Many saints have been incorrupt after death, but within hours after his death, Montini's corpose could have been smelled from Sicily if the wind were blowing just right.

New Churchers are saying that Paul VI is not a saint and that the canonization process is crap.  The author of the article even criticizes JPII's canonization.

I'll take the teaching of St. Thomas and the universal consensus among theologians, who all teach that canonizations are infallible, differing only about the theological note to be assigned to the teaching ... over the musings of some Novus Ordite.

So you're getting incredibly desperate in promoting the gratuitous opinion of a random Novus Ordite over the teaching of St. Thomas.

http://radtradthomist.chojnowski.me/2018/10/our-darkest-hour-with-canonization-of.html

From Dr. Chojnowski,

A Fake Saint with an Imposter Nun.
If We Prove the Imposter Nun We Prove the Fake Saint Who Perpetrated the Fraud. No Saint Could Have Done That.


I really thought that we would be shouting from the rooftops on the day in which Giovanni Battista Montini would be declared a "saint" by NewChurch. The man who tried to abolish the Mass and replace it with an Low Church Anglican/Presbyterian Service, the one who promulgated the heresies of Vatican II, the teachings that the Catholic Church was not identical with the Church of Christ but that the Church of Christ included other "Christian" denominations, the one who changed EVERY SACRAMENT to conform to the New Theology which denied the distinction between Nature and Grace, the one who injected Pentecostalism into the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, the one who allowed catechisms that were explicitly heretical and which destroyed the faith of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, the one who issued a General Instruction to the New Mass that failed to mention that the Mass was a sacrifice, the one who said that the United Nations was the last hope for mankind, the one who tried to crush out of existence Tradition and ordered the suppression of the SSPX and, indeed, all of Catholic Tradition, the one who is called a Mason by many and one who is called a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ by even more, the one who was responsible for giving the Soviets the heads up as to who were the priestly and episcopal "infiltrators" behind the Iron Curtain, the one who betrayed Cardinal Mindszenty, the one who forced the New Theology and Maritainianism down the throat of the Church, etc.

 
 
 
You could really keep going on. All of these things mentioned above have been surrounded by gold --- like the figures in a Byzantine icon -- to indicate that they are now "unchangeable" and, in fact, "blessed." To say otherwise is, really, to be going against the "Church." I don't think that we realize this yet. To not break with this abomination, whose foundations were laid in the 1960s, is to submit to it or to "apostatize" by "stepping away" from it. One must perform some act by which to separate yourself from this thing whose fraudulancy and deception is more fully manifested each day. The Church is not a club, it is an ecclesia united by ONE FAITH. Paul VI did more than any other man in human history to destroy the faith in people's hearts. Only through a special grace from God do any of us still have the authentic Catholic Faith of the Ages AFTER the career of Paul VI. 
 
 
 
Let's just say it. He would have destroyed it. HE WANTED TO DESTROY IT. 
 
 
 
This is our darkest hour. The only time that shall be worse is when the Antichrist will come. The Chastisement will not be spiritually dark, because it will punish men for their sins and open up to them again the light of faith and grace --- and true nature. The enemies of the Church have "canonized" exactly what we have been fighting against all of our lives. They have declared US TO BE THE ENEMY. Let us take them up on it. Let us BE their enemies. Let us be the nastiest son's of a gun that they have ever had to deal with. In the Divine Order of Things, it is EITHER US OR THEM. Either they will destroy, humiliate (that was today), and castrate Catholic Orthodoxy and Tradition, or we will drive heresy and apostasy from the Temple of the Lord. We will fight you on the beaches...we will never surrender. Let loose the dogs of war!

The point is, the new process is not the same as the one St Thomas was commenting on.  So, it's an apples-oranges comparison and the new process opens the door for discussion/gray area/doubt, which is the conclusion being reached by many, even in the novus ordo.

It's a mid-level infallibility (which is based on the understanding of infallibility PREVIOUS to Vatican I's definition) which is not dogmatic but only a "certainty of faith".  To say that canonizations are infallible without qualifying and explaining that it's a different infallibility than dogma is being untruthful.

As you said:  This has been said many times, but you don't want to believe it.

It is the first time I have ever heard of the notion of "mid-level" infallibility.

Something is either free from error or it is not. If the mere possibility of error do exist, then that something is NOT infallible. When the Church declares someone to be saint then it must be true that the person is in Heaven, at least since the date of canonization.

Beatifications are not infallible, for example. They lack the note of universality. It is within the realm of possibility (not likely, but still possible) that a Decree of Beatification of someone is erroneous. In the case of Canonizations of Saints, however, the Holy See is infallible. This means, absolutely free from all error.

In the spirit of Truth, I need to correct my first sentence here because there have been many more popes declared as saints, not only five. Closer to 80, actually.

As a sort of footnote to all the other harm Paul VI did, it may be mentioned that he decreed that the so-called imprecatory psalms be omitted from the new Liturgy of the Hours. Consequently, 120 verses of the Psalter, comprising three whole psalms and additional verses from nineteen others, were edited out of the official prayer of the Church.

St. Thomas Aquinas (presumably along with many other saints) didn't have a problem with the turn or burn aspect aspect of imprecatory prayer.  If the sinner turns/converts that is a great good and if he doesn't he may be terminated with Divine Justice which is also inseparable from God's mercy since the sinner ends up in hell, but not in as deep a level so to speak as he would have ended up if he had been allowed to go on sinning.

If it was about the process itself, then we would never have the certainty of the sainthood of any saint in the past. We could go back and "double check" all of them, to guarantee that due ecclesiastical procedures were met.

No, it is not about the procedure but about the Magisterial Decree of Canonization issued by the Holy See (obviously signed and approved by the highest authority in the Church: the Pope of Rome)

It's common sense.

