Why shouldn't a Pope be able to resign / retire like Pope Emeritus Benedict? ...

This is why:


I am convinced that:

If Pope Benedict Emeritus had:

  1. faced down the wolves and made public the issues the we hear about (financial pressures etc),
  2. faced down the various heretics and liberal Catholics that are casting dirt upon Catholic Truth,
  3. not resigned and gave way to the likes of Pope Francis
Then he would have:
  1. Given the Church the strength to rediscover its true beliefs, values and assumptions (ie culture)
  2. Caused the shaking of the basket as 'separation' of the non-Catholic elements and those who hold them would have been accelerated.
  3. Died shortly thereafter.

Instead, he now wastes away as did Pope John Paul II.

Indeed the Catholic Church is of Divine origin, with men such as these for Her leaders any human organization would have vanished centuries ago.

Do not give up hope as in the failings of the Popes we see the way to emerge from this crisis.

Laity, and faithful Priests, Bishops and Cardinals: do your duty.  Challenge heretics and liberal Catholics, stand your ground. 

If they cast you out into the streets, then so-be-it.

At least you will have done your duty.

At least you will have kept your honour defending the honour of Our King Jesus Christ and the honour of the Catholic Church.

Is it sinful to attend the Novus Ordo (New Mass) - Is it Sinful to Not Attend the Novus Ordo on Sunday?

By
+ JMJ A non-SSPX Catholic is upset over the SSPX statements on not attending the Novus Ordo Missae. Ladies and gentlemen, what the SSPX, or at least its website editor, is advocating is a mortal sin against the Third Commandment.  Unless the priest deviates from the language of the Sacramentary, the consecration, and thus the rest of Mass is to be considered valid.  No one may elect not to attend Mass simply because abuses are occurring therein.  Might I suggest that such absenteeism is its own abuse?  The Third Commandment binds under mortal sin.  Father So-And-So from the SSPX has no authority whatsoever to excuse attendance at Mass, be that Mass ever so unpalatable. Source:Restore DC Catholicism Well, this is interesting. First why does the SSPX issue this statement? Because it is sinful to put your faith in danger by attending a protestant service.  It is likewise dangerous to put your faith in danger by attending a protestantized mass (ie the Novus Ordo Missae

Regarding Post: Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer no longer ... now Bishop Joseph Pfeiffer (Can't see this being a problem...)

By
 + JMJ   I've been watching the popularity of the post about Fr. Pfeiffer's attempted episcopal consecration and its continued top listing on the 'popular posts' list at the bottom of posts.  After some thought, I decided that I don't want to be responsible for anyone joining Fr. Pfeiffer's 'group', however unlikely that would be at this time. So I have reverted the article to the draft state. If anyone wants it reinstated, I would ask that they comment on this post with a rationale for reinstatement. P^3

By
+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

The Vatican and SSPX – An Organizational Culture Perspective

By
Introduction The recent and continuing interactions between the Vatican and the SSPX have been a great opportunity for prayer and reflection.  The basis for the disagreement is theological and not liturgical. As noted by Dr. Lamont (2012), the SSPX theological position on the four key controversial aspects of the Second Vatican Council are base on prior theological work that resulted from relevant magisterial pronouncements.  So it is difficult to understand the apparent rejection of the theological position of the SSPX.
