Featured Term (selected at random):

SEDE VACANTE

The period during which an episcopal see or diocese is vacant, that is, without a bishop. Generally applied to the See of Rome. Procedures during this time follow the norms set down by Pope Paul VI in the apostolic constitution Romano Pontifici Eligendo (1975), superseding the directives of Pope Pius XII (1945), and Pope John XXIII (1962).

I've been carrying on a FReepmail conversation with someone who attends a Tridentine Mass (endorsed by Pope Benedict) and yet he/she claims to be a sedevacatist.

This doesn't make sense to me. Not recognizing the Pope and yet attending the Tridentine which Pope Benedict endorses.

Can anyone help me fathom out any reasoning here?

[Salvation]

sedevacatist.
sedevacantist. Opps.

Hey, I have a favor to ask.
Would there be any way that you could post a pronunciation guide to the word of the day?

I’m trying to tweak my Latin!

[Salvation]

It’s not in the dictionary that Father Hardon does. If anyone wants to look them up and post the pronounciation, they could certainly do it. (Enough on my plate......LOL!)

[Salvation]

Opps.
Oops — the fingers just aren’t going where I want them to go this morning. LOL!

[netmilsmom]

Cool! I don’t want you to do anymore, you certainly do enough!

Hugs!

I would say that she really would like to be an SSPXer. I’m wondering if the 13 ordinations this weekend are meant to be a slap to the vatican and their efforts to bring them back.

My SSPX friend, who drove to Minn. all the way from AZ still believes that Pope Benedict is a modernist pretender.

[Salvation]

**still believes that Pope Benedict is a modernist pretender.**

That’s unbelievable.
