Link for a 1 minute Italian language video promoting the neoSspx pilgrimage. Very beautiful churches, clips at high speed showing St Peter's. Online registration is required to enter some churches/events. June was deadline. There are a couple of references to eternal Rome. 

I forgot about that poster with rainbow coats, ~~walking ~~ on ~~water~~, (St. PETER walked on the sea), deformed cross. 
  See!  this will provide neoSspx with significant media coverage...SSPX listed on the OFFICIAL list of Pilgrimages!  (What did they do to get permission from the Vatican? hmmm... I hope they criticize Vatican II, new Code of Canon law,  new catechisms , new rites, new everything-  in their faces...on prime time TV. )
Pray.

While I hate the Protestants' anti-catholic, anti-Mary "re-interpretation" of Genesis, I always took the crushing of the serpent's head in the garden as Christ, who allowed His human nature to be tempted, decided at that moment to accept His death and reject the weakness of His humanity, as an example to all of us.

As much as it's true that Our Lady will "crush satan's head", we have to remember that Christ's death on the Cross was/is not the end of this prophecy.  Christ died, the Church was born, and 2,000 years later, we're still fighting satan.  Our Lady's victory is not yet complete.

But in the case of the Garden, and with Christ on the cross, He alone is Our Redeemer.  He alone sufficed to God the Father.  It is true that it was His victory, alone, who saved us from sin.  (Our Lady does play a mystical part in all of this, without question).

But the larger story, post-Crucifixion, post-Resurrection...THAT is when Our Lady took a part in helping the Apostles and praying for the Church.  So Her "crushing the head of satan" is ongoing and also, yet to come (God will give Her the final victory).

So, I think both are true.  Christ did crush satan's head through His crucifixion, because satan ruled all the world through sin.  But Our Lady will also crush satan's head at the end of time, through the Church, as the battle for souls wages on.  Our Lady plays a part in both victories, because the story from Eden long ago, is not finished until the end of time.

The prottys always focus on Christ's redemption and think that "the story is over" because "Christ died once and for all", and they believe "once saved, always saved".  This is their error.  Life goes on, the battle goes on, and Our Lady plays the most important part.  Of course, the prottys have no idea about this.

While we should not diminish the value of the souls in Lagos, this is where Father heads up a chapel in Lagos, Nigeria, as an assistant priest to some young +Fellay yes man at the nearby priory ...

Must priests who come to Tradition be re-ordained?

This article by Fr. Peter Scott first appeared in the September 2007 issue of The Angelus magazine.


https://sspx.org/en/must-priests-who-come-tradition-be-re-ordained-30479

So, that's one reason that one of the brightest minds in SSPX has been relegated to a mud hut in Nigeria, and not only that, as an "assistant priest", not even the Prior there.

I'll nevertheless have to disagree with much of his rationale here, where he concludes things like ...
Quote
If it cannot be said, as with Anglican orders, that the Novus Ordo rite was changed with the manifest intention of rejecting a sacrificing priesthood, nevertheless the deliberate exclusion of the notion of propitiation, in order to please Protestants, could easily be considered as casting a doubt on the intention of doing what the Church does, namely of offering a true and propitiatory sacrifice. Of course, this doubt would not exist if the ordaining bishop had indicated otherwise his truly Catholic intention of doing what the Church does.

Why, Father Scott, "cannot [that] be said"?  I think it's quite clear that it's PRECISELY why they were doing that, excising every single reference to the power of the priest to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, not even leaving one reference behind by accident?  In fact, many of the Deformers of the Catholic Rites publicly ADMITTED that it was their intention with both the Mass and the Orrders to make them non-offensive to Prots, i.e. to make them "in many ways to suit the errors of the reformers" ) [Apostolicae Curae 30].  Father should have quoted the entire thing.  Notice that Leo XIII didn't even say the Anglicans were "rejecting a sacrificing priesthood" (as Father Scott falsely puts in the mind of Pope Leo), when Pope Leo actually said that they were merely attempting to SUIT the "errors of the reformers".  How is that not exactly what the Conciliar Deformers were doing?

So, yes, Father, it absolutely CAN be said that this was their INTENTION, and again, the intention as manifest in the external forum, by what they DID, not what they may or may not have intended in the internal forum.

This was consistent with the SSPX "have your cake and eat it too" theology, where they wanted to regularly do conditionals, perhaps because they knew the faithful would not accept anything else and keep donating, but without then having to fight off the attacks from the SVs about the legitimacy of the V2 papal claimants.  It's just like with the FrankenChurch theology of "Eternal Rome" and "Modernist Rome" ... where they could have their pope and eat him too, technical have a guy was was part "Eternal Pope" (whom they could pay lip service to and put up pictures of in their vestibules, so as not to scare off new visitors and contributors to their collections, and part "Modernist Pope" (that they could rip to pieces and justify their whole apostolate).

This is known as the Protoevangelium, fotetelling how the seed ( Christ) of Eve ( Mary) will crush the head of the serpent ( satan) and the serpent will bruise his heel ( Christ Crucifixion). I think that scene is exactly that, Christ , the seed of the woman crushed the head of the snake, but it cost Him his life in being crucified and dying for us to defeat death and lifting the expulsion of mankind from heaven.

Correct me if I'm wrong on Catholic theological teaching on this.

We all grew up knowing this.



Certainly, Gibson has a good bio-cover story.

But I think he didn't grow-up knowing this.

He's made some trash movies like any other hollyweird actor, no surprise there, that's just part of the " business,", the best hitters in baseball average about .300, that's roughly 3 out of ten hits every at bat, not every pic is gonna be a hr, but the man has acted, directed and produced some classics, a lot more than the majority of his peers.

