  • Many of you wail and moan constantly about this or that person who needs to "see the light" that there's no pope.  My question is, if they "see the light", then what?

    That's a good question. I don't see that any Sede has really given an answer. If all trads went Sede, what would change?

    Also, does anyone know what Fr. Cekada's views are on Fatima, exactly? I've tried to find them on the thread here, but maybe I missed it. Fr. Chazal mentions that in order for Russia to be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart, a Pope would be needed. I don't see that any Sedes have addressed this.
    But really I'd like to know how Fr. Cekada sees the situation of not having a Pope (in his view), regarding the Consecration of Russia. 
    "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."

    ~St. Robert Bellarmine

  • What would change?

    For one important point we would be UNIFIED, remember learning about the 4 Fours of the Church, ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC.

    Oneness would be a good thing, sorry you don't agree or it means very little to you.  

    So may I ask you a question, who does Fr. Chazal expect to consecrate Russia for him, and why hasn't one of his conciliar popes done so, they had what 50 - 60 years to do so, depending on your starting point of time.  

    Answer that Fr. Chazal or any SSPXer!

    Or are you waiting for a True Pope to come around and do it, as WE ARE?   

    Please pray for my soul.

    Alright, so you think that trads would be united. What kind of change would that in itself bring about?

    And answering a question with a question doesn't really provide an answer, regarding the Pope and the Consecration of Russia.

    I did find a short interview online, where Fr. Cekada sort of address the question of how the consecration of Russia by a Pope would happen without a Pope. He basically says that it's not a relevant question, because private revelation cannot be used as a starting point for anything theological. At least that's how I interpret the interview. In other words, he didn't really address it. 

    "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."

    You're likely to take flack for this due, again most likely, to a failure to make a distinction re: "unity".

    The Church IS one, but there is such a thing as external unity etc. To say that She isn't NOW is Conciliar "thinking", and, well, heretical. How does a thing become what it already is? A mother is a mother. She is not yet mother of child (y) which has not yet been conceived.

    Nor does Fr. Chazal ... at least we are united in that we wait for a True Pope to do the consecration.

  • Ok, we could be united.  That would be a GREAT thing!  But, really, we all could be united NOW, because aside from the issue of the pope, all trads agree on most everything else.  There's no reason why the issue of the pope, which none of us can solve, has to be such a dividing factor (and for this, I blame the priests, on both sides, for fostering this division.  But that's another topic).  But we allow it to divide us, because we make it a bigger issue than it is...

    Are we One in worship?
    Are we One in the Sacraments?  
    Are we One in Holy Days of Obligation laws, fasting laws, disciplines, prayers, hymns, etc.?
    Are we even One in NO Catholic schools, vs Traditional Catholic schools.
    If you think yes, then why aren't all traditional Catholics attending their neighborhood places of worship, sending their traditional Catholic children to the Catholic schools down the street, why aren't those children attending the neighborhood Catholic schools learning about Sanctifying grace, mortal sin, fear of God, Seven capital sins etc?  
    Unless I misunderstood you, and I must confess at times I do have difficulty trying to figure out what you are really saying.  but I am sure that is my misgiving, not yours.  Maybe you could elaborate on your idea of UNITY.
    BTW DZ PLEASE where do you place your loyalty with, within this crisis, SSPX, FEENYITE, INDEPENDENT, NOVUS ORDO, OR ANY OTHER CAMP?  Just curious, you don't have to reply if you would rather not.

    Has Fr. Chazal said that Francis is not Pope, and therefore as such cannot consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart?

    1. See, "Internal v External Unity" i.e. what the Church teaches. I'm Ecclesial trailer trash. Who cares what I "think" if it isn't what the Church does?
    2. No BoD/BoB Sedevacantist, but our loyalty should be with the Church. I'm Catholic. Sede is a position, not a religion which too many seem to either forget or never understand. I'm tempted to just say "Catholic" and call all else "Ecclesiodefectists" or whatever. I HATE "being" a "Sedevacantist"
    Got no use for a liar no matter what "club" they claim or claims them. Better a groping Atheist than a lying "Catholic".

    Clear enough for you hopefully.

