    I never use that word. But you have no problem with it.

    You can be an asshole and get to heaven, but idolaters are damned.


    Depends what kind of an a-hole you are doesn't it?

    Quote from: Matto
    It is far worse to call someone an idolater than to call someone an asshole.


    Does he, or does he not place Wathen's heretical and blasphemous ideas over and above what the Saints and Doctors and even the Church itself teaches?

    And is that not idolatry, to follow a man instead of the Church?

  • I can tell you Vini that in my past, I've been truly humbled by bigger idiots than  you, so I suggest that you concentrate your efforts on learning the faith because your attempt at insulting me into submission to your errors is beyond futile.

    Perhaps one day you will try to learn how the laws of the Church operate - if you ever do, you will find that you (of all people) have zero right to proclaim that popes (of all people) are not popes no matter what they have done.  

    Try hard not to waste your time declaring me a liar, Fr. Wathen a heretic and the pope is not the pope, better to learn the Catholic faith without the influence of the Dimond fools then it is to waste your time with things you continually demonstrate that you know absolutely nothing about.

    Like the old saying goes - "better to keep your mouth shut and let everyone only think you're a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt."

    The Dimonds are exactly who I thought of from his rantings.

    Funny how he has such a problem with the word ASSHOLE but doesn't have any problem being one.  This isn't the first thread that he has proved himself an ASSHOLE in either.

    Let me guess, you're another r&r "devout Catholic" like Stubborn aren't ya? Another one "really holding the line of Tradition" as opposed to those crazy sedevacantists right?

    The more hate you spew from your trap the more credibility you give to me because it proves what a nitwit you are that you can't even attempt to bring up a logical and rational argument against what I say but instead you are reduced to pathetic name-calling.

    Even a barbarian can do that.

    Stubborn, can you plainly say why you disagree with Vinikias.  Is it simply that you believe that a heretic doesn't automatically lose his title?  Because, I got to tell you, what Vinikias is saying is making a whole lot of sense to me and it appears that Church teaching supports him.


    The Church is not a democracy, Our Lord set it up as a monarchical form of government - Pope is supreme, there is no authority on earth above him, there is no tribunal which can judge him or remove him from office.

    Even though Vini wants to proclaim the pope cannot be the pope due to the popes' obvious public heresies, that is not within his rights anymore than it is with your rights - if such a thing were within our rights, there would be nothing to ever stop us from dethroning a good pope no matter what the good St. Robert said.  

    It is not our business to busy ourselves telling the world that the pope is not the pope when there is no way of proving it - anymore than than we can prove that NO consecration of the Blessed Sacrament is positively invalid.

    Even if the pope really is not the pope, there is no way to prove it, we certainly do not have the authority to make such declarations, there is nothing we can do about it because the Church set up the process and procedure of what happens when one incurs the penalty of excommunication - and it takes the superior of the one who is excommunicated to actually do anything about it - the pope has never had and never will have a superior.

    All we can and should do is point out his errors and heresies so that others do not follow him in his heresies. That is our duty.





     


    I get that we have no control over the "official" judgment and removal of a pope.  However, clearly some of the things Vinikias has posted (backed by Church teaching) points to the fact that a heretical pope's actions automatically and ipso facto removes him from the Church and the title of Pope (even if it doesn't appear to be so to the rest of the world including us).

    I don't see this so much as our judgment but God's judgment as revealed to us by Church teachings.

    I think that certain other forums should read posts like those when determining what is rude and what is not.  

    Vinikias, please reign it in.  I think you have something to offer here but stop acting like the Dimond Brothers.  We don't have to be nicey-nice all of the time, but you are way over the top.

    In your typical rashness, you guessed wrong.  I agree with most of what you say here and in the thread about protestant "theologians."  I disagree with your approach being that of a complete & total asshole.  There is a difference in being firm in your presentation and just being an asshole.  And calling Stubborn a liar....   I have no doubt that Stubbon believes his position is correct.  A lot of people believe the way he does--one's beliefs doesn't make him a liar.

    I, too, happen to be a fan of Fr. Wathen.  Comparing him to the Dimonds is utterly ridiculous.

    If I were to guess a thing or two about you, I would guess that you're either a home-aloner or attend with the only (or perhaps 1 of 3) valid priest remaining in the world.

    I believe the sede position is more than likely correct.  But I don't believe one has to accept the sede position to get to Heaven.  Do you think they do have to accept the sede position to get to Heaven?  Do you think I'm going to hell because of my position that others don't have to accept the sede position?  Because I'm not 100% certain that the sede position is correct?

    I don't see this so much as our judgment but God's judgment as revealed to us by Church teachings.  


    Ok, FWIW, I will post a few Papal quotes quotes from Pope Paul IV, in 1559.

    Most sedevacantists that I know are very familiar with cuм ex Apostolatus Officio. The ones I've debated with in the past seem to use it as bible, it seems to be their main constitution to justify their belief that the Chair is vacant due to the pope's heresies.

