[Catholic Caucus] "Synodal" Pope Changes Canon Law to Prevent Bishops from Establishing New Traditional Priestly or Religious Communities in Their Dioceses

Again: motus in fine velocior.

According to a document released today (June 15) in the Bolletino, Pope Francis in an audience on February 7 with Braz de Aviz and José Rodríguez Carballo, O.F.M., the Cardinal Prefect and Secretary Archbishop of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, approved a provision that effectively changes Canon Law concerning the diocesan bishop's right to erect a Public Association of the Faithful that wishes eventually to become an institute of consecrated life or a society of apostolic life (i.e., in colloquial terms, a religious community or an order of priests).

Prior to today, the rule was given in Can. 312: "§1. The authority competent to erect public associations is: 1/ the Holy See for universal and international associations; 2/ the conference of bishops in its own territory for national associations, that is, those which from their founding are directed toward activity throughout the whole nation; 3/ the diocesan bishop in his own territory, but not a diocesan administrator, for diocesan associations, except, however, for those associations whose right of erection has been reserved to others by apostolic privilege." And: 

Can. 313. "Through the same decree by which the competent ecclesiastical authority according to the norm of can. 312 erects it, a public association and even a confederation of public associations is constituted a juridic person and, to the extent it is required, receives a mission for the purposes which it proposes to pursue in the name of the Church."

The new language specifically approved by the pope is as follows:

"The diocesan bishop, before erecting — by decree — a public association of the faithful with a view to becoming an Institute of Consecrated Life or a Society of Apostolic life of diocesan right, must obtain the written permission of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life."

This rescript is primarily aimed against the formation of new traditional communities and orders, which are springing up all over the place. That, as we know from the pope's obsessive comments, is what keeps him and his collaborators wide awake at night in fear — fear that the spirit of Vatican II is threatened by the "restorers."

Given that this Dicastery is currently run by two progressivist thugs, the chances of receiving permission for such Public Associations if they have even a remotely Catholic sensibility are worse than null. 

Patience. Time is on our side. Even if for some aspiring communities this will mean the catacombs, the underground, the Mass rock, our time will come. Meanwhile let us remain faithful to life-giving tradition, with or without the dignity of official recognition.

ADDENDUM: Gregory DiPippo pointed out the following passage from Lumen Gentium (n. 27): “The pastoral office, or the habitual and daily care of their sheep, is entrusted to [the local bishops] completely, nor are they to be regarded as vicars of the Roman Pontiffs, for they exercise an authority that is proper to them.... In virtue of this power, bishops have the sacred right and the duty before the Lord to make laws for their subjects, to pass judgment on them and to moderate everything pertaining to the ordering of worship and the apostolate.”

How the ironies multiply...

The dictator pope is castrating his conservative bishops, while letting Batcrazy and his other German heretic bishops carry-on with their German "Sin-Nod".

Satan’s pope is no longer a Catholic. He’s the chief honcho of the Conciliar Church which was established by the Satan Council (1962-1965 to replace the Catholic Church. The remnant of the true Catholic Church still exists and is represented around the world by the traditionalist Latin Mass societies and communities such as the SSPX established by French Archbishop LeFebvre November 1, 1970.

Francis is just being a good leftist: Power to the Papal!

“The remnant of the true Catholic Church still exists and is represented around the world by the traditionalist Latin Mass societies and communities such as the SSPX established by French Archbishop LeFebvre November 1, 1970.”

Yes indeed!! I am blessed - I am a 10 minute drive from an SSPX chapel and attend their have daily TLM mass!! Deo gratias.

Yes, you are very fortunate to be so close to that chapel. The closest chapel to me where the Latin Mass is celebrated is in Mount Pleasant, PA which is a 1-1/2 hour drive from my home.

Pope Francis is not a good Pope. He admits he invites schism into t he Church.
He constantly puts his will ahead of God's will. He embraces secularism.
OK. Got it.. Ad nauseum.

Do you not then see a problem with fringe Scismstic groups accepting faculties and extended Church Graces then from this Pope, from the very same office they accuse of being heretical?

And so do you not believe the Catholic Church still has valid Apostolic succession- and can validly Consecrate the Eucharist at the N.O. Mass' any longer?

And do you not believe that in the history of the Magisterial Church- even before evil Vatican II, that included many flawed, bad Pope's that the Body of Christ has had to suffer through, and so did?