New Church Canonizations 
December 2002


Dear Friends and Benefactors,
The October 6 “canonization” of Msgr. Escrivá de Balaguer, founder of the “Opus Dei”, like the September “beatification" of Pope John XXIII, launcher of Vatican II, re-opens an old and hurtful wound – how can the Catholic Church do such things? And if it is not the Catholic Church that is doing them, what is it?
For indeed it is clear beyond any doubt that the Catholic Church prior to Vatican II, when she was still essentially faithful to Catholic Tradition, would never have beatified the Pope who initiated the Council which devastated that Tradition, nor canonized the founder of “Opus Dei”, an organization preparing the way for that Council.
There is an abundance of quotes, proudly published by “Opus Dei” itself, to prove that Msgr. Escrivá shared and promoted key ideas of Vatican II. Here are two: Msgr. Escrivá himself said, “Ours is the first organization which, with the authorization of the Holy See, admits non-Catholics, Christian or non-Christian. I have always defended liberty of conscience” (“Conversaciones con Mons. Escrivá”, ed. Rialp, p.296). And his successor at the head of “Opus Dei” said about Msgr. Escrivá’s book “Camino”, “It prepared millions of people to get in tune with, and to accept in depth, some of the most revolutionary teachings which 30 years later would be solemnly promulgated by the Church at Vatican II” (“Estudios sobre ‘Camino’”, Msgr. Alvaro del Portillo, ed. Rialp, p.58).
Therefore, for Pope John XXIII to have been truly a Blessed, and for Msgr. Escrivá to have been truly a Saint, the Second Vatican Council would have to have been a true Council, or a Council true to Catholic Tradition. Which is ridiculous, as at least regular readers of this Letter know. Yet are not Catholic canonizations meant to be infallible?
Indeed before Vatican II, Catholic theologians agreed that canonizations (not beatifications) of Saints were virtually infallible, for two main reasons. Firstly, the proposing of model Catholics to be venerated and imitated as Saints is so central to Catholics’ practice of their faith, that Mother Church could hardly be mistaken in the matter. This being so, secondly, the pre-Vatican II Popes took such care in examining candidates for canonization, and successful candidates they canonized with such solemnity, that their act of canonizing was as close as could be to a pronouncement of the Popes’ solemn and infallible magisterium.
But since Vatican II, firstly the models chosen for imitation are liable, like John XXIII and Msgr. Escrivá, to be chosen for their alignment on Vatican II, i.e. on the destruction of Catholic Tradition, and secondly, the formerly strict process of examination of candidates has been so loosened under the Vatican II popes and there has followed such a flood of canonizations under John Paul II, that the whole process of canonizing has lost, together with its solemnity, any likelihood of infallibility. Indeed, how can John Paul II intend to do anything infallible, or therefore do it, when he often acts and talks, for instance about “living tradition”, as though Truth can change?
So this or that Saint “canonized” by John Paul II may in fact be in Heaven, even Msgr. Escrivá, God knows, but it is certainly not his “canonization” by this Pope which can make us sure of the fact. Nor need we then feel obliged to venerate any of the post-Vatican II “Saints”.
Which leaves us with the problem we began with: the Catholic Church has the divine promise of indefectibility, i.e. it cannot fail (“Behold, I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world” - Mt. XXVII, 20). Then how can canonizations, which are meant through infallibility to partake in that indefectibility, fail, by partaking instead in Vatican II? Are we not obliged to admit either that Vatican II was not so bad after all (as the priests of Campos are now doing), or else that the sedevacantists are right after all in saying that John Paul II is not really pope? Sedevacantism would explain any amount of fallibility on his part!
The Society of St. Pius X, following Archbishop Lefebvre (1905-1991), adopts neither the Conciliar nor the sedevacantist solution. It believes that the Second Vatican Council was amongst the greatest disasters in the history of the Catholic Church, yet it considers that the popes who promoted that Council and its ideas (John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, and John Paul II) were or are true popes. How can that be? How can true popes so act as to destroy the true Church?
Firstly, God creates all of us human beings free, with free will, because He does not want robots in His Heaven. That applies also to the churchmen, to whom He chooses to entrust His Catholic Church. These have there-fore an astonishing degree of freedom to build up or to destroy the Church. For instance, when Our Lord asks if he will find the Faith when he comes back on earth (Lk XVIII, 8), we know for certain that by men’s (not only church-men’s) fault, the Catholic Church will be very small at the Second Coming.
However Our Lord also promised that the gates of Hell would never prevail against his Church (Mt. XVI, 18), and so we also know for certain that God will never allow the wickedness of men to go so far as to destroy His Church completely. In this certainty that the Church will never completely fail lies her indefectibility, and since the first function of the Church is to teach Our Lord’s doctrine of salvation, then upon indefectibility in existing follows infallibility in teaching. For souls of good will, the Catholic Church and her Truth will always be there.
So the Catholic Church to the end of time will never cease, on however small a scale, to make heard amongst men the doctrine of salvation, the Deposit of the Faith. From eternity this doctrine proceeds from God the Father to God the Son, it was faithfully entrusted by the Incarnate God to His Apostles, and it has been handed down as unchanging Tradition through the successors of the Apostles ever since. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away”, says Our Lord (Lk. XXI, 33). In fact unchangingness is so essential to this doctrine, that conformity with Tradition is the criterion of the Church’s infallible ordinary magisterium. In other words if one wants to know what cannot be false in the day-to-day teaching of the Church’s teachers, the way to tell is to measure what is being said against what the Church has said down all the centuries. If it corresponds to Tradition, the teaching is infallible, and if it does not, it is not infallible. Moreover, the Church’s infallible extraordinary magisterium is the servant of this ordinary magisterium, insofar as it provides a divinely protected guarantee that such and such a doc-trine belongs within the Church’s true doctrine, i.e. within ordinary Tradition.
Therefore Tradition, or conformity with what the Church has always taught, is the ultimate yardstick or measure of the Church’s infallible teaching, ordinary or extraordinary. Therefore anything outside Tradition is fallible, and anything contradicting Tradition is certainly false, for instance the new Vatican II teaching on religious liberty and ecuмenism. But John XXIII was beatified, and Msgr. Escrivá was “canonized”, for their sympathy with these Conciliar novelties. Therefore such “canonizations” are certainly to some extent contrary to Catholic Tradition, and to that ex-tent they are automatically not infallible, without my having to examine any further. “If an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema” (Gal I, 8).
So if one asks how it can be God’s own churchmen who do so much damage to His Church, the answer is that He gives them great freedom, short of letting them completely destroy His Church, and because out of any evil they do he will bring some greater good. For instance, out of dubious canonizations he can bring to “Traditional Catholics” a still better grasp of the primacy of Tradition.
And to the question how canonizations, meant to be infallible, can instead be Conciliar, the answer is that if God allows a pope to believe in Vatican II, He may surely also allow him to take action and to “canonize” in accordance with Vatican II, and to loosen the strict old rules of true canonization which virtually guaranteed the candidate’s conformity with Tradition. If Catholics are misled who blindly follow Church authority when it goes astray, that is their own problem, but Catholics who follow Tradition will, on St. Paul’s command, with prudence, “anathematize” any clear departure from it.
So we may absolutely refuse Vatican II and all its pomps and all its works and yet not have to become sedevacantists, so long as we understand that Church indefectibility does not mean that large parts of the Church will never be destroyed, only that the Church will never be completely destroyed. Similarly Church infallibility does not mean that the Church’s teachers will never teach untruth by, for instance, dubious “canonizations”, only that, amongst other truths, the truth of Christian sanctity will never be totally falsified or silenced.
In conclusion, these more or less Conciliar “canonizations” are correspondingly fallible, and are automatically not infallible. Obviously, Padre Pio was an entirely Traditional Saint, and we need not doubt the worthiness of his canonization. However, it might be advisable not to profit by his Newchurch “canonization” to venerate him officially or in public, insofar as that might be liable to give to other Newchurch “canonizations” a credit which is not due to them.
Dear readers, I must warmly thank all of you whose spiritual and material support has carried the seminary through a remarkably happy calendar year. All September’s entrants are still with us, in fact two more have come! Very many thanks.
Let the men sign up for the five-day retreat here from December 26 to 31. And let me wish all of you a happy Christmas free of sentimentalism, but forgive me if I again invite you to send me no cards, because I am abroad until early January. Get sentimental about my poor desk!

At some point in early Church history, all the earliest popes were believed to be saints, but that doesn't mean they were "canonized." 
.
The process of canonization developed over the centuries.
.
Read in your missal, in the Canon, most of the saints are mentioned by their first name only, without "St." or "Saint" before the names.
.
It was common practice to refer to saints as "Blessed" and some even as "Venerable." Venerable Bede, for example.
.
In the 13th century (the time of St. Thomas Aquinas) canonization of saints was quite different from what it is today.
.
In fact, canonizations just 100 years ago were quite different from what they are today.

This embarrassing turn of events naturally did not go unnoticed. TIME Magazine reported that Montini’s body had to get an extra supply of formaldehyde to slow down the decomposition process that had already set in:

Quote
With the Pope garbed in a red chasuble, slippers and gloves and a gold-and-white miter on his head, some 60,000 mourners filed past his body. Then, with more than 5,000 soldiers and police standing guard against Italy’s unpredictable terrorists, a hearse drove the body along the 15-mile route to St. Peter’s. For a time the body was sealed in its casket. But when Cardinals arriving in Rome voiced disappointment, it was again put on view—in front of the high altar, where only the Pope or his delegate may say Mass. (The body had to be injected with more formaldehyde because it was already decomposing in the late summer heat.)
(“In Search of a Pope” (https://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,919823,00.html), TIME Magazine, Aug. 21, 1978 )
Paul VI’s biographer, Peter Hebblethwaite, relates the following about Montini’s death: “As Mass ends Paul has a massive heart attack. It is as though he had exploded from within. [Rev. John] Magee thinks he would have been thrown out of bed had his hand not been held” (Paul VI: The First Modern Pope (https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/080910461X/interregnumnow-20) [New York, NY: Paulist Press, 1993], p. 710).

Another interesting point to note is that Paul VI’s body began to turn dark as he was lying in state. This phenomenon was quite visible, and a close-up cutout of the above shows it:

(https://novusordowatch.org/wp-content/uploads/paul6-up-close-green-black.jpg)
We suspect that out of all the images the Vatican will present for their new “Saint” Paul VI, pictures of his rotting, stinking, discolored corpse will not be among them, hence we are happy to help out.

Our Lady of Sorrows pray for us, Our Lady Destroyer of Heresies pray for us.

The smoke of Satan has indeed filled the Church of the Anti-Christ, the Novus Ordo Church. These poor souls will now be praying to their 'Saint' Paul VI just as I had been praying daily in a Novus Ordo 'Adoration Chapel' prior to October 2016 to their Novus Ordo 'Saints' John XXIII and John Paul II. We Catholics who know the truth must persevere in praying, fasting and doing all we can to lead as many of these poor souls as we can out of the fog of modernism into the light of the traditional Catholic faith and religion. The only antidote for the poison of modernism is to hold fast to tradition.

May God have mercy on us all. One would hope that the 'canonization' of Montini would wake up a few more souls but modernism is the 'deception par excellence' and few souls will recognize it for what it truly is. I didn't leave the Novus Ordo due to the discovery of modernism that came much later. I didn't know about the modernism of the Vatican II 'Popes' until after leaving the Novus Ordo. One cannot see clearly when one is immersed in the fog of modernism. I first recognized and rejected the false teachings of Bergoglio and then began to diligently study the history of the Catholic religion. After this study it became clear to me that a metamorphosis had transpired after Vatican II.