I need more proof he's a mason than a few obscure , speculative pics. The man was raised a sed catholic, I highly doubt he ever joined such an anticatholic organization.


And the scene from the passion was probably symbolic of defeating the devil, more than taking away from Our Lady in Holy Scripture, IDK, I don't read the man's mind, has he ever commented on that scene publicly?
As for the adultery thing, just one of the many public problems he's gotta deal with, probably all wrapped in his issues with alchohol, I never daid the man's a saint. But I believed he's produced some pretty good stuff over the years, I'll take him and his fight with the jews well over fag, anti christian , dominated industry he works in.

I take it back.

On 2nd thought, Gibson is your image of a struggling, trad Catholic, drinker & womanizer, making it in jew-dominated Hollywood.

It doesn't matter what Catholic mockeries, scandals, heretical concepts or masonic signs he's performs for the world.




As long as he's wearing his Scapular... he's a real trad.

I'm tired of Bishops banning the Latin Mass. Just look up videos of people riding a bike around the Euchurist during Mass. A Priest using a garden hose to bless the people. It is like theyre almost trying to joke around with something very Holy and Sacred. Not all Churches do this of course but there's a good chance that if you go to a Novus Ordo that they'll be doing these hereticke things. How about instead of worrying about a Priest doing something bad like allowing gαy people to relieve the Euchrist in the future let's make Mass more stricter. Like the TLM. It is the last reverent way of celebrating Mass.

SSPX Resistance News / Re: Universal doubtful intention
« Last post by AMDGJMJ on August 13, 2025, 07:35:37 PM »
Here is another good article from a 1998 newsletter for the SSPX in Asia:

"
Newsletter of the District of Asia
 December 1998
Priestly Ordination:
 The New Rite   Vs.  The Old Rite
Strange Changes
On June 18, 1968, Pope Paul VI promulgated a new rite for the priestly ordination.
           
The matter and the form of the sacrament [1] remained almost the same as in the rite promulgated by Pope Pius XII in November 1948. There are only two small changes in the form, which do not however affect the meaning of the sacrament; in fact, they specify it better. 
The novelty and danger of the new rite consists especially in the abolition of the two ceremonies by which the bishop clearly explains the powers of the Catholic priest:
1)   In relation to the power to offer Mass:

Old Rite
New Rite
“Receive the power to offer the Sacrifice to God and to celebrate Masses for the living and the dead.”“Let our Lord Jesus Christ, whom the Father anointed by the Holy Ghost and by fortitude, guard you in order that you may offer the sacrifice to God and sanctify the Christian people.”
2)   In relation to the power to hear confession:

Old Rite
New Rite
The second imposition of hands along with a quote of Our Lord Himself:  “Receive  the Holy Ghost, whose sins you  shall  forgive, they are forgiven them, and  whose  sins you shall retain, they are retained.”(John 20:22)
Abolished completely
These two ceremonies in the traditional rite of ordination indicated clearly that the priest has two powers:
1.   The first, on the physical Body of Christ, consisting in offering the Sacrifice for the living and the dead.
2.   The second, on the mystical Body of Christ i.e. the sanctification of the faithful, especially by the forgiveness of sins in the sacrament of Confession.
While these two powers are mentioned in the new formulas, it is not done very clearly:
-  The Sacrifice is no longer for the living and the dead.
- The sanctification of the faithful does not come firstly by the forgiveness of sins, which puts souls in the state of grace.
WHY WERE THESE CHANGES MADE?
It is now manifest that the intention leading all these changes in the new rite of ordination is the same intention which lead all the changes in the new order of Mass, i.e. the desire to get closer to the Protestant doctrines.
For Luther, founder of Protestantism, “To be a Christian means to have the Gospel and to believe in Christ.  This faith brings forgiveness of sins and divine grace.” [2]
·  Also for him, the Mass is only a simple commemoration of the Last Supper, and not the unbloody renewal of the unique Sacrifice of Our Lord on the Cross, applying the merits of the Passion for the remission of sins.  All of this is useless according to him because faith is sufficient in order to be saved.
·  There is no need of the Sacrament of Penance because our faith in Christ is sufficient to obtain the forgiveness of sins.
·  And the priest is a simple preacher.
To answer these errors of Luther, the Council of Trent promulgated the following anathemas:
·         “If anyone says that the sacrifice of the Mass is one only of praise and thanksgiving, or that it is a mere commemoration of the sacrifice consummated on the cross but not a propitiatory one, or that it ought not to be offered for the living and the dead, for sins, punishments, satisfactions and other necessities, let him be anathema.”  (Canon 3 on the Sacrifice of the Mass)
·         “If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than confidence in divine Mercy, which remits sins for Christ’s sake, or that it is confidence alone that justifies us, let him be anathema.” (Canon 12 concerning justification)
            The abolition of this precision in the new rite of the priestly ordination (even if the rite remains valid in itself by the unchanged matter and form) makes the doctrine expressed by the new rite dangerously close to the Protestant doctrine.  This is not surprising since the end of all the liturgical reforms after the Vatican II Council was ecuмenism.
            Something else, which is also not surprising, alas, is that now, many new priests do not know anymore what the priesthood is.  Consequently, this leads to all priestly problems, such as married priests (at least 70,000 priests have abandoned their priesthood since the last Council).
           And do the bishops themselves know well what a priest is?  We hope so, because with this new rite, some bishops could have an intention opposite to the intention of the Church when they ordain priests, and in that case the ordination would be invalid, or at least doubtful.


[1]The matter of a sacrament is the sensible thing made use of in effecting the sacrament.  For the priestly ordination, it is the first imposition of the hands made by the bishop. The form is the words, which are pronounced in order to effect the sacrament.  For the priestly ordination, it is some of the words of the consecratory preface.
