The Church invites us to commemorate all the faithful departed, turning our gaze toward what lies beyond death—a reality illuminated by the Resurrection of Christ, the sole hope in which human life finds its deepest and most authentic meaning.
The reflection offered by Benedict XVI at the general audience of November 2, 2011.
And further evidence of Benedict XVI’s impeded See.
Let us extend warm thanks to a seasoned Vatican observer for this new evidence regarding the "impeded see" of Benedict XVI. While a meeting on the family is taking place at the Vatican—intended to glorify Bergoglio’s apostolic exhortation *Amoris Laetitia*, which opened the way to Communion for the divorced and remarried—Vaticanist Sandro Magister has published the "extraordinary homily" that the "Pope Emeritus" (that is to say, the true Pope) delivered at his *Mater Ecclesiae* hermitage on the very day the 2015 Synod on the Family opened. This major document, which could have inspired the work of the "Synod Fathers," never reached them. A mystery of the Vatican postal service?
Let us recall Canon 412, which provides the legal definition of an impeded see: "The episcopal see is said to be impeded when, by reason of captivity, banishment (...), the diocesan Bishop is totally unable to exercise his pastoral office in the diocese, such that he cannot communicate even by letter with his diocesans." On October 14, 2015, Benedict XVI—Bishop of Rome—delivered a homily clearly intended for the cardinals gathered in Rome, yet it never reached them. Did someone say "impeded see"?
On 13 September 1917, between 20,000 and 30,000 people gathered in the Cova da Iria, in Fátima (Portugal), to accompany Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto at the fifth apparition of Our Lady. The Miracle of the Sun was still a month away, yet the crowd that had gathered at the site had grown considerably since the first apparitions.
Heaven opens to humanity in the triumph of the Mother of God. The Assumption does not merely celebrate the singular glory of the Mother of God: it reveals to the Church the destiny to which God calls the whole of mankind.
MEETING WITH THE PARISH PRIESTS AND CLERGY OF ROME - ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI
At a time when an artificial schism is looming between the false synodal Church and the FSSPX, with a false interpretation of the Second Vatican Council at stake for both sides, it is appropriate to return to the presentation given to the clergy of Rome by the last true reigning Pope, immediately after his famous 'Declaratio' and shortly before his departure to an impeded see.
A time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. (John 4:23)

The apparitions of Our Lady of Good Success to Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres in Quito, Ecuador, foretold dire events for the 20th and 21st centuries, including the rise of Freemasonry and the decline of faith.