No I don’t see a problem. Will respond in detail later. Busy right now.

Yes, but I believe what CAN be done validly is not necessarily what IS being done validly. More later.

And do you not believe that in the history of the Magisterial Church- even before evil Vatican II, that included many flawed, bad Pope’s that the Body of Christ has had to suffer through, and so did?

Of course! History is history, but what’s your point? More later. Bye.

[MurphsLaw]

Of course! History is history, but what’s your point?

My point is the Church- in its history - documents, and perseveres through, BAD Popes.
It is in the DNA of the Church- and we start with St. Peter in that history.
We will always have a failed Pope from time to time. That's human nature.

Pope Francis is a dud. He puts his personal desire ahead of the Church.
It's that simple.
NO ONE can dispute that.
To attribute his flaws and failings though to Vat2 - is wrong and misleading.
And it detracts from the real problem. Ego and Pride.
Thats the same as saying America sucks because Joe Biden is President.
Popes up and down the ages have not been good Shepherds- and often times even evil.
Bad Popes, turning their back on God, grows out of personal decision, want or desire- no printed word can cause that sin, no printed word can be used to excuse sin.

You don't have to respond-
I just venting irritation as Vat2 always becomes the whipping boy, ad nauseum... and detracts from the true fault, or sin- the lack of moral, ethical behavior- through mis-use of conscious-
That which is truly the cause of sinful behavior.

Adam and Eve didn't need a council to sin...
just weak mindedness, tempted by satan.

[ebb tide]

To attribute his flaws and failings though to Vat2 - is wrong and misleading.

Oh, how so wrong!!!

Bergoglio's many flaw and failings are predicated on VC II. His every attempt to destroy the Church, he bases on VC II or its evil spirit.

[ebb tide]

Pull that wool out of your eyes, Murph.

Pope Francis is drawing on Vatican II to radically change how the Catholic Church is governed

[MurphsLaw]

Yeah....
Sure...Pope Francis IS ALL ABOUT VATICAN 2...
Sure, like the schism part of Vat2
Sure, like the Sacred Liturgy part of Vatican 2?
Sure like the discouraging conversion to Catholicism like Vatican 2?
Sure, like keeping the Eucharist as the Source and Summit of the Christian Faith part of Vat2?

Yeah sure, Pope Francis is all about Vat2...
Yeah believe what you read...
America would never steer anyone wrong.../

What's wrong with Vatican II? FAQs

1. What is wrong with the Second Vatican Council?

The Second Vatican Council taught doctrines which had been already condemned by the Church, and enacted disciplines which are contrary to the Church's teaching and constant practice.

2. What doctrines did it teach which were already condemned?

There are four major errors concerning: (1) the unity of the Church; (2) ecumenism; (3) religious liberty; (4) collegiality.

3. What false doctrine does it teach concerning the unity of the Church?

Vatican II teaches heresy concerning the unity of the Church, namely that the Church of Christ is not exclusively identified with the Catholic Church, but merely subsists in it. This heretical doctrine is contained principally in Lumen Gentium, and its heretical meaning is confirmed in statements of Paul VI and his successors, particularly in the 1983 Code of Canon Law, in the 1992 Statement concerning Church and Communion, and in the Ecumenical Directory.

 It is contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church, contained principally in Satis Cognitum of Pope Leo XIII, Mortalium Animos of Pope Pius XI, Mystici Corporis of Pope Pius XII, and in the condemnations of the "Branch Theory" made by the Holy Office under Pope Pius IX.

4. What false doctrine does it teach concerning ecumenism?

The teaching of Vatican II concerning ecumenism, which states that non-Catholic religions are a "means of salvation," is overtly heretical. This doctrine directly contradicts the teaching of the Church that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, called by Pope Pius IX "a most well-known Catholic dogma." In addition, the ecumenical practices which have resulted from this heretical doctrine are directly contrary to Mortalium Animos of Pope Pius XI.

5. What false doctrine does it teach concerning religious liberty?

The teaching of Vatican II on religious liberty, contained in Dignitatis Humanae, nearly word for word asserts the very doctrine which was condemned by Pope Pius VII in Post Tam Diuturnas, by Pope Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos, by Pope Pius IX in Quanta Cura, and by Pope Leo XIII in Libertas Praestantissimum. The teaching of Vatican II on religious liberty also contradicts the royalty of Jesus Christ in society as expressed in Quas Primas of Pope Pius XI, and the constant attitude and practice of the Church with regard to civil society.

