Catholic convert: Attend SSPX. Bible A-2-Z. Denzinger = Christianity's history. I love Protestants, not the errors of their diverse religions. In Cruce Spero.
My son just informed me all his kids; 5 years, 2 1/2 years and 1 mo old all have RSV.
Please pray for them.

A few months ago Cardinal Mueller said: "To bless homosexual couples is blasphemy.”
Francis just authorized Priests to bless homosexual couples.
Ergo....
Francis just authorized Priests to blaspheme.
What am I missing?
Catholic Twitter: Got the news that one of my grandsons has a stomach condition needing immediate surgery slated for tonite or tomorrow morning. Another got hurt and is getting stitches (different families).
Please pray for these two rascals. Gems, both of them.
This is maybe the best summary of the situation today I've read from a Bishop. Evidently some know what's up.
Last year I prayed thru the list of all living Bishops, ~5000+. Sounded out as best I could each name before God. Let's keep praying for them.

I'm from a long line of Protestant ministers and pastors and Protestant theological seminary trained myself. attended all the major Protestant branches & a devotee of reading the Bible cover-to-cover/over-and-over and it was my road map to the Catholic faith.
At what point will Cardinal Müller (and Cardinal Burke?) admit that Archbishop Lefebvre was right and that the Bishops should have supported him from the beginning & had they, that this total degradation of the Church may have been averted?
@Bishopoftyler
Thank you Bishop Strickland.
We are truly now in the land of

Father Frank Pavone "blasphemy"?
Um...somebody will have to make a pretty clear case for that before I believe it.
Last night Card. Sarah...told us...
… the Church is not in crisis, the Church’s pastors are in crisis.
Card. Sarah has made a distinction...He teaches well who makes distinctions.
I've often failed to make that distinction.
Definition of madness:
Asserting that the Catholic Church at immense expense established monasteries all over Europe populated by men who dedicated their lives to painstakingly hand copying & preserving documents (Bible) that disproved the religion of the Catholic Church.

As for "gender theory", let us not forget Pope John Paul II and the other post-Conciliar Popes granting the gross permission for girls dressed as boys to do boy's work at the altar which is nothing but transvestism in the sanctuary of God.
The Conciliar Church leading the way.

RE: malaria;
1) he wasn't there that long
2) malaria is a well-known disease w/ known prophylaxis & treatment. Who "dies suddenly" of malaria?
I was very concerned about his wanderings & I warned him! Was he a victim of a homicide?
Well...
Moving the ram to the ewes tomorrow.
He was blessed by our wonderful SSPX priest last year and he did well. By God's grace he'll do good work this year, too.
Last year:
Twitter being twitter, it is a place of mistakes. We've all made some.
This shows the integrity and decency of this man to acknowledge his and to rectify it.
Very noble of him to make this clarification.
A correction…as Bishop Schneider has stated, the SSPX is not in schism. The SSPX continues to hold Tradition out for the Universal Church. The Eucharist of the SSPX is held as valid by the Catholic Church. We must turn to Jesus’ Eucharistic face.
Surgery yesterday. Success praise God! Spent ~2 hrs explaining the Catholic faith to an inquiring nurse!
Not even a sore throat from intubation tho after, I stopped by work & the winding roads & post-op nausea beat me & I puked in the parking lot in front of my employees! 🤢🤮🤣

Look, take it, but realize you'll blow all of this great tweet advice right out the window.
Stay faithful. Keep trying. Don't quit. It's worth it.

I have to admit that tho valued responsibilities prevent my achievement of this goal, I cannot by my temperament think of a single job on earth that would be match it more perfectly.

We can thank Francis for allowing the heretics freedom to make themselves public. The lines are drawn now. There is no reconciling these heretical and morally debased beliefs with the Catholic faith.

Masters in Theology from a Protestant seminary, father a Protestant minister, read the Bible cover-to-cover/over-&-over. Bible led me to the Catholic faith. Converted at 49 w/ my (ex-Baptist) wife, all my kids (adults) converted, too.
Bible = Roadmap to the Catholic Church.
Been a hard week.
This afternoon God sent us a message of comfort.
Perverted flags be damned. This is the real deal.

Today we were blessed with having Bishop Bernard Fellay pray the Holy Mass and preach. He was in town for the confirmations. (120 new confirmations! Praise God!). His sermon was drawn from today's readings and interwove the challenges we face in the world and in the Church

Why not?
If you are going to promote invasion and occupation of your nation by enemies of your nation, it only seems logical and natural to promote invasion and occupation of your churches by enemies of your Church.

