I was talking to some people today about these topics, and it dawned on me that those priests, regarding this post of Fr. Haynos’ strong sermon (on a pulpit), and by any others, on his hammering Catholics that “the teacher is above the teaching…”, as with, the discoveries within one of the other replies earlier stating that: “The Pastor, Fr. Vassal, gave a sermon (on a pulpit) on a very crowded All Saint's High Mass and told the faithful they needed to expose their children to temptations, possible grave ones to build their virtue.”, that BOTH of those NSSPX priests were INSIDE OF THE CHURCH on a PULPIT giving a SERMON =which means= they were WEARING A STOLE!
What does this mean?
Wearing a STOLE, is a function of the priesthood to teach, govern, and sanctify. Therefore, any priests wearing the STOLE, are there to teach in the AUTHORITY of the Church. That is, when a priest, in STOLE, teaches about the Faith and Truth, he is speaking for God. However, when a priest, in STOLE, purposely tries to miss-direct the “sheep”, for whatever reason, is a misuse of that authority, in deception of the Church, and in front of our Lord -is a grave Sin for the priest! That is sad.
This is no judgment on them personally, I do not know, God knows all hearts; however, what is being said here is if the Priest, in STOLE, does purposely try to miss-direct the “sheep”, to sway them to another direction away from the TRUTH within this serious crisis of the SSPX, which is about the Faith, such as it is being done from the NSSPX pulpits, in STOLE, is pretty serious.
It is grave for anyone to do…but especially for a priest in a STOLE…God have mercy on them.
