ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Ss.
Peter & Paul Chapel is open to its members at any time of the day or night
for visits to our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
Every
Mass for Sunday and other Holy Days of Obligation are offered for the welfare
of the members of Ss. Peter & Paul Roman Catholic Mission.
The Diocese of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania released the names of over 70
members of its clergy who have been accused of sexual abuse in cases spanning
back to the 1940s. This list is only those who were caught. The Homosexual
Network will always cut its losses to protect itself. Nothing will be corrected
until the root of the problem is identified and thoroughly removed.
On the first day of
their General Chapter meeting, the 41 handpicked electors by Bishop Bernard Fellay elected his successor to head the SSPX. There are several reports that this election
represents a repudiation of Fellay's policies. That is not likely. There is more likely to be a calculated
retrenchment before a continuation of the course established since the GREC
meetings began in 1997. The Vatican
Insider announced the expected outcome before the actual elections took
place. How could they have known? The answer may be that they were able to
predict what they had orchestrated. The
new superior general and his two assistants have direct ties to Argentina. Maybe Bishop Fellay
will assume the title of "Superior-General Emeritus." One thing is for sure, he will not be sent to
take up residence in the Philippines.
In November 2001 the
arguments taken from Reply to a
Conservative Canon Lawyer were formally presented to Bishop Nicholas Dattilo by a priest of this diocese requesting an official
judgment. Dattilo never responded beyond summarily
forcing the priest into an unceremonious retirement, and eventually publishing
the unsubstantiated charges of "heresy" and "schism"
against the Mission in the diocesan newspaper.
Since that time, an OPEN CHALLANGE has been
repeatedly placed before each of the last four bishops in Harrisburg to enter into
an open written discussion regarding the liturgical, doctrinal, moral and
canonical claims of Ss. Peter & Paul Roman Catholic Mission for the purpose
of bringing those in error back to the Catholic faith and obedience to her
immemorial traditions. Think of the Catholic saints who have labored among
heretics and schismatics to bring those in error back
to the Catholic faith and the possibility of salvation such as, St. Augustine
among the Donatists and Pelagians,
St. Dominic among the Albigensians, St. Peter of
Verona among the Cathars, St. Peter Canisius among the Lutherans, St. Francis de Sales among
the Calvinists, St. Andrew Bobola among the Orthodox,
St. John Fisher among the Anglicans, and on and on and on. These saints offered
their very lives for the restoration of heretics and schismatics
to the Catholic Church. The local
bishops of Harrisburg have done nothing. Could it be that they are not sure who
in fact in an open debate would be demonstrated to be the heretics and schismatics?
Seventeen years is not long in the
history of the Church but it is long time in the life of every faithful
Catholic. These bishops have been grossly negligent in the duties but their
silence itself is really reply enough. These cowards have not taken up our
challenge because they have no answers against those who defend Dogma and the
rights of immemorial ecclesiastical traditions which are the images of our
faith that make it known and communicable to others. They think being silent is
better than looking stupid.
We were recently told
by a friend of our Mission that conservative Catholics who have objected to the
Mission refused to discuss or so much as to even read the OPEN LETTERS. They
are afraid. The Mission scares them and they prefer willful ignorance than to
burden their consciences with open and clear obligations. If we are correct in
what we profess everyone from the bishop to the lowest Catholic will have, in
some degree or another, to answer for their sloth. Willful ignorance does not
excuse sin, it aggravates it.
Two
recent Catholics have attended Mass at our Mission leaving the Fraternity of
St. Peter Indult Community that offers the Extra-ordinary Form of the Novus Ordo. The first said that in the indult sermon they were
told that obedience must be given to Pope Francis by every Catholic without any
qualification whatsoever including the moral corruption of Amoris Laetitia. The second said that they were
refused absolution in the confessional because they told the priest that in
conscience they could not attend a Novus Ordo
memorial meal if unable to find a traditional Mass. The Indult community, like
the clergy in Germany, sells the sacraments. The only difference is the
currency of exchange. They are no better than a guard dog that can be appeased
with a couple of hard-boiled eggs.
Br.
Paul Mary began his novitiate of the feast of the Epiphany. Please remember his welfare in your prayers.
Bishop Richard Williamson performed the Episcopal consecration of
Bishop Gerardo Zendejas at St. Athanasius Chapel in
Vienna, Virginia on May 11, 2017. Please
remember his welfare in your petitions to our Lord that he will faithfully
defend the Dogmas of our Catholic Faith and the immemorial ecclesiastical
traditions that make that Faith known and communicable to others.
The SCHISM is HERE!
Only the brain dead have an excuse!
COMMENT: This book
provides an interpretation of Chapter 8 of Amoria Laetitia (AL). It is addressed to bishops with a “merciful
heart” and offers an interpretation that is consistent with the interpretation approved
in the private letter sent by Pope Francis to the bishops of Argentina as well
as with the interpretation of Cardinal Schornborn who
Pope Francis has publically identified as its ‘official interpretor.’ These bishops say that the proper understanding
and application is that any Catholic living in public adultery based upon their
own private judgment in the internal forum can declare themselves worthy to
receive Holy Communion and absolution in the sacrament of Penance and therefore
cannot be denied these sacraments. It is
given semi-official approval by its publication in L’Osservatore
Romano.
Now in the Novus Ordo
which may be nothing more than a memorial meal as initially defined by Pope
Paul VI, perhaps giving the Novus Ordo communion wafer
to a person in objective mortal sin is not a real problem. But what is certainly a grave sin it that
these persons expect to be absolved by a confessor in the sacrament of Penance
without confessing or repentance of mortal sin.
Pope Francis and his CDF puppet, Cardinal Muller, will not be answering
the Dubia in any official capacity. This does not represent a change in the
Church’s teaching. It represents the
active effort of a Francis and his minions to destroy the Catholic doctrine and
morality. As we announced during the
synod, the schism has long been present.
It is more evident each passing day and every Catholic will have to pick
sides. God cannot let an open attack
upon the sacrament of marriage go unpunished.
