  • Is the Novus Ordo Religion just the front for the heresy of Modernism that Pope St. Pius X condemned and warned about?

     Pacendi Dominici Gregis

    Pius X condemned Modernism as the "synthesis of all heresies".
    So,

    IS it not convenient to argue that the N.O. church is NOT manifestly the embodiment of Modernism?
    This attitude seems to allow one to perpetuate that the N.O. is comprised in membership - in some way between - a mix of true and false Catholics.
    That the office holders of the N.O. are also/simultaneously the true hierarchy of the true Catholic Church.
     That people really don't need to get out of the N.O. to be saved - but can remain in it and still belong to the true Church.
    This attitude allows one to feed "false hope" in a human solution to the "Crisis in the Church", and give the calming reassurance that things are not really as dire as they seem for such a large group of deceived people, who may otherwise innocently believe they are Catholic.

    IF the Novus Ordo is a false religion/sect...
    Poll: What is the N.O. church?

    AND

    IF the N.O. church is the front for Modernism - how can anyone who is in it (even if they are only in it because they honestly believe it is the Catholic Church who is teaching them) learn the true faith without error?

    At best, all they can become is Modernist public material heretics - and the common opinion of the theologians is that public material heretics do NOT belong to the Church, because you would simply never know what to believe. All that the false religion of the material heretics could teach you - was their erroneous/false faith.  No matter how much truth it contained - even if 99.9% was truth, but it contained a single condemned heresy, it is then to be considered heretical and no one who remains in heresy can be said to belong to the Church, nor be saved. 
    No one is to be considered Catholic who "departs in even one doctrine" Pope Leo XIII - Satis Cognitum.



    IF
    the N.O. church isn't the embodiment in practice/teaching of the already condemned heresy of Modernism,

    THEN
    what does it embody...

  • No, it's much worse than that.  Modernists within the Catholic Church were just the preparation for what was to come.  Vatican II and Conciliarism were created by deliberate, intentional, and conscious infiltrators bent upon destroying the Church and injecting the principles of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ into the Church, which they succeeded admirably in doing, and their principles were readily accepted by a clergy that had been prepared by Modernist influence to accept them.

    So, there are two basic paradigms for this Crisis, ...

    1) that it was just the natural result, over time, of more and more Catholics becoming infected with the error of Modernism, to the point that eventually some Popes were infected with the error, and then taught it officially.  In this paradigm, many "Churchmen" were well meaning, but misguided, wrongly believing that by "updating" the Church and making it more relevant, it would be more attractive to those in the world.

    2) that the Church was infiltrated and the errors were deliberately injected out of malice into the Church, errors that reflect the evil principles of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and Luciferianism.

    I believe that the primary impetus for this error having been introduced into the Church was in fact #2.  So, the Holy Ghost protects the papacy, and would not prevent natural progressions such as took place in #1 to directly cause a defection of the Magisterium.  BUT ... #1 also needed to happen as preparation for the errors to take hold and to be widely accepted.  Otherwise, had that not happened, 90%+ of the Church would have just spurned the V2 Antipopes and remained "Traditional Catholics" ... booting them to the side, and very possibly calling a General Council to declare them deposed.

    And "Modernism" is really just one smaller aspect of the larger error, the larger error being that of "subjectivism", as I pointed out on a Bishop Williamson thread.  He, like very few others, identified and named this root cause error of all the V2 errors.  And what is subjectivism, really?  It's the replacement of an objective truth outside of oneself with each individual becoming his own measure of truth, i.e. the replacement of God with man, i.e. the spirit of Antichrist as described by St. Paul.  It's the old "Do what thou wilt." philosophy that Satan has tricked some useful idiot followers into believing that it leads to their empowerment rather than their enslavement.  But they'll find out eventually.

    I now determine what my truth is, not God.  Just as Satan tricked Eve with "you shall be like gods".  Now, the next step with this transgender and transhumanist garbage is that "I can create myself."  So I do not accept what God created me to be (male or female), but I will decide and re-create myself according to my own designs.

  • So, you do NOT believe that the N.O. church is the embodiment of the practices/teachings of Modernism, but rather Subjectivism which has NOT yet been condemned as such (in explicit form as a heresy), and this is why you maintain that one can remain Catholic while still attached in some way to the N.O. structure?

    :facepalm: ... you've bumbled, fumble, and conflated about half a dozen things here and clearly have no comprehension of the last half dozen posts I've made.

