The SSPX should really just become Orthodox.

If they want the liturgy, we have it.

If they want the mysteries, we have them.

You cannot larp the faith, don't try. ☦️

Quit your addictions.

Conquer your passions.

Obey your priest.

@luchi_deusvult @CodeToConduit Laypeople have always read in the liturgy; I have no idea what you're talking about.

Yo, which pagan symbol are we taking next @howlinghowler_?

I'm thinking the Ankh, or maybe the Triskelion?

[Bearer of The Sword of Truth ☦️ @JayceHelms]

Okay, I'll take you through the premises then.

Premise 1: Roman Catholic theology holds that the Roman Catholic church is the true church.

Premise 2: The Roman Catholic church mandates that you are obedient to it's eccumical councils.

Premise 3: The Council of Vatican 2 declares that salvation can be found outside the Roman Catholic church.

Conclusion: If you believe in Roman Catholic theology, you must believe that salvation can be found outside the Roman Catholic Church, or else you cannot be Catholic.

Please explain to me where I went wrong.

God bless you all,

Speak less, pray more

@alfreeburger I'm not sure that it is. A couple of bishops doesn't turn the whole Church. In my experience most parishes in the US are extremely theologically conservitave.

@temucoupon1 Yes true, which is quite sad. I hope we can break that trope. Maybe I should make a post about that...

@Imhotepthe3rd I mean, you don't HAVE to be western rite...

@FreeIrishman7 Vatican 2 has some questions for you

[Bearer of The Sword of Truth ☦️ @JayceHelms]

@Cyberd3m0nFella I'm not mormon bro

[Bearer of The Sword of Truth ☦️ @JayceHelms]

@alfreeburger Yes, we have had our problems, but "a few years behind" is silly. The Vatican has been liberal for decades.

[Bearer of The Sword of Truth ☦️ @JayceHelms]

@CodeToConduit I mean, laypeople are allowed to read in the liturgy, as long as it isn't the gospel reading.

[Bearer of The Sword of Truth ☦️ @JayceHelms]

@AmosKissel I mean, the vernacular part is actually important, that's not really the problem. It's the protestanization of the liturgy I think I have a problem with

[Bearer of The Sword of Truth ☦️ @JayceHelms]

The Church is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. However for my RC bothers, it appears you now must make a choice.

1. Be a novus ordo attendee and lose the holiness (set apart from the world).

Or

2. Become SSPX and lose the oneness and the apostolic nature.

The Orthodox Church offers it all, it carries all four marks of The Church, not just two or three.

Those who now find themselves as schismatics should choose carefully.
