Is the election of Pope Leo XIV a sign that Rome will FINALLY be returning to the faith? If Leo XIV is just HALF of the pope Leo XIII was, then MAYBE Rome has finally seen the light and will be returning to the TRUE CATHOLIC FAITH in the near future. :incense:

I see people like Bishop Sanborn and Father Jenkins possibly dismantling their organizations, eating a big slice of "humble pie" by admitting they were wrong this entire time, and finally submitting humbly to the hierarchy in Rome while publicly stating "Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa" with other Sedes imitating them soon after. :popcorn:

The conciliar Pope could always convert, like Viganò did, but I see no indicative that this man is more inclined to it than any other of his predecessors. 

He even mentioned the synodal church on his speech.:facepalm:

Could Cardinal Prevost be the first American pope? - LifeSite

The big picture:  (https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/could-cardinal-prevost-be-the-first-american-pope/)
Prevost has cooperated in advancing Francis’ agenda, facilitated the appointment of heterodox bishops throughout the world, and tacitly denied the traditional teaching on the episcopate. 
 (https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/could-cardinal-prevost-be-the-first-american-pope/)Flashpoint: 
 (https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/could-cardinal-prevost-be-the-first-american-pope/)He oversaw the deposition of the most conservative U.S. bishop (Strickland) and the appointment of a notorious liberal to one of the most prominent diocesan see (McElroy).   
 (https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/could-cardinal-prevost-be-the-first-american-pope/)Takeaway: 
Prevost has remained silent in the face of the great doctrinal questions of our day, and facilitated the longest-lasting legacy of Francis’ reign.

Could Cardinal Prevost be the first American pope? - LifeSite (https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/could-cardinal-prevost-be-the-first-american-pope/)

Conclusion: Can Prevost be elected?
The Catholic Church teaches (https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/catholics-must-refuse-to-accept-a-public-heretic-as-pope-heres-why/) that any candidate for the papacy (or any other office) must be:
Regarding the third criterion, the Church also teaches that her members are only those who (a) are validly baptized, (b) publicly profess the Catholic faith, and (c) are united to the body and subject to the legitimate hierarchy. 
In this piece, we have seen that Prevost has:

If we were limited to the matter of his silence, we might be able to excuse Prevost on the grounds of cowardice or tactical cunning—neither of which present him as a good
 candidate for the papacy. The Church does not need cowards or tacticians: she needs men who take seriously the words of St. Paul to the Galatians: 


Quote
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. (Gal. 1.8-10)
She needs bishops who will boldly obey the exhortation of St Paul to Timothy: 

Quote
I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming and his kingdom:
Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.
For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. (2 Timothy 4.1-5)
A man who has remained “discreet” during the last few years—and indeed been promoted in that time—seems unlikely to be suitable. 
However, the wider points discussed in this article—doctrinal deviations which become clear after a careful consideration of his role as Prefect for the Dicastery of Bishops—are both cause for alarm in themselves, and as shedding light on his silence. They indicate that Prevost is not a coward or a tactician, but a loyal son of Francis, and that he will continue the work of his master and benefactor, if he is elected—even if he does so in a more discreet and moderate way. 

This raises grave questions about whether or not Prevost can be said to profess the Catholic faith at all, and thus whether he is a member of the Church. If he is not a member of the Church, then it is not possible (https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/catholics-must-refuse-to-accept-a-public-heretic-as-pope-heres-why/) for him to be validly elected as pope. 

