I'm sorry-- I must admit, I am confused by this whole thread. We are supposed to be confirming our brethren ( and our sisters) in the faith, holding them up and supporting them, gently correcting them when they are led astray by the guiles of satan; instead, it appears as though traditionalists are attacking traditionalists-- both on the same same side of the issues! I admit-- I don't have the patience to sort out all the comments; they seem so contradictory and accusatory that they confuse me. Maybe it's better to summarize the relative positions at some point during the thread, or new readers would, I might think, get totally turned off and go somewhere else.
Just my thoughts, though.
In the meantime, perhaps more germane to the thread, Bergoglio has issued a video greeting to ecuмenical ministers gathered somewhere, I think in Texas, wherein he calls an unordained and unconsecrated "catholic" Lutheran/ecuмenical "Bishop" his "Dear Brother Bishop in the Faith!"
So, you can be sure there is room for his "dear brother bishop" Bernard Fellay, traitor to Catholicism, and there is plenty of room for him in the great new ecuмenical temple. While you guys are debating whether you should or should not attend a protestanized service for a loved one as a passive observer, Fellay is bringing protestant ministers into SSPX chapels , and passing them off as priests. Their official story line is that "they will review the (so-called) ordinations and training of these pres-by-ters, but Monsignor Burns has already let the cat out of the bag: "Father Rostand said (before any review) that I will not require conditional re-ordination." 'Msgr.' Burns was "ordained" by John "Cardinal" O'Connor of New York City, in 1986. Cardinal O'Connor made himself famous by apologizing to world Jewry for all the slander that the Catholic Church inflicted upon Jews because they killed Jesus Christ. John "Cardinal" O'Connor's sister just revealed this past month that their mother was (well how de doo!) of the Jєωιѕн faith! Perhaps this explains why "Cardinal" O'Connor, upon meeting a young boy who just converted to Catholicism from Judaism, told him:" You should go back to your Jєωιѕн faith!"
John "Cardinal" O'Connor-- a Jєωιѕн "Cardinal" of the Catholic Church;
"Cardinal" Lustinger of Paris France-- before his death he declared: "A Jew I was born, a Jew I lived, and a Jew I will die!"
"Cardinal" Jorge Bergoglio : Jews are my best friends--they are our elder brothers in the faith."
"Cardinal" Ratzinger : Jews are justified in awaiting for the Messiah!
Is there any wonder why the Catholic Church is doomed? Bella Dodd recruits one thousand ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs communist agents to infiltrate the church, the Communist conspiracy works night and day to get its agents into the church, The Alta Vendita gats thousands of illuminists to infiltrates the church, and all the leading bishops and cardinals AND "popes" are either ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs protectors, or secret Jews-- the race of people who hate Christ and His Church!