Their hypocrisy is oozing from every pore. Imagine if a Catholic with “humility,
discretion and love for the Church and her teaching, in a sincere search for
God’s will and a desire to make a more perfect response to it” arrives at
traditional Catholicism, what kind of response can be expect from the local
bishop and Rome? If you want to know
read our OPEN LETTERS!
10. If, as a result of the process of discernment, undertaken with
“humility, discretion and love for the Church and her teaching, in a sincere
search for God’s will and a desire to make a more perfect response to it” (AL
300). a separated or divorced person who is living in a new relationship
manages, with an informed and enlightened conscience, to acknowledge and
believe that he or she are at peace with God, he or she cannot be precluded
from participating in the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist (see
AL, notes 336 and 351).

by being favorably reviewed in L’Osservatore Romano,

Pope says Schonborn interpretation on Communion for remarried is the
final word
April 16, 2016 LifeSiteNews – On the
flight returning from Greece, Pope Francis was asked if the Apostolic
Exhortation (Amoris Laetitia)
contained a "change
in discipline that governs access to the sacraments" for Catholics who are
divorced and remarried. The Pope replied, “I can say yes, period.” Adding,
however, that this would be "too small" of an answer, the Pope then
urged reading the presentation of Cardinal Schönborn,
calling Schönborn a “great theologian who knows the
doctrine of the Church.”
"In that presentation your question will have
the answer," the pope concluded.
Schonborn’s
presentation boiled down Pope Francis’ more than 60,000 words in the
exhortation to 3000, but in that short space made sure to include the “smoking
footnote” being seen as the opening of the door to Holy Communion to Catholics
living in second unions where annulment from the first union was not
possible. The position contradicts Pope St. John Paul II’s Familiaris Consortio as
well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church.( as well as divine positive law
and the constant immemorial universal tradition of the Catholic Church in all
her rites without exception whatsoever) [……]
Fr.
Samuel Waters sent a LETTER to Archbishop
Charles Chaput of Philadelphia on November 29. The LETTER is now posted on the OPEN LETTERS
web page. No reply is expected from
Archbishop Chaput because he does not appear to be
the kind of man who is likely to ever repent which is not always easy. Outside of a repentance, no reasonable reply
to Fr. Waters' letter is possible.
Christopher
Ferrara of American Catholic Lawyers Association, John Vennari
editor of Catholic Family News, and Michael Matt editor of the Remnant have
written an Open Letter to Pope Francis
addressing a litany of his offensive acts and comments against the Catholic
Faith since becoming pope after the resignation of Benedict/Ratzinger. There is nothing new in the Letter that has
not been posted on our bulletin but to read them compiled together is a fresh
and sobering reminder of the damage that Pope Francis continues to do on a
daily basis against our holy religion.
Remember that the two greatest tests by God, that of the angels under
Lucifer and the Israelites under the Pharisees, required those who would be
faithful to God to disobey God's lawfully constituted authority. Unconditional obedience is owed to God
alone. Obedience to man is only a virtue
when directed by and in accordance with the virtue of Religion. No one of whatever dignity has the authority
to violate the virtue of Religion.
The
statues of St. Francis with the stigmata in the nave, St. Clement Mary Hofbauer in the vestibule, and St. Maria Goretti in the community room have been erected in our chapel. The Mission will also soon have the statues
of St. John the Baptist, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, and St. Joachim when their
restorations are completed.
The following “announcement” has been posted on the Mission web page
since the election of Pope Francis.
There is no reason to take it down or amend it in any way, especially in
light of the recent attacks on the Sacrament of Matrimony that have been
supported by Pope Francis. We pray for
the Pope so that we may not share in the punishment that will certainly follow
upon this sin and objective scandal.
“Pope Francis has almost daily since his election last month shown a
studied contempt for the Ecclesiastical Traditions of our Church. It is good
that the wolf looks and acts like a wolf.
The Traditional Catholics, grounded in true Hope, ‘know that to them
that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his
purpose, are called to be saints.’ (Rom. 8: 28) Therefore, no matter how
stupid, blind, incompetent, or willfully malicious the helmsman may be, God is
still in charge of His Church and His providential care will be accomplished
willy-nilly. The coming chastisement
will separate the hirelings from the shepherds.”
Pope Francis and
SSPX superior Bishop Fellay met Friday evening in
Rome. Greg Burke, Vatican Press Office
vice-director, announced on Monday that a meeting took place in the Casa Santa
Marta on Friday, April 1, between Pope Francis and the Superior General of the
Society of St. Pius X. We
have learned that it was a very positive meeting. Apparently, Pope Francis was impressed by +Fellay's incompetency displayed during his interview on Conflict Zone!
The question that must be asked of +Fellay
is: “When and where did he make the 1989 Profession of Faith and the Oath of
Fidelity to the ‘authentic magisterium’ of the conciliar popes?” It awaits to be seen if he is able to bring
the rank and file to agree with his accommodation of error.
Amoris Laetitia,
“On Love in the Family,” an act of the 'authentic magisterium'
of Pope Francis, an apostolic exhortation that presents his findings and
conclusions from the two synods, which threw open to discussions setteled moral and doctrinal questions of Catholic revealed
truth, was released April 8. Pope
Francis gave the honor of presenting the document to Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, O.P. of
Vienna, Austria, who is a recognized apologist for the homosexual heresy, and
Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, secretariat of the synod
of bishops. Baldisseri was the man who ordered the
interception of the book, Remaining in
the Truth of Christ, which had been mailed to participants in the
Extraordinary Synod last October. The book is a collection of essays by five
Cardinals and four other scholars in defense of Catholic truth regarding the
sacraments that was written in response to heretical opinions in Cardinal
Walter Kasper’s book, The Gospel of the Family.
Amoris Laetitia,
as expected, overturns the Catholic doctrinal and moral teaching on the
sacrament of Marriage and by directly endorsing situation ethics which is
morally repugnant to all faithful Catholics.
As said before, this will eliminate conservative Catholicism. The problem facing Catholics who have been
faithful to the doctrinal and ecclesiastical traditions of the Catholic Church
is to make conservative Catholics, who are just now rejecting the novelties and
corruptions of Francis, understand that the answer to the problem is not a
return to the novelties and corruptions of Benedict and John Paul II. Neither of these two conciliar
popes could or would offer any principled objection to Pope Francis who is just
travelling a little further down the same road!
