Challenge to All Who Object to Pope Michael's Election as Pope
The Second Ecumenical Council of Lyons in Canon 3 declares: That we may, so far as possible, put an end to malice in the matter of elections, postulations, and ecclesiastical collations, lest a prolonged vacancy prove dangerous to the Churches, or the collation of dignities and other ecclesiastical benefices be delayed, we decree that it as times some object to elections, postulations, or collation, or by finding fault in the form of the election, postulation, or collation, or with the person of the one to whom a benefice is to be given or has already been given, and on this account happen to appeal, those who make the appeal must state in a public document of in letters and in the presence of an authorized person or persons who must bear witness to the truth in the matter, everything to which they intend to object in the matter of form or persons, and they must take an oath that they believe those things which they expressed in the document are true and that they can prove them.
Until Benns and anyone else who has an objection present said objection in due canonical form, no one on earth has any reason to even consider it. Canon Law is clear on this point, and this law binds all baptized people.
In response to contact by a third party KNZ, Pope Michael waived his right under Canon 1622 to be present. Objectors need ony prepare a written document,adn execute it in due legal form (notarized in the United States) and send it registered mail to Pope Michael at Box 74, Delia, KS 66418-0074. Pope Michael will then respond in a similar manner, publishing all here to the internet.
Canon 1622: Whenever the oath is taken either by the judges, or the officials of the court, or the litigants, witnesses, or experts, it must always be taken under the invocation of the Divine Name, priests meanwhile touching their breasts and laymen touching the Book of the Gospels. In administering the oath to the litigants, witnesses and experts, the judge shall regularly remind them of the sacredness of the act, or the very serious nature of the crime of perjury, and of the penalties to which one becomes liable who, after being sworn, tells a falsehood in court. The oath shall be taken according to a formula approved by the judge, shall be taken in the presence of this judge or his delegate, and in the presence of both or either of the parties, if they desire to be present when the oath is tendered.