At the very least, there is serious doubt on the matter: and a man whose visible membership in the Church is itself in serious doubt can only be doubtfully elected (https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/catholics-must-refuse-to-accept-a-public-heretic-as-pope-heres-why/) to the papacy, even if the conclave is unanimous. Should such a man be elected, the resulting doubt would not be about his popularity or policies, but about his very authority. This is why great theologians and canonists held that a doubtful pope is no pope at all.
(https://ads.lifesitenews.com/www/delivery/lg.php?bannerid=0&campaignid=0&zoneid=3&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesitenews.com%2Fopinion%2Fcould-cardinal-prevost-be-the-first-american-pope%2F&referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2F&cb=4a622fe8e2)
Needless to say, these points have implications that extend beyond just Prevost, applying also to those other cardinals who have been “discreet” and “moderate” in the face of Francis’ doctrinal aberrations. It is not enough to ask whether a man is prudent, discreet, or personally sincere. The question is whether he professes the faith whole and entire, in public and without compromise. If the answer is not a clear “Yes,” then the conclusion is clear: he cannot be validly elected or accepted as pope.

As others put it, this guy is absolutely not a "centrist".  He's been one of the biggest promoters of the whole "Synodal Church" concept.  That was the perception because he never talked much publicly, but what he did as far Leftist and Bergs wouldn't have trusted him to select bishops if he weren't in lockstep.  He presided over ousting Strickland.

Despite that, I reject this very conversation.  Unless someone recognizes that Vatican II was not a Council, declares it null, declares Roncalli and the rest Antipopes, declares the NOM null and void ... Right, Left, Centrist yada yada yada is just bovine excrement.

There's only Catholic and Modernist, and he's a Modernist.

Yet another Antipope, as predicted (given that I expect 2029 to be when things start to get really bad and then turn around with the Holy Pope ... hint:  this guy ain't it).

So, again on in the category of retarded, you're saying Rome currently does not profess the "TRUE CATHOLIC FAITH" and yet deride sedevacantists, meaning that you think someone without Catholic faith can be in the Church ... ergo, you're a heretic.

Here is my position and it is far from heretical: quote from: St Giles on April 27, 2025, 04:22:06 PM (https://www.cathinfo.com/crisis-in-the-church/tell-me-why-indulters-aren't-cowards-and-or-ignorant/msg981332/#msg981332)

Why can't they both resist and be a part of the visible hierarchy?

Short Answer: No......Just No.

Longer Answer: The Visible Hierarchy no longer advocates, teaches, supports, or lives according to the teachings taught by The Roman Catholic Church since its inception. This Visible Hierarchy "did a complete 180" in the 1960s and has thus forced the innocent laity into taking either one of two completely illogical positions (if they are to be a part of this Visible Hierarchy):

1.) To be an "obedient heretic" (this is an oxymoron but this is exactly what one does when following the Visible Hierarchy of The Novus Ordo Church. You are faithful to a Church and a Hierarchy that has recently taken everything the True Church has ever stood for and taken the EXACT OPPOSITE position: this "complete 180" is heresy and so to follow it, you would be "obedient" yes, but also a "heretic." And to be part of any Church that is heretical is to be a part of a False Church).

2.) To be a "faithful schismatic" (this is also an oxymoron but this is exactly what one does when Recognizing the Visible Hierarchy of the Novus Ordo Church and yet, at the same time, being "faithful" to the TRUE TEACHINGS of the True Church, teachings which the SAME CHURCH you claim to belong to no longer believes or practices. In fact, the Novus Ordo Church DESPISES the TRUE TEACHINGS and that is why they completely changed them. So, you would be "faithful" to the teachings of the True Church but the "Visible Hierarchy" you also recognize would publicly and viciously call you a "Schismatic" because of you being "faithful" to the original and true teachings, which this Visible Hierarchy now utterly despises).

And so, since one CANNOT be either an "obedient heretic" or a "faithful schismatic", one CANNOT both resist and be a part of the "Visible Hierarchy". One must completely reject it and call it out (both loudly and publicly) for what it truly is: A FALSE hierarchy and a FALSE church

God allowed it.

I've long speculated that God permitted Bergoglio as a last chance for people to wake up to the nature of the Conciliar Church, and some cooperated with that grace.  Others, alas, did not.

"Leo" would need to do little more than to loosen up just a bit on the Tridentine Mass to reabsorb and finish neutralizing SSPX, and get Trad, Inc. back into line.

