    When you explain how 99.99% of Pius XII's bishops defected at Vatican II.


    What transpired is well docuмented:

    No. What is needed is a true pope that reaffirms the dogma of "Extra Eclessiam Nulla Salus" as it was always taught before Modernism. He could do that by condemning once and for all the so called "Baptism of Desire" given the disastrous results this theological speculation produced in the hands of the modernist liberals.


    BOD was taught before modernism. The definition of membership found in Mystici Corporis was aimed at the idea of an invisible membership, which was an error being promoted at the time.

    Like I said earlier, you want a truth condemned because it was distorted in some manner by modernists.
    It would be comparatively easy for us to be holy if only we could always see the character of our neighbours either in soft shade or with the kindly deceits of moonlight upon them. Of course, we are not to grow blind to evil

    Why are you spamming the different threads with the same paragraph over and over again?


    Why don't you provide a source that has taught what you say you believe and has noticed the "grave errors" taught in the catechisms and manuals for hundreds of years.

    Why don't you prove your charge?  What evidence do you have against each of them?


    Isn't that your charge? Please explain how the overwhelming majority of bishops and theologians appointed by Pius XII had embraced heterodoxy?

  • You know, at the end of the day, we'll have to just wait for the Holy Pope that God will send to restore the Church.  So many have been so deeply poisoned by the modernism that there can be no other remedy.

    I pray for that Pope whom God will raise up to reaffirm the dogma EENS and to condemn at least the distorted version of BoD (aka FoD).  I long for the day when everyone will return to the Faith of the Fathers.

    Will there be any faith left when Our Lord returns?

    In the meantime, I am indeed consoled by those of you I have encountered here who still cling to that Faith.

    Thanks, that is why we are here, to speak truth.

    As for me, I was surprised that these BODers like Ambrose, SJB, LOT, and Anthonywhatever, Nishant and such, when confronted with the challenge of defending the theory of salvation by implicit faith in Christ (the teaching that someone who has no explicit belief in Christ and the Trinity can be saved) isolated by itself, still fight the same as if we were talking about BOD & BOB of the catechumen. I really did not believe they were that far gone. I expected that when they were presented with the fact that it was taught by no Father, Doctor, Saint, council, and that moreover that it is a declared dogma (and in the ancient Athanasian creed) that for one to be saved one must believe in the Incarnation and the Trinity, I really expected them to change their ways, however, I can see now that they are lost. Indeed BOD & BOB must be like a drug, in that it ends in sheer lunacy, denying clear dogma, and abandoning all common sense, the Fathers, Doctors, Saints and councils!

    ON PROMOTION OF FALSE DOCTRINES
    QUANTO CONFICIAMUR


    That encyclical has nothing to do with the discussion, your posting it shows that you have no evidence, your frustration. That is called an end run, and circular logic. You don't like what someone posts, so you call it a false doctrine by your own cojones, then post QUANTO CONFICIAMUR.

    It's obvious to anyone who is honest about this subject of BOD,  that the subject of this tread is that to be saved by baptism of desire, one must have explicit belief in the Incarnation and the Trinity. ALL of you BODers are denying that. You are denying clear dogma.


    The Subject of this Thread: BODers say anyone can be saved without explicit belief in Christ


    DOGMA:

     
    Quote
    Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Sess. 8, Nov. 22, 1439, ex cathedra: “Whoever wishes to be saved, needs above all to hold the Catholic faith; unless each one preserves this whole and inviolate, he will without a doubt perish in eternity.– But the Catholic faith is this, that we worship one God in the Trinity, and the Trinity in unity... Therefore let him who wishes to be saved, think thus concerning the Trinity. “But it is necessary for eternal salvation that he faithfully believe also in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ...the Son of God is God and man...– This is the Catholic faith; unless each one believes this faithfully and firmly, he cannot be saved.”


    If that dogma does not mean what it CLEARLY says, then words have no meaning whatsoever. It is a waste of time to talk to people like you, for you have no regard for dogma. Moreover, it does not phase you one iota that not a Father, Saint, Doctor, or Council ever taught that anyone can be saved without belief in the Incarnation and the Holy Trinity.

    If you will not hear clear dogma from the Holy Ghost, no one and nothing will convince you that you are wrong. Be prepared though that if this clear dogma does not mean what it clearly says, then NOTHING that is written means what it says! And you might as well go talk to yourself.




    BODers deny Dogma (Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Sess. 8)

    BODers deny Creeds

     Athanasian Creed
    1. Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic faith;
    2. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.
    3. And the Catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;
    4. Neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance.
    5. For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit.
    6. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is all one, the glory equal, the majesty coeternal.
    7. Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit.
    8. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated.
    9. The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Spirit incomprehensible.
    10. The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal.
    11. And yet they are not three eternals but one eternal.
    12. As also there are not three uncreated nor three incomprehensible, but one uncreated and one incomprehensible.
    13. So likewise the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, and the Holy Spirit almighty.
    14. And yet they are not three almighties, but one almighty.
    15. So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God;
    16. And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.
    17. So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy Spirit Lord;
    18. And yet they are not three Lords but one Lord.
    19. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord;
    20. So are we forbidden by the catholic religion to say; There are three Gods or three Lords.
    21. The Father is made of none, neither created nor begotten.
    22. The Son is of the Father alone; not made nor created, but begotten.
    23. The Holy Spirit is of the Father and of the Son; neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
    24. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits.
    25. And in this Trinity none is afore or after another; none is greater or less than another.
    26. But the whole three persons are coeternal, and coequal.
    27. So that in all things, as aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.
    28. He therefore that will be saved must thus think of the Trinity.
    29. Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also believe rightly the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    30. For the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and man.
    31. God of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds; and man of substance of His mother, born in the world.
    32. Perfect God and perfect man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting.
    33. Equal to the Father as touching His Godhead, and inferior to the Father as touching His manhood.
    34. Who, although He is God and man, yet He is not two, but one Christ.
    35. One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh, but by taking of that manhood into God.
    36. One altogether, not by confusion of substance, but by unity of person.
    37. For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man, so God and man is one Christ;
    38. Who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead;
    39. He ascended into heaven, He sits on the right hand of the Father, God, Almighty;
    40. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
    41. At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies;
    42. and shall give account of their own works.
    43. And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting and they that have done evil into everlasting fire.
    44. This is the catholic faith, which except a man believe faithfully he cannot be saved.

