Is Catholicism about to break into three?

How do you pronounce “sedevacantist”?

I pronounce it "dipstick"

[terycarl]

Very happy that for the past 28 years I have been regularly attending a real mass at a Sedevacantist chapel.

I looked that up....just another group who think that they are more qualified to interpret Catholicism than are the other 1.5 billion Catholics.....sigh

[terycarl]

Martin Luther was Right.

Becoming a priest, yes....after that, not so much...probably costing the souls of more people than any other person in history.

[amorphous]

Yes, we are in the End Times:

For the DOW too it seems:

[BlackElk]

Pope St. John Paul II defined SSPX as a schismatic movement and summarily excommunicated its ringleaders (LeFebvre, Castro de Meyer, de Mallerais, Fellay, Williamson and de Gallareta). That Benedict XVI saw fit as a matter of ecclesiastical mercy to lift the excommunications of those still living and not the dead Lefebvre and did NOT lift the declaration of schism and did not affect SSPX's status as schismatic. Subsequently Fellay and the the other survivors, upon what "authority" we may only speculate, purported to excommunicate Williamson, the Holocaust denier.

Note that the notorious heretic Maguire feels no compunction to oppose SSPX, SSPV, or the "churches" descended from the Utrecht heresy of the mid-19th century. Nor do we often hear SSPX, SSPV, etc., objecting to heretics like Maguire. What have they all in common? Contempt for papal authority. Natch!

[BlackElk]

High five!

[BlackElk]

Unless Maguire repents as publicly as he has sinned. after his death he will likely be living somewhere considerably hotter and more permanent than Wisconsin.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Maguire was one of those big brave men who had the courage to attack unborn babies.

What a miserable corrupt mind he exhibited.

[verga]

I really wish these people had the courage to admit that they are really protestants.

[Arthur McGowan]

I could be wrong, because I couldn’t stand to read it all, but I didn’t see Longenecker ever mentioning that the “progressive,” Nancy-Pelosi-type “Catholics” are fanatically pro-abortion. The code-words for that are that they “care passionately about the marginalized, blah blah blah.”

[Arthur McGowan]

If the “Son” and the “Spirit” both proceed from the Father, then their relation to the Father is the same, and thus there would be two “Sons” or two “Spirits.” There would be nothing to distinguish the Son and the Spirit. If there is nothing to distinguish and the two, they can’t exist. IOW, it’s impossible.

[Arthur McGowan]

“Declaration of schism”??? By JPII???

I’m not aware that any such declaration ever existed.

The excommunications of SIX people occurred, because of the illicit episcopal ordinations.

[Heart-Rest]

We really need some more of these Protestant denominations created, because we're running a little low in them right now...

:-)

[BlatherNaut]

Pope St. John Paul II defined SSPX as a schismatic movement and summarily excommunicated its ringleaders

"Ecclesia Dei" mischaracterizes "disobedience" as a "schismatic act". Equating "disobedience" with "schism" was unprecedented prior to JPII's modernist papacy. It is clearly an erroneous conflation.

[piusv]

Yes, I wish Francis would do that. It would save us all a lot of trouble.

This only shows that you really don't know what these groups say or don't say/believe or don't believe.

[HomerBohn]

At least I don’t know of any Sedevacantists who rant about their beliefs. As a group I believe they’re aware of the evils that are being exposed in what passes for Christianity in today’s world. As a group they worship God in the way that existed before the creation of the new self-centered religion.

The disintegration of the Roman Catholic Church emanating from the Vatican has been ongoing for over 50 years. It has morphed into something that accommodates the modernists’ thinking in regards to morals and not how Jesus Christ wanted his followers to live their lives.

It will all be revealed to us individually after we leave this life, but the problem is we won’t be able to tell those left behind.

DW, you're right! Salvation sent me this link to a speaking pronunciation dictionary.

http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=sedevacantism

Years ago, I read a book on linguistics (by Jesperson, maybe?) that argued there are hundreds of words in English that were simply not part of the spoken language; he based this on the observation that dictionaries disagreed on the pronunciation.

[HomerBohn]

...he has done nothing to weaken Catholic teaching and has merely expressed his own opinions...

Au contraire, mon ami. (A little French lingo there to demonstrate my fondness for little froggies.)

He should have stayed in Buenos Aires.

Historically, whenever any pronouncements in regards to faith and morals emanated from the Vatican, the entire Christian (and Judaic) world paid particular attention.

There are many things wrong with this human being, but catering to homosexuals and lesbians (I recognize no other abnormal behavior) and espousing his admiration for a one world government AND the global warming lie, places him firmly in the camp of those who secretly loath Christianity as well as mankind for that matter.

[HomerBohn]

Go to your bishopric’s website and usually you’ll find them listed under ‘excommunicated’ or ‘schism’.

Many Sedevacantist churches and chapels make their principal mass of the day available live on the internet. They can be found by googleing ‘Latin Mass’, or ‘Traditional Roman Catholic Mass’. Worshippers who don’t have a traditional Church available in their area can follow along with their missals and be rewarded instead of feeling condemned by the new religion.