God will give His grace to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear.

Agreed. This is not good. This guy is wearing beautiful vestments, speaking Latin, giving a blessing, and so on. I'm really concerned he will be a boring, quiet guy who won't offend anyone and won't drive anyone out of the Novus Ordo church. Everything I've seen so far seems to confirm this.

I hope I'm wrong.

See, I don't feel punished by God.  Perhaps those who don't have the faith or the Traditional Mass are being punished, but I wouldn't use the first person, since I don't feel punished, but blessed.

I suspect Prevost will light his fair share or menorahs with our elder brothers in the faith but 
I doubt he will be hosting any pachamama ceremonies. He is a lot smarter than Bergoglio and
will therefore be more subtle in word and deed. This will be bad news for all the trad grifters
who won't have the same steady stream of outrage porn that Francis provided.
I think many trads expect the conciliar church to eventually have full fledged sodomite marriages in
its churches, woman and trans priests, and no longer condemn abortion as a sin.
Then the antichrist can appear or something. 
The VII sect is already so far gone into the abyss of apostasy that it just needs to be around to maintain
its deception. They don't seek converts and they don't care if anyone leaves to join some other sect.

the way he describes the role of a bishop could also apply to any community organizer, 3rd rate politician, or McDonald's manager. 
Notice how none of these conciliar types actually use the word salvation. Salvation is kinda the point of the whole religion if I'm not mistaken. Not worldly peace or brotherhood

Quite aside from any question of content, there's just a little touch of something in his speaking voice, basically American-accented English, but just a trace of Spanish or something.  Notice the way he pronounces "determined" with just a little more emphasis on the "de" than you'd expect to hear.  He has spent two-thirds of his life outside the US, speaking languages other than English, so this may be only expected.  Hard to put my finger on, but I can definitely hear it.

I've noticed something similar in Dutch and Swedish people who speak English fluently.  There's just a little something "off", if you didn't know they were Dutch or Swedish, you might not know they weren't native American English speakers.

Thank you for this virtual barbiturate, for the next time I have trouble falling asleep. LOL!!

Well, it has the opposite effect for me, inducing an exquisite headache attempting to follow it.

Wow ... listen to this unintelligible word salad.  Word on the street was that this guy was smart.  There's not a single spark of intelligence in this video.

That could be what I'm hearing, a trace of over-pronunciation.  He has a fairly cosmopolitan family background, so he may have picked up some non-standard pronunciations and intonation from his parents or other relatives.

If I had to guess, I'd suspect that his speech pattern is affected by years of living in Peru and speaking Spanish on a daily basis.

Is the election of Pope Leo XIV a sign that Rome will FINALLY be returning to the faith? If Leo XIV is just HALF of the pope Leo XIII was, then MAYBE Rome has finally seen the light and will be returning to the TRUE CATHOLIC FAITH in the near future. :incense:
Something an Indult would say. ::)

Was watching Bishop Sandborn this evening, nope, he called him out as a continuation of Francis right away. It's business as usual for the Traditionalist priestly orders.

I see people like Bishop Sanborn and Father Jenkins possibly dismantling their organizations, eating a big slice of "humble pie" by admitting they were wrong this entire time, and finally submitting humbly to the hierarchy in Rome while publicly stating "Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa" with other Sedes imitating them soon after. :popcorn:
No way is either dismantling his organization!

This is 100% correct. I don't get why Lad thinks I am not a Sede. The above comment made about Bishop Sanborn and Father Jenkins was just a comment made "in jest." It was a joke. Sedes would never do such a thing because Sedes are NOT WRONG.
OK, I was wondering where you stood on the New Rites given you said in another thread that you were sede and you assist at an indult mass.  Your position (believing they are certainly valid) is Louie Verrechio's position.  Interestingly enough, last I knew, he also assists at the FSSP.