I was born, raised, indoctrinated and practiced this false religion for 58 years so what woke me up to the truth? Forty years of daily rosary led me out of the Novus Ordo modernist fog. Thanks be to Our Lord Jesus Christ and the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary.

Thanks be to God for all those Catholics who didn't abandon the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, but instead held fast to tradition following the Vatican II takeover by the modernists. Where would I be today if they hadn't been faithful? The modernist clerics handed my parents over to the modernists, I was subsequently handed over by my parents to the modernists and then I handed my children over to the modernists. Two generations of indoctrinated modernists are now part of history.

What should we think now of these young people attending the Novus Ordo 'Youth Synod', led by their Novus Ordo Pope, gifted by these same Novus Ordo youth with a witches stang to use for his Papal ferula? Now they will pray to their Novus Ordo 'Saint Paul VI' for deliverance from evil? They will try to imitate his supposed life of heroic virtue? Do they not know what kind of an evil man this 'saint' really was, how this modernist has been instrumental in the crucifixion and death of the mystical body of Christ? Yes, I believe most Catholics post Vatican II are already dead spiritually speaking, I was one of them. My resurrection from this spiritual death was obtained through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, discovering the Catholic religion, its teachings, practices and sacraments and then holding fast to them.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us, Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us.

How could God allow his Vicar on Earth to bind the faithful to universally revere a damned soul and to have His Church pray to and ask the intercession of a damned soul?
God could not do so. Therefore, Frank must not actually be His Vicar on Earth but some sort of imposter anti-Christ who excommunicated himself when he and others tampered with the election process.

Let us offer up our suffering to God for this assault on our beloved Church.

Or perhaps, Bergoglio was never a true Catholic priest to begin with as he was ordained post-Vatican II in 1969.  

Worse, Bergoglio was a Jesuit, and back when he was in the seminary, he certainly knew of Teilhard de Chardin and was of the same mindset.

In 1965 when I was at Holy Names College in Oakland, the books by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin were very popular and were even being used in our theology classes.


Quote
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Jesus)  ...  1 May 1881 – 10 April 1955) was a French idealist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_idealism) philosopher and Jesuit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Jesus) priest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_priesthood) who trained as a paleontologist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleontology) and geologist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology) and took part in the discovery of Peking Man (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peking_Man). He conceived the vitalist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitalism) idea of the Omega Point (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Point) (a maximum level of complexity and consciousness towards which he believed the universe was evolving) and developed Vladimir Vernadsky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Vernadsky)'s concept of noosphere (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noosphere).

Although many of Teilhard's writings were censored by the Catholic Church (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum) during his lifetime because of his views on original sin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_sin#Roman_Catholicism), Teilhard has been posthumously praised by Pope Benedict XVI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_XVI) and other eminent Catholic figures, and his theological teachings were cited by Pope Francis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis) in the 2015 encyclical, Laudato si' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laudato_si%27). The response to his writings by evolutionary biologists has been, with some exceptions, decidedly negative....

The point is, the new process is not the same as the one St Thomas was commenting on.  So, it's an apples-oranges comparison and the new process opens the door for discussion/gray area/doubt, which is the conclusion being reached by many, even in the novus ordo.

No, the point is that the process has nothing to do with it.  So, what, now, you're going to dispute the dogma of the Assumption because upon further investigation you decided that they did not do a careful enough theological study of the matter?  This is preposterous.  Infallibility is a guarantee by God for the good of the Church and has nothing to do with the prudence or imprudence or learning or ignorance of the men who exercise Magisterium.

It's a mid-level infallibility (which is based on the understanding of infallibility PREVIOUS to Vatican I's definition) which is not dogmatic but only a "certainty of faith".  To say that canonizations are infallible without qualifying and explaining that it's a different infallibility than dogma is being untruthful.

As you said:  This has been said many times, but you don't want to believe it.

Correct, you may follow some theologians in holding that the infallibility of canonizations is only theologically certain and not de fide.  Consequently, you are merely committing a mortal sin in rejecting it and are not a heretic in the strict sense of the word.

Ah, yes, "Saint" Montini:

Quote
Paul VI was outed by the gαy French writer Roger Peyrefitte, in a 1976 interview he did in response to that pope’s anti-gαy edicts. According to Peyrefitte, who knew his way around aristocratic circles in France and Italy, Paul VI led an active gαy life while he was still Archbishop of Milan. Recalling the incident in a gαy Sunshine (https://amzn.to/2iafzr9)interview, Peyrefitte recalled that Montini “had a relationship with a young movie actor” named Paul, whose name Montini took when he became pope. The future pope also visited “a discreet house” where he and other Milanese notables would “meet boys.” Peyrefitte’s revelations caused a sensation, and a sharp rebuttal from the Vatican.

There is a formal process for canonizations because they are both human/divine decisions.  The fact that the Church has asked heaven for miracles to approve of the canonization, shows that the pope does NOT have the same protection in declaring a saint that he does in teaching dogma.  In fact, there is NO PROCESS the pope must follow BEFORE he teaches ex cathedral.  Conversely, the canonization process BEFORE the canonization decree USED TO BE extensive.  

These differences between the 2 processes (dogma vs canonization) prove that the level of authority of the pope and the consequent imposition on our consciences are radically different.

From the CE:

Quote
Canonization, therefore, creates a cultus which is universal and obligatory (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11189a.htm). But in imposing this obligation (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11189a.htm) the pope (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12260a.htm) may, and does, use one of two methods, each constituting a new species of canonization, i.e. formal canonization and equivalent canonization. Formal canonization occurs when the cultus is prescribed as an explicit and definitive decision, after due judicial process and the ceremonies usual in such cases. Equivalent canonization occurs when the pope (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12260a.htm), omitting the judicial process and the ceremonies, orders some servant of God (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm) to be venerated (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05188b.htm) in the Universal Church; this happens when such a saint (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04171a.htm) has been from a remote period the object of veneration, when his heroic virtues (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07292c.htm) (or martyrdom (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09736b.htm)) and miracles (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10338a.htm) are related by reliable historians, and the fame of his miraculous (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10338a.htm) intercession is uninterrupted. Many examples of such canonization are to be found in Benedict XIV (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02432a.htm); e.g. Saints Romuald (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13179b.htm), Norbert (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11100b.htm), Bruno (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03014b.htm), Peter Nolasco (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11770b.htm), Raymond Nonnatus (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12671b.htm), John of Matha, Felix of Valois (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06033c.htm), Queen Margaret of Scotland (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09655c.htm), King Stephen of Hungary (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14287a.htm), Wenceslaus Duke of Bohemia (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15587b.htm), and Gregory VII (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06791c.htm). Such instances afford a good proof (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12454c.htm) of the caution with which the Roman Church (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07424b.htm) proceeds in these equivalent canonizations. St. Romuald (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13179b.htm) was not canonized until 439 years after his death, and the honour (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07462a.htm) came to him sooner than to any of the others mentioned. We may add that this equivalent canonization consists usually in the ordering of an Office (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11219a.htm) and Mass (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09790b.htm) by the pope (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12260a.htm) in honour (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07462a.htm) of the saint (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04171a.htm), and that mere enrollment in the Roman Martyrology does not by any means imply this honour (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07462a.htm) (Benedict XIV (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02432a.htm), l, c., xliii, no 14).

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02364b.htm

So, we see that the Pope in fact has the power to decree a canonization omitting all judicial process and the formal ceremonies. Who would have thought ::)? The Pope is after all, true Vicar of Christ on earth, and legitimate successor of St Peter, not just a random official who no one owes any respect or obedience.

The infallibility of canonizations is a dogmatic fact. As per the CE definition, a dogmatic fact is a fact connected with a dogma and on which the application of the dogma to a particular case depends. In this case, the Catholic dogma is the Communion of the Saints.

The Papal approbation of a saint for public veneration, is the note which makes it universal, different from a beatification, and therefore infallible, and binding to all the faithful.

I rather believe the Catholic Encyclopedia on this one, than Pax Vobis.

Under the CE, 1917 entry "dogmatic fact":

Quote
By a dogmatic fact, in wider sense, is meant any fact connected with a dogma (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05089a.htm) and on which the application of the dogma (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05089a.htm) to a particular case depends.

The following questions involve dogmatic facts in the wider sense: Is Pius X (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12137a.htm), for instance, really and truly Roman Pontiff (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12260a.htm) [1909], duly elected and recognized by the Universal Church? This is connected with dogma (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05089a.htm), for it is a dogma (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05089a.htm) of faith (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm) that every pontiff duly elected and recognized by the universal Church is a successor of Peter. Again, was this or that council ecuмenical? This, too, is connected with dogma (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05089a.htm), for every ecuмenical council (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04423f.htm) is endowed with infallibility (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07790a.htm) and jurisdiction (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08567a.htm) over the Universal Church. The question also whether canonized (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02364b.htm) saints (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04171a.htm) really die in the odour of sanctity (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07386a.htm) is connected with dogma (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05089a.htm), for every one who dies in the odour of sanctity (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07386a.htm) is saved.

