Could have been written by Martin Luther now couldn't it have. Damn schismatics.
I guess you probably are the type who prays to the Pope in the morning.
After all, what is the point of (1) posting a 5 year old article and (2) accusing a fellow Catholic of worshipping the Pope - a crude, stupid anti-Catholic slander?
The only purpose is to foment discord and stir up strife.
In a phrase, to promote schism.
* A neologism invented by a schismatic rag and used by schismatics to attack Faithful Catholics. Such a word does not exist in Tradition.
But, the neo-trads are liberals. They submit to no authority if that authority opposes their personal predelictions, proclivities, prejudices. They are functionally protestant and woe betide that Faithful Christian who laughs at their presumptions, haughtiness, pride, arrogance, heresies and inanitites.
It is hysterically funny to read poorly-catehized and poorly-informed, laity (who publish from a basement) accusing such Saintly Theological genuises as Johannes Paulus Magnus of malign intent, poor theology and heretical actions.
But, birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, and schismatics gotta attack Divinely-Constituted authority to justify their perfidy.
The Oath of Modernism appikes to thse clowns in spades
THE OATH AGAINST MODERNISM ... Given by His Holiness St. Pius X September 1, 1910. To be sworn to by all clergy, pastors, confessors, preachers, religious superiors, and professors in philosophical-theological seminaries.
I . . . . firmly embrace and accept each and every definition that has been set forth and declared by the unerring teaching authority of the Church...
The Remnant should just publish their Creed on its masthead.
The Schismatic Creed
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
OBEDIENCE IS HERESY
SCHISM IS FIDELITY
Dr. William Marra coined the neologism "Papolatry." It was intended to create a layer of fog obscuring the advance of their untraditional practice of publicly opposing the Popes since 1948. It was intended to put on the defensive hundreds of millions of faithful Christians who, in the best Traditons of the Church, are obedient to the Magisterium.
It really is no different than when pagans charged the early church with worshipping Mary. St. Augustine's response? Prove it.
That is my response also. Prove I worship the Pope. Like St. Augustine, I say search our Missals and show me where worship is offered to the Pope. Come to the Pauline Rite where we, the redeemed, gather with Christ around the altar and offer the Sacrifice of the New Covenant to God, and listen for one word proving we worship the Pope and not God.
The fact of the matter is the self-annointed traditionalists are engaged in craven perfidy. They don't have the cojones to admit the truth of their situation. They are outside the church but they won't admit it. Instead, they label the Faithful as ones violating the First Commandment. It is an ugly, evil, and insane accusation but it does tend to befog the minds of some observers and tends to put the faithful on the defensive so the unfaithful can appear to be defending Tradition. It also tends to ensnare in their web of deceit the weak in Faith who become trapped in the schism.
The fact is, the self-annointed schismatic traditionalist acts no different than Luther sounded.
Luther at the Diet of Worms "Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen."
Lke Luther, the self-annointed traditionalist (SAT) rejects the Magisterium as authoritative. Like Luther, the SAT publicly accuses the Popes since 1948 with contradicting previous Popes. Like Luther, the SAT publicly accuses the most recent ecumenical council of contradicting previous ecumencial councils. Like Luther, they think they can, in good conscience, oppose the Divinely-Constitued Magisterium.
Unlike Luther, they don't have the cojones to speak the truth - "I stand outside the Church." Nope. They'd rather accuse the real Traditional Catholic - he who hears and obeys the Church, the Pillar and Ground of Truth, of enaging in "papolatry," a mortal sin.
