A Newe Decree

2025

I myself, Pope Rebelius the Black, formerly (and formally) known as Joseph Immanuel Kant of Strasbourg, formally (not formerly) Declare My-Very-Own-Selfe to be the current Anti-Pope of the Catholick churche, wherefore I see fit to begin my reign as Sheperd of the lambs of the flock of the entire Mundus, that being, the earthe.

Indeed, running Contrary to any other anti Pope priore to myself, whom have declared themselves to be In-Fact-And-In-Deed, the concurrent Pope of the Church, I declare myself to be the One and True Anti-Pope. Forsooth, as a Wise-Man once said, Any Pope Is In-Fact An Antipope From An-Opposite Perspecktive. Ita vero, the declaration of my being a Prætender to the Popacy, shall only Enhance my legitimacy, according to th' lawes o' Reverse-Psychologie.

Me first decree as Anti-Pope shall be me first decree as Anti-Pope. Ho-hum & Huzzah.

Decleration dated the Ides of March, 1125 A. D.
