| Sspx is not just Catholic; they are varsity catholic. |
You are just so sick. Thank GOD you are in a small minority in this country. You can scream all you want "In Christ" but at the end of the day you not really relevant anymore, and again I say Thank GOD to that! |
If he was real you'd be right -- but this is clearly a fake dude on a mission to stir up... umm... "stuff". Best to ignore. |

Why do you automatically assume I’m fake because I hold Traditional Catholic views? Read The Remnant(they take the same positions) The SSPX has dozens of parishes in the U.S( including one in DC) I don’t care if liberals view me or the Society as relevant. The SSPX has over 600 priests. The worlds opinion means very little to me. In Christ SSPX poster |
Okay, let's hear it... how good and why necessary? |
Go Jesuits! |
I can't put me finger on it but it feels like it happened before.. there are people who are testing the faith and then there are those who are not afraid of it because their faith is stronger then any test..

Well it depends on one’s prospective. If one believes that Catholicism is the only true religion and that all other religions are false religions( as I do) then the Inquisition/counter-reformation were good and needed. The Inquisition eliminated public heresy and infidelity broadly while the counter-reformation specifically targeted the Protestant heresy. Again, if one accepts the premise(Catholicism is the only true religion and that all other religions are false religions) then it follows that the Church has a right to fight and eliminate heresy. As St. Thomas Aquinas points out in the Summa “I answer that, With regard to heretics two points must be observed: one, on their own side; the other, on the side of the Church. On their own side there is the sin, whereby they deserve not only to be separated from the Church by excommunication, but also to be severed from the world by death. For it is a much graver matter to corrupt the faith which quickens the soul, than to forge money, which supports temporal life. Wherefore if forgers of money and other evil-doers are forthwith condemned to death by the secular authority, much more reason is there for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death. On the part of the Church, however, there is mercy which looks to the conversion of the wanderer, wherefore she condemns not at once, but "after the first and second admonition," as the Apostle directs: after that, if he is yet stubborn, the Church no longer hoping for his conversion, looks to the salvation of others, by excommunicating him and separating him from the Church, and furthermore delivers him to the secular tribunal to be exterminated thereby from the world by death. For Jerome commenting on Galatians 5:9, "A little leaven," says: "Cut off the decayed flesh, expel the mangy sheep from the fold, lest the whole house, the whole paste, the whole body, the whole flock, burn, perish, rot, die. Arius was but one spark in Alexandria, but as that spark was not at once put out, the whole earth was laid waste by its flame."” In Christ SSPX poster |
But but but.. haven't Pope Francis only just (January 2019) said.. and I quote: Pope Francis says homosexual tendencies are ‘not a sin’ https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2019/04/01/pope-francis-says-homosexual-tendencies-are-not-a-sin/ So enlighten me if you will. If homosexual tendencies are not a sin.. and you got a Pope speaking "ex cathedra" then why in heaven (pan intended) the school was sanctioned. |
Francis wasn’t speaking ex cathedra. He gave his opinion but used no authoritative language. Also, this teacher was ACTING on homosexual tendencies ( he didn’t just have them) In Christ SSPX poster |
Oh boy.. I just soooo hope you do play chess because you are just about to loose a game.. Few posts ago you quoted St. Thomas Aquinus who seem to be your role model as far as Fathers of the Church are concerned.. You quoted him saying: So Mr. SSPX.. if that is what you think a heretic deserves.. to be "eliminated".. then you just might be facing the greatest moral and theological conundrum of your life.. for if you truly believe that Catholic Church is a mother who you are to listen and obey.. and if you believe and you must .. that the Pope is infallible and if he says something, everybody else in the ranks of the church better comply with and embrace, right? So if the Pope said that homosexuality is not a sin, yet the Archdiocese treats it as such, therefore they are acting in opposition to the Pope.. therefore church's teaching, therefore they are clearly committing a heresy by opposing the highest authority. So if you were to take the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas literarily yet again then you got a pretty big problem to solve for you might be dealing with a heresy here. Check and Mate and a mike drop.. |
You think he was not speaking ex cathedra? Well.. then you better let him know. |
He made a statement. That is pretty damn ex cathedra as far as the rest of the world is concerned. He said it for a reason. If he did not mean it, he would not have said right? |
