Oy. There is so much being presented as Catholic which is not. I don't blame these folks though. They have been taught a new religion for decades.
Accepted.
That is called baptism of desire.
Because you seemed unwilling to even discuss a religious issue with a non Catholic.
Since you did when you got back, I retract my comment.
Carry on...
That statement requires qualification. One who believes that the popes since Pius XII are not legitimate successors to St. Peter do not represent the Roman Catholic Church accurately.
You’re very welcome! : )
Funny, any true Traditionalist I know knows the Catholic Faith much better than any follower of the post Vatican II Church. This thread is just one example of this.
Post Vatican II : unbaptized infants with original sin (and for all intent and purposes) unborn babies can go to Heaven.
Pre-Vatican II: unbaptized infants can not go to Heaven.
Contradiction. Now the post Vatican II teaching is much more palatable, but I’ll stick with the Truth. Catholic Truth has never been easy.
He is the Successor of St. Peter, whether or not you are happy with Vatican II. Check what the Baltimore Catechism says about the Papacy. The Catholic Church is not a democracy. You don't choose not to follow the Church's teachings and be Catholic. If you question the Holy Father's Authority, Why not set your beliefs at the era prior to Alexander VI if you deny the Papacy? I understand that V-II turned a lot of people away, but denial of the Papacy is the same kind of disobedience that led to the Reformation.
Like it or not, that is what the Church teaches.
I know very well what the Catholic Church teaches about the papacy. I have done a lot of research into Catholic teaching prior to Vatican II and, in the areas ecumenism and religious liberty, it is not the same; it is not Catholic.
Here is what St Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church said of popes who are heretics:
"The fifth opinion therefore is the true one. A pope who is a manifest heretic automatically (per se) ceases to be pope and head, just as he ceases automatically to be a Christian and a member of the Church. Wherefore, he can be judged and punished by the Church. This is the teaching of all the ancient Fathers who teach that manifest heretics immediately lose all jurisdiction. "
Francis is a manifest heretic, especially with his latest non-Catholic, heretical belief called "ecumenism of blood". He even suggested it was heresy....and didn't care. According to St Bellarmine, he loses his office immediately.
I'm sorry, but I can not submit to a heretic. I was once where you were and I do get it, but I just can not do it anymore. No Catholic should submit to a heretic. I remain faithful to the Catholic Faith. Someday God will intervene and fix this mess.
And you have still not accepted the fact that the JPII catechism contradicts pre-Vatican II teaching regarding unbaptized infants. How did the Church teach for hundreds of years that they can not go to Heaven and then all of a sudden 1960 years later decide to teach the opposite....that they can?
Would a child on its mother's womb be burnt with a saline injection: dismembered by suction, literally pulling them apart? What of the barbarism where a full term baby's head is delivered, and instead of Baptismal water poured on the little one's head, scissors are inserted in the back of the head; the baby's brains sucked out while the skull collapses, and the baby's body delivered- while the mother is there consenting?
Yes that child has not been Baptised, but has it not suffered in innocence, despite original sin? "For my mother and father have abandoned me, but the Lord hath taken me up." And is this not also a Baptism of blood?
What about The Pill, which not only prevents pregnancy, but acts as an abortifacient? Now the Morning After Pill? We believe that a new human being is created by God at the moment of conception. In JPII'S time there came babies conceived in Petri dishes and test tubes, with the unwanted extra babies frozen or discarded.
Councils have been held throughout the centuries for various reasons pertinent to the times. The problems I see with V-II lie more in implementation than doctrine and liturgy. The changes were sweeping; they were drastic changes; the Baltimore Catechism was not replaced until JPII, and we needed one badly, because those who wanted their own agendas promulgated, giving false info in."the spirit of V-II" (ever read "AA1025"? It's about a communist plant. Just as Jesus was subverted from within and suffered, died and rose in His Earthly Body, so it is with His Mystical Body, the Church. Paul VI stated, "the smoke of satan has entered into the Church."
My point is, no matter what we think of individual Popes, they're still elected by the Guidance of the Holy Ghost. There is a in ubiquitous list of bad Popes that pop up on forum. Yet the Church has survived, because "the gates of hell shall not prevail against It.
I'm sorry, Pius, that I lost my cool with you, but I went through it, as I said, and my time away was painful. You can't just deny what is: just persevere. God be with you! PS: I have a BC of my own, as well as a Benzigers Bible History! :)
I actually didn’t take it that you lost your cool with me. I understand that my position is not a welcome one among conciliar Catholics.
Let’s just pray for each other during this time of crisis.
And to answer your question, no it is not Baptism of Blood.
Sorry, I should have written one post.
Bad popes are not the same as heretic popes. Bad popes are Catholics who sin. Heretic popes are non-Catholics which leads to the question of whether they are popes to begin with. Two very different things.
SO, what does happen to the soul of a child that was murdered in the womb??
I thought this was answered already in the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church.
Humor me. What is it?
Oh, by the way I’m a church going Catholic.