Classic.
I brought up the Early Church Fathers in a discussion abt doctrine w/ a Protestant relative. His response was:
"I don't care about the 'Early Church Fathers'! I care about JESUS!"
There's a PhD dissertation buried in that confusion. Masters thesis at least...
@father_rmv
No. This IS a go-ahead.
Parsed details may be of value in the future during a restoration of Church but for now the media is not reporting lies, they are reporting a logical conclusion which merely reflects what we've already seen being done in Germany w/ no discipline applied.
Marxists enshrine covetousness, bitterness, jealousy and endless victimhood in the cultures they take over. They cannot exist in an environment of forgiveness, mutual respect and buried axes.
Marxism is the destroyer of all that is good.

if he could show me historical documentation from the Church validating his experience he says he's had speaking in tongues since the 1970's.

We strive, yet we are happy.

This week the news has been full of Church scandal.
But I am just back from Mass & catechism class & I'm here to report that as usual, it was a wonderful time of worship of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and sound catechesis.
Thank you SSPX. (As usual).

Forget about "heretic" for a moment.
At this point can anyone give a solid reason why the majority of Bishops do not declare Francis a rank bounder and warn women, little children, valued pets and the otherwise vulnerable to steer entirely clear of him and his foul opinions?
On the day Rupnik is returned to ministry, Pope Francis decries "the scandal of young priests trying on cassocks and hats or albs..." Need to know anything more about the Pope's priorities-- what he considers scandalous?
@TobyLogsdon
Ah, figued out that the Christian faith had been wrong for 1500 years & an individual could pick up the Bible, decide some books were unreliable, personally interpret the rest & condemn everyone else. Same as Joseph Smith 300 years later & Simon Kimbangu 100 after that, et al.
Archbishop Lefebvre never complained about "Latin" being a problem in the evangelization of Africa.
This wonderful, precious old woman simply reinforces that fact.
May God bless her richly and eternally.
The Bible as the Authority?
When did this happen?
382?
1517?
1611?
If your Church can’t credibly claim Apostolic Lineage to 33 A.D. you don’t have a Church.
You have a 501(c)(3).
As for Sola Scriptura . . .
(1) The Bible itself skewers this interpretation:

Folks, don't be duped. He's not lying. He means it.
This is Synodalism: Each Bishop "discerns", ie. decides on what doctrine will be taught in his diocese. Different Bishops, different doctrines.
Catholicism searches for, finds and calls all to hold the Truth in unity.
Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, commenting on the reluctance expressed by individual bishops and bishops’ conferences regarding the declaration Fiducia Supplicans, stated that “it’s proper for each local bishop to make that discernment.”
You are not.
Short 🧵
Some affirm orthodoxy but cannot accept reality ("Conservatives"). They deny heresy exists in post-V2 docs but admit theological ambiguity exists.
This is no defense.
The Church condemned that right along w/ heresy.

Am I the only one who remembers Amoris Laetitia? Am I the only one who remembers how vague the document is, and then how that ambiguity was exploited to later formally endorse sin?

The path to schism approaches.
After Francis...If an even moderately orthodox Pope draws an unacceptable line & if the Germans can finagle a retention of their beloved Kirchensteuer, watch them lead an exodus in the name of the Bergoglian "Synodal Church". Many will follow.

Some of your posts indicate the need for clarification.

2) Have you ever engaged in sexual activity with a minor child?
2) Do you consider sexual activity between adults and children to be acceptable under any circumstances?

Biden supporter John Cougar Mellencamp throws a tantrum and storms off stage after he learns his audience doesn’t want to be politically lectured and would rather get what they paid for.
Somebody needs to do some research (it's not in Denzinger, I already checked) and see if there is a tradition we could see reinstated of removing a member of the curia simply due to his being a complete and total embarrassment to the Church and especially to manhood generally.
JUST IN: Amid backlash from Cardinals & Bishops around the world, DDF Prefect Cardinal Víctor Fernández issues clarification of Fiducia supplicans, claiming “What is expressed by these Episcopal Conferences cannot be interpreted as doctrinal opposition”:

You can't go back to nations to which you have had no ties for 300 years. Nor I, ditto. However, as for leaving, do not lose touch w/ your forefathers who did just that when their own ancient homelands became untenable for them. Then remember the 1st Groot Trek.

For a priest who is confused about male and female and what goes where, I'm not surprised you need some guidance on this.
Pope Benedict laid it out pretty clearly. Not abrogated. No permission needed.
