vicarius Christi Sylvester (974-1012) (Gérard of Aurillac)

(xviii) Vicarus Christi Nicholas (1012-1046)

(xix) Vicarus Christi Clement (1046-1049) (Rome)

(xx) Vicarus Christi Leo (1049-1056) (Rome)

(xxi) Vicarus Christi Stephen (1056-1080) (in exile)

(xxii) Vicarus Christi Clement (1080-1100) (Rome)

(xxiii) Vicarus Christi Paschal II (1100-1119) (Rome)

(xxiv) Vicarus Christi Sylvester (1119-1143)

(xxv) Vicarus Christi Celestine (1143-1144)

(xxvi) Vicarus Christi Eugine (1145-1153)

(xxvii) Vicarus Christi Adrian (1154-1164)

(xxviii) Vicarus Christi Paschal (1164-1175) (Rome)

The first elections of leaders of a Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) under the control of the Venetians using electors palatine was in the 13th Century with successful bribery of a range of families across Europe to pledge loyalty to the Venetian model of the church including the Plantagenet of England, Habsburgs of Zurich, the Wittelsbach of Bavaria and the Guelfs of Saxony.

The last Pope of the Roman Cult claiming to be Vicarius Christi and to be approved by an Elector Palatine and the “legitimate” right of leader of the Catholic Church was Pope Benedict XV (1914-1922) under Franz Joseph I (1848-1916) of the Austria-Hungary Empire and last great patriarch of the Habsburgs. His successor, Charles I of Austria (1916-1918) was pushed from the throne ending the last of the Elector Palatine.

As no Pope since Pope Benedict XV (1914-1922) has been technically elected nor approved by an Elector Palatine and since the last Elector Palatine was removed in 1918, no Pope of the Roman Cult since 1918 may be ecclesiastically, legally, lawfully or historically regarded as the legitimate and valid leader of any Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) including, but not limited to:

(i) Pius XI (1922-1939) was not approved by any valid Elector Palatine; and

(ii) Pius XII (1939-1958) was not approved by any valid Elector Palatine; and

(iii) John XXIII (1958-1963) was not approved by any valid Elector Palatine; and

(iv) Paul VI (1963-1978) was not approved by any valid Elector Palatine; and

(v) John Paul I (1978) was not approved by any valid Elector Palatine; and

(vi) John Paul II (1978-2005) was not approved by any valid Elector Palatine; and

(vii) Benedict XVI (2005 - ) was not approved by any valid Elector Palatine.

As no Pope since Paul VI (1963-1978) has undergone the sacrament of Coronation, no leader of the Roman Cult since 1978 may be ecclesiastically, legally, lawfully or historically regarded as the legitimate and valid leader of any Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church), or Vicarius Christi, or Roman Pontiff, or Pope including, but not limited to:

(i) John Paul I (1978) did not received the Sacrament of Coronation; and

(ii) John Paul II (1978-2005) did not received the Sacrament of Coronation; and

(iii) Benedict XVI (2005 -) did not received the Sacrament of Coronation.

As there has been no legal or lawful leader of the Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) that complies technically with “Sacre Loi” (Sacred Law) since 1922, any and all subsequent laws, financial transactions, actions and activities by any agent or administrator deriving their claimed authority directly or indirectly from the Vatican are invalid, having no force nor effect in law.

As there has been no claimed leader of the Catholic Church that has undergone the Sacrament of Coronation since 1963, since 1978 no official of the Vatican may claim sovereign status, nor may the state still claim its rightful sovereign status and all laws, edicts, rulings, promulgations since 1978 are illegal, unlawful and without any authority.
