@EyesToSee247@poperespecter1@Protestia You can look up the official Catholic teachings whenever you want in the Catechism.
What religion do you practice btw?
@EyesToSee247@poperespecter1@Protestia the Catholic Church can demand the Orthodox and SSPX to not call themselves Catholic. Yet it wouldn’t help heal divisions and they wouldn’t listen most likely. How does the Church operate in the modern day?
Point is, the organization is not an official Catholic group.
@StoicTradition@jarldietrich@Catholicizm1 Trads bash the Pope (and/or the hierarchy) constantly and then say “but don’t become a sede.” What do they think is going to happen?
@EyesToSee247@poperespecter1@Protestia The Anglican Church calls themselves Catholic as do the Orthodox Church, the SSPX, the Episcopalians as well. Means nothing.
@TLM_Ryan@jarldietrich That’s not even close to what happens at an average mass in an average parish. This is the mass that 95% of Catholics attend btw
@interject_robot@jarldietrich It really depends on what you mean. A lot of people don’t want to criticize their own group. It’s human nature. But even if we do have some wrong or misguided clergy at times, nobody forces a lay person to use contraception or get an abortion.
@RupnikClock@poperespecter1@AramisCatholic I suppose we can’t know for sure ok fine but the flippant way this man Fellay spoke about excommunication from the Catholic Church is frightening and disgusting.
@MaryEaton181006@timotheeology Well JPII was Pope from ‘78 until ‘05. SSPX was an experimental lay society (originally) started by a retired archbishop. He disobeyed several times. And the Popes still gave him chance after chance & several olive branches. Now it’s the Church who has to “come back” to SSPX?
@CoTay24@aranel_2020@timotheeology It seems like (some of) the trads are quick as usual to be negative and disrespectful of the Pope, the hierarchy etc
Many such cases. Sad.
@olyhere4tucker@Sachinettiyil How could you possibly get that message from this story? The mass is said in various forms. Latin mass, novus ordo, liturgy of St John Chrysostom, ordinariate etc
Christ is truly present in the masses of his Church.
Essentially this priest experienced a miracle.