    At this point, I have no choice but to just leave you with this ...

  • I doubt you even know what Modernism is, from a theological standpoint.  Admittedly it's quite confusing, but the main theological aspect of it can be distilled.

    So, define one or another erroneous Modernist proposition and then explain how/where it exists in Vatican II.  You just toss the word around and assume that Vatican II is a front for it without demonstrating it, just because Trads know the buzzword and have come to associate it with V2.

    No, no it's not.  You really have no clue what you're blabbering about, do you?

  • Make it simple:  New Order does not serve God in anyway shape or form.  But it serves the federal government.  Does not serve the souls of the people.  I read federal grants, and I had the proof before me, in 1990's.  They are a Glee Club of Masons.  The Pied Piper and brain-washed to brain dead people.  Makes me cry and want to pray that much more!!

  • But where it gets even more "sticky" is what this means for the R&R because they insist on associating with the N.O. to one degree or another. When you come out - you got to come aaallllll the way out - no 1/2 lukewarmness.

    It gets sticky for you, because you can't allow anyone to not agree with your opinions. You have to fight against us continually.

    Do you fight against the Novus Ordo folks too? Probably not. You would likely be banned quickly from a Novus Ordo Forum. But here.....you are of course allowed to say anything you want against R&R, with impunity. That must be a cause for joy for you.
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

  • That religion is based on a subjective need in man and not on objective Truth itself.

    This characteristic permeates everything and everyone in the N.O. religion. It is why all the new rites are tinged or tainted with Anthropocentrism, why everything it teaches is always trying to speak to "Modern Man", why the free-masonic "brotherhood of man" is its central theme and constant watchword.

    OK, so you attack me for characterizing the core error of Vatican II as being related to "subjectivism", an "uncondemned" error, as you put it, and then when asked about how Modernism can be found in Vatican II ... you come up with the same answer?

    Modernism is actually more specific and concrete than just subjectivims.  Its primary impact on and nexus into Catholic theology had to do with the notion that dogma could change over time or be revised.  Now the "Catholic" Modernists held that it's not that the dogma has changed but that our "understanding of it" has changed, so in a SENSE it's related to subjectivism, but it's a reference to the CHURCH's understanding of dogma rather than any given individual's.

    What we see at Vatican II takes it to the next level, where any individual (Catholic or otherwise) can please God, save his soul, etc. ... if they merely follow their own (even erroneous) consciences, that to whatever degree or extent they arrive at what the objective truth ultimately is good enough and true enough for that individual even if they don't arrive at the ultimate "fullness of truth" (the Omega point, as it were).

    Now, there can be a legitimate notion of developing a "deeper understanding" of dogma, since our fininte intellects and even the Church's doctrinal statement can only approach but never completely arrive at the ultimate inscrutable unintelligible inarticulatable supernatural truths, and so there is a process there of being "in progress" or "tending towards", but the Modernists tried to exploit that to where they'd say "Pope is infallible." (according to our current understanding) could eventually lead to "Pope is not infallible." (according to some future deeper understanding), which is hogwash, as a future deeper understanding cannot undermine or contradict the previous definitions, but merely add further clarification or detail to them.

    So that's what was going on during the post Vatican I Modernist movement, and much of it was in fact driven by the definition of papal infallity that many did NOT want to accept.  Even Cardinal Newman (I had an argument with Sean Johnson about it), who was not a fan of the definition (St. Anthony Mary Claret died as a result of that crowd Newman was aligned with, making comments about accepting the definition (tentatively or conditionally) based on some future "deeper understanding".

    Now, the other area in which Modernism had infested the Church had to do with science and new "historical" Biblical criticism underming the inerrancy of Sacred Scripture, where they had for their premises an unbelieve in the supernatural and even preternatural, so that Sacred Scripture was not primarily authored by the Holy Ghost, but, rather, the product of various circuмstances, and the backgrounds and preconditions of their human (secondary) authors ... as Catholics would regard them.  So they began dismantling Sacred Scripture, attributing error to it, distinguishing its intention to teach about spiritual matters vs. historical/scientific, etc., and we see this continued in the likes of Father Paul Robinson's "Realist Guide" (Modernist trash that it is).

    So that's where Modernism as such found its way into the Church.  Subjectivism is actually much broader than this, and includes the philosophical trends that culminated ultimately in phenomenology.