A
Letter was sent to Bishop Ronald Gainer in response to his
comments to the York Daily Record after the Palm Sunday story. A copy of the letter is available in the
vestibule.
Bishop Richard
Williamson and Bishop Jean-Michel Faure consecrated Dom Thomas Aquinas, Prior
of the Holy
Cross Monastery in Nova Friburgo,
Brazil, as a bishop on March 19, 2016.
It has come to our attention
that Virgil Bradley (Gabriel) Tetherow is reforming
the suppressed order of Servants of St. Francis and using favorable comments
made from our Mission that have long ago been retracted and apologized
for. Therefore we are republishing our
assessment of the character of Tetherow for a public
warning. TETHEROW
Recently posted Letter to
Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller
at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
was sent on December 15, 2015 on the occasion
of Pope Francis' declaration, in an act of his “authentic magisterium,” condemning “Catholic fundamentalism” as a
“disease” of ‘Godless idolatry’ afflicting “many Catholics” for believing in
“Absolute Truth.”
The Synod on the
Family was a sham from beginning to end and will undoubtedly go down as the greatest
corruption of Catholic doctrine and morals in the history of the Church. It was in fact a very crude attempt by Pope
Francis to give the appearance of popular collegial support for the corruption
he has militantly imposed upon the Catholic faithful. For nearly two years since Pope Francis’
public praise of Cardinal Kasper’s theological novelties, Pope Francis has lead
an opened discussion on settled moral and doctrinal questions that he does not
possess the authority or power to change.
This has done incalculable damage to Catholic Truth. Those who give only tacit support to this
corruption will pay the worst of all penalties.
Every heretic
always attacks the doctrine of Marriage because Matrimony is the metaphor that
God employs to describe His unbreakable union with His Church as a whole and
with each individual faithful Catholic as well.
Since heretics have broken union with God they cannot abide the
integrity of the metaphor.
The Letter from Fr. Samuel Waters to Cardinal Beniamino Stella, Prefect for the Clergy, and copied to
Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller, Prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith, sent last
March 25, 2015, has been posted on the Mission web page. This Letter was refused delivery by Cardinal
Stella and accepted by Cardinal Muller.
Whatever 'clergy' that Cardinal Stella is the Prefect over, it
apparently does not exercise jurisdiction over Catholic priests, or his duty
would have required him to accept this letter.
To conservative Catholics who have enough Catholic
sense to repent of Francis but not enough Catholic sense to stop yearning for
the “good old days” of Benedict/Ratzinger.
COMMENT:
As Pope Pius XII explained in Humani Generis, it
is impossible to affirm the Catholic dogma that the “Lord Jesus Christ... is
consubstantial with the Father” or the Catholic dogma of Transubstantiation, if
the concept of “substance”
is rejected in the same sense used by scholastic theologians found in the
perennial realist philosophical tradition and fixed by its usage in Catholic
dogma.
Benedict/Ratzinger denies the meaning of “substance” and then, he necessarily denies
the dogma of the True Presence. Benedict/Ratzinger’s
entire “hermeneutic of reform” vs. the “hermeneutic of rupture” is predicated
upon accepting his Neo-Modernist philosophy which, in the end, denies the term substance and replaces it with the
accident of relationship.
There is no
philosophical difference between Benedict/Ratzinger
and his chosen replacement Francis who marks, as Benedict/Ratzinger
predicted in December before his abdication, the “beginning of the new Church
and the end of the old.” The only difference between the two, apart from
superficial style, is that Francis is wholly formed by the Novus Ordo Church and suffers no misgivings of conscience about
the direction he is dragging the Church because he knows no other way. Those
conservative Catholic who are nostalgic for a return of Benedict/Ratzinger or John Paul II in the face of Francis’
infidelities are even more superficial than Francis!
Some even say that the doctrine of transubstantiation,
based on an antiquated philosophic notion of substance, should be so modified
that the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist be reduced to a kind of
symbolism, whereby the consecrated species would be merely efficacious signs of
the spiritual presence of Christ and of His intimate union with the faithful
members of His Mystical Body.
Pope Pius XII, Humani Generis
“…the medieval
concept of substance has long since become inaccessible to us.
In so far as we use the concept of substance at all today we understand thereby
the ultimate particles of matter, and the chemically complex mixture that is
bread certainly does not fall into that category.”
Joseph Ratzinger, Faith and
the Future, p. 14
“Eucharistic
devotion such as is noted in the silent visit by the devout in church must not
be thought of as a conversation with God. This would assume that God was
present there locally and in a confined way. To justify such an assertion shows
a lack of understanding of the Christological mysteries of the very concept of
God. This is repugnant to the serious thinking of the man who knows about the
omnipresence of God. To go
to church on the ground that one can visit God who is present there is a
senseless act which modern man rightfully rejects.”
Joseph Ratzinger, Die Sacramentale Begrundung Christliche Existenz
Planned
Parenthood’s Director of Medical Services, Deborah Nucatola,
M.D., has been captured on video discussing the PP practice of selling baby
body parts for profit procured by partial birth abortions, both practices of
which are violations of U.S. positive law.
The U.S. Supreme Court overturned any reference to Natural Law in Casey
vs. Planned Parenthood as a basis for determining the morality of U.S. law, so
U.S. law is no longer limited to the imagination but is grounded upon pure
arbitrary fantasy. Anyone who thinks
‘homosexual marriage’ and infant ritual murder are protected “rights” under the
U.S. constitution cannot have too much a problem with infant cannibalism. We
should not be too surprised because it was historically the practice to eat
body parts of victims of ritual murder.
The video should be widely distributed to as many as possible before the
national morality becomes entirely jaded and justifies this disgusting
practice.