At some point in early Church history, all the earliest popes were believed to be saints, but that doesn't mean they were "canonized."
.
The process of canonization developed over the centuries.
.
Read in your missal, in the Canon, most of the saints are mentioned by their first name only, without "St." or "Saint" before the names.
.
It was common practice to refer to saints as "Blessed" and some even as "Venerable." Venerable Bede, for example.
.
In the 13th century (the time of St. Thomas Aquinas) canonization of saints was quite different from what it is today.
.
In fact, canonizations just 100 years ago were quite different from what they are today.

It was just since Pope Urban VIII's Apostolic letter Caelestis Hierusalem cives in 1634 that canonizations and beatifications were exclusively reserved to the Apostolic See. This Pope also regulated both of them by issuing his Decreta servanda in beatificatione et canonizatione Sanctorum (1642).

(We went through the rather expensive process of obtaining the rights to be allowed to display this picture in full, and we hope our readers benefit from it.)
This embarrassing turn of events naturally did not go unnoticed. TIME Magazine reported that Montini’s body had to get an extra supply of formaldehyde to slow down the decomposition process that had already set in:
Paul VI’s biographer, Peter Hebblethwaite, relates the following about Montini’s death: “As Mass ends Paul has a massive heart attack. It is as though he had exploded from within. [Rev. John] Magee thinks he would have been thrown out of bed had his hand not been held” (Paul VI: The First Modern Pope (https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/080910461X/interregnumnow-20) [New York, NY: Paulist Press, 1993], p. 710).

Another interesting point to note is that Paul VI’s body began to turn dark as he was lying in state. This phenomenon was quite visible, and a close-up cutout of the above shows it:

We suspect that out of all the images the Vatican will present for their new “Saint” Paul VI, pictures of his rotting, stinking, discolored corpse will not be among them, hence we are happy to help out.

Our Lady of Sorrows pray for us, Our Lady Destroyer of Heresies pray for us.

The smoke of Satan has indeed filled the Church of the Anti-Christ, the Novus Ordo Church. These poor souls will now be praying to their 'Saint' Paul VI just as I had been praying daily in a Novus Ordo 'Adoration Chapel' prior to October 2016 to their Novus Ordo 'Saints' John XXIII and John Paul II. We Catholics who know the truth must persevere in praying, fasting and doing all we can to lead as many of these poor souls as we can out of the fog of modernism into the light of the traditional Catholic faith and religion. The only antidote for the poison of modernism is to hold fast to tradition.

May God have mercy on us all. One would hope that the 'canonization' of Montini would wake up a few more souls but modernism is the 'deception par excellence' and few souls will recognize it for what it truly is. I didn't leave the Novus Ordo due to the discovery of modernism that came much later. I didn't know about the modernism of the Vatican II 'Popes' until after leaving the Novus Ordo. One cannot see clearly when one is immersed in the fog of modernism. I first recognized and rejected the false teachings of Bergoglio and then began to diligently study the history of the Catholic religion. After this study it became clear to me that a metamorphosis had transpired after Vatican II.

I was born, raised, indoctrinated and practiced this false religion for 58 years so what woke me up to the truth? Forty years of daily rosary led me out of the Novus Ordo modernist fog. Thanks be to Our Lord Jesus Christ and the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary.

Thanks be to God for all those Catholics who didn't abandon the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, but instead held fast to tradition following the Vatican II takeover by the modernists. Where would I be today if they hadn't been faithful? The modernist clerics handed my parents over to the modernists, I was subsequently handed over by my parents to the modernists and then I handed my children over to the modernists. Two generations of indoctrinated modernists are now part of history.

What should we think now of these young people attending the Novus Ordo 'Youth Synod', led by their Novus Ordo Pope, gifted by these same Novus Ordo youth with a witches stang to use for his Papal ferula? Now they will pray to their Novus Ordo 'Saint Paul VI' for deliverance from evil? They will try to imitate his supposed life of heroic virtue? Do they not know what kind of an evil man this 'saint' really was, how this modernist has been instrumental in the crucifixion and death of the mystical body of Christ? Yes, I believe most Catholics post Vatican II are already dead spiritually speaking, I was one of them. My resurrection from this spiritual death was obtained through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, discovering the Catholic religion, its teachings, practices and sacraments and then holding fast to them.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us, Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us.

Remember little Jacinta of Fatima, who went to great lengths to do penance "for the Holy Father, who will have much to suffer." 
.
It's up for grabs as to just WHAT that suffering would be, as she never really got into that. Nor did she name the Holy Father.
.
But Our Lady gave her to know that the Holy Father's suffering would be great, and that by us offering voluntary acts of expiation for the Holy Father, it would somehow reduce his suffering.

Looking back at what she may have meant, I find it hard to imagine any suffering greater than that suffered by the damned in hell.

(We went through the rather expensive process of obtaining the rights to be allowed to display this picture in full, and we hope our readers benefit from it.)
This embarrassing turn of events naturally did not go unnoticed. TIME Magazine reported that Montini’s body had to get an extra supply of formaldehyde to slow down the decomposition process that had already set in:
Paul VI’s biographer, Peter Hebblethwaite, relates the following about Montini’s death: “As Mass ends Paul has a massive heart attack. It is as though he had exploded from within. [Rev. John] Magee thinks he would have been thrown out of bed had his hand not been held” (Paul VI: The First Modern Pope (https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/080910461X/interregnumnow-20) [New York, NY: Paulist Press, 1993], p. 710).

Another interesting point to note is that Paul VI’s body began to turn dark as he was lying in state. This phenomenon was quite visible, and a close-up cutout of the above shows it:

(https://novusordowatch.org/wp-content/uploads/paul6-up-close-green-black.jpg)
We suspect that out of all the images the Vatican will present for their new “Saint” Paul VI, pictures of his rotting, stinking, discolored corpse will not be among them, hence we are happy to help out.

Our Lady of Sorrows pray for us, Our Lady Destroyer of Heresies pray for us.

The smoke of Satan has indeed filled the Church of the Anti-Christ, the Novus Ordo Church. These poor souls will now be praying to their 'Saint' Paul VI just as I had been praying daily in a Novus Ordo 'Adoration Chapel' prior to October 2016 to their Novus Ordo 'Saints' John XXIII and John Paul II. We Catholics who know the truth must persevere in praying, fasting and doing all we can to lead as many of these poor souls as we can out of the fog of modernism into the light of the traditional Catholic faith and religion. The only antidote for the poison of modernism is to hold fast to tradition.

May God have mercy on us all. One would hope that the 'canonization' of Montini would wake up a few more souls but modernism is the 'deception par excellence' and few souls will recognize it for what it truly is. I didn't leave the Novus Ordo due to the discovery of modernism that came much later. I didn't know about the modernism of the Vatican II 'Popes' until after leaving the Novus Ordo. One cannot see clearly when one is immersed in the fog of modernism. I first recognized and rejected the false teachings of Bergoglio and then began to diligently study the history of the Catholic religion. After this study it became clear to me that a metamorphosis had transpired after Vatican II.

I was born, raised, indoctrinated and practiced this false religion for 58 years so what woke me up to the truth? Forty years of daily rosary led me out of the Novus Ordo modernist fog. Thanks be to Our Lord Jesus Christ and the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary.

Thanks be to God for all those Catholics who didn't abandon the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, but instead held fast to tradition following the Vatican II takeover by the modernists. Where would I be today if they hadn't been faithful? The modernist clerics handed my parents over to the modernists, I was subsequently handed over by my parents to the modernists and then I handed my children over to the modernists. Two generations of indoctrinated modernists are now part of history.

What should we think now of these young people attending the Novus Ordo 'Youth Synod', led by their Novus Ordo Pope, gifted by these same Novus Ordo youth with a witches stang to use for his Papal ferula? Now they will pray to their Novus Ordo 'Saint Paul VI' for deliverance from evil? They will try to imitate his supposed life of heroic virtue? Do they not know what kind of an evil man this 'saint' really was, how this modernist has been instrumental in the crucifixion and death of the mystical body of Christ? Yes, I believe most Catholics post Vatican II are already dead spiritually speaking, I was one of them. My resurrection from this spiritual death was obtained through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, discovering the Catholic religion, its teachings, practices and sacraments and then holding fast to them.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us, Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us.

