  • RobertS is strictly smells and bells. He's just another one who likes quoting select snips from +ABL that suit his agenda. :facepalm:

    He's a bad-willed non-Catholic who cherry-picks everything to suite his agenda, and he's here just trolling.  Siscoe picks out a couple passage from the "New Catechism" that pay lip service to EENS, pretending that somehow the Conciliar Church upholds EENS dogma whereas it does nothing but deny it at every turn.

  • Lol. Have you even read the New Catechism, which Pope John Paul II declared a sure norm for teaching the Faith, before rejecting it?
    .

    The new catechism teaches that the death penalty is immoral. How could God command people to put people to death many times in the Old Testament if it were immoral? And why would it be practiced by every Christian society without any condemnation from the Church until the 21st century?

    This is not the same faith that the Church has always taught.

    This ^^^.  It's not the same religion in general.  It doesn't have the same beliefs, the same discipline, and the same public worship of God.  Not only are they not the same but they're incompatible and mutually exclusive.  Only individuals who are intellectually dishonest (engaging in mental gymnastics) or with a corrupt sensus Catholicus are unable to see this.

  • Robert, you're a smart guy, you've done a lot of good work. But why have you returned to the vomit? Are you also a Freemason? You know there would not even be an Indult Mass were it not for the true Catholic shepherds like Archbishop Lefebvre who stood up for the Faith, who understood that obedience is at the service of the Faith and not an end in itself. You know very well that the Indult has only ever been applied in such a fashion as to keep the faithful from Tradition.

    Remember the warning of St Vincent of Lerins. Reject the novelties and hold fast to Tradition.

    At the very least you are encouraging the faithful to place themselves in an occasion of sin against the Faith. You would have me back in my local parish with the priest bringing in a Buddhist monk to teach me how to do Buddhist meditation rather than under a faithful priest leading me along the straight and narrow path to Salvation.

    Our Lord gave us the criterion: judge the tree by its fruits. Stop guiding the faithful towards evil.

    You have lost sight of the purpose of all ecclesiastical law: the salvation of souls. That is the supreme law which trumps every other law. Have you forgotten? Whence comes this legalistic mindset when you can see the rot and perversion permeating the entire modernist edifice? Why would you have us jump on board?

    Archbishop Lefebvre was given by God to the Church as a light in the darkness of the Conciliar revolution. Listen to him! "It is therefore a strict duty for every priest wanting to remain Catholic to separate himself from this Conciliar Church for as long as it does not rediscover the Tradition of the Catholic Church and of the Catholic Faith".

    Be careful! You will have to give an account to God.

  • You can't live in the 80's. It was a great time, no smartphones, etc. but a lot has changed since then.

    +ABL had to try. He tried once for all of us -- his efforts made it clear, to himself AND to posterity, how far gone Conciliar Rome was.

    So if someone 10 years after +ABL did EXACTLY WHAT +ABL DID, this second-timer would not be as blameless, wise, OR innocent as +ABL was. Because he didn't do it first; he should have known better. He would be an imprudent fool at best, and a traitor to Tradition at worst.

    And this is 100X as true when the Church is in the state it's in today, with Pope Francis at the helm. How can anyone suggest (with a straight face) that +ABL would say (if he were alive today), "Yes, things were pretty bad under John Paul II, but we have Pope Francis now. Looks like the Crisis in the Church is wrapping up. Awesome! Time to put ourselves back under their authority." Have you lost your ever-loving mind?

    Remember, it wasn't just +ABL that was "burned" trying to talk sense into Rome. How many Traditional organizations have made a deal with the devil and were completely neutralized/destroyed?

    Imagine a terrorist holding 30 people hostage in a room. The first person to attempt escape is killed by gunmen outside the room. Then a few other people try the same thing at night -- same result. At this point, trying to escape is basically a death wish. The first guy didn't know it would kill him. After several have died due to the "armed guards outside the door", everyone remaining SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

    Imagine the group gets down to 10 people, the other 20 being killed trying to escape. A few days later, a man decides to make the 21st attempt to escape. His name is Bishop Bernard Fellay. Is he wise or foolish?

  • All Trads who condemn V2 and the new mass as heretical, are "practical sedevacantists” because we haven’t had an orthodox pope since Pius XII.  Sean said nothing new or groundbreaking.

    So it was because of Pope Benedict XVI's gestures of love toward Tradition
    Benedict admitted in his book that he made concessions for the TLM to try to get the sspx to make a deal.  

    Benedict 
    1) never corrected any of V2’s errors.
    2) never condemned communion in the hand.
    3) never abolished the new mass.  

    Benedict never intended to reverse any part of the V2 heretical theology or the new mass’ liturgical destruction.  He simply wanted the sspx to become indult.  Benedict never compromised his support for V2.  But he wanted the sspx to compromise their orthodoxy.

    Benedict had no “love” of Tradition.  He had a love of practical agreements, which is what the indult is.

  • RobertS, you have been duped.  Your mission is not to convert us.  I don't even know why you are trying.  Do you think that if you bring all of us renegade Catholics back into the fold of Pope Francis, then all will be well?  Do you have a request from God to do this?  I do not understand why you are so insistent.
    If you could actually explain yourself, instead of being aggressive with your position, then maybe real conversations would happen.

    The Crisis in the church is such that you either make a deal with Rome and assimilate into the Modern errors that have grown over the last 60+ years, or you believe that there hasn't been a pope since Vatican 2.  Both choices are not Catholic and this is why we have a crisis.

    All of us who attend Masses not approved by Pope Francis, do so because we want the surety of worshiping Jesus and not bread.  (I don't know if all Novus Ordo and Indult Masses are just bread worshiping.)

    If you want to understand, why we are where we are then ask, but telling us over and over how you think everything went down is annoying.  Some of us have been going through this crisis or the 20+ years and are very well read on all the topics involved.

    I will say this, I do understand where you are coming from.  I myself struggled with the idea that if we were just obedient then the mess would not have lasted so long.  These are the trials God wants us to go through.  He wants those who have the true Faith to stand strong.  The only thing that will correct this problem for most is that a true Catholic Pope corrects all the errors of Vatican 2, then reconciliation can happen.

  • Any thoughts on what the CCC says on EENS in paras 846-848 quoted above? Isn't it basically the same as the Baltimore Catechism?
    But the point is not EENS. The point is  believing that The Hell is empty, contradicts not only the whole catholic teachings before VII, but contradicts even the words of Christ in the Gospel. The % of the saved is debatable, but not the fact that there are damned people in hell.

    Yes. There are not even a single saint that believed the Hell is empty, I only know the Origen  heresy of apokatastasis, but it's an heresy.