Msgr. William Lynn,
the former director for clergy for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has been
sent back to jail. Lynn was freed last year after an appeals court overturned
his conviction on child endangerment charges relating to Philadelphia
Archdiocese’s sex-abuse scandal. On April 25, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
overturned that reversal and reinstated the original conviction — saying that
the child endangerment statute applied to Lynn even though he did not directly
supervise the welfare of the child victims in the scandal. The Supreme Court
said that Lynn:
• ”Mollified
victims of sexual abuse by falsely telling them their allegations were being
seriously investigated and that the particular priest would never again be
assigned around children, despite knowing that the priests under his
supervision would merely be reassigned to another parish with no ministry
restrictions on contact with children.”
•
“Informed parishioners that the priests he transferred were moved for health
reasons, leaving the welfare of children in jeopardy.”
•
“Routinely disregarded treatment recommendations for priests.”
•
“Failed to inform the relocated priest’s new supervisor about abuse
allegations.”
•
“Took no action to ensure that the abusive priest was kept away from children
at his new assignment.”
•
“Suppressed complaints and concerns by the colleagues of the priests; all with
the knowledge that sexually abusive priests rarely had only one victim and that
all of these actions would endanger the welfare of the diocese’s children.”
•
“Finally, and even more egregiously, when (Lynn) was contacted by law
enforcement, he misrepresented facts to thwart their investigation of these
priests, and their crimes.”
The following “announcement” has been posted on the Mission web page
since the election of Pope Francis.
There is no reason to take it down or amend it in any way, especially in
light of the recent attacks on the Sacrament of Matrimony, the promotion of the
homosexual heresy, and the Gaia cult of earth worship that have been supported
by Pope Francis. We pray for the Pope so
that he may repent and not suffer the punishment that will certainly follow
upon these sins.
“Pope Francis has
almost daily since his election last month shown a studied contempt for the

The OPEN LETTERS
of FR. SAMUEL WATERS now include the Letter to Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller, Prefect of the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), which has the Arguments
addressing the moral, doctrinal, and canonical deficiencies of Archbishop
Charles Chaput's “Decree of Excommunication” as well
as his calumny, offered without evidence, that Ss. Peter & Paul Roman
Catholic Mission is a “schismatic organization.” Also posted for viewing is the LETTER of
reply from the CDF written by Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia,
O.P. and Fr. Waters' reply to Archbishop Di Noia. This is the same Di Noia
who argued the Vatican's alleged 'doctrinal' dispute with the SSPX. The Letters speak for themselves and really
require no additional comment. They are
themselves a clear revelation of the character of each author.

Current Catholic Controversies:
This link is to three arguments posted on the traditional
Catholic forum, Angelqueen, by Br. Joseph, a Third
Order Dominican and defender of Ss. Peter & Paul Roman Catholic
Mission. The arguments were posted at
the time of that the SSPX was given the 'Doctrinal Preamble.' They are being reposted in light of the
recent letter Fr. Samuel Waters received from the Congregation for the Doctrine
of the Faith which appeals to the “authentic magisterium.” The important discussion concerns the “Lumen Gentium, the1989 Profession of Faith and the Authentic Magisterium.”
Fr.
Luigi Villa, Th.D. authored the book, Paul VI - Beatified?, which derailed the process
of Paul V's beatification until it was resuscitated by Pope Francis. It is a book every Catholic should be
familiar with to understand what kind of man gave us the Novus Ordo Church that has just declared him “blessed.”
Comment
on the Widening Schism after the Synod on the Family:
After the Passion, Resurrection and
Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Apostles were directed to return to the
Cenacle to await the coming of the Holy Ghost that would inaugurate the
Catholic Church as the one and only means of salvation by uniting each
individual by grace to the very person of Jesus Christ by charity through
virtue of faith and the sacrament of baptism.
Still standing was the Jewish Temple with its priesthood, government,
and rites of worship. The Jewish
Catholics who made up the membership of the early Church continued to observe
the old-covenant prescriptions for some time.
That time came to an end when, as prophesized by Jesus Christ, the
providence of God destroyed forever what God Himself had established, the
temple, and with it, the Levitical priesthood.
Analogously, since the close of Vatican II,
there have existed under one authority two incongruent and distinct claimants
to true Catholic doctrine and true worship.
These are the Novus Ordo Church directed by
dedicated Modernists and those Catholics who remain faithful to Tradition in
both doctrine and worship.
There is a third group who call themselves
“Catholic” who try to keep one foot in both camps. They are identified as Conservative
Catholics. This group has maintained
conformity with Novus Ordo Church in practice while
trying to reconcile this practice with faithful adherence to Catholic
doctrine. The fact that this cannot be
successfully done in the great majority of cases is demonstrated by the failure
of Conservative Catholics to keep their own children faithful to their
baptismal vows.
Now the corruption of Modernist theology
under Pope Francis has infected Catholic morality in a formal matter with the
attack on the sacrament of Matrimony and the accommodation of the homosexual
heresy. This will end Conservative
Catholicism once and for all. Either
Conservatives will become formal Modernist or they will become formal
Traditionalists. This is the casting of
the die. There is no more sitting on the
fence any longer trying to believe Catholic doctrine while corrupting Catholic
immemorial ecclesiastical traditions.
There will be no more searching for the “right” priest or the “right”
indult church to attend. It will be a
refreshing breath of air; a clarity of vision for everyone.
Unfortunately at the same time, it will be
a source of great sorrow. The great
majority of Conservative Catholics will become formal Modernists. They have been so habituated to compromise in
practice that it is almost certain that they will find some way to become even
more supine than they already are. The
sorrowful part of this coming division is that it will be the former
Conservative-now Modernists who will be the most aggressive opponents and persecutors
of Catholic Tradition. Every faithful
Catholic to Tradition will suffer under this coming persecution and, what is
more sorrowful, experience the loss of family and friends to the Modernist
camp.
Priests who see insults offered to God and remain
silent are called by Isaias “mute dogs.” But to these
mute dogs shall be imputed all the sins that they could have – but have not
prevented.... Hence, St. Leo adds: “The
priest who does not withdraw another from error proves that he is himself involved
in it.”
St. Alphonsus De Liguori
Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to
defend truth is to suppress it.