The same web page quoted above has a wonderful feature.
In fact, the quote above is the SECOND PART of the "tribute" and what's below is from the First Part!
It provides a list of 50 titles or namesakes that apply to Paul VI, a.k.a. Montini.
It seems to me that there is no one else in the history of the world, to whom all these titles apply so well!
.
.
Of course, we will now be inundated with all sorts of smart blog posts, articles, and veritable treatises from the recognize-and-resist crowd (those who consider themselves traditional Catholics but accept the Novus Ordo popes as valid while rejecting their Modernist teachings and laws) to assure us either that (1) the canonization of Paul VI was not infallible; or that (2) Paul VI is indeed a saint, but this doesn’t really mean anything other than that he, through a miracle of grace, was able to save his soul at the last minute and thus attained to the Beatific Vision. In other words: If Catholicism contradicts their position, they will simply tweak Catholicism until it fits.
Meanwhile, however, we have decided to pay our own respects to this Monster of Modernism, the Unholy Paul VI. Let the following two tidbits be a well-deserved “tribute” to this latest Novus Ordo “saint”, whom people unhappily caught up in the Conciliar Sect will now invoke as an intercessor, pay him homage, offer “Mass” in his honor, and venerate him as though he had been an exemplar of Catholic Faith and virtue, when in all likelihood this soul-destroying perverter of Catholicism is currently burning in the lowest pits of hell.
We begin, therefore, with a little “Litany to Saint Paul VI”, a list of 50 outrageous titles that can justly be applied to this new anti-saint.
.
The idea, of course, is not to ask anyone to use this for an actual litany (God forbid!*), but rather to point out vividly the absurdity of taking this wicked man for a saint of the Catholic Church.
.
*[Their version has lower case letters in many places but I tried this, below, with capital letters for the proper names and I think it looks better -- they might have done that at NovusOrdoWatch except then perhaps they feared someone copying it might "use this for an actual litany."]

“St.” Paul VI was the…
.

.
It probably will not take long before someone in the Novus Ordo Sect comes up with a litany to Paul VI, although we suspect it won’t contain any of these titles.

So, a *process* which was invented and instituted by the Church, through legislation of the popes, guarantees the infallibility, but it is not the papacy itself which guarantees the infallibility?
So, a pope cannot change this process of canonization?
These people are grasping at straws. Anything but sedevacantism.

Thanks for saying so clearly that yes, the language of the decree of canonization is infallible, and yes, this means that Francis is an impostor, he is not validly Pope.

I am more and more impatient with those who want to make mental loopholes explaining why it's really okay that he did this "because we few intelligent people know that it doesn't really count." How preposterous.

The sooner we have an explicit schism, the better. In the ancient church, a bishop who broke communion would have his name "struck from the diptychs." When will some cardinal or bishop have the courage to strike Francis from the diptychs? To say, no, we are NOT "in union with Francis our Pope" because he is not pope.

The image of Guadalupe from Admiral Doria’s ship is now enshrined in the Church of San Stefano in Aveto, Italy. Don Juan’s papal banner is in the Escorial. Admiral Marco Antonio Colonna’s threadbare standard is in Gaeta’s Pinacoteca Communale. One of Ali Pasha’s banners is in the Church of Santo Stefano in Pisa. Another is in the Palazzo Ducale of Venice. Pasha’s flagship banner decorated with Quranic verses from the 48th surah Al-Fath (The Victory) hung near the tomb of St. Pius V in Santa Maria Maggiore. In 1965 Pope Paul VI attempted a gesture of goodwill by returning it to the Turks. Indulging some apophasis, it is not necessary to comment that Paul VI was not a military man. The gesture was perplexing to those who harbor a memory of sacrificial valor, and it must have been an awkward reminder to descendants of the defeated. The banner now hangs in the Naval Museum of Istanbul.

By the mid 20th century it seems the tables had been turned on Christian Europe, which was not left with much Christianity. No surprise. This had been foretold in numerous prophecies throughout the ages, but nevertheless, here it was, and here was Pope Paul VI making his “magnanimous” gesture of “good will” – as he publicly returned the Turkish banner, captured at Lepanto, back to the Turkish government! https://thesprucetunnel.wor...

I don't know of such a rule. Pope Pius XII canonized St. Pius X only 40 years after his death.
Besides, a pope is the supreme legislator, and is above any ecclesiastical law or custom.
But with regard to the Novus Ordo, one is only limited by one's imagination. I can see Jorge the Humble, from his deathbed, commanding his church to canonize him immediately after his death. Certainly the Novus Ordo perfidious mob will be shouting, "Santo subito!"

I'm a Traditional Catholic who attends mass with the FSSP. I pray the daily rosary, abstain from meat on Fridays in remembrance of the fact that Jesus was crucified for our sins on that day, go to regular confession, and try to attend mass during weekdays, so please don't take me for a Novus Ordo heretic! While I haven't gone sedevacantist yet, the systematic canonization of Vatican II popes seems to me like a barely disguised attempt to canonize Vatican II itself.

Out of 266 popes, I've counted 85 saints, or 32% of the total. But most of these saints were in the first 7 centuries of the church, when virtually 100% of popes achieved sainthood. For 10 centuries until the 20th century, papal canonization rates hovered around 0%. Now a full 50% of popes following Pius XII have been canonized. Once Venerable John Paul 1 is made a saint, the figure will be 75%. If we remove Popes Francis and Benedict (who are both in line to be made saints, according to Pope Francis), a full 100% of Vatican II popes will have been sanctified.

Given the near 0% rate for the previous 10 centuries, this is remarkable. Either we are witnessing an unprecedented revival in papal sainthood, most remarkable in a de-Christianised Europe. Or else it's the Novus Ordo being canonized. The possibility that sainthoods are being awarded not for sainthood, but to shut down criticism of a liturgical reform that has done much to destroy the church, is troubling to say the least.

Sadly, it seems to me that the mystical body of Christ is now deeply divided. Between the Novus Ordo and the Traditionalists, for starters. But worse, Traditionalists themselves are divided into 3 camps, none of whose positions I find entirely satisfactory:

-FSSP/ICKSP: as long as we get to keep the Latin mass and our traditional Catholic devotions, we pretend the Church is one big happy family. We accept the Novus Ordo as valid, but want nothing to do with it personally. No politics, we keep our heads firmly in the sand, and avoid rocking the boat. Not a peep about the multiple papal pronouncements which reek of heresy. Pretending all is well isn't entirely satisfactory from a logical perspective, or from a Christian one, which should focus on saving everyone, not just one's own small group.

-SSPX: We have the Latin Mass and traditional devotions, but are much more involved politically, pointing out that the Novus Ordo is almost like a new church, and opposing the Islamisation of the West. However, we also pretend there is no schism with Rome and we are in obedience to the Pope in fact when we are not. Politically, this is a bit more palatable, but it reeks of hypocrisy to pretend full unity with the Novus Ordo church when this isn't the case.

-Scedevacantist: Make excellent points about the disastrous state of the Church and the fact that the Novus Ordo liturgy and practices (like the collapse in the sacrament of confession) so contradicts Catholic teaching that it's virtually a new church. Scedevacantism seems to have logic and consistency. However, scedevacantism seems to contradict Jesus's promise that "You are Peter and on this rock I will build my church". The position that the church has been eclipsed is also eerily reminiscent of the radical Protestant position that the whore of Babylon (the Catholic church for them) eclipsed true Christianity for 1200 years until Martin Luther and John Calvin came along.

My other beef with the scedevacantists are that they seem to want to consign almost the entirety of humanity to hell (except for them and their friends). That's a little bit prideful to say the least, not to mention uncharitable. The Most Holy Family Monastery is a case in point. John Paul II is anathemised as a non-Catholic for having kissed the Quran. Mother Theresa is a heretic and a religious indifferentist for not having forced the conversion of Hindus. While there is much logic here (Islam is indeed the anti-Christ religion and Jesus is indeed the only way to salvation), there is very little in the way of Christian charity and compassion. The fact that Mother Theresa, when asked what pained her most about the world, replied "the way people receive the Holy Eucharist" (thus a direct indictment of cafeteria style communion, one of the things I find most reprehensible with the Novus Ordo), or asked that tabernacles be placed back in the centre of the church, is definitely not mentioned.

So there you are. Some traditionalists have intellectual rigour on their side, and make a number of excellent points, but seem to lack compassion, and are ready to consign most of humanity to hell with a trace of glee. Other traditionalists keep the liturgy and traditional practices, but withdraw into their corner and keep their heads in the sand regarding the state of the church/world. No position is entirely satisfactory. I am perfectly happy with my excellent FSSP and ICKSP priests.

