Dead Zhong - Dead Wrong
l'affair 'Pius XIV'
Against the Fraud Being Perpetuated by the Zhongist 'Papal Claim,' i.e. that of 'Pius XIV' aka Fr. Robert Zhong, S.J. aka Bishop Joseph Zong Huai-de etc.
©Prax J. Maskaren. (Prakash John Mascarenhas) of Bombay, India. 14th April, 2003. Continually revised.This page has been created to expose and combat the fraud perpetuated and being perpetuated by the Zhongists, who are, principally, Robert Zhong alias Robert Borgia and his accomplice Wen Cheng, and also Hans Lorenz, an 'Old Catholic' or Dollingerite. A Robert Chung was involved in it, and though I am not at all satisfied by his account or his disavowal, I accept his assertion that he has abandoned Zhongism.
I request you all, to whom I addressing this notice, to kindly further broadcast this message, this exposure of this fraud so that souls are put on their guard against being seduced and misled by these conmen. I request you to do so even when you are not Conclavists or Sedevacantists, etc., and whatever your own ideological position is, so that souls are put on alert against being seduced.
I also call upon the Zhongists to individually and collectively come clean, confess the truth and cease their mischievous activities.
Conclavism is the movement that aims to supply the Church with a legitimate Roman Pontiff by the alternate means that Church theologians, doctors, popes, etc., had outlined over the ages and in response to various crises, such as the schism of the antipope 'Anacletus II' the Pierleonite, and of the Great Western Schism, etc.
At the moment, there are two distinct - and consecutive papal claims resulting out of the actions of various Conclavists.
These are Mr. David Bawden, in 1990, and who took the name of Pope Michael the 1st and the Byzantine Uniate Fr. Victor von Pentz in 1994, and who took the name Pope Linus 2nd.
There is a third similar claimant, Fr. Lucianus Pulvermacher who takes the name of Pope Pius XIII, but he has been more than adequately and incontrovertibly proven a New Age heretic from prior to his ordination as a priest!
A Gordon Bateman was Lucianus' closest associate, and by him made into a 'Cardinal.' However, when Bateman discovered that Lucianus was practising Occultism and had been doing so from before his ordination in the 1950s, and contumacious in that crime, he exposed him and abandoned him.
Later, Gordon Bateman, through his relatives, the Mildenhalls of Western Australia, set up the St. Gabriel group to investigate and facilitate union of the various 'Conclavist' factions, and to also gain a larger adherence, by bringing in the Sedevacantists. For this work, St. Gabriel set up a list of contactees, whose messages they forwarded to the list.
One such message that was forwarded me was from a group that pretended that there had been recently a Conclave organized in China PRC or Taiwan (China ROC) with some seventy-five priests and bishops participating and which resulted in the election of a priest dating back from Pope Pius XII's time, Robert Zhong, S.J., as Pope, taking the name Pope Pius. However, this claim went on to say that because there was already a Pius XIII (Lucianus Pulvermacher), Zhong took the name Pius XIV.
Now, there were and are too, too many inconsistencies in this claim, and I stood up against it, and against this faction being attributed credibility.
First of all, no group has any business summoning merely the bishops of one country or continent for a papal election. Such an election cannot be valid because it cannot bind the Universal Church.
If indeed such an event had been organized, it was motivated by either of two causes: Ignorance, which in bishops is improbable, or with bad faith, which seems to be the most probable cause. Bad faith, in the sense that it was intended to create a false claimant, merely for the sake of creating a claimant and to use him to mislead souls, whether to defraud them of money or to set up a schismatic and cult following, or both.
The organizers were aware enough about Lucianus' claim and therefore without excuse. If sincere, they should have publicized their 'Conclave' and sought the participation of other bishops and clerics world-wide, including the innumerable Sedevacantist bishops and clerics.
Thirdly, such an event is very improbable because if it had indeed occurred then the whole world would have been filled with hullaboo about it, and Sedevacantists and the New Church would have made desperate efforts to gain over the adherence of these bishops.
And many more difficulties. Additionally, when I googled 'Pius XIV', I found a 'petition' they had organized that sought acknowledgement from the antipope Karol Wojtyla as his co-Pontiff for the New World!
After I had exposed these facts that show clearly and beyond doubt that the Zhong claim is nothing more than a fraud, I heard nothing more about it till recently, when in a letter, one of my correspondents restated the Zhong claim, with apparently new information that I did not have. I sought and received information, in the form of emails received from the Zhongs and forwarded to me.
The matter of these emails horrified me: The Zhongist claim had been modified: Pius XIV had expired; Pius XIV had made Robert Chung a 'Cardinal' before his death (one version); after Pius XIV had expired, his 'Secretary' Wen Cheng had made him (Robert Chung) a 'Cardinal' and had resigned the position of Papal Secretary in favour of him; Chung and Wen Cheng had joined up with the 'Old Catholic' Hans Lorenz, to organize a 'Conclave' and to elect yet a successor to 'Pius XIV'
This information angered and infuriated me deeply. Uptil now, I had the proof of bad faith, but also the doubt that this was just a stupid prank. Now this goes beyond any prank and boldly into outright fraud.
The Zhongists seek nothing less than to perpetuate a fraud upon souls, to set up a cult following and to seduce souls away from the Catholic faith.

Further Developments
Robert Chung has made a repudiation and has been reconciled by Bishop Thom Sebastian.Given the trauma and distress that Robert Chung is facing, I had sought the advice of Gordon Bateman, Fr. Kevin Vaillancourt, Bishop Thom Sebastian and Pope Michael I as to whether I should send my latest letter, Come Clean - II to him (Chung).
Since I am not enamoured with the desire to be seen as a heartless persecutor, I too am content to let things stand as they are, although, to be very frank, I am very far from being satisfied.
I just want to point out that what I did was not about being "judgemental."
I ask: Is it that I did wrong by exposing this thing? Or should I have just stood by and quietly watched the action unfold? And why was it required for me to do have been the one to raise the alarm, when the mischief was evident?
Today, with Robert Chung being 'reconciled' by Bishop Thom Sebastian, and being too distraught to face further onslaughts, I have been advised to lay off for the present. I agree with that judgement.
However, I question the 'reconciliation.' Despite the pain that my insistence is going to cause, it remains that Chung's repentance does not seem, to me at least, to be entire and complete. There are two many loose ends in his story.
One could be inclined in charity to leave off the matter, but such an attitude could only encourage him to think that he has staved off the crisis and made a fool of us so that he could latter resume operations with more cunning and care, ending up with wreaking far more havoc...
I therefore request that, while Robert Chung is given offtime to overcome his trauma, the final closure of this matter should not be left off entirely, but should be pressed for as soon as he is better and better able to face to the demands of truth.