Pope St. Felix III
Fast-Track Catholic Divorce
COMMENT: Pope
Francis the Humble and Merciful has instituted Fast-Track Catholic Divorce to
begin on December 8 for the “Year of Mercy”.
The divorced and remarried, who are in a state of objective adultery,
are now identified as the Church’s “poor” to whom the bishops must exercise a
‘preferential option’. A new ground for
“nullity” has been invented being the lack of “faith” which all of Pope
Francis’ predecessors were too blind to see, or just too unmerciful to forgive. So now, those who do not have the “faith” are
to be granted a Catholic divorce so they can regularize their new “marriages”
which were received without faith and then be admitted to the Church and
receive communion which they do not believe in?
It will be Msgr. Pio Vito Pinto at the Roman
Rota who will be implementing the Catholic divorce for Pope Francis through the
local ordinaries. He is calling for a “metànoia” of the Catholic bishops to the new divorce
regulations so that they will be seen as the will of God and the operation of
the Holy Ghost “who speaks through Francis.”
This sounds very much like the sin against the Holy Ghost which Jesus
Christ warned against. The coming schism
will clearly distinguish Catholic faithful from Novus Ordites.
So,
with this fundamental law, Francis makes a real beginning to his reform: by
putting the poor at the center, that is, the divorced and remarried, considered
set apart and distant, and asking bishops for a true and proper metànoia. That is to say, a “conversion”, a change of
mentality which convinces and sustains them in following the invitation of
Christ, present in their brother, the Bishop of Rome, to pass from the
restricted number of a few thousand annulments to that immeasurable [number]of
unfortunates who might have a declaration of nullity — because of evident of
absence of faith as a bridge to knowledge and thus to the free will
[necessary]to give sacramental consent — but are left on the outside by
the current system. [.…]
But
how will the bishops or eparchs, most of all in large
dioceses, be able to guarantee, at least in part and as a sign, their role as
shepherds and judges? What is important is that the spirit of
collegiality and communion among bishops under obedience to the Pontiff, begins
to permeate the hearts and minds of the shepherds. The faithful are waiting
with eagerness and love for such a metànoia and will
nonetheless be patient in the Lord when faced with the good faith of their
shepherds. The Jubilee Year of Mercy expects this sign of humble obedience (on
the part of the Churches’ shepherds) to the Spirit who speaks to them through
Francis.
Msgr.
Pio Vito Pinto, the Dean of the Tribunal of the Roman
Rota
Bishop Gainer’s Comment – Apparently he did not read
the fine print. The new regulations in fact
do “alter the… grounds on which annulments are granted,” that is, “evidence of
absence of faith.”
The reforms announced by our Holy Father will
simplify and in some cases quicken the process for obtaining an annulment
though the Diocese of Harrisburg. This will aid us in our mission of
compassionate healing to those in failed marriages and in our concern for the
salvation of souls. We see these changes as procedural in nature. They do not
alter the teaching of the Catholic Church on the permanency of marriage or the
grounds on which annulments are granted. The Diocese of Harrisburg, through our
Tribunal, remains committed to walking with those on a path of peace and
reconciliation with our merciful Lord.
Bishop Ronald
Gainer, Bishop of Harrisburg
COMMENT: Laudato Si’
represents a change in appearance in neo-modernism's liberation theology. Liberation Theology's purpose was to enroll
Catholic doctrine and morality in the service of Marxist Ideology. Laudato Si’s purpose is to enroll Catholic doctrine and
morality in the service of the Gaia cult of earth worship. Wisdom is the perfect knowledge about the
most important things in there right order of reference. Laudato Si’ is an
overthrow of Wisdom. Even when the
document speaks of some Catholic truth, it is never in the proper order of
reference.
Once
again, the Novus Order Regime in Rome endorses the United Nations call for One
World Government ruling a “noble
and generous society” based upon a “genuine and profound humanism” and thus,
repudiates the gospel message of the true “social teaching of the Church” to
promote and defend the social Kingship of Jesus Christ!
As Benedict XVI has affirmed in continuity
with the social teaching of the Church: “To manage the global economy; to
revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present
crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral
and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of
the environment and to regulate migration: for all this, there is urgent need
of a true world political authority, as my predecessor Blessed John XXIII
indicated some years ago.” […….] Here,
continuity is essential, because policies related to climate change and
environmental protection cannot be altered with every change of government.
Results take time and demand immediate outlays which may not produce tangible
effects within any one government’s term. That is why, in the absence of
pressure from the public and from civic institutions, political authorities
will always be reluctant to intervene, all the more when urgent needs must be
met. To take up these responsibilities and the costs they entail, politicians
will inevitably clash with the mindset of short-term gain and results which
dominates present-day economics and politics. But if they are courageous, they
will attest to their God-given dignity and leave behind a testimony of selfless
responsibility. A healthy politics is sorely needed, capable of reforming and
coordinating institutions, promoting best practices and overcoming undue
pressure and bureaucratic inertia. It should be added, though, that even the best mechanisms can break
down when there are no worthy goals and values, or a genuine and profound
humanism to serve as the basis of a noble and generous society.

The ‘1989 Profession of Faith’ - Which
demands in a Catholic creed the unconditional “submission of the will and the intellect,”
or as Lumen Gentium
says, submission of the “soul,” to the purely human and arbitrary authority of
the Pope, is enforced upon only Faithful Catholics and no one else!
COMMENT: The one “non-negotiable point” in the Vatican’s dealing
with the SSPX is the “1989 Profession of Faith” which demands from Catholics
the unconditional submission of the “will and the intellect,” or as Lumen Gentium
describes it, unconditional submission of the “soul,” to whatever the
“authentic (ordinary) magisterium” opines. This exercise of the “authentic (ordinary) magisterium” is the pope teaching by his grace of state to
which submission must always and necessarily be conditional and not to his
teaching by virtue of the attribute of infallibility which Jesus Christ has
endowed His Church. The “1989 Profession
of Faith” demands that the Faithful give to a man what can and must only be
given to God.