6. What false doctrine does it teach concerning collegiality?

The teaching of Vatican II concerning collegiality alters the monarchical constitution of the Catholic Church, with which she was endowed by the Divine Savior. The doctrine of Vatican II, confirmed by the 1983 Code of Canon Law, which states that the subject (the possessor) of the supreme authority of the Church is the college of bishops together with the pope, is contrary to the defined doctrine of the Council of Florence and of Vatican I.

7. What is wrong with the disciplines which have emanated from Vatican II?

The 1983 Code of Canon Law contains the heresy of Vatican II concerning the Church, mentioned above. It also permits sacrilege to the Blessed Sacrament, by approving of its reception by non-Catholics, which is a mortal sin, and permits communicatio in sacris (common public worship) with non-Catholics, which is a mortal sin. In addition, the Ecumenical Directory of 1993 permits ecumenical practices which have always been taught by the Church to be mortally sinful.

8. What does all this mean?

It means that Vatican II and its subsequent reforms have given us a new religion, a religion which is substantially different from the Roman Catholic Faith founded by Christ.

The reformers have substantially altered the three main components of religion: doctrine, worship, and discipline. The result is that the reformers are promoting a religion of ecumenism in place of the Roman Catholic religion, which has always taught that it alone is the one, true Faith, and that all other religions are false. The Vatican II religion teaches doctrines which have been condemned by the Church in the past. It has instituted rites and disciplines which are Protestant in nature.

As a result, the religion which Catholics find in their local parishes and schools, although in name Catholic, is a new, non-Catholic religion already condemned by the Catholic Church.

9. Could it be that you are merely giving a bad interpretation to Vatican II?

 No. The heretical nature of this council is confirmed by:

1. the doctrinal interpretation given to Vatican II by Paul VI and his successors in their decrees, encyclicals, catechisms, etc.;
2. the series of abominations perpetrated by John Paul II against the First Commandment of God, in the form of ecumenical ceremonies which constitute false worship, even to pagan deities in some cases;
3. the alteration of the Sacred Liturgy in such a way that the Catholic Mass has been replaced by a Protestant supper service;
4. the tampering with the matter and form of the sacraments so that many of them, but most notably the Holy Eucharist and Holy Orders, labor under doubt or invalidity;
5. the promulgation of disciplines, especially the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the Ecumenical Directory, which approve of sacrilege against the Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of Matrimony, and which demonstrate heresies concerning the unity of the Church as their theoretical basis;
6. the scandalous mockery made of the Sacrament of Matrimony by the granting of annulments for spurious reasons, constituting an abandonment of the sacred doctrine of the indissolubility of marriage;
7. the fact that John Paul II is in communion with manifest heretics, has openly declared himself to be in communion with non-Catholic sects, and has recognized an apostolic mission in schismatic and Lutheran bishops, all of which destroys the unity of faith. He has even kissed the Koran, which explicitly denies the Incarnation and the Trinity. He has also publicly prayed that St. John the Baptist protect Islam.

[MurphsLaw]

Who wrote that garbage? Every point just about goes against the Sacred Word... I'll bite... on the last very point...

But I wonder... Do you not believe in Christ or what?

the fact that John Paul II is in communion with manifest heretics, ... with non-Catholic sects, and has recognized an apostolic mission in schismatic and Lutheran bishops, all of which destroys the unity of faith.

Unity of Faith?
Did not Jesus Christ eat and Consort with sinners- against the objections of the Pharisees?
Did not Peter, the 1st Pope, Preach of Christ...

+++ 9 The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you,[a] not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.+++

Do you read a Bible?

He has even kissed the Koran, which explicitly denies the Incarnation and the Trinity. He has also publicly prayed that St. John the Baptist protect Islam.

Though its not easy, I grant you,

But do you Not Believe in Jesus Christ When He tells us
"We Must Love Our Enemies"?

Turn the Cheek stuff?
We just had the Gospel this very week?
So JP2 is wrong to Love his enemy?

Sounds to me those accusing Vatican 2 for whatever reason
are asking those who would agree with them to chuck the Sacred Gospel...
for the sake of a different...."Unity"
