Pope Pius IX vs. Patriarch Audu: Full Text of Encyclical ‘Quae in Patriarchatu’ in Exclusive English Translation - https://t.co/H923MVgFVf This is the first time the encyclical has been made available online in English in its entirety. It is relevant to the SSPX consecrations.
Rarely do I feel moved to post entire reader emails, but today I'd like to share in its entirety an email that I received in response to my last post. What it reveals is a rotten fruit that bears witness to the tree that bore it. https://t.co/tKcIDLhpJn
"A preacher must be prepared in his soul to speak the truth, both in denouncing and correcting shortcomings and in praising virtue, to such a point that he is willing in that cause even to face death." - St. John of San Facundo
Why would one such "cardinal" need to convert according to the Thesis? According to the Thesis, he is already a member of the Catholic Church and in any case already has the power to elect. And how could one such "cardinal" have the ability to override the election of all the rest, since you believe they all have the power to elect? This makes no sense and disagreees with all theology. Not to mention, it is a debated point among theologians as to whether a single cardinal could validly elect a Pope.
This is the tangled web and typical fruit of the Thesis--ignoring tried and true theology while inventing new theology.
"The greater number of Christians today are damned. The destiny of those dying on one day is that very few - not as many as ten - went straight to Heaven; many remained in Purgatory; and those cast into Hell were as numerous as snowflakes in mid-winter." - Bl. Anna Maria Taigi
"What was the first thought that flashed through the Sacred Heart of Jesus? Naught else than an act of absolute submission to the holy will of God: "Lo, I come to do Thy will, O my God." Here is the foundation of all holiness, perfect conformity to the Divine will" - Fr. Clarke

“One day, as St Gertrude affectionately held and kissed her crucifix, Our Lord said to her…
“Each time that a man does so, or
Merely looks upon a crucifix with devotion , the mercy of God looks down upon his soul. He ought then to think in his heart that these tender words are addressed to him…” Behold how for thy love I have willed to be attached to a cross, naked, disfigured , covered with wounds , and with all my members violently distended . My Heart is so passionately enamored of thee that, were it necessary in order to save thee , I would again willingly endure , for thee alone , all that I have suffered for the salvation of the whole world.”
Every morning Saint Francis de Sales recommends meditating on this:
God had no need for you, yet He made you
He made you out of nothing
He did not need you, and you do not add to Him
Yet out of nothing, He made you solely out of Love.
Consider also the times you’ve betrayed God, but specifically how He brought you back when you repented…
Likewise, you betrayed God, but He brought you back
He had no need to bring you back, but He did.
Solely out of His immense love for you, and you in particular
Remember that God loves you.
While many people who are pious and good-willed support the SSPX because they believe them to be authentically Catholic, the cold reality is that if Leo XIV is Pope, then these four men who are about to become bishops against the prohibition of the 'Pope' are not holy, do not (and will not) have a flock, and the people they minister to are not faithful. That is what Catholic principle requires us to conclude IF we recognize the Novus Ordo hierarchy as legitimate. Catholicism isn't Burger King, where you can have it 'your way'.
Kennedy Hall treats what he believes to be the Apostolic See as if it were merely a human institution, with no divine assistance, able to fail and corrupt like any other human entity. And somehow the SSPX has stepped in where the Holy See has failed, eh?
"If you knew how quickly people would forget about you after your death, you will not seek in your life to please anyone but God."
— St John Chrysostom
One time, Saint Anthony, one of the greatest ascetics to ever live, asked God if there was anyone on earth who loved Him more. God said there was. And it was a simple shoemaker who lived in the city.
Saint Anthony was amazed someone in society could reach such spiritual heights. Saint Anthony had to meet this man. So, he left the desert and looked for him. Then, when he finally found him, he asked what he was doing that was so special.
The simple shoemaker said he wasn’t doing anything special at all. He said he just prayed all day as he watched the pagans walk by. He prayed they would all be saved and that only he would go to Hell on their behalf.