My original question was, what is keeping you from s/v, is it dogmatic, emotional, psychological? Based on your response to me, and to others, it is emotional. Your posts talk about choices you have made and that you are "happy" with your choices, but do not address specific points of dogma that make clear the irreducibility of s/v.

I understand that some of your statements appear to address dogma, but, again, your response is emotional: you say, "However, scedevacantism seems to contradict Jesus's promise that "You are Peter and on this rock I will build my church"." "Seems" is not a dogma on which to base your life. If you are willing to examine this "seeming" contradiction according to Traditional Church teaching, you will find it is not.

This "seeming" contradiction is addressed exhaustively elsewhere on this website. Are you willing to walk down that road? If so, I, and others I expect, will help you find the posts on this website that address it.

Please bear in mind that fully addressing this (or most any other) single question will put to rest most, if not all, of the other questions.

I am a bit of a broken record with what I will say next, but, as I do with most non s/v newcomers, I heartily invite you to click on “Start Here” at the top of the page, read it, and bring to this combox any specific points of disagreement or questions.

As I pointed out, I find neither of the three traditional Catholic positions entirely satisfactory. One is putting its head in the sand. The other is acting a bit hypocritically. The third may well be right logically/dogmatically, but it's harsh, and seems to lack the love of neighbour.
Am more than happy with the FSSP TLM. No, Pope Francis is not my cup of tea, and if Vatican II bore any good fruits, I don't see any, but I'm not going to go around proclaiming that all post Pius XII popes are anti-pope heretics.

Perhaps third time’s a charm. We’ll see.

You said, "The third may well be right logically/dogmatically…”

I stopped the quote there, b/c dogmatic truth is what Christ gave us in the Church and is all that matters. Yes? If no, then graciously accept that you are Protestant but you are “happy” to attend services that look and sound Catholic.

Rest of quote,”…but it's harsh, and seems to lack the love of neighbour.”

Really? How about this, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” ? That IS dogma, not “happy” sentiment.

The truth can be very harsh indeed. “Cast not your pearls before swine…”. remember who said that? “Be ye hot or cold, if you are lukewarm I will spew you out of my mouth,” remember who said that? There are more...

This is also the person who, when tortured, bloody and hanging on a cross, with almost his last dying breath said, “Father forgive them, they know not what they do.”

You cannot have the one without the other.

It is not for us to pick and choose of the Truth what we like, what makes us “happy” in the moment. Jesus knows what makes happy for eternity and has provided for us. But eternal happiness, and true peace of mind in the moment, come through “Thy will be done,” not mine, or yours, or anyone else’s.

Again, I invite you to examine, with the harsh, burning, relentless light of day, the dogma you reject in order to be what you describe as “happy.”

If Jesus has to chose between the Christian who is dogmatically right, but prideful of his superior knowledge, or the one who is meek, humble and serves the poor, but occasionally errs dogmatically, even if unwittingly, who do you think He would chose? Mother Theresa, who spent 50 years helping the poorest of the poor in selfless devotion, but occasionally bordered on religions indifferentism, helping the poorest Hindus without forcibly converting them to Christianity. Or the armchair sedevacantist Catholic, who correctly points out the glaring contradictions between Vatican II and prior church teachings, anathemizes all post V2 popes as heretics and anti-popes, casts the stone at Mother Theresa, guilty of ecuмenism and religious indifferentism, and hasn't lifted a finger to help the poor, let alone sacrificed his life to them? I think Jesus will choose humility, humility, humility, kindness and compassion over intellectual rigour.
By the way, I don't reject dogma. Just pointing out that the sedevacantist position, which wishes to split itself from Rome, now declared the seat of the anti-Christ, seems to ignore Jesus's promise that the gates of hell will not prevail against His church (it's also rather a Protestant thing to do, an odd thing for Catholics more Catholic than the Pope). Anathemizing other Christians, casting the stone at Novus Ordo Catholics and recent popes, mistaken as they may have been, also reeks of pride. Our Lord Jesus famously exclaimed "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Are you without any sin, my friend?

Charles,

First, let me say that it is good to see a new commenter who is willing to talk about these issues and is open to embracing the truth wherever it may lead.

I notice, however, that you are considering the matter with too much emotion. Your argumentation above is essentially emotional. You might as well say you will go to every church that calls itself Christian and then go with whatever denomination you "feel" has the most loving, charitable, kind people in it.

Your job is not to find out where the most people are accidentally in the state of sanctifying grace, but where the true Church is, where true Catholicism is to be found.

This is not a question of intellectual rigor, this is a question of Faith vs. perfidy (no Faith). Faith is not simply an intellectual exercise. You can have all the kindness in the world, it nevertheless remains true that "without faith, it is impossible to please God" (Heb 11:6; cf. Mk 16:16).

You are confusing two things: (1) the objective reality about who does and does not profess the truth Faith; (2) the subjective reality that some who do not profess the true Faith may not be culpable for their heresy. We are only concerned with (1). The subjective state matters for the individual before God at the Last Judgment, but it does not relativize (1).

When you contrast the humble erring soul with the supposedly sinful sedevacantist, you are comparing apples to oranges. To have a fair comparison, you must contrast the virtuous sedevacantist with the virtuous Novus Ordo, or the sinful sedevacantist with the sinful Novus Ordo.

Let me also ask: Whence this harsh judgment of sedevacantists not having lifted a finger to help the poor? Do you even personally *know* any sedevacantists? I live among them and I have yet to find one who refuses to be charitable to the poor. A lot of virtue is hidden, as it should be. The fact is that you simply have no idea who gives how much in terms of corporal and spiritual works of mercy.

As for pride, well, we all suffer from it, and hopefully each of us will overcome it with the help of God's grace. Pride can manifest itself almost everywhere, and comes often under the guise of humility. Pride is a capital sin, meaning it is the source of many others, but it is oftentimes only a venial sin, unlike heresy, for example. So let's also keep things in perspective.

Although all sedevacantists, as virtually all other people in the world, have some amount of pride, the sedevacantist position itself is not prideful but one of humble submission to the timeless truths of the Faith. It is simply applying the dogmatic truth of Catholicism to the empirical facts of our day. The gates of hell have prevailed not if Francis isn't the Pope but if he is. This article and esp. its embedded video clip, makes the case why this is so: https://novusordowatch.org/...

One final point: Please read the book "Liberalism is a Sin" (1886) by Fr. Felix Sarda y Salvany. It was endorsed explicitly by the Sacred Congregation of the Index under Pope Leo XIII. It is a short read and very enlightening. It shows how much our world, our surroundings, our thoughts, have been tainted by Liberalism. It is not meant to be an accusation against you, it is simply meant as an important reality check to see how many ideas we are indoctrinated with by our society that are actually not Catholic but liberal. It has been a most enlightening read for me, and I think you will come away a different person. It is free to read online, and I promise you will not regret it: https://www.ewtn.com/librar...

May God bless.

Do you believe something I said to you was uncharitable? If so, please point it out to me. Charles, I cannot know your mind and heart, nor you mine.

A couple of posts ago, you said, "However, scedevacantism seems to contradict Jesus's promise that "You are Peter and on this rock I will build my church”."

I invited you to examine what has been written about that on this website. Your response to it is perhaps summed in your sentence, "Am more than happy with the FSSP TLM.”

So, how about this: Why do you think s/v contradict’s Jesus’ promise?

You asked if I am without sin. Alas, I am not.

I guess God is wrong (because He is too “mean”) and glorious man is right after all. Hurray, we’re all saved!

Scratch that, the God-given dogma of the Faith “may well be right”, but I am “more than happy” with my golden calfs of Latin Mass and religious tolerance, so goodbye Truth! It was great never knowing You!

Just saying that being an armchair sedevacantist Catholic who anathemizes all recent popes as heretics reeks a little of pride, wouldn't it? Everybody is wrong and is going to hell, except you and your friends - if that isn't pride (the root of all sins), I don't know what is. Also, claiming that the whole post-V2 Catholic church is an anti-Church which has eclipsed the true church seems to negate Jesus's promise that the gates of hell will not prevail against His church. It's also more than just a little bit reminiscent of Protestantism (the more radical among them claim that the Roman Catholic church eclipsed the true Christians in the 300s, fortunately they re-emerged in the 1500s).
Pope Francis is not my cup of tea. He's a deeply disruptive Pope, whose pronouncements frequently reek of heresy if not blasphemy. But the church which Jesus founded has survived bad popes before and it will survive Francis. Am not at all happy about the situation, but I don't walk around claiming all recent popes are heretics.

What is pride but man or angel usurping the throne of God and declaring himself God? The dogma of the Faith is revealed to the Catholic Church by the Holy Spirit, yet you accept and reject His dogmas based on what feels good to you, who is a saint based on who is deserving (“charitable”) in your own sight. And yet you have the gall to say that Catholics who hold fast to the precepts of Lord regardless of popular feeling are prideful? That CATHOLICS are the ones pushing God aside and separating the goats from the sheep ourselves, on our own whims? No, that is what YOU antichrists do.

