@Michael_J_Matt Cannon law says. All they have to do is BELIEVE THEY ARE IN A CRISIS IN THE CHURCH AND IT IS LEGAL. I HOPE THE POPE TRULY MEANS WHAT HE SAYS about unity inclusiveness and dialogue as a way to God and not punish them for doing just that
@CasaMonteverdi@BigModernism It is not schism , it was allowed by past Popes & his reason for not accepting this is because he just doesn’t want traditional Christians , priests in the church ! They don’t go along with the LGBTQ community that want to live in sin without repentance being ok’d by the church
The only response the SSPX should give to Modernist Rome is the same as what Abp. Lefebvre gave them in 1988:
Excommunication is indifferent to us. It is not we who have changed. We would be condemned by those who would themselves have been excommunicated by previous popes.
A lot of Catholics are saying that unless liberal (rainbow) priests are excommunicated, it is hypocritical of Rome to excommunicate the SSPX. While I understand the sentiment, this is "apples and oranges". The SSPX situation is not fundamentally a liberal/conservative issue but a Catholic ecclesiology question. Do bishops (whether liberal or conservative) have the right to consecrate new bishops against the express wishes of the Pope? The danger of saying "yes" to such a claim is that such a precedent would also obviously help liberal schismatics as much as conservative ones. Liberals could start consecrating the most wildly unorthodox bishops you could imagine (in openly gay relationships, radically pro abortion, etc). There would be no limit.
This question on whether the Pope gets to decide who is made bishop is a much bigger question than whether you like the TLM or not. It is a much bigger question than what to do when a particular priest does something scandalous. It is the very foundation of Catholicism at risk.
I have a feeling Trump KNEW the Supreme Court would overturn his birthright citizenship changes. He says he has a plan for what to do next. I have a few suggestions as well:
- Strengthen border security, interior enforcement, and visa restrictions.
- Increase removal of noncitizens before they have US-born children.
- Limit federal/state benefits for illegal immigrants and require proof of parental status for as much as constitutionally possible.
- Cut back and tighten H-1B, student, and tourist visas.
- Improve the tracking of immigration status for birth records.
Voter I.D. + Proof of Citizenship is a top issue in this county for all Americans. We MUST fight to place this in the base text of the NDAA and force the Senate to vote on this. We must fight for our country and secure elections.
If you're wondering if there is a state of emergency in the Church, you may want to listen to this. ALL the facts are covered on LifeSite in detail.
The State of Emergency In The Catholic Church - Celtic Version
🚨 JUST IN: Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN) just introduced the Anchors Away Act which BANS certain pregnant women who are seeking to give birth here, from entering the U.S.
DO YOU SUPPORT THIS? ✋🏼
We must pass my constitutional amendment to strip birthright citizenship from the children of illegal aliens.
The Supreme Court refuses to stop the invasion, so Congress MUST act.
The Fourteenth Amendment wasn’t written to be a floor mat to mass illegal migration.
The Supreme Court got this one wrong.
And Congress shouldn’t hide behind the courts. It should clarify the law and restore the original purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment.
I should know, family lived the history that produced this amendment.
@CasaMonteverdi@BigModernism Can Law, says they can do the bishops and this is just political left-wing agenda in the church against conservative traditional Catholics who follow the Catholic laws to the T and you know it so do the true Catholics!
