Imagine if everyone decided they could subjectively decide they had the authority to decide what is good, what is evil, what is true, what is false, what is right, what is wrong? From what authority have the SSPX been given the authority they claim to have?
@NMantis7@TaylorRMarshall 1) The Vatican doesn't do "evil"
2) Leaving the Church because of scandals is a terrible choice, like leaving Jesus because of Judas.
Pope Paul VI (General Audience of January 15, 1975): «Our ideal and vital Christian renewal cannot dispense with a rediscovery of our insertion into the mystical and social body of Christ, which is precisely the Catholic Church [ch’è appunto la Chiesa cattolica]».
Catholics, do you believe this:
“The jurisdictional power of the Roman Pontiff is both episcopal and immediate. Both clergy and faithful, of whatever rite and dignity, both singly and collectively, are bound to submit to this power by the duty of hierarchical subordination and true obedience, and this not only in matters concerning faith and morals, but also in those which regard the discipline and government of the Church throughout the world.”
I do. 🙏🏻
@NMantis7@TaylorRMarshall The things you named have nothing to do with the validity of the sacraments plus you seem to imply that salvation is de facto impossible attending Novus Ordo.
Every schismatic in history didn't intend to separate himself from the church. He just redefined what it meant to be a member, in opposition to how the competent authority defined it.
@beil_cathy@theoseihle@EricRSammons You need the living magisterium to interpretate Traditon. "Who decides with certitude? Two thousand years of Popes, Councils, Saints, and Doctors of the Church have already decided". What do they say about the Novus Ordo Mass? or about St. Joseph in the Canon?
@beil_cathy@theoseihle@EricRSammons The fact that something is not infallible doesn't mean you can discard it or act as you wish. Again, who decides with ceritude and for all the Church that something "hinder the transmission of the Faith"? The single faithful, according to his own conscience?
@TaylorRMarshall@TaylorRMarshall Is Fr Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSPX) a Sedevacantist?

⬆️ Is a statement from a former SSPX priest (I am unsure if he is with the FSSP now); I believe this is a Fr. Aaron Jackson
It’s impossible to read this, and not conclude that Leo XIV is a good man.
It’s up to him and God if he’ll be a great and holy pope.
But he’s a good man, and those trying to portray him as some kind of evildoer or monster sound absolutely insane to the average devout Catholic.
@TrCGroyper@OmarTrejoJara No. It merely reveals the chaos that has been released by creating uncanonical bishops without the approval of the Roman Pontiff.
Thirteen years ago, it was widely assumed that no future pope would dare return to the Apostolic Palace or Castel Gandolfo. Now that it has happened, some welcome it, others are indifferent—but scarcely a word of protest has been heard.