    BODers deny St. Thomas Aquinas:

    St. Thomas, Summa Theologica: "After grace had been revealed both the learned and simple folk are bound to explicit faith in the mysteries of Christ chiefly as regards those which are observed throughout the Church, and publicly proclaimed, such as the articles which refer to the Incarnation, of which we have spoken above."(Pt.II-II, Q.2, A.7.)

    Saint Thomas, Summa Theologica: "And consequently, when once grace had been revealed, all were bound to explicit faith in the mystery of the Trinity." (Pt.II-II, Q.2, A.8.)

    No, it is not my charge.  Only those bishops that embraced heresy fell from their offices.  It is a fact that many did, but it has never been proven that 99.99% or even a number close to that fell into heresy.  Many fell away from the Faith, but many fell into obscurity, but not necessarily from the Faith.

    The fact that many lost their Faith during the reign of Paul VI does not prove that they did not have the Faith when they were appointed by Pope Pius XII.

    The Faith is something that must be constantly guarded, and apparently Vatican II led by a man who appeared to be Pope was enough to get the bishops to lower their guard.

    We keep talking about it because all of you deny it!  You may say, "it's not heretical to believe BoD," but that is not enough!  You must believe and profess BoD.  If you deny it, it is heresy.

    When you accept explicit Baptism of Desire, then we can show you why you must also accept implicit BoD.  While it may not be heresy to deny implicit BoD, it is temerariousto deny it and grounds for a mortal sin.

  • No. For almost 500 hundred years, since Protestantism, and later the masonic French revolution (from which we are still living under its satanic influence), the enemies of the Church have turn the theological opinion of BOD into a complete denial of the dogma "Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus". These enemies have been trying to tear down our Divine Holy Mother Church by reducing her to the level of "just another church". And the destructive tool they have used is called "desire".

    Again, implicit faith is not sufficient either. A person that has reached the age of reason, is obliged to profess an explicit belief in the Holy Trinity, The Incarnation, and the Catholic Faith before they die. This truth is necessary to believe for Salvation as a necessity of means, meaning all Catholics are obliged to believe it. Denial of EENS as is written is a sin.
    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

    It is impossible for the Church to allow heresy and grave errors agains the Faith to be taught in its own approved seminary manuals and catechisms, and no one to notice or care for decades or especially centuries.  

    To the contrary of Protestants and Feeneyites, the Church is not and will never be the Whore of Babylon.

    ...when a true Pope comes again and teaches...


    I do very much enjoy the hope you express.  So much so that I pause to enjoy it.

    Prudence, though, forces me to accept that within the time-frame of my life, a single generation, that which was recognizably Catholic, specifically Latin Rite Catholic, has been completely replaced with a new and improved, modern theology.  This is yet another wound inflicted on Christianity, which will always remain, even if healed over by time, as a huge scar.  

    What absolutely amazes me the most, though, is that our last Saint Pope, Pius X, so clearly identified this modernism that was looming, even to the point of making all religious take a vow against modernism.

    Again, I do so enjoy the hope you describe, but if our here time is short, I pray to go down with the ship.  God bless you and yours, now and always.


    It is a pleasure to "know you" JohnAnthonyMarie, even if it is just in this virtual world of Catholic info.  

    I do have a very strong hope that a Pope will come again, and I also very strongly believe that he will be coming soon.  I do not base this on idle speculation, but on the fact that certain things cannot happen in the Church, and outside of a miracle they will naturally occur in the not to distant future.

    The point is Ambrose that you can't name an approved theologian who comes to the same conclusions you do but you demand this condition of others.

    You've got your conciliar pope(s) who profess and promotes a BOD - and you deny that they even are pope(s). So what are you waiting for?

    You await "The Thrice Defined Dogma" becoming the Dogma defined for the fourth time to mean something different than the first three times it was defined - and you do not see the insanity of that?  

    BODers who await for a pope to define a BOD as a means of salvation are likened to the man waiting at the airport for a plane that took off 55 years ago.

    When you explain how 99.99% of Pius XII's bishops defected at Vatican II.


    Why don't you prove your charge?  What evidence do you have against each of them?


    Isn't that your charge? Please explain how the overwhelming majority of bishops and theologians appointed by Pius XII had embraced heterodoxy?


    No, it is not my charge.  Only those bishops that embraced heresy fell from their offices.  It is a fact that many did, but it has never been proven that 99.99% or even a number close to that fell into heresy.  Many fell away from the Faith, but many fell into obscurity, but not necessarily from the Faith.

    The fact that many lost their Faith during the reign of Paul VI does not prove that they did not have the Faith when they were appointed by Pope Pius XII.

    The Faith is something that must be constantly guarded, and apparently Vatican II led by a man who appeared to be Pope was enough to get the bishops to lower their guard.  



    The point is Ambrose that you can't name an approved theologian who comes to the same conclusions you do but you demand this condition of others.


    It's a stupid point and the only one you ever make here.
    It would be comparatively easy for us to be holy if only we could always see the character of our neighbours either in soft shade or with the kindly deceits of moonlight upon them. Of course, we are not to grow blind to evil