As for the joke, I'm not sure how others took it, but it didn't seem like a joke to me when I first read it.  So, I can understand the confusion.  Perhaps use the winky icon next time?

Well, between calling yourself an "Indult" Cath and your latests posts deriding Sedevacantists as having to "eat humble pie" ... I think you're actually a Motarian troll.

Yeah, I don't think it was joking, and he's made other comments that also suggest he's not joking.  Finally, his touch with the popcorn emoticon clearly suggests that he's trolling sedevacantists by pretending to be one.  Others have done similar here on CathInfo, and I'm calling him out as an anti-sedevacantist, and probably also anti-Traditional-Catholic troll.  What actual "sedevacantist" would use the forum name "IndultCat"?  Answer:  absolutely none of them.

That is incorrect. Here is a little bit about me: 
I am a Traditional Catholic Sedevacantist who attends an Indult parish because there are no Sede or Resistance chapels available. I do, however, believe that both the Thuc consecrations are 100% valid and that the 1968 Rites of Priestly Ordination and Episcopal Consecration are also 100% valid. If anyone wishes to know anything more about me, just drop me a message.

Would like to hear Vigano's assessment.
He thinks the election was invalid because 108 of the 133 were appointed "by a Jesuit who usurped the Papacy for twelve years", and also because Universi Dominici Gregis put a 120 cardinals cap on the number of electors (his interview with Francesco Borgonovo (https://exsurgedomine.it/250429-borgonovo-eng/))

Yeah, he said that before and, unlike the majority of Bennyvacantists, he's consistent about it ... who just ignore this little detail.  No, they don't appeal to UPA or anything else, just ignore the fact that Antipope Jorge appointed 108 of the 133, as if they didn't really believe that he wasn't pope.

I think what we want to hear about is his knowledge of who Prevost is ... since I imagine he got to know him fairly well or at least heard about him through his connections at the Vatican.

This woman here, a classmate of Bob in the late 1970s at the "Catholic" "Theological" Union says that Bob was the only one in her class (evidently she was the first woman admitted to a school for advanced degrees in theology) who suppored her desire to be "ordained".  So despite the "officlal" position put out there by Bob about being against female deacons, well, either he's since changed his mind or he just fakes things in public.

Is there any conspiracy theory significance to the fact that Leo XIII condemned the Heresy of Americanism and now we have an American as Leo IV?  There has to be something there.  Come on, people.  Dig!

Yeah, doubt it.  It wasn't as if she was giving minute detail, just the high level recollection that Bob supported her bid to become ordained.

Well, it was "easy" to preach to the choir against Bergoglio. Since bishop Vigano seems to have had a soft spot for father Ratzinger, how can he declare current antipapacy and not hold those before Bergoglio to the same standard. Yes, Bergoglio opened eyes to many, but the buck surely does not stop with him and surely did not start with him.

Other than that Leo was not legitimately elected.

What else does he have to say?  Not sure why the SVs are so obsessed with Leo, since Leo's illegitimate and we could hardly care less about what he says any more than if it were the "Archbishop" of Canterbury.

I'm actually getting fed up with the Leo chatter ... and it's almost as if some SVs are even trying to convince themselves that he's not the Pope and to fight off the propaganda that he's some kind of traditionalist.  SVs appear to be following every word of Leo's and when they catch him saying something Modernist, they immediately pounce, with the attitude of:  "Aha.  See. Look.  I told you he was a Modernist."  Really?  Tell us something we don't now.

He's the false head of a false religion.  Period.  Until he renounces V2 and the NOM (which barring a miracle he'll never do), anything else he says or does is meaningless, and if that happens, please wake me up, but until then :sleep:

Of course, this post is undoubtely yet another attack you're making in +Vigano, given your history ... since you could hardly care less about what +Vigano says.

It seems to me that he'd at least want to address Trad, Inc's reversal since the election. Even a number of Cathinfo members are doing that. But he's been silent.
