  • No, I directly answered dozens of his questions already, he did not answer dozens of my questions, and I won't answer this question until he answers.

    But I already admitted I was wrong on one point, that cuм ex is indeed foot noted in the 1917 CL, which is all I will offer until he answers.....which almost certainly means I will never answer. Especially since he will have to go back and look for the questions as I won't do that for him.

    What questions. Make a very simple list instead of hiding vague questions in thousand words which have nothing to with whether or not Jorge Maria Bergoglio is:
     who professes the integrity of the Catholic Faith.

    You’re just squirming because you called the cuм Ex Apostolatus citation BS and accused faithful Catholics of lying.

    When this was wrong you tried to misapply the citation to an irrelevant code (188.8).

    When this was proved wrong you told me to STHU and refused to answer questions until I comb through your every post and answer irrelevant, vague questions. Basically, force me to waste a bunch of time so you can only get aggressive, disrespectful and accusatory instead of humbling yourself. 

    It’s appalling to imagine how many people would approach the sacraments after behavior like this as if there were nothing wrong with it. 

    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

    Go back and read what you wrote. I did not call the citation BS, I called the things you said BS, because that's what they are.

    And the questions I referred to are ones I asked to QV, not to you.

    Now if you want to be a good sede, go back and look for the 2 posts I made and the one PV made that you ignored, and acknowledge them by answering the refutations.

  • I consider this thread a stain on the reputation of Stubborn. It is very real proof that his position is based on a fundamental pride of being right. I was willing to state publicly that I was misled into believing that cuм Ex Apostolatus was in the Code of Canon Law and that I was wrong. I would have gladly conceded to Stubborn and Plenus that they were right and that I was wrong. Yet, after being accused of being a liar and aggressively demanding proof or else I am a liar. Then not giving proof quick enough and being given the reason that I am lying, proof is presented. When proof is presented I am told to STHU as Stubborn squirms like a little worm to try to find a way to still seem like he is right and even continue to accuse one of lying.

    Honestly, this thread demonstrates the character of man he is, which is unbecoming of a Traditional Catholic. I suspect there are many in his camp just like him and this is a base level reason why the Crisis in the Church is prolonged.
    I will say that I don't dislike Stubborn.  We have had decent interactions privately as well as publicly (although obviously this particular topic is one that is quite challenging for us...it is why both of us had stopped getting into the sede vs non-sede arguments for quite some time).  He is typically charitable with me unlike some other posters I have had issues with here on CI.

    I don't recall ever seeing him use "BS" nor "STHU" nor accusing others of lying (especially a bishop!) the way he has used them today, and I suspect this behavior is not just about what's going on in the threads. 

    Perhaps I'm a sucker (and maybe I'm wrong), but I feel badly that I've gotten on his case today. I think he needs our prayers right now.  Really. Sorry Stubborn.

  • Stubborn, in that link above, you are referencing your earlier post that includes the following quote from 1917 Canon Law:


    In 1917 Canon Law there are 3 levels of excommunication:

    1. automatic, ipso facto, excommunication.
    2. declared excommunication.
    3. banned excommunication.
     
    Each of these levels has its own penalties that are increased at each level. At the first level, the automatic [ipso facto] level, the excommunicate is "removed from legitimate ecclesiastical acts" and "prohibited from conducting ecclesiastical offices or responsibilities" (Canon 2263). At the next level, the "declared" level, the excommunicate is further deprived of "the fruits" of his office, such as a salary or pension (Canon 2266). And at the "banned" level, the excommunicate is finally deposed from the office itself (Canon 2266).

    Now let's move to our current situation and apply Canon 2314 and Canon 2263 to Jorge Bergoglio. Following Canon 2314, Bergoglio, is an ipso facto excommunicate on account of manifest heresy. Therefore, he is automatically "removed from legitimate ecclesiastical acts" and "prohibited from conducting ecclesiastical offices and responsibilities" according to Canon 2263.

    This means Bergoglio is in a state of being "deprived" of his legal ability to act as a governor of the Church. In other words, he is "impounded" until the next step is taken to "declare" him as "infamous."

    However, for all practical purposes, even as a simple ipso facto excommunicate, Bergoglio cannot be viewed legally as an "acting Pope." At best, he is in a state of legal suspension awaiting a juridical declaration. Therefore, by the above logic of 1917 Canon Law, one who believes that Bergoglio is a manifest heretic must be at least a Sede-privationist or Sede-impoundist.


    P.S. All of the above assumes that Bergoglio was lawfully-elected (which he wasn't). And since Bergoglio never was lawfully-elected Pope, the See is, in fact, completely vacant, practically and ontologically.
    Even when you cite all of these facts that are indisputable which conclusively prove beyond any and all doubt that Bergoglio is not a pope, the R&R trads will still refuse to accept them because they are too comfortable living in their own "theological fantasy land" and many don't want to face the unfortunate fact that what they believed most of their lives is completely false.

    2V, I consider you a very special, a very blessed Catholic in the eyes of God who got bitten by the sede bug. I feel certain those who were raised, shall we just say, outside of the Church, received many, many - and extra special graces to get you into the Church. IOW, you are one who is extra, extra special to God.....for reasons only He knows. I believe this, always have and always will.

    You take offense when sedes get slammed, well, I take offense when sedes intentionally, and not intentionally lie about reasons non-sedes are not sede, that we are heretics and the like - then completely ignore explanations and refutations as they just stay the course of their BS - this is what I am calling out as BS.

    I've been in this my whole life and have remained as I am for many reasons, but I think mainly from seeing what happens to others who've changed - always ends up being for the worse. So when some dip pops in who has experienced a whole 5 or 10 years of this crisis and starts spouting BS against Catholic truths as a means to defend sedeism, I decided to start calling that what it is.

  • Firstly Stubborn, it’s very arrogant to assume you know the experience of other posters on this forum. You are completely delusional, dishonest and disrespectful. My Cath Info account alone is 10 years old. My first SSPX Mass was in 1985, which started in a hotel. I have never been to a Novus Ordo Mass. I have attended Masses all over the country and the Americas. I was for a time a regular attendee of St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Winona where I received guidance from some of the best SSPX priests in the country. I’ve visited SSPX chapels in Guatemala and El Salvador. I’ve personally known and befriended several bishops. My wedding was performed by a resistance bishop. I’ve spent hours on buses chatting with Bishop Williamson. I’ve also had many conversations and opportunities to meet with sede bishops, including Bishop Dolan and Bishop Pivarunas. A now sede bishop was a lay brother at my wedding. In the early days of the resistance, I assisted the resistance with many translations between Spanish, Portuguese and English. 

    That’s a lot more than some “dip pop with 5 or ten years in this crisis”.
    I didn’t just wake up one day and say “you know what, I feel like making divisions among all my lifelong friends and family by accepting a position contrary to theirs”. No. I arrived at the conclusion of sede vacante through constant reading and ruminating upon the crisis in the Church.
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

    I actually like him and agree with him on many issues, but I can’t tolerate his stubbornness and especially his promotion of unorthodox ideas. Unfortunately, he has made himself the arbiter of tradition and has, in his own mind, made the papacy superfluous, he has in reality become his own pope.

    Thank you, lurker librorum, and those references are definitely a part of the original code as published by the Holy See?
    What do you make of that, if anything at all?