And just for the record, Pope Pius XII in Humani Generis taught nothing of the kind nor was Human Generis cited as an authoritative reference in Lumen Gentium
for this novel teaching! Every example
cited by Pope Pius XII in Humani Generis
demanding submissive obedience by the Faithful to the Holy Father regards his
teaching by the ‘authentic ordinary and universal Magisterium’
which is always infallible.
Jean-Marie Dumont: What is, therefore,
the non-negotiable point?
Archbishop Guido Pozzo: That which is
essential, that to which we cannot renounce, is adherence to the Professio fidei and to the principle
according to which it is only to the magisterium of
the Church that was entrusted by the Lord the faculty of authentic
interpreting, that is, with the authority of Christ, the written and
transmitted word of God. It is the Catholic doctrine, recalled by Vatican II (Dei Verbum, 10), but already expressly
taught by Pius XII in the encyclical Humani Generis.
This means that the Magisterium, while it is not of
course above Scripture and Tradition, is nevertheless the authentic instance
that judges the interpretations on Scripture and Tradition, from whichever part
they may come.
“Consequently, if
there are no different degrees of authority and adherence of the faithful to
her teachings - as the Vatican II dogmatic constitution Lumen Gentium (25) declares - no one can
place himself above the Magisterium. I earnestly
think and hope that, in this doctrinal framework that I have just explained, we
will be able to find the point of convergence and common agreement, because
this specific issue is a doctrinal point belonging to the Catholic faith, and
not to a legitimate theological discussion or to pastoral criteria.
Archbishop Guido Pozzo, secretary of the Pontifical Commission of Ecclesia
Dei and a member of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in an
interview with the French magazine Famille Chrétienne, October 20, 2014, responding to a question
regarding the Vatican negotiations with the SSPX.
The “mess,” the “great disorder,” the
“trouble in the dioceses,” is already here!
I
want to tell you something. What is it that I expect as a consequence of World
Youth Day? I want a mess. We knew that in Rio there would be great disorder,
but I want trouble in the dioceses! I
want to see the church get closer to the people. I want to get rid of clericalism,
the mundane, this closing ourselves off within ourselves, in our parishes,
schools or structures. Because these need to get out!
Pope
Francis at World Youth Day, Brazil
The “New
Evangelization” and the “New Ecclesial Realities”
The “new evangelization”
identifies “new ecclesial realities” as the “work of the Holy Spirit” and thus,
regards them as the means by which God will bring about a rebirth of Christian
faith since the collapse following Vatican II.
These “ecclesial realities” include such entities as the Neocatechumenal Way, Communion and Liberation, the Focolare Movement, and the Charismatic Renewal. They all embody the novel teachings of
Vatican II, which the hierarchy denies as having any causal relationship with
the collapse of faith that the “new ecclesial realities” are expected to
restore. These “ecclesial realities”
have developed more in Europe and Latin America than in the United States. The obvious reason for this is that the U. S.
is already a religious pluralistic society that has similar entities as these
“ecclesial realities” in every city. The
Masonic brotherhood religion for world peace has a lot in common with Focolare. The Neocatechumenal Way is comparable to a Baptist Evangelical
church with a Lutheran theological conception of the Holy Eucharist. The common thread among all these
“ecclesiastical realities” is that they seek an encounter with Jesus Christ
without the burden of dogma or the moral imperatives and duties that dogma
imposes. Cardinal Ratzinger
nevertheless, at the World Congress of Ecclesial Movements, May 27, 1998,
compared these “ecclesial realities” to St. Anthony of the Desert and the early
monastic movement, to St. Francis and St. Dominic, St. Ignatius and the
Jesuits, St. Teresa of Avila and St. Catherine of Siena. John Paul II addressed them on the vigil of
Pentecost in 1998 and said:
“With the Second Vatican Council, the Comforter recently
gave the Church, which according to the Fathers is the place 'where the Spirit
flourishes' (Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 749), a renewed
Pentecost, instilling a new and unforeseen dynamism. Whenever the Spirit
intervenes, he leaves people astonished. He brings about events of amazing
newness; he radically changes persons and history. This was the unforgettable
experience of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council during which, under the
guidance of the same Spirit, the Church rediscovered the charismatic dimension
as one of her constitutive elements: 'It is not only through the sacraments and
the ministrations of the Church that the Holy Spirit makes holy the people,
leads them and enriches them with his virtues. Allotting his gifts according as
he wills (cf. 1 Cor 12:11), he also distributes
special graces among the faithful of every rank.... He makes them fit and ready
to undertake various tasks and offices for the renewal and building up of the
Church' (Lumen gentium, n.12). […….] Today the
Church rejoices at the renewed confirmation of the prophet Joel's words which
we have just heard: 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh' (Acts 2:17).
You, present here, are the tangible proof of this 'outpouring' of the Spirit.
Each movement is different from the others, but they are all united in the same
communion and for the same mission. Some charisms given
by the Spirit burst in like an impetuous wind, which seizes people and carries
them to new ways of missionary commitment to the radical service of the Gospel,
by ceaselessly proclaiming the truths of faith, accepting the living stream of
tradition as a gift and instilling in each person an ardent desire for
holiness.[….] In our world, often dominated by a secularized culture which
encourages and promotes models of life without God, the faith of many is sorely
tested, and is frequently stifled and dies. Thus we see an urgent need for
powerful proclamation and solid, in-depth Christian formation. There is so much
need today for mature Christian personalities, conscious of their baptismal
identity, of their vocation and mission in the Church and in the world! There
is great need for living Christian communities! And here are the movements and
the new ecclesial communities: they are the response, given by the Holy Spirit,
to this critical challenge at the end of the millennium. You are this
providential response.”
John Paul II, speech addressing “ecclesial movements and
new communities.” May 30, 1998, Vigil of
Pentecost
Now, Pope Francis, who has recently
taken credit for introducing the Charismatic Renewal into Argentina, again
addressed these “new ecclesial realities” on the vigil of Pentecost and he
looks to them as the hope for the “new evangelization.” Pope Francis, who has knelt before Protestant
evangelical charismatics to receive their “blessing,”
cannot possible have any clue whatsoever regarding the discernment of
spirits.