    But a combination of Rationalism (denial of the supernatural and preternatural) and Subjectivism (truth being truth for each individual per their own "experience" of it) were the one-two punch that they used to condition Catholics to accept the impending revolution.

    But the actual revolution, while Subjectivism/Modernism conditoined Catholics to accept them, was done intentionally by infiltrators rather than somehow came to be on its own vis some "grass roots" development.

  • Well, I wasn't attacking you for that. It matters little to me if you want to call it subjectivism, or clownassism, or whatever - you actually stated you think it is worse than Modernism.

    OK.  Then I misunderstood.  In any case, it's broader than Modernism, and Modernism is just one of its many faces or manifestations.

    But what I meant by it's "worse than that", is that I don't believe this was a case of Modernist notions making their way into Vatican II.  I believe that the infiltrators explicilty and intentionally injected evil Masonic principles (and not just philosophically erroneous ones) into Vatican II, but that they had used the infection of Modernism to prepare the soil, making it fertile ground to receive and embrace these principles rather than rejecting them.

    IMO, the top-level Masons don't really care about some "Rights of Man", i.e. don't care about Man, but really just want to Dethrone God, and use the "Rights of Man" as the way to do it, a pretext for doing it, and a cover for what they're really doing.  Satan and his top agents could hardly care less about man or their rights.  They're using "Man" as useful idiots in their attempt to Dethrone God.  If they cared about Man, they'd actually be trying to get Man to obey God, since it's what's actually best for them, and they know it.  That's the Luciferian narrative, where they spin Lucifer like some Promethean figure (a myth undoubtedly based on Lucifer), where he's really a "good guy" that really wants what's best for man, to liberate him from the tyranny of God, just like Satan told Eve in the Garden, that God just didn't want them to be like gods, and that they would become like gods and live forever if they ate of the tree.  So these Satanists/Luciferians believe that not only will they be empowered in this life (and Lucifer will accomplish that for them), but that this power or rank will continue in Hell.  They've got another thing coming, as Satan will probably relish torturing these useful idiots more than any of the others, and their torments will be worse, with a deeper/lower place in Hell than those who fell from weakness or less evil motives.

  • You were arguing that Benaz123 was "suspect of heresy" simply for saying he liked Orthodox theologians and Balthasaar. It is inconsistent to claim that some in the N.O. can be members of the true Church based on formal motive, while others like Benaz are "suspect of heresy" for simply believing and acting like the religion of the N.O. expects/allows.

    You're really starting to just waste my time, or can't you read?  I've already mansplained to you the difference between a condemened heretical/schismatic sect like the Orthodox, and an individual's private-judgment determination that the Conciliar Church is also a heretical sect.  It's the same difference as when someone rejected papal infallibility before Vatican I and then after it.  Secondly, do you understand the difference of being a heretic and being "suspect" of heresy.  Yes, when someone promotes an Orthodox (non-)theologian as one of "his favorite", yes, that absolutely makes him suspect of heresy.  There's no proof that he adheres to any heretical proposition, but that statement makes it highly suspicious that he does.

    But you ignore all these things, despite my having wasted considerable time explaining it to you, but just keep harping like some mindless OCD individual on the same two or three concepts that are stuck in your brain.  This has to be the fourth time now, "But ... but ... but you said he's suspect of heresy while saying that you're not necessarily a heretic if you're in the Conciliar Church."  Do you understand even the English definition of the word "suspect"?  In fact, even in Canon Law, had Benaz actually be caught attending Orthodox Liturgy, even there Canon Law indicates that he's merely "suspect" of heresy, since there COULD be some explanation for it (ignorance, etc. ... where maybe he thought it was the same as Eastern Rite Catholic, and I know some people who actually don't know the difference).

  • Some of them are so twisted that they teach/believe it is good thing to be tortured and that only by embracing pain/fire can they be liberated from themselves - so the really sick ones are fully expecting a torturous hell beyond all imagining, and they want to stay here and do as much damage to other souls as possible so their pain will be greater in the next life - they are still human - but in their souls they are more akin to demons - very sad.

    Some do; some don't.  I think that's the distinction between those who are straight Satanists and those who call themselves "Luciferians".  I've actually seen the latter explaining their beliefs, and they actually consider Lucifer some "good guy" who's out to help manking cast off the yoke of a "tyrannical God", very much like the Prometheus myth, so that God punished Lucifer for trying to liberate and help mankind.
