Ecclesia Dei confirmed today "full communion with SSPX" is near.
What an interesting development. So what will happen now? Will the faithful, who pride themselves on not being part of Novus Ordo, remain in SSPX which will be part of the Novus Ordo or will they leave for the Resistance, or one of the various sede options?
It seems to me the choices for traditional Catholics are getting fewer and fewer.
You may find THE answer by knowing the definition of the word "of."
In the Bible 1 John 2:19 speaks of apostasy among those who left, "They went out
from us, but they were not
of us. For if they had been
of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be
manifest, that they are not all
of us." The meaning of the word "of" in the quote means something that is a part of the entire or whole. Meaning "belongs to." By the word "manifest", the quote is expressing that it is clear they do NOT belong TO THE CHURCH. The use of the word "from" instructs us to know that at one time in the past, they were of us but are now outside of us.
