Sedevacantism is the only explanation

  • This is from an email correspondence I had with Matthew in September. I meant to post here a while ago.

    CathInfo is a wealth of disinformation and erroneous, even heretical theology.

    For instance, the most commonly held opinions on CathInfo that are contrary to the Catholic Faith include:

    1) assent only has to be given to extraordinary acts of the Magisterium while we are free to dissent from teachings of the universal ordinary magisterium
    2) we have had heretical Popes in the past
    3) the Church can give to the faithful that which is harmful, evil and heretical.
    4) you may resist legitimate Popes’ commands, teachings and laws and refuse submission to him.
    5) an ecuмenical council assembled, ratified and enforced by a Roman Pontiff can promulgate heresy and be rejected by the faithful

    This is only a handful of opinions widely held on CathInfo that are utterly absurd and foreign to the Catholic religion. These opinions are ‘Econian’ in origin. With Econian theology comes the cognitive gymnastics necessary to recognize a valid Roman Pontiff yet obstinately refuse submission to him. 

    The “Recognize and Resist” movement has done inestimable damage to the faith and piety of so many people. It is not Catholic.

    Regards,
    Colin

  • I presume Matthew disagreed with everything you wrote?

    Then why are you posting on Cath Info?
    "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."

  • Sedevacantism has many problems of its own, i.e no pope and no hierarchy. That amounts to a defection of the Church and a breach of the promise that would have pastors and shepherds for all time.

    It’s necessary to speak the truth.

  • Isn't no pope better than a pope that you ignore with impunity--the very definition of schism?

    In any event, your other comments have been adequately refuted on other topics and really reflects poorly for you.

    And you and the other sedes are the only ones who can provide the truth to us, would that be correct?

  • Econian....I had to do a double take on that.....I have never heard that description before.

     No. The Catholic Church is the source of Truth. We are simply applying what she has taught us to the present situation.

    I don’t know if I had either. I might have made it up while writing that email. Btw, 2Vermont, I know I was hostile to you before because you were a sede. I’m sorry.

  • Here's what Colin wrote in April 2019...
    .
    Quote
    Hello my name is Colin! ...I grew up Novus Ordite. I don't think I ever had the Catholic Faith. 
    To make a long story short, I got involved in the Hare Krishna Hindu cult. 12 days later I prayed to Christ asking for a sign and he showed me He is God. I was in a demonic trance.
    ...Began attending the Latin Mass in November of 2017.
    Attended my first SSPX Mass Christmas 2018 (St. Isidore's in Watkins, CO)
    .
    Now he writes this email to Matthew:  

    Quote
    This is only a handful of opinions widely held on CathInfo that are utterly absurd and foreign to the Catholic religion.
    .
    So, Colin, you began attending Latin Masses in late 2017, and now, not yet 2 years later and you are an expert on all things Traditional?  You grew up with almost no Faith (your own admittance), yet in 2 years, you've learned enough so that you can say that certain views are "foreign" to the Faith?  Wow, i'm impressed by your genius.  I guess you have it all figured out.  (sarcasm alert).

    Pax, can you please address the 5 points I wrote to Matthew?

    You are off to an excellent start, but I cannot find a definition of "Econian." Please edify us further.

  • Interesting how when a pole is taken inquiring about your Catholic identity, only a couple sedes come forth.

    But when a new sede thread starts, there are 11 CI members logged in viewing.

    Surely the sedes wouldn’t be laying low in the poll to hide their predominance on this resistance(?) forum, yet miraculously emerging on any thread which could bolster or weaken their cause.

    One would have to be a conspiracy theorist to suspect such a thing!