At the funeral for Fr. Luigi Giussani, the
founder of the “ecclesial reality,” Communion and Liberation, Cardinal Joesph Ratzinger said, “Fr. Giussani always kept the eyes of his life and of his heart
fixed on Christ. In this way, he
understood that Christianity is not an intellectual system, a packet of dogmas,
a moralism, Christianity is rather an encounter, a
love story; it is an event.” It
was Jesus Christ who said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” (John
14:15) This is the necessary condition
of “love.” And only when that necessary
condition is fulfilled will Jesus, “ask the Father, and He shall give you
another Paraclete, and He may abide with you forever,
the Spirit of truth.” St. Francis and
Peter Waldo embraced the radical poverty of Jesus Christ but they were of
entirely different spirits. Only St.
Francis possessed the “Spirit of truth.”
He was a saint, Waldo, a heretic.
There is no encounter with Jesus Christ without believing His revealed
truth, that is, all dogmas that are formal objects of Divine and Catholic
faith, and keeping His commandments.
Whoever sets opposition between Jesus Christ and the truth He revealed
and the commandments He gave does not know Jesus Christ and does not possess
the Holy Ghost, the “Spirit of Christ.”
“Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.”(Rom.
8: 9) None of the saints identified by
Cardinal Ratzinger ever held any of our articles of
faith or our ecclesiastical traditions in contempt as these “new ecclesial
realities” clearly have done. And every
one of these saints gave evidence of personal holiness and performed remarkable
miracles as a testimony to the truth of their mission. The winter of Vatican II will be getting
colder and darker.

Danger to the Faith -
FATHER ENRICO ZOFFOLI
April 1995, Christian Order
“I
charge thee,( ... ):
preach the word, persevere in season and out of season, reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
“For
the day will come when they will no longer endure sound doctrine, but, after their
own lusts, men shall surround themselves with teachers, having
itching ears. And they shall refuse to listen to
the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
“But
watch thou attentively, know how to endure afflictions, do thy works as an evangelist,

DOCTRINAL ERRORS
We
have been able to identify these in the above-mentioned typewritten texts
reserved for the Catechists and kept secret not only from the public but also
from the faithful committed to the Way.
They
concern ideas which cannot be shared by many Neocatechumenals
and seem above all to be ignored especially by those who, devoid of theology,
are not in a position to judge their orthodoxy with the necessary competence.
The
accusation of heresy is aimed at the doctrinal
positions, not the persons, whom we still regard as
worthy of respect and who can be inspired by the best intentions.
* * * *
1.
SIN: man cannot
avoid committing it, in the same way as he can neither accomplish good nor
acquire merits for himself;
- conversion is
possible only as recognition, by everyone, of their own moral poverty, not as a
determined wish to correct one's faults which sanctity tends to realize;
- sin cannot offend God, and man does not incur the duty to
expiate it by satisfying the requirements of His justice.
2.
REDEMPTION: Jesus
has not brought this about by liberating man from his faults and reconciling
him with God;
- the passion and death of
Christ has not been a true sacrifice offered to the Father in
order to remedy sin and to redeem man;
- Jesus saved the world by virtue of His Resurrection: in
order to enjoy the fruits of His work it is enough to confess to be sinners and
to believe in the power of the risen Christ.
3.
THE CHURCH was
not founded by Christ as his only Sheepfold: it is
also possible to save oneself by following other religions;
- the Church is not a juridical
and hierarchical society, but a spiritual, charismatic one;
- in it there is not found a priesthood derived from the
sacrament of the Order - as it is sufficient to have the Baptism which,
incorporating all the believers in Christ, makes them participants of His
priestly dignity.
4. THE MASS is not a
“sacrifice”: the Church, at the altar, does not offer to God any Victim;
-
in place of the altar, there is nothing but the table, which
in the Eucharist allows a festive party to be celebrated among
brothers united by the same faith in the Resurrection;
- the consecrated bread and wine are only the symbol of the
presence of the risen Christ which unites the fellow-guests by communicating
their own spirit, thus making them participants in his triumph over death;
- the Mass, thus conceived, is not celebrated by the priest, but
by the Assembly, from which “springs the Eucharist.”
5. EUCHARISTIC WORSHIP does
not have any meaning, it negates the true, real and substantial presence
of Christ under the sacramental species. Acts of faith such as genuflections
before the Tabernacle, frequent Communions, hours of adoration, benedictions,
processions, congresses, etc. are not therefore justified.
6.
CONFESSION is
reduced to the sacrament of Baptism: their distinction does not go back to the
primitive Church:
-
the Church ”gestates and leads to the conversion.” “The important
thing is not the absolution” of the priest, because the value of the
confession is essentially its community and ecclesial nature;
- in the ”passages” and
in the, ”scrutinies” the
acknowledgement of one's transgressions, including the serious ones, is public,
as can still be the case during the ”redditio.”
7. THE CHRISTIAN LIFE, as
a voluntary effort of self-discipline, and therefore an exercise and progress
in virtue, is an illusion;
-
everyone remains intrinsically a sinner, incapable of
obtaining true justice as a perfection of the love of God and
of one's fellow creatures;
- on the other hand, Jesus has not been presented to anyone as a ”model” to
be imitated;
- He has commanded that we should actually hate our parents,
brothers, relatives etc, not just, if necessary, to be prepared to prefer
Him to them;
- in order to follow Christ, we need to sell our own goods; but, once this
renunciation has been accomplished, it is permissible to acquire others and to
enjoy all the pleasures of life. “Poverty” as understood by St. Francis, is
inspired by the ”natural religion,” and was also practiced by
the pagans: it is not a Christian virtue;
- Jesus, having suffered for us, has made our sufferings superfluous,
therefore the austerities of the ascetics, the slow martyrdom of the Saints and
the religious life itself, involving the effective practice of
the evangelical counsels, are not justifiable;
- eternal salvation is offered freely to all by the mercy of God, who
forgives everything. Hell should not exist, nor should one
speak of Purgatory, of prayers and of indulgences for the
dead.
