“If the great saints had been around post-1960 they might have become more discriminating as to what they obeyed and what they questioned as being the work of the devil. “
Obedience to the Church Christ founded NEVER goes out of style....no matter who is leading. Many things often happen which seem unfair. God always tests the obedience of His followers.
PS There have been great saints even after 1960.
They don’t actually. That is why they are going to Rome, again, at his summons.
If the Lefebrerists refuse to recognize the ecumenical authority of Vatican II, and having been brought before the Church for repentance and having refused, let them be to us as a publican. Heck, publicans will preceed them in the Kingdom of Heaven.
We did what we could. If in their obstinacy they choose to resist grace, so be it.

Are you babbling ext Cathedra or is that just your odd opinion?

Why stop with the “Lefebrerists”. There aren’t more than a very few parishes in my diocese which follow the actual teachings of Vatican II. I see the same thing going on in other dioceses.
So does darn near the whole Church get ranked below the “publicans” or is some authority rejection better than others?

I never babble. I pontificate.

The wheat and the tares will grow together until the end of time.
Besides, although all the tares think they know better than the Successor of Peter, one way or the other. Some simply ignore him, whil others presume to dictate terms to him.
At times it is difficult to me to determine which one is more vile.

Yep, next step Dajjal is to accept abortion, gay marriage, etc. — something that won’t happen to the Church

This Religion Forum thread is labeled “Catholic Caucus” meaning if you are not currently, actively Catholic then do not post on this thread.
Could you confirm that this thread was originally marked “caucus”? I always respect the caucus designations and don’t recall seeing it when I first posted. Thanks.
There are no indications that the moderators added the “caucus” designation after it was posted and since only the mods can edit the title, it must have been posted that way.
Got it, thanks