    I tried to point out to a similar poster, Cathedra, before he got banned, that cuм ex Apostolatus Officio instructs us what we are to do, what our course of action is to be when we have a pope(s) who is a heretic and / or presumably excommunicated.


    cuм ex Apostolatus Officio:
    In assessing Our duty and the situation now prevailing, We have been weighed upon by the thought that a matter of this kind [i.e. error in respect of the Faith] is so grave and so dangerous that the Roman Pontiff,who is the representative upon earth of God and our God and Lord Jesus Christ, who holds the fulness of power over peoples and kingdoms, who may judge all and be judged by none in this world, may nonetheless be contradicted if he be found to have deviated from the Faith.[/b]

    The above quote demonstrates:
    1) That popes can indeed deviate from (lose) the faith.
    2) When popes lose the faith, we are instructed to contradict (resist) them in their errors.


    We see that Pope Paul IV told us we are to contradict heretical popes, then in #7, he teaches us that we are also permitted at any time to withdraw with impunity from obedience and to avoid them -  nevertheless, remaining bound by the duty of fidelity and obedience to any future Roman Pontiff.

    ".....permitted at any time to withdraw with impunity from obedience and devotion to those thus promoted or elevated and to avoid them as warlocks, heathens, publicans, and heresiarchs (the same subject persons, nevertheless, remaining bound by the duty of fidelity and obedience to any future Bishops, Archbishops, Patriarchs, Primates, Cardinals and Roman Pontiff canonically entering).

    In the two snips above, the pope instructs us to:

    1) Contradict heretical popes
    2) Withdraw our obedience (to heresies) from heretical popes
    3) Avoid heretical popes
    4) Remain faithful and obedient any future [valid] popes

    Regardless of the fact that in #6, cuм Ex explicitly teaches that heretical popes automatically lose their office, in #7 we are still explicitly instructed that we are to withdraw obedience to the heresies, avoid yet remain faithful and obedient to any future valid popes.

    Pope Paul IV in no way gives anyone, let alone priests or lay people, the right, let alone the duty or  responsibility, to declare or believe that the Chair is vacant even after explicitly stating that heretical popes lose their office. It is not within our rights to do such a thing, and per the Bull, those who do such a thing not only err, they are being disobedient to what the Church, through this Bull, teaches. If such a thing were within our rights or if it was our duty or responsibility, the pope certainly would have explicitly said so.

    Additionally, what Pope Paul IV states in regards to the pope losing his office, he explicitly says also applies to Bishops, Archbishops, Patriarchs, Primates and Cardinals.

    The issue gains fuel because whenever people read these types of Magisterial docuмents, it appears that they zoom right into #6 without reading or comprehending anything else it says. They do not read what is written - which is why I constantly am telling Vini to read what is written and not to read into it something it does not say.

  • Stubborn, is there anything in there that says, what to do, if the person elected was not even a Catholic in the first place.

    No wonder Our Lady warned about who was entering into the seminaries, and authority should watch closer who is allowed, I believe at LaSalette.  She also warned that Rome would lose the Faith and become the seat of AntiChrist.    Also in the Bible it says:  "Leave the harlot".

    all apply to those who were heretics before their election.

    Exactly. But he stubbornly and obstinately refuses to admit and recognize this.

    He obstinately accuses sedevacantists of legally pronouncing the antipopes, antipopes, when we do not do such thing.

    He obstinately makes no distinction between a factual statement and a legal one.

    Actually i didn't; i guessed you were a r&rer and i was right.

    I would like you to explain how exactly was i such an a-hole, really.

    And calling Stubborn a liar....   I have no doubt that Stubbon believes his position is correct. A lot of people believe the way he does--one's beliefs doesn't make him a liar.


    That he is a liar is a fact.

    The number of those deceived into holding his same beliefs is irrelevant.

    The number of fools is infinite.

    The Church, the Saints and Doctors teach that all public and manifest heretics, even if they were to be real Popes, automatically and ipso facto, without the need for any declaration, fall outside the Church and lose all authority, office, dignity etc.

    He has been shown this FACT over and over and over again throughout the decades but he still obstinately says NO, THAT IS NOT TRUE, and what's more, he completely rejects ipso facto and latae sententiae excommunications, which do not need any declaration, and he says that the Church TEACHES NO SUCH THING. To make it even worse, he says sedes usurp authority and corrupt the Church's teachings. Those are serious charges, but since you simpathize with him, you make light of them.

    The fact that he believes his lies are true is utterly irrelevant and you are completely wrong, one's beliefs can CERTAINLY make you a liar.

    Are you going to excuse all non-Catholics now then, since they certainly believe their beliefs and convictions are correct and true?

    Yes, but what if they were never Catholics to begin with, and Masons elected their friends, therefore they were never popes, because the election was void.   You see, one must be a Catholic, not a Mason to even be considered for pope.  The Church is a Divine Institution, not a human organization.
