SSPX, and the vast number of Roman Catholics who cling to the fundamental rites and teachings of the One True Church - including an acknowledgement of papal infallibility in matters of faith - have been barraged, as of late with public comments and actions that intentionally attack the tradition of the Church based on the dogma of past popes.
No pope may refuse to follow, or amend, dogma written by any of his predecessors.
After 2,000 years comes Vatican 2, and Karol Wojtyla, in the dress of the Vicar of Christ on Earth. Both have capriciously sought to alter the Sacred Teachings of those before him, not to mention their avoidance of explicit instruction The Christ gave to those He entrusted to shepard His Church.
To assert a declaration to the contrary is IMHO a heretical attack on Church Teaching.
There is no room in the Roman Catholic Church for those who refuse to accept the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, or papal infallibility. Yet the Holy See encourages our holy priests to participate in 'interfaith' committees of non-Ctholics. These committees are now dictating, on their terms, which homilies will be said, and what may be sung during Roman Catholic Holy Masses.
To condone the placement of pagan and false god symbols on the Sacred grounds of the Grotto of Fatima directly contradicts the teachings of The True One True Church at its very roots.
To tritefully declare the Four Gospels as historically inaccurate, and mere theological musings - as did the Bishop of San Jose, California - is to challenge the Truth of His Word - The Truth of our belief in Jesus the Christ as the only Son of God.
"Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you...." -- John 15:20
"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -- John 14:6
It's a pity this thread got bogged down by our favorite disruptor, who always manages to drag threads around to his personal obessessions, because I think this is an important issue. Why is the Bishop of San Jose allowed by the Church to come out and say something like this?
I was stunned when I read it. The sad thing is, of course, I didn't even expect any reaction from Rome, because they have tolerated so much. But you'd think something as major as claiming the ahistoricity of the Gospels would have provoked at least a tiny reaction.
Combining YOPIOS with YOPIOT is NOT Catholicism.
