  • Those pics aren't real, are they?  It's a spoof, right?

  • The top one looks like he is holding a play sword the wrong way.

    Notice he dresses like he believes in nothing, not in even the office that he barely pretends to hold.

  • That second picture of a cross(?) looks like a snake crawling on it.

    Everything involving Bergy is a spoof. Many of the stories I've read about him sound as if they could've come from The Onion.
    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

     :roll-laugh2:

    I am not sure either if they are a spoof, please can anyone confirm if they are legit. IF THEY are true, wow he simply amazes me more and more. You give too much credit to The Onion, ahahah. Its funny you mention that but in college there has been some people that have cited, "The Onion" as proof of their claims in a presentation. It goes without saying  :popcorn: how they are ridiculed afterwards  :baby: :rolleyes.

    Just in case some folks are not aware, not all Sedevacantist believe that the New Rites of Consecration/ordinations are invalid totally (but hold a similar position to that of the SSPX on that question). Although I tend to think they are in the minority, there are some who do believe that going to FSSP (particularly priest that were ordained by a Bishop in the New Rite) is legit, so long as there is no danger of indifferentism etc... For sacraments of course if there is no other option anywhere close... I am not sure you will see anymore SV'ist in indult masses sometime shortly in the future  :guitar:.

    I don't see Our Lord on either of these, um, "t's."  They cannot be called "crucifixes" because the Crucified is absent.
     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.

  • These are bare crosses, not crucifixes.  BIG difference.  Bare crosses (and that includes curlicues and other objects other than a true corpus affixed upon them) NEGATES sacrifice.  Protestants deliberately tore off the corpus to denigrate or NEGATE Christ's sacrifice.  Novus Ordoites are rolling down the same path and way of thinking as the original lutherans 500 years ago.

  • Our youngest daughter, who's seven, came to me the other night with a "clean cross" necklace that she got from a quarter-machine at the store. She asked, "What should I do with this? It's not a real cross." It ended up in the trash.

  • "A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words"

    Please notice, as another writer keener than myself pointed out, the two bishops are laughing while their superior kisses a non existent corpus of Our Lord. Please notice the look on the face of the "pope".

  • We should flood his office with letters and emails demanding:
    "Put Christ back in Christian!" Since he seems to just love American quips.
    I'm teetering on the edge of declaring him to be fully heretical, if not totally apostate. He shows absolutely no respect for Our Lord, not to mention the constant expression of malice in his eyes. I'm beginning to be concerned that he actually intends to do harm to the Church.
    Matthew 6:34
    " Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof."