  • I hate being a sedevacantist as well, for I wish we had a True Pope.  I pray each day for people that will die this day for I fear for them since the Church seems to be in eclipse, hidden and hard to find, WE NEED A POPE TO UNITE US and bring us out of the woods. Protestants laugh at Catholics today when they hear Francis.  How can we convert them when he represents the True Church.  

    If I could have my prayer answered one way over the other, I would prefer UNITY through a TRUE POPE rather than UNITY through all Traditionals being sedevacantist, as I tried to answer that question for Pax the best I can when he asked what would change if we were all sede.

    Also, when I was younger I thought very little about telling a lie, but then about 10 years ago or so, I read a Catholic book that God hates even what some call a "little white lie", it is like causing His cross to be so much heavier.  After that, I think twice about even a teasing lie.  Which is why I refuse to even use a user name. (not to say it is wrong to use a user name)  I also have found people much more polite when they use their own name.  These people that come back here over and over again with a different name are also liars in my book.  

    Making mistakes is one thing but to tell a lie is so evil in the eyes of God no matter how small.

    "Principle of Unity"

    and bring us out of the woods. Protestants laugh at Catholics today when they hear Francis.  How can we convert them when he represents the True Church.  

    Don't you mean "if"? We don't convert anyone anyway, ultimately. If people want the truth, then they'll have it. Francis can be blamed for offering scandal as yet another endless excuse. He can't be blamed if people don't convert, because if they will, then God will, no matter what lies the likes of Francis promulgates.

    If I could have my prayer answered one way over the other, I would prefer UNITY through a TRUE POPE rather than UNITY through all Traditionals being sedevacantist,

    There is unity. Good to remember. Unity of the faith. Even at the times of the apostles it surely wasn't all hugs and bunnies with the flock. The "kids" fought, scrapped, moaned, groaned and whined then just as now. That doesn't mean that there is no unity. The Church is one, even if the kids are brats. Sedevacantism is what is left with the application of Occam and Holmes. That doesn't mean that non-Sedes aren't Catholic. That doesn't mean that they are either. Being a Sede doesn't make one Catholic either. Perhaps on different or lesser principle an Atheist could be a Sedevacantist in the sense that they can follow natural reason to a conclusion, applying Catholic matter to logical form.

    as I tried to answer that question for Pax the best I can when he asked what would change if we were all sede.

    ...

    Also, when I was younger I thought very little about telling a lie, but then about 10 years ago or so, I read a Catholic book that God hates even what some call a "little white lie", it is like causing His cross to be so much heavier.  After that, I think twice about even a teasing lie.  Which is why I refuse to even use a user name.

    Making mistakes is one thing but to tell a lie is so evil in the eyes of God no matter how small.  

    Without opening yet another "Flat-earth" can of worms, just one degree deviance on an plot over time makes a huge difference between being on the correct heading, and wondering why everyone in Utah is speaking Arabic and sporting Hajjiwear.

  • Got my copy today, and while there are some good parts in this book, I couldn't help but notice this: “The Pope can be deposed legitimately, because, granted that power to depose the pope resides in the council apart from the pope, it must be able to assemble its scattered members, in order to depose him...

    It's a non-dogmatic quote.

    Ironically, the same William of Ockham that Fr. Chazal quotes as being a condemned heretic of a sedevacante type position is condemned for promoting something similar called conciliarism. William of Ockham (d. 1349) wrote some of the earliest docuмents outlining the basic understanding of conciliarism. His goal in these writing was removal of Pope John XXII, who had revoked a decree favoring ideas of the Spiritual Franciscans about Christ and the apostles owning nothing individually or in common. Some of his arguments include that the election by the faithful, or their representatives, confers the position of pope and further limits the papal authority. The universal church is a congregation of the faithful, not the Catholic Church, which was promised to the Apostles by Jesus. While the universal Church cannot fall into heresy, it is known that the Pope has fallen into heresy in the past.[2] Should the pope fall into heresy a council can be convened without his permission to judge him.

    Fr. Chazal tiptoes around this last point stating that the council must be called by the heretical pope but who is to judge him is unknown since to judge requires one to be a superior.

    And that's about where I sensed that that particular section of the book was taking a ridiculous spin. I can't believe he even included this sentence in the book. It should've been edited out to save face...  Great uncertainty remains concerning how and by whom the pope who ought to be deposed will be judged to be deposed, for a judge, as such, is superior to the one who is judged.
    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...
