I’m not advocating, no.
But being an orthodox Catholic who for nearly his whole life has been a parishioner of a diocesan parish that was ripped apart early and often by modernist interlopers bent on singing a new church into existence in the wake of VII, I’m definitely squarely within the good Archbishop’s target audience.
That said, I’m aware of an SSPX mission parish not far away. It could be my escape hatch.
I’ve spent the better part of the last six years playing the respectfully rebuking Paul to my pastor’s and his parish priest’s and visiting priest’s doctrine-downplaying Peter. To any significant effect? Perhaps not, but my influence has not been without impact.
At this point, though, based on Archbishop Viganò’s guidance in this letter, I have to consider sheathing my proverbial biblical-era assault weapon and calling it a day. Satis est. Let the heretical modernists die by the sword they’ve been ruthlessly swinging at the One True Church for over 100 years.
Charity begins at home. I need to focus on my and my family’s friendship with the Lord and the spiritual growth he expects of us, year over year.
Well that’s good to hear. Schismatics are in grave sin and error. I know many people feel they are an answer, but they are no more an answer than Luther was.....
I was curious as to the perspective of your post because many schismatics point to Viganò for exoneration and justification..... The current Pope certainly has disappointed. But. Learn the Church through its history... not the false voices of the burn- it- all-down crowd. Debate is healthy, revealed truth is what the Church survives on. But would you put other post-Vat 2 Popes in that same box with Pope Francis? I would hope not.....only the most self-righteous and misguided extremist would find fault with JP2 as a spiritual leader in this world. When he wore the Robe.
