An Italian priest was declared excommunicated this month, after a December video in which he referred to Pope Francis as an “antipope.”
The priest is the latest case in a growing series of Italian priests excommunicated or suspended for rejecting papal authority in recent months.
The Diocese of Palestrina announced in a statement dated Jan. 20 that Fr. Natale Santonocito “in accordance with canons 751 and 1364 §1 of the Code of Canon Law has incurred ipso facto in excommunication latae sententiae, with the effects and consequences set forth in Can. 1331 of the Code of Canon Law.”
Fr. Santonocito posted a video on Dec. 8, 2024, in which he said “we’ve had an antipope for the past 11 years. The so-called Francis is not the pope and has never been, because Benedict XVI did not resign the papacy on February 11, 2013.”