You worship a false Jesus who cares more about feeding the body with wafers and happy sensations than feeding the soul with truth and suffering, which is in fact a reflection of yourself. You reveal it in your language when you say that Catholics “send people to hell” when they profess the Kingdom of God.

Man does not have the power to send anyone to hell. John the Baptist did not send Herod to hell, but only declared what was given to him by the Most High. And even if he had the “charity” to tell Herod that his situation is complex and God will forgive him, he wouldn’t have the power to make it so.

The truth is not based on the consensus of man. The consensus of man is exactly what condemned the truth to death on the cross, which is what you came here to do.

To hell with your “palatable” position. To hell with your “popes”. To hell with your “church”. To hell with your hate disguised as charity and your lies disguised as truth. To hell with your pride disguised as humility, too. And to hell with your father Satan disguised as an angel of light who gave these all to you.

God have mercy on your soul for persecuting Mother Church in her Passion.

SD: It is getting nearly impossible to find folks who are willing to study the faith and act on it. I am done with CharlesMartel. As a matter of fact, since I have such a short memory, I am now keeping, as of today, a list of "trolls," on my computer, which I will consult before responding to folks. If they are on the list, I am going to ignore them. The list will be for Feeneyites, private revelationists, R&R trolls (S?PX FSSP, ICKSP, etc.), hidden pope followers (some sort of Siri-appointed pope), various foul mouthed folks, lovers of novelty, etc. It is not worth the energy to depress the keys on the keyboard. All of them base their actions on something foreign to Catholicism as found in Papal pronouncements, Catechisms, 1917 Canon Law, well accepted pre-Vatican II theologians, St. Thomas, and other saints.

BE: Good idea about the troll list! Yes, they are guided not on the precepts of Holy Church, but of non serviam, do what thou wilt, the concupiscence of the flesh and the pride of life.

And they dissolve Christ. Like all heretics, they want us to forget that God truly died for love of us, so that we love Him and want to die for Him too. They would have us believe that such a love is “hate” insofar as it demands our reciprocation under pain of death and reveals the hearts of men as vain.

When they pray or fast, they offer sacrifices to the idols of their own sentimentality for love of themselves, according to laws they chose for themselves. And they call it “humility” to doubt God’s Church and have full confidence in the charity of man, but doubting man’s goodness and only trusting the simple Apostolic Faith is “pride”. So they abandon the immutable precepts of the Lord while holding fast to the changeable favoritisms of their heart and call it “justice”. When God chastises sinners in hope of pardoning them in this life, they call it “unjust” and offer these a new refuge in their own bosom, calling it “mercy” — although they “humbly” can’t say for sure and couldn’t care less whether this will save those sinners from hell. Such is their “charity”.

I only respond to these fools, not because I have any hope for them, but because it is a public forum. Who knows how many people read the comments.

I am continually being shown how foolish or gullible I am in thinking people are interested in learning the faith and adhering to it, come what may. I don't think there has been one person concerning whom I can say I have influenced to give up the N.O. and its hierarchy, and adhere to the Catholic religion and those priests and bishops who uncompromisingly do the same.

But the most disappointing thing is the illogical positions. If I wanted to argue with somebody about resistance welding, it would be logical for me to study resistance welding before I start spouting some cockamamie theory. If I wanted to argue about the health benefits of bottle-conditioned beer, you would think that I would study the subject before opening my mouth and babbling something stupid. If I wanted to argue about hydraulics and pneumatics in industrial automation, you would think that I would learn at least the basics of those disciplines before trying to teach people how to properly tackle an application. So, with regard to what is and what is not Roman Catholicism, one would expect people to at least study what the catechisms, the theologians, the councils and above all the popes have taught from St. Peter through Pope Pius XII, before coming to a conclusion on what is Catholic and what isn't; and what is morally permissible and what isn't; and what we should do and what we should not do.

It is mind-blowing. It is as if there was no Catholic Church, and no Catholic magisterium to look up from St. Peter though Pope Pius XII. It is as if we are permitted to just make things up as we go long. It is very discouraging.

I am a fool, too. But hey, more hope for a fool than a man wise in his own conceit!

We are living in the age of Luther, of subjectivism, of skepticism, of fragmenting and negating. I always underestimate the amount of mass media these worldlings consume and how deeply it affects them. But the drums beat louder and louder every day, to the chant of “YOUR truth and MY truth” “there is no such thing as THE truth”.

So it’s no wonder that they don’t inquire about the technical facts before starting a debate. There is no such thing as a debate in their world. Only different truths having an encounter lol. The only rule is not to step on someone else’s truth when stating your own. Denying their “truth babies” the right to exist is practically genocidal in their eyes. You might as well grow a little mustache and invade Poland lol.

We don’t understand that they don’t come here to debate (to have a logical discussion concerning the truth of a matter) in the first place. Their purpose is to bestow upon us their wonderful company while we all grope around in common darkness. And they are personally offended when we tell them to turn on the light and stop flailing around before they hurt themselves.

I hope you are right but I would like to ask: When you were in that transitory phase, did you comment on sedevacantist websites informing people of your “feelings” about theology, or accusing people you’ve never met and know nothing about of not giving enough alms towards the poor because their theological conclusion make you “feel” bad?

Did you reply to facts and references to good information by repeating said feelings as if your feelings were the rule of faith?

I just want to know if anyone who acts so ridiculously has ever converted. I understand getting facts wrong, but I don’t understand arguing feelings against facts. I think that might be the point of no return.

I really do sympathize with confused or simple minded people. But when people brush away facts with “well I’m satisfied doing things MY way, the humble (sic) way”, I don’t know. The spirit of Antichrist and worship of man is too strong.

It’s like when I tried to convert one Coptic friend of mine. After much appeal to emotion, she eventually admitted the primacy of the Bishop of Rome and that the Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ. But she refused to convert because “my family is holy people”. It’s better to sin against God, the Truth, than to sin against her holy people by admitting they’re (hopefully just innocently) wrong.

You can convert someone who wants to love God but doesn’t know where to find Him yet. You can’t convert someone who already looks Truth in the face and says “I hate you for not affirming MY holiness”. That is my experience at least.

But if we all want to be Catholics, why can't we all look to what the Catholic church believed, taught, practiced before all the rot started? I am sick of the High Church Anglican approach. Then the R&R adherents have the gall to say that we sedevacantists are abandoning the Catholic Church, when they complain about all the non-Catholic things that are officially promulgated and pushed in the Novus Ordo Church. It is they who have abandoned the Catholic Faith, and Catholic morality. They act like the Catholic Church is some sort of Jekyll-Hyde monster, both good and bad. They act like Our Lord's church is that which has tango masses, beach balls on the altar, stangs for crosiers, protestant fellowship meals, invalid orders, ecuмenism, religious liberty, divorce and re-marriage, and ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ clergy.

If Francis is the pope, you as a Catholic must adhere to his teachings. You must be true to his mind and his pronouncements (Amoris Laetitia for example). You are not allowed to say he is not your cup of tea. You cannot reject the saints he makes, you cannot reject his Novus Ordo Mass, you cannot reject the Luminous Mysteries, you cannot reject ANYTHING of the Novus Ordo.

Here is another way to look at it. Don't think of it as anathematizing the V2 "popes". Instead, think of how the Pope is the point of unity in the Faith. When one attends the Novus Ordo Missae, one is affirming before God that they hold the same faith as these popes and their false council. Considering all the heresies and apostasy that would include, could you do such a thing? I, for one, would hope to have the heroic faith it would take to die rather than offend God in such a way. Popes are to be our rulers and teachers, guiding us to salvation. One of the ways to test whether we have the faith is to ask ourselves, "Do I submit to what the Pope teaches?" I know that if I were to submit to the V2 popes and attend their mass, my soul would be in grave danger. These men cannot possibly be true popes.

This should be a wake up call to you (one of many). The problem is not the mass, although that is symptomatic of the problem. The problem is the faith. The faith of the new religion is different. As a matter of fact, everything is different.
They have new doctrines, new saints, new "mass," new (invalid) sacraments, new code of canon law, new catechisms, new theology, new morality.
Jorge blasphemes regularly. He only kneels for men but never for the "blessed sacrament."
I know it sounds harsh to you, but I honestly cannot understand how anyone could step into a church which is communion with Jorge, The Rat, The Deuce, the Smiling Luciani, Pee Wee Montini, or Rotund Roncalli. How does it not play on your conscience that you are kneeling at a mass which is in communion with that heretic, Jorge, and which also may be said by a layman pretending to be a priest (the new 1968 consecration rite of bishops is invalid, and the new ordination of priests is at least dubious).
It would be like going to "mass" at a church which has the picture of Luther in it. -Oh, wait, the Novus Ordo put out a stamp celebrating Luther, and "St." John Paul II called Luther a profoundly religious man and a great reformer.

