You wrote, “Fr. Pagliarani is the one with jurisdiction.”
Which pope granted Fr. Pagliarani jurisdiction over SSPX bishops and priests? Also, how does Fr. Pagliarani have the jurisdiction to select four bishops and command two older bishops to consecrate them?
You wrote, “If the bishops pretended to be superior to the priests of the fraternity, they'd be claiming jurisdiction.”
Did you not just say that Fr. Pagliarani claims jurisdiction? Whether it's a priest or a bishop claiming jurisdiction without a papal grant, it creates a “parallel jurisdiction” that does not derive from the Roman See.
No Pope has granted any mission, jurisdiction, or apostolic mandate to Fr Pagliarani to do anything that he has done in the last week.
@FightForMary@ChristineNiles1@Rschampine42 The SSPX issue was never about the Latin Mass, but the ability to create new priests without having to rely upon diocesan bishops. There are other fraternal societies that splintered from the SSPX who still celebrate the Latin Mass, but lack bishops of their own.
Fr. Ian Andrew Palko, SSPX: "We don't need the mandate."
Pope Pius XII: "No one can lawfully confer episcopal consecration unless he has received the mandate of the Apostolic See."
Pope Benedict: "[T]he appointment of Bishops by the Pope is the guarantee of the unity of the Church and of hierarchical communion."
Pope St. John Paul II: "The particular circumstances, although grave, in no way justify a bishop assuming the office of ordaining bishops on his own initiative and without the pontifical mandate, for this is an act of schism."
Canon 1013: "No bishop is permitted to consecrate anyone a bishop unless it is first evident that there is a pontifical mandate."
Canon 1387: "Both the Bishop who, without a pontifical mandate, consecrates a person a Bishop, and the one who receives the consecration from him, incur a latae sententiae excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See."
Fr. Palko's words confirm that the SSPX will continue doing what it wishes, regardless of the authority or jurisdiction of the pope. Textbook schism.
So easy...
St. Ambrose: "Though schismatics kept the faith towards God, yet they kept it not towards the Church of God, certain of whose limbs they suffered as it were to be divided, and her members to be torn. For since Christ suffered for the Church, and the Church is the body of Christ, it does not seem that faith in Christ is shown by those by whom His Passion is made of none effect, and His body divided."
Who I'd like to see made Doctors of the Church:
1 Maximus the Confessor
2 Louis de Montfort
3 Maximilian Kolbe
4 Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)
You probably know St Maria Goretti as the herald of purity and virginity. Often misunderstood, this young saint is frequently held up as an example for young girls to live chaste and pure lives: “If Maria Goretti could hold off an attack on her purity at such a young and tender age, all young women should follow in her example and not be tempted by the desires of the flesh, but hold fast and strong to this example of purity.” She has become the epitome of defending your purity at all costs.
But was St Maria Goretti’s life simply an example of virginity and purity? Or was there something more to her life, something that transcended logic?

@RomanoSace57080@FatherNaugle I can’t prove it but I think the reason for this vague opposition to the Pope is because the papacy is the last institution in the west at least somewhat pushing against the war Iran war and Israeli expansionism. Is it so far fetched given Zionism presence in European far right?
