Thanks to the prayers, support, great efforts, and generosity of the Faithful, we were able to acquire this church in Chiltern for our Faithful in Northern Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺. Our apostolate in Australia keeps growing. L.D.V.M. @FrDesposito@stephenheiner@ColleenEldrach1@RomanCathMedia@MHTSeminary
The greatest trick of the post-conciliar crisis is convincing Catholics they must choose between Modernist Rome and the SSPX. It is a false dilemma built on a deeply flawed ecclesiology.
The premise of this false choice assumes that to keep the Faith, you must compromise on the Papacy.
It is absolutely true that the Faith cannot be compromised, and that Modernism and Catholicism are fundamentally incompatible. But we cannot forget what else is incompatible with Catholicism: the idea that a Catholic can lawfully and habitually resist a real, reigning Pope in matters of doctrine and discipline.
The SSPX claims to recognize the Pope, yet they operate as if there were no Pope at all. This is practical sedevacantism masked by a distortion of Catholic teaching on authority and obedience.
We do not have to invent a new theology of the Church to survive the crisis. The only answer that preserves traditional Catholic ecclesiology intact is simply recognizing the formal vacancy of the See of Rome. It is time for the SSPX to stop being double-faced and simply make their practical sedevacantism explicit.

I couldn't help being overwhelmed with sadness at Mass today, thinking of the Precious Blood of Jesus and "the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood" (Acts 20, 28), and how an attempt is made to divide this Church and make a monster of her--by the SSPX who recognize a false religion as the true Church while destroying papal authority, and by those clergy such as RCI and IMBC who violently split the Church into a "visible" part without authority that teaches heresy and another part considering of "sacrament machines" with equally no authority. It is a sad state of things. When will clergy follow the teachings of the faith instead of their own opinions?
If the seminaries of the CMRI and IRC are filling up, then there are two other options...
St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Mt. Vernon, WA
under the direction of Fr. Carlos Ercoli, Rector.
&
The Seminary in Massachusetts run by the good Fathers of the Company of Jesus and Mary.
“Because of the defects presented above, one should not receive the sacraments in the new rites, but only in the traditional rites, which alone are worthy and certainly valid.
“Receiving the sacraments under a form that is even slightly doubtful is not allowed.”
Fr Matthias Gaudron SSPX, in 'A Catechism on the Crisis in the Church', p 209

“Where do you find this saintly hatred of heresy? In [the] Novus Ordo religion? No. None whatsoever. In [their] fake pope? No. Prevost is a big fan of heretics and heresy. Among the R&R? No. They excuse it while tearing down Catholic teaching on the papacy.”
- Fr. Gabriel Lavery
“The real conflict was not over failing to recognize John Paul II as pope - it was failing to recognize Ap. Lefebvre as pope.”
- Fr. Anthony Cekada on why he left the SSPX
Leo XIV’s new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, elevates Man and leaves God behind. This isn't Catholicism; it’s an anthropocentric NGO focused entirely on earthly happiness and temporal progress. By implicitly denying man's supernatural destiny, the Vatican II religion continues to prove that the Church is deprived of authority; the See of Peter is formally vacant.

The “state of necessity” declared by the SSPX implies that those who they recognize as Pope and Magisterium are leading souls to Hell.
This is an absurdity.
The only logical option to the crisis is the recognition of a current and prolonged state of “Sede Vacante.”
Fr. Noel Barbara (1910-2002) was one of the first clerics to take a public stance against Vatican II, and concluded that the post-Vatican II popes could not have been true popes.
One cannot speak of the “early days of sedevacantism” without mentioning Fr. Noel Barbara.
Sedevacantism is the only position that allows people to profess the Catholic religion without stain. It is consistent, principled, and is the only position one may profess without defiling the Faith in one way or another.
