My first episode has dropped, so I decided to cover three separate topics. Catholic mysticism, Sacrilege, and Protestant Infiltration of the Catholic Church. #Catholic https://t.co/qAyOEHw1k4
@theblessedsalt I’m speculating here, but your Grandmother was teaching the same thing as St Francis de Sales. I go to confession weekly prior to Mass because it’s necessary if you have committed mortal sin, and recommended even for venial sin. It prevents sacrilege and is a Sacrament of Penance
@NyinaWaJambo81 It’s sacrilege to false accuse the Pope or Holy Orders of being homosexual. You need to add sacrilege to your confession list before taking the Eucharist. FYI

Re: Denuntiatio Alleging the Promotion of Antinomianism by Fr. James Martin, S.J.
Your Reverence and Your Eminence,
I am writing this request with love and respect. My name is Patrick Cassady, and I am a newly confirmed convert to the Catholic faith as of several months ago. I received my BA in Religious Studies from IUPUI, and it was the Church Fathers and the Saints who helped lead me to the faith. Although I am a new convert, I am well educated in Catholic history, theology, and the basics of Canon Law. I received a second BA in Pre-Law from UC Denver.
I respectfully submit this denuntiatio to both the Superior General of the Society of Jesus and the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. This communication is being sent simultaneously to both authorities due to concerns regarding the possible promotion of antinomian doctrine in a public presentation by Fr. James Martin, S.J.
As one of Christ's penitent faithful, I submit this complaint pursuant to Canon 212 §3 of the Code of Canon Law, which recognizes the right and, at times, the duty of the faithful to manifest to their sacred pastors their concerns regarding matters affecting the good of the Church. I also respectfully submit this information so that the competent authority may determine whether further inquiry is warranted in accordance with Canon 1717 §1.
The matter concerns statements made during an episode of "The Spiritual Life with Fr. James Martin" entitled "Yunuen Trujillo's Ministry to Migrants and LGBTQ Catholics". This episode can be found on the YouTube channel “America – The Jesuit Review” at this link below, or can be found by typing “Fr. Martin Yunuen Trujillo” in the YouTube search function:
During approximately the 34:00–38:00 minute portion of the episode, Ms. Yunuen Trujillo states that she came to believe she was in a state of grace while engaged in a same-sex sexual relationship and further states that she believes it is her Catholic vocation not to abstain from sexual relations within that relationship.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that homosexual acts are "intrinsically disordered" and that "under no circumstances can they be approved" (CCC 2357). Because Ms. Trujillo appears to affirm both the objective morality of same-sex sexual activity and the belief that God positively wills her continuation in such conduct, I believe her statements constitute or closely resemble antinomian doctrine by treating conduct condemned by the moral law as compatible with God's will and with a life of grace.
My concern is not limited to Ms. Trujillo's statements. Fr. James Martin responds positively to her testimony and, as I understood the discussion, characterized her ministry and teaching as a good thing. Because her ministry includes publicly promoting the belief that a Catholic may be called by God to engage in same-sex sexual relations, I am concerned that Fr. Martin's approval may reasonably be understood as approval of the underlying doctrinal claims themselves.
For this reason, I respectfully allege that Fr. Martin's statements may constitute the promotion, encouragement, or endorsement of antinomian doctrine. While I recognize that antinomianism has appeared in various forms throughout Christian history, its common element is the denial that Christians remain bound by God's moral law in a manner consistent with Catholic teaching.
The Church has repeatedly condemned such views. The Council of Trent, Session VI, Canon XVIII, declares: "If anyone says that the commandments of God are, even for one that is justified and constituted in grace, impossible to observe, let him be anathema." Canon XIX condemns the proposition that nothing besides faith is commanded in the Gospel or that the Ten Commandments do not pertain to Christians. Canon XX condemns the proposition that a justified person is not bound to observe the commandments of God and the Church, but only to believe.
These condemnations demonstrate the Church's rejection of doctrines that separate the Christian life from obedience to God's moral law. In my judgment, the statements at issue appear to conflict with this teaching and therefore warrant examination by the competent authority.
I recognize that determining whether the statements in question constitute heresy, doctrinal error, scandal, or another canonical offense belongs solely to the competent ecclesiastical authority. Accordingly, I respectfully request that the competent authority investigate these statements and determine:
Whether the propositions advanced by Ms. Trujillo are compatible with Catholic doctrine concerning grace, mortal sin, repentance, chastity, and obedience to the moral law;
Whether Fr. Martin's comments constitute approval or endorsement of antinomian doctrine;
Whether clarification, correction, or disciplinary action is necessary to safeguard the faithful from doctrinal confusion.
I submit this denuntiatio out of concern for the integrity of Catholic doctrine, the salvation of souls, and fidelity to the moral teachings of the Church.
If it is possible to acknowledge this request, or if you have any additional questions, you can reach me at the address below or the email below. Although I know it’s not required under Canon Law, I would appreciate it if you would let me know if any actions are taken as well.
Respectfully submitted
@MidnightPhilosX With the concept of Holy Space comes the concept of Sacrilege. What you claim is fear by Traditional Catholics is actually just healthy attrition. You cant eat the Eucharist unworthily. It becomes sin if the fear becomes despair, but to Love Jesus means to have fear when you sin.

Behold the new Catholic acolytes for the Ugandan @Lubagacathedral.
Let us pray for these young men as they serve the sacrificial altar of Our Lord Jesus Christ and discern vocations to the Catholic priesthood. 🙏🏻
One thing they don’t teach philosophers in school is “sacred space”. The Mass and Eucharist are Holy, not taken unworthily. Western civilization separates itself from barbarians due to Holiness impacting society. Attrition is a good thing, lawlessness is barbarism.
In case anyone wanted evidence of SSPX teaching heresy against the indefectibility of the Church, in this article below they claim it is a sin to attend Novus Ordo Mass. https://t.co/mMH4SqIAQl
@BeholdThyMother@cathconclave And here is a breakdown of the heresy against indefectability which is posted on SSPX website as their official teaching. I’m not committing Calumny when I’m just posting what they teach on their official website. Any claim that attending NO mass is a sin is a heresy.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today. https://t.co/jIio4BBg9v
