    Church hierarchy can't even come out and clearly state that Medjugorje is a hoax.


    If they can't do that, then I hardly think that they will EVER have the BASIC CAPABILITY to dare to claim the SSPX is either in or out of the Catholic Church.  



    That's like comparing apples and oranges, one of which completely rotten.

    Medjugorrie does not attack the Vatican II sect but rather promotes it.  That's a big difference.


    The resistance position is that it is only partially rotten, which is a problem.

    Regardless of any dogmatic sedevacantist position, to equate the resistance or the SSPX with Medjorgurjhie is a very flawed reason.
    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...

    I understood Laramie's comment to mean that the novus ordo hierarchy won't identify Medjugorge as a hoax and, since they won't do that, then deciding whether or not the SSPX is in the Church is not something they would tackle either.  Since the SSPX is considered to be an canonical irregularity, the novus ordo clergy already considers the SSPX as "IN".  

    Remember a while back when a priest in the Diocese of Richmond VA wrote an article for his Diocesan newspaper saying that the SSPX was in schism and that if a Catholic felt some inner urge to go to a TLM they should seek out the FSSP or a Diocesan priest.  Well, in less than a week he had to publicly recant.  He had to write a follow up article renouncing his own accusation of the SSPX being "in schism" because Rome straightened him out and in a hurry.  

    As for Medjugorge, at some future date the Church will make a decision.  It may not be in our lifetime.

  • Has any novus ordite hierarchy (Bishop or Cardinal) or one of the post-Vatican II popes made any public statement regarding one of the sedevacantist groups?

  • The N.O. hierarchy tolerates Medjugorje for strategic reasons, Laramie. It is a way of drawing the faithful away from lesser-known but legitimate places of pilgrimage and thereby further isolating them from true Catholicism.
    "There's a mix of passion and shortsightedness in me, even when I'm positive that I'm doing my very best to see things for what they are, that warns me that I'll never know for sure. Undoubtedly I must follow the truth I can see, I have no choice and I must live on; but that is for me only, not to impose on others." - Fr. Leonardo Castellani

    This seems likely.  Yes.

  • What is it referred to when popes reject God, The Church that His Son founded here on earth?  Do we not have fruits to show to us, that they rejected the Body and Blood of Christ?  Do we not have it publicly, out in the open, that communist took over and made the vatican theirs?  Of course we do!  WE have been told by Popes from 1870 -1947 that anyone who supports, follows or aligns themselves to communists/secret societies are excommunicated.

    The Novus Ordo is the Communist Church.  They are excommunicate.  

    Neither law nor charity require that we give excommunicates obedience.  Charity demands that we offer them the Sacrament of Penance.  That is our true religious duty to them.  They are in need of penance, not obedience.

  • If St. Bernard called Anacletus the abomination of desolation standing in the Holy place, I wonder what he would have called Francis.

    The SSPX was never outside the Church.  


    Exactly. The SSPX never believes it is outside the Church. "Irregular situation" with regards to relations with the authorities in Rome, yes, but never outside the Church.

    Never outside the Vatican II church, certainly. They were formed in it, and are of it.

    No Saint who ever lived would recognize the practices of an SSPX chapel.

  • Veribus:  You answered well!  Pope Pius XII made it clear, anyone aligning themselves to Communist would be excommunicated.  I hate to say it, but it is true, Pius the X are aligned with communist.  Very sad, Cardinal Manning would say.

    And those who oppose the hierarchy of the church that is not Christ's but man's are not sede Vacantist as they are opposing Communism/Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ.  I think that is a better way to explain myself.  It puts it in the right place.  No one speaks communism in Vat. II.  Those secret societies would rather keep words like Comme, or Communist and such, to be never spoken of, never!  We should say it more often. So, I prefer not to be excommunicated and stay obedient to the Church that Christ founded.
