@LittleKeegs0 @melialfp @tonyannett Hmmmmm.. You’ve read about it. So when was the last time the US congress really re-did the tax code and what was the main change?

[Michael Windett @Popesplainerman]

@LittleKeegs0 @melialfp @tonyannett Do you know anything about income tax?

@kennedyhall It’s not a good practice to criticize legitimate changes by a bishop. That’s sinful

SSPX=KENNEDY HALL= SCHISM

[Fr. Cyril @FrCyril_D]

Schism is a very very serious sin.

St Igantius (a disciple of the Apostle John)

"Be not deceived, my brethren; if any one followeth a schismatic, he doth not inherit the kingdom of God; if any man walketh in an alien opinion, he agreeth not with the passion of Christ." Letter to the Philadelphians, 3.3.

@melialfp @tonyannett There is no rationale

@tonyannett You are welcome to donate yourself

[Michael Windett @Popesplainerman]

The SSPX is a schismatic group no doubt about it.

[Michael Windett @Popesplainerman]

@tonyannett It’s true

@CarlPendleton6 To be Catholic you must be subject to the Roman Pontiff

"To judge from social media, you’d think the document is primarily devoted to artificial intelligence, with some irrelevant comments about slavery and just war theory arbitrarily tacked on. You’d also think those comments mark a rupture with traditional Catholic teaching. None of this is true. There is no break with traditional teaching. While artificial intelligence (or AI) gets significant attention, the encyclical is actually devoted to a much larger theme, of which AI is only a part. And the remarks on slavery and just war theory are not arbitrary, but fit in naturally with this larger theme. Magnifica Humanitas is in fact a major contribution to the tradition of Catholic social teaching inaugurated by the pope’s namesake Leo XIII in Rerum Novarum. It is rich in insights, and gives Catholics a sound framework for dealing with the 'new things' of our times, just as Rerum Novarum did for Catholics of the late nineteenth century and beyond."

@FSSPXFR So if I obey the current Pope I won’t get the true faith.

At the risk of pettiness, I've tired of seeing "Thomists" on the internet who only know of Gilson, Maritain, G-L

Unless your IQ is 170+, a serious study of St. Thomas's metaphysics cannot be made w/o studying at least 2 of the medieval and 2 of the modern indispensable commentators:

✅Domingo Banez
✅Cornelio Fabro
✅John of St. Thomas
✅John Capreolus
✅Cajetan

Modernly:
✅Lawrence Dewan
✅Joseph Owens
✅Msgr. Wippel
✅Tommaso Zigliara
✅Steven Long

For intelligent folks wanting to take the next step in this most difficult subject, I recommend Msgr. Wippel's "The Metaphysical Thought of Thomas Aquinas" (and for Medieval commentators, Banez is #1 in metaphysical clarity imo, notwithstanding that all will tell yoi to read Caj first)

@CarlPendleton6 Actually a Sedevecantist is not Catholic.

Sins confessed to sedevacantist priests cannot be absolved.

The priest may have been validly ordained, but they have not been granted faculty to absolve sin by the ordinary Bishop of the diocese.

Granting absolution for sins is an act of jurisdiction in the ‘internal forum’. The legal nature of absolving sins requires a priest to have been granted the faculty to do so. Without the faculty, the priest cannot absolve. This faculty DOES NOT come with power of Holy Orders, as though it were some kind of package deal.

The only exception to this is in danger of death, where canon 976 supplies the faculty to any priest regardless of jurisdiction. Eastern Orthodox priests also fall under this canon.

Sadly, sedevacantist priests have an erroneous understanding of ‘supplied jurisdiction’, which they cite when confronted with the problem of explaining how exactly they believe they are able to absolve sins. Various theories have been developed to explain their understanding of supplied jurisdiction. None of their theories are supported by the ecclesiastical law of the Church.

The doctrine of supplied jurisdiction under canon 144 operates within the Church’s juridical structure . It exists to supply jurisdiction to a priest who BELONGS to the judicial structure of the Church, but whose faculties are defective or doubtful in a particular case.

It cannot be supplied to a priest who does not belong to the legal framework of the Church. Sedevacantist priests, just as Eastern Orthodox schismatics, exist outside the juridical structure of the Church altogether.

It makes no difference what theories Sede priests put forward to explain how they may be obtaining supplied jurisdiction. Objectively, it is not available to them, so long as they deny the ordinary power of jurisdiction belonging to the Supreme Pontiff and the episcopacy, and continue to exist outside the legal framework of the Church.

Additionally, sedevacantist priests also do not have the ability to impose the Brown Scapular. Enrolment in the Brown Scapular requires a Catholic priest to exercise his LEGAL faculty to impose the scapular. Only Catholic priests who have received the faculty through a Carmelite friar belonging to the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel of Pontifical right — or through their ordinary bishop — can exercise this right. (Note, several ‘Carmelite orders’ exist in sedevacantist groups who are not attached to the Order of Carmel of Pontifical right. These pseudo-Carmelites also do not have the faculties to impose the scapular).

Sedevacantist priests are not attached to the juridical structure of the Catholic Church, and so they have no legal ability to exercise the legal rights of the Church. If you are a sedevacantist, please do not assume that you are receiving the sacraments merely because they are being administered by a ‘traditional’ priest.
