@Xtopher_Uzo I think you might be contradicting yourself here. Admitting people suffer for others' actions shows TC relies on collective responsibility. Restricting loyal Catholics doesn't foster unity—it just illustrates the problem I pointed out.
@jmorizwagner@JJustTellsIt@Xtopher_Uzo BTW, addressing individual missteps through general restrictions is always a delicate matter. Preserving true unity works best when distinguishing between a few radical voices and the quiet loyalty of the faithful.
@jmorizwagner@JJustTellsIt@Xtopher_Uzo Summorum Pontificum built vibrant, loyal communities in full communion with Rome. Though TC aimed to address real concerns, restricting diocesan faithful unintentionally strengthened the FSSPX. Recent events prove SP’s approach of trust remains the best path to unity.
@PLInkwizytor Efekt jest taki, że ludzie, którym zabrano tradycyjną Mszę w diecezjach, poszli właśnie do Bractwa.
Zamiast przyznać, że ten dokument przyniósł efekt odwrotny do zamierzonego, wolisz pisać esej o charyzmatykach, jansenizmie i św. Grzegorzu. Zwykłe uciekanie od tematu. 2/2
@PLInkwizytor Długi wywód, ale to zwykłe odwracanie uwagi od sedna.
Komentujący mieli 100% racji: Traditionis Custodes uderzyło w posłusznych katolików w parafiach, a nie w Bractwo. FSSPX i tak ma decyzje Watykanu w nosie. 1/2
@SantaTarcisius That’s a misconception. Catholic theology strictly forbids intentional self-harm or damaging one's health. True penance is about spiritual discipline and love, not destroying the gifts God gave us.
@Xtopher_Uzo@Emma506131772 TLM keeps growing among young people anyway. Cutting local access didn't kill the interest—it just pushed a chunk of trads straight to the SSPX. That empowered the SSPX to take that tragic, deeply harmful step on July 1, 2026.
@PCh24pl Polska to chyba jeden z 3 krajów na świecie, gdzie Episkopat utrzymał obowiązkowy post w piątki (sam to popieram). Co do samej dyspensy – patrzę na to tak, jak mądrze zauważył kiedyś pewien ksiądz: sam fakt, że ktoś o nią prosi, to już wyznanie wiary i szacunek dla zasad. 1/2
@Michaelmrw@UcheMaryOkoli That’s a misconception. A bilingual missal easily bridges the gap.
The Apostles preached in local tongues—just like the sermon at a Latin Mass is in the local language!
Plus, with global travel, Latin offers unity: you can follow Mass anywhere from Tokyo to Paris.
@Xtopher_Uzo I get the humor, but there's actually a middle ground! Rules depend on the Episcopal Conference. In Europe, in Poland (my country), meat abstinence IS mandatory. But in the US or on your continent in Africa, substitution is allowed. It all depends on local Church law.
@UcheMaryOkoli Look at the broader picture. Canon Law leaves Friday penance rules to local bishops. In Europe, Poland (my country), abstaining from meat is strictly mandatory. However, in the US or on your continent in Africa, Episcopal Conferences allow substituting it with prayer or charity.
