@jpb_757@o_hilles@TridentineBrew … just look at bishop Wenski who did the ordinations for FSSP or Archbishop Schneider. It just seems as though SSPX wants to operate independently which is fundamentally not Catholic.
@jpb_757@o_hilles@TridentineBrew Additionally I would add that the idea that the SSPX require their own bishops to ordain their priests in today’s day is not true. There are plenty of validly ordained bishops that are willing to ordain in the old right…
@RobertErcoli@thattradgal Despite repeated requests, Pope Leo has declined to meet with SSPX leaders. The Society nevertheless says it will proceed with the consecrations despite the Vatican’s objections.
@RobertErcoli@thattradgal The SSPX plans to consecrate four bishops as its current bishops age. The Vatican denied its request for approval. The SSPX says a state of necessity justifies the consecrations, while critics argue that consecrating bishops without a papal mandate is a schismatic act.
https://t.co/V2nNsUJ7xA this is a heartbreaking story. 31 year-old father and husband lost his life. Wife was a stay at home, mom. If you guys can in your charity, please give a little.
I do remember the sermon, but we Catholics attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to adore the Holy Trinity in union with the death and resurrection of Christ. We may also receive Holy Communion.
For Catholics, Sunday is so much more than "That was a great sermon!" It's entering into the true sacrifice of Jesus Christ for us.
It's less "preacher-centered," since our pulpits are off to the side, and the altar is in the center.

Veritatis Splendor No. 78
78. The morality of the human act depends primarily and fundamentally on the "object" rationally chosen by the deliberate will, as is borne out by the insightful analysis, still valid today, made by Saint Thomas.126 In order to be able to grasp the object of an act which specifies that act morally, it is therefore necessary to place oneself in the perspective of the acting person. The object of the act of willing is in fact a freely chosen kind of behaviour. To the extent that it is in conformity with the order of reason, it is the cause of the goodness of the will; it perfects us morally, and disposes us to recognize our ultimate end in the perfect good, primordial love. By the object of a given moral act, then, one cannot mean a process or an event of the merely physical order, to be assessed on the basis of its ability to bring about a given state of affairs in the outside world. Rather, that object is the proximate end of a deliberate decision which determines the act of willing on the part of the acting person. Consequently, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, "there are certain specific kinds of behaviour that are always wrong to choose, because choosing them involves a disorder of the will, that is, a moral evil".127 And Saint Thomas observes that "it often happens that man acts with a good intention, but without spiritual gain, because he lacks a good will. Let us say that someone robs in order to feed the poor: in this case, even though the intention is good, the uprightness of the will is lacking. Consequently, no evil done with a good intention can be excused. 'There are those who say: And why not do evil that good may come? Their condemnation is just' (Rom3:8)".128
The reason why a good intention is not itself sufficient, but a correct choice of actions is also needed, is that the human act depends on its object, whether that object is capable or not of being ordered to God, to the One who "alone is good", and thus brings about the perfection of the person. An act is therefore good if its object is in conformity with the good of the person with respect for the goods morally relevant for him. Christian ethics, which pays particular attention to the moral object, does not refuse to consider the inner "teleology" of acting, inasmuch as it is directed to promoting the true good of the person; but it recognizes that it is really pursued only when the essential elements of human nature are respected. The human act, good according to its object, is also capable of being ordered to its ultimate end. That same act then attains its ultimate and decisive perfection when the will actually does order it to God through charity. As the Patron of moral theologians and confessors teaches: "It is not enough to do good works; they need to be done well. For our works to be good and perfect, they must be done for the sole purpose of pleasing God".129
I've mentioned a number of men who I think would make a good next pope—Sarah, Pizzaballa, Ranjith, Erdő—but there's really one man who stands head and shoulders above the rest.
@cathol27727@jdbagley64@praytherosary I agree, I am now 21 and have been praying much more in Latin this last year. It helps me to focus, it helps me to be more invested in prayer. It’s also been instrumental in helping me break bad vices and deepen my relationship with God. The power of language is no joke.
@jdbagley64@praytherosary You should look into Fr. Ripperger, a famous exorcist. He has some talks about the power of language and why Latin is more powerful than vernacular as prayers. The most critical thing is intent, so if you have a good intent with an English rosary, that is still most important.
@johangroyper @RussNRoses It’s crazy how many Catholics believe the heresy that there is salvation outside of the church. Only through grace obtained from the one true Catholic Church can we be saved. It is our duty to evangelize and bring as many to the church as we can, not encourage their false beliefs