8. THE HISTORY of
the true Church founded by Christ comes to an end with the Pax Constantinia and
does not resume its course until the 20th century with the Second
Vatican Council, having remained frozen for about 1,600 years ... ;
-
in this long interval, the exercise of the triple power of the hierarchical
Church (teaching, sanctification, guidance) would have been
improper, illegitimate ... ; and in particular the Council of Trent would be
responsible for the paralysis of the Church, determined to fix formulae of
faith, liturgical rites, disciplinary, rules ... ;
-
the interpretation of the Word of God is not reserved for the
Hierarchy, it is possible for all believers: ”the Bible is explained by
itself.” This freedom of examination in the exegesis excludes the
ecclesiastical Teaching, the tradition of the Elders and the doctrine of the
theologies
“The media gave a distorted picture of the Second Vatican Council.
Now the real spirit of Vatican II needs to be examined.”
Benedict XVI, from his final
address to the priests in the diocese of Rome 2-14-2013
Comment:
This "impromptu" address given to
the priests of the diocese of Rome should be read by every Catholic who is
faithful to the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. It is entitled “The Second Vatican Council, as I saw it.” In it Pope Benedict parrots every modernist
nostrum that we have been choking on for the last fifty years, all of which
have been thoroughly refuted time and again and many of which could be refuted
by Ratzinger’s own writings.
Just one example. Pope Benedict said in this address that the
“Liturgical movement had grown in Western Central Europe as the rediscovery of
the richness and depth of the liturgy which hitherto was almost locked with the
priest’s Roman Missal while the people prayed with their prayer books…. So the
task was to translate the high content, the language of the classical liturgy,
into more moving words, that were closer to the heart of the people……. Now
(after VC II) the beauty, the depth, the Missal’s wealth of human and spiritual
history was rediscovered as well as the need (for) more than one representative
of the people… to respond……. A real dialogue between priest and people so that
the liturgy of the altar and the liturgy of the people really were one single
liturgy, one active participation….. So that the liturgy was rediscovered,
renewed.”
Compare this with the following:
“What happened after the Council was
altogether different: instead of a liturgy, the fruit of continuous
development, a fabricated liturgy was put in its place. A living growing
process was abandoned and the fabrication started. There was no further wish to
continue the organic evolution and maturation of the living being throughout
the centuries and they were replaced -- as if in a technical production -- by a
fabrication, a banal product of the moment. Gamber,
with the vigilance of a true visionary and with the fearlessness of a true
witness, opposed this falsification and tirelessly taught us the living
fullness of a true liturgy, thanks to his incredibly rich knowledge of the
sources. As a man who knew and who loved history, he showed us the multiple forms
of the evolution and of the path of the liturgy; as a man who saw history from
the inside, he saw in this development and in the fruit of this development the
intangible reflection of the eternal liturgy, which is not the object of our
action, but which may marvelously continue to blossom and to ripen, if we join
its mystery intimately.”
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger,
from his introduction in the French edition of Monsignor Klaus Gamber’s book, The Reform of the Roman Rite
This is just one example. The entire missive, about ten type-written
pages, is nothing but the modernist version of the history of Vatican II where
subjective sentiments dominate objective reality. Soon its lies and distortions will die and be
buried with its last protagonist. “By
their fruits, who shall know them” (Matt. 7:16). It is instructive to see how the vice of pride can be so
blinding to facts. The Church over the
last fifty years has gone through the greatest decline in her entire history
with no evidence of any meaningful reversal.
Now, the “media” is responsible for the “distorted picture” of VC
II? And now, fifty years later, “the
real spirit” can at last “be examined.”
And for this tripe, he gets an ovation by the blighted clergy of Rome
for his pretend “humility.” We can take
consolation in the return of Benedict to Ratzinger,
that, no matter how bad the next pope may be, we will be dealing with someone
who has no personal stake for his legacy in salvaging the disaster that is
Vatican II.
Fr. Luigi Villa, Th.D. the author of Vatican II, About Face!, which details the heresies of Vatican II, died November 18 at the age
of 95. In his book Fr. Villa explains in detail the following “eight heresies
that have been ordained and promoted by this Council”:
1. The Cult of Man
2. A New Religion
3. “New Prophets” of Joy
4. Idolatry of the World
5. “Modernism”
6. “Religious Freedom”
7. Ecumenism
8. Universal Salvation
Pope
Benedict XVI demands “acknowledgment” of the ‘authentic magisterium’
as the one “indispensible condition”???
...[T]he entire phrase 'the Holy Father does not intend to leave aside
an indispensable condition' [in the Secretariat of State's draft] was cancelled
by Benedict XVI and replaced with, [in his own handwriting], 'For a future
recognition of the Fraternity of Saint Pius X, the full acknowledgment of the
Second Vatican Council and of the Magisterium of
Popes John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and of the same Benedict
XVI is an indispensable condition.
Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais
COMMENT: The word “Magisterium”
is capitalized in the original. It
should not be because it only refers to the “authentic magisterium”
which is a term that refers to the person who holds the papal office and not to
any particular teaching. The Magisterium of the Church is derived from the attribute of
Infallibility that Jesus Christ endowed His Church so that He could say, “He
who heareth you, heareth
Me” (Luke 10, 16). This power belongs to
the Church by its nature and only accidently to the person who occupies the
papal office. The Magisterium
of the Church was not employed by Vatican II or the councilar
popes for any of the novelties of the last fifty years. This demand of Pope
Benedict is asking only that Traditional Catholics “acknowledge” that Vatican
II and the post-conciliar popes personally taught
something. It does not distinguish
between the truth or the error of what was taught. If Pope Benedict wants to teach infallibly
and bind the “mind and will” of the Catholic faithful to a teaching as a formal
object of Divine and Catholic Faith, he can only do so by engaging the Magistrium of the Church.
An edited letter sent from the Mission in reply to Dr. E. Michael Jones
article, Traditionalism at the End of Its Tether, was published in Culture Wars
Magazine. The unedited letter has been posted on the Open Letters page to
better clarify the Mission’s position in defense of Catholic tradition. The
letter is entitled, Why the SSPX Cannot Effectively Defend Catholic
Tradition.
In all thy works remember