As I said, I find Pope Francis deeply troubling and his statements reeking of heresy. Proselytism among Christians is a sin, equation of Islamic violence (mandated by the Quran against non-Muslims) with 'Catholic' violence (strictly prohibited by our religion), praise for everybody (atheists, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs, Muslims, you name it) except devout traditional Catholics (too "rigid"), the celebration of Martin Luther, who split the mystical body of Christ into 30,000 sects and deprived countless millions of Christians of the Holy Eucharist, the list is very long indeed. Not to mention one sickening Pope Francis "joke" about the crucifixion of Jesus. In that "joke", a Jєωιѕн man sends his badly behaved son to a Catholic school. After a month, the boy returns well behaved, and when the father asks why, the rector says he showed the boy a crucifix and told him that if he didn't behave, he would end up like that other Jєω on the cross. Joking about the torturous execution of a human being, let alone the Son of God, is unbelievable.

Pope Francis's incessant push to welcome Muslim invaders into Europe, which will inevitably result in a majority Islamic Europe within 50-100 years, given the demographics, is particularly painful to me. I was a fallen away Catholic for 28 years. I never set foot into a church and never prayed. My soul was dead, but I was oblivious to it. I was a cultural "Christian", ferociously opposed to the Islamisation of the West, but that was it. Exactly two years ago, I turned to Jesus as soon as I realised that the Islamisation of Europe is God's punishment for our apostacy. I didn't step into the nearest Catholic church largely because of Pope Francis's pro-Islam position, which is/was anathema to me. Instead I stepped into an Anglican church. There I received communion kneeling at the altar rail, which I had never had in my Novus Ordo youth. This humble act restored my faith immediately. Thanks to the internet, I immediately discovered that this was the way Holy Communion was distributed in the Catholic Church before Vatican II. I discovered the Latin Mass, the mass of all ages, had been suppressed. Returning to the traditional Catholic practices of regular confession, the Latin Mass, communion kneeling at the altar rail, meatless Fridays, the daily rosary, eucharistic adoration turned me from completely secular to devout Christian in a few weeks. I am deeply grateful to Jesus for my conversion and the most precious gift of all, the gift of faith.

However, I am happy with my deeply devout traditionalist FSSP/ICKSP parishes. There is no reason to seek out the SSPX or a scedevacantist chapel when Latin Masses in communion with Rome have done so much for my soul. While the FSSP does not do politics, I certainly do politics. Am very active on Breitbart, and tell everyone who will listen that the Islamisation of the West is God's punishment for our turning away from Jesus. My hope is that other secularised Westerners who oppose Islamisation on strictly political/cultural/nationalist grounds will follow the path I did: turn devout Christians in a jiffy. Having Pope Francis as Pope can be more difficult than wearing a hair-shirt at times, but let's be good Christians and pray for him.

I am sorry to have to say this, but your emotional reaction to what was objectively a mortal sin against the faith (going to a non-Catholic church and receiving their wafer, whether Anglican, or FSSP, or what have you), is not the way to judge the veracity of one's position.
How does it square up with the 1,925 years of infallible magisterium from St. Peter to Pius XII - that is how you judge the Catholicity and the moral rectitude of one's position.

My FSSP priest offers a reverential Latin mass. He tells us to pray the Holy Rosary daily, just as the Mother of God encouraged us to do at Fatima. He encourages regular confession of sins, which has fallen out of favour with most Novus Ordo priests. His piety and devotion are towards our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Virgin Mary, not the cult of man. He doesn't pray to Roncalli, Montini and Wojtyla, as far as I can tell (nor do we pray the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary). Pope Francis is not his cup of tea, however he doesn't go around proclaiming him to be an anti-pope (my ICKSP priest believes Francis is a bad pope, of which the church set up by Jesus Christ has seen - and survived - many).
My FSSP priest began his priestly training with Monseigneur Lefebvre, without whose efforts the Latin Mass would have nearly vanished. But, he disapproves of the SSPX because he believes that you should never cut off yourself from the mystical body of Christ even if, as he acknowledges, the church is very ill indeed. This is a devout, humble traditional priest trying to lead his flock to safety, and I am thankful for him.

I am done. There is an infinite difference between the R&R position and the sedevacantist position.
If you do not see it, we are wasting our time.

What is the R&R position? Not familiar with all acronyms.

Recognize the Post Vatican II "popes" but resist them. Recognize and Resist. It is 100% non Catholic.

Thanks. I don't entirely disagree with the view that secedevacantism has more logic to it than R&R traditionalism. Especially under the current pontificate, it is an increasingly palatable position.

Many saints have been incorrupt after death, but within hours after his death, Montini's corpose could have been smelled from Sicily if the wind were blowing just right.
While there are some saints whose bodies are incorrupt, that is not the type of miracle which is acceptable to the Congregation that oversees the canonization of saints.

Exactly, during the Early Church period, all or almost all the Popes were saints.

Persecution refines and purifies people.

It looks like only two Popes saints since 1566:

In case you missed it, the darkened skin on Bishop-of-Rome Francis is reminiscent of the dark blotches on Paul VI's corpse lying in state, see above (https://novusordowatch.org/wp-content/uploads/paul6-up-close-green-black.jpg).

I was told by a man who tried to defend the so-called canonization of JPII that two miracles were needed for him  to be canonized.
.
But the fact that in the end only one "miracle" was necessary, that was, itself, the second miracle!

Perhaps they made a mistake:  Pope Pius IX (d. 1878 ) was beatified, not Innocent XI.
.
Pius IX was pope for 32 years, the longest papacy in history.

Hard to say.  It could have been very close.  Some have the dates as 33-65, but it could have been 30-68.

Another NO saint for the NO church. Add this one to the multitude of NO saints. Have they made Luther a NO saint yet?
Since Francis likes him so much, he's probably thinking about it.

There's also a subtle pyramid shape from bottom to top of the painting, with the all-too-familiar 'all seeing eye' at the top.  So much satanic/freemasonic imagery, you could probably find much more.  But their time is coming to an end.  Let them rejoice at having control while they can.  Our Lady will destroy all their plans.

So only five Popes had ever been canonized in the whole history of the Church (that is almost two millennia!); but here comes the ʝʊdɛօ- freemasonic sect currently occupying the Vatican, "canonizing" each and every one of the conciliar impostors, as if it was nothing.

Very suspicious.  
Read this today on Rorate Caeli website

 https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2018/11/de-mattei-vigano-case-and-impasse-of.html (https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2018/11/de-mattei-vigano-case-and-impasse-of.html)

On April 27th 2014, John Paul II, however, was proclaimed a saint by Pope Francis, along with John XXIII. The canonization of a Pope means that in the execution of his office as Supreme Pastor of the Church, he had to have exercised on a heroic level, all virtues, including that of prudence. But whether out of complicity, negligence or imprudence, a Pope “covered up” for a “sɛҳuąƖ predator”, one could legitimately doubt his wisdom and prudence. And if for Tornielli this is so, it means that he doesn’t consider John Paul II a saint. In any case, a prelate close to him and Pope Francis, Monsignor Sciacca, Secretary to the Apostolic Signatura, “one of the most experienced canon lawyers of the Curia” (p.200). interviewed on September 9th 2014 by Tornielli himself, denied the infallibility of canonizations.  

If canonizations are not infallible, and Pope Francis could have erred about John Paul II, it is possible that that same day he erred also in proclaiming the sanctity of John XXIII and that likewise he was able to commit an error on October 14th2018 in canonizing Paul VI. This is not a minor point.  By raising the stakes, Tornielli not only places the supernatural prudence of Pope Wojtyla in doubt, but casts a shadow on recent canonizations, and, above all, reveals the impasse in which the Bergoglio pontificate finds itself.  An impasse which is precisely about the theme of infallibility.

Infallibility is in fact considered by Pope Francis a legacy of the Old Church, that which proclaimed and anathematized, that defined and condemned. The primacy of the pastoral over doctrine and of mercy over justice impedes Francis from exercising the munus of infallibility, which is the most categorical and least pastoral act a pontiff can make. Yet if he wants to impose his directives on the Church, Pope Bergoglio is in need of “quasi-infallibility” which excludes any form of disobedience to his will.  To carry out his program, the “quasi-infallible” Pope is constrained to become a “Dictator Pope”, which is happening today.

He is no pope.  He does not follow definitions set in place.
