Filial Correction - Response Please!

JMJ

Updated: I just noticed a Tweet from Dr. Shaw. The Vatican has blocked access to correctio filias website.  I guess the Pope is aware of it and isn't very pleased.

I suspect that the Pope won't respond to the filial correction.  However, his supporters will.

I just noticed the first 'response' from the National unCatholic Reporter.

While I leave you to read it for yourself I found the following interesting:


  1. The labels of Schismatics, extremists, liars, hypocrites etc are trotted out for all to see.  Not totally surprising given that I suspect (along with others) that they will be unable to respond intellectually to the correction.  As such they will have recourse to a Liberals favorite tool: venomous words.
  2. Nothing on the substance of the correction.  I think that no response indicates the inability to respond.
Here's some tidbits:

Stephen Walford, a British Catholic author who has written several books on the papacy and the theology of the church, said the accusation of heresy "is based around claims the Holy Father has never made -- lies essentially -- and a massive dose of hypocrisy."
I guess he didn't read the correction ... oh well.



And then we have this bit:
"The signatories also attack Pope Francis for his attitude to Martin Luther, and yet, their own judging of what is acceptable for a pope to teach is nothing short of Protestantism; it’s a DIY (do-it-yourself) Catholicism," said Walford, who is currently at work on a book about Amoris Laetitia and recently met with Francis at the Vatican. 
So the Theologians cite the magisterium clearly indicating the truth.  I guess they are the kings of 'making stuff up'.  Well, that is what modernism amount to anyway.

Finally, we have this bit:
"Anyone who spends just a short time on social media will be aware of the vitriol and judgmentalism aimed at those who are loyal to Pope Francis: Anger, arrogance, pride, ridicule and unkindness," Walford continued. "These are the fruits of the evil one, and they will never bring forth a restoration of a golden age that never existed."
This is a deflection from the point. This is not some social media campaign aimed at a Liberal Pope. This is Catholic Theologians doing their duty.

It is about time.

Perhaps it would be useful if we sent a copy to our bishops and asked them to make a decision on the Faith.  After all, using the Jesuit analogy, there are only two standards.

We could also post a list of those who refused to sign, this way we'll make certain we know who's on what side.

What side are you on?

Sedevacantism and Heresy

By
+ JMJ I've observed three core reactions during this crisis of the Catholic Church. The Pope can't be wrong, therefore this is the New Springtime The Pope is infallible in certain conditions and there is a problem with many things that have been said, done and written, during and after the Second Vatican Council (even in the Council doc). The Pope can't be wrong, this stuff is wrong, therefore he isn't Pope. Of course there are a spectrum of responses in between, but these are the key elements. The 1st group holds the words of the Pope et al as impeccable. Here, let me get you a Koran to kiss... The 3rd group holds that they've all been heretics and lost their office.  There is also a spectrum within this group.   One answer is that they are very poor judges of heresy.  The link below provides some reasoned thought that, I'm happy to say, is completely consistent with Church Teaching.

What does it mean "I'm a Traditional Catholic"?

By
+ JMJ I was visiting with a friend the other day when he said: "I'm a traditionalist". This surprised me because, while I could imagine him saying he was a "conservative or faithful Catholic", I didn't really think that the "traditionalist" label would stick. This got me to to thinking about what it means, or should mean when a person shakes you hand and says: "Hi, I'm a Traditional Catholic".

Rome and SSPX - Version 2026 Part 2

By
 + JMJ Part 2 Detailed Synopsis and Timeline (ChatGPT) At this point, I took the shortcut of uploading all of my previous links and the latest SSPX and Rome links to ChatGPT. This way we’ll see how ChatGPT interprets the world as presented on the internet. P^3 Briefing Memo Subject: Rome–SSPX Relations and Planned Episcopal Consecrations (July 1, 2026) Prepared for: Ecclesial / Academic / Media Briefing Date: February 2026 Issue Overview The Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has announced its intention to consecrate new bishops on July 1, 2026 , potentially without a papal mandate . The Holy See has acknowledged ongoing talks with the SSPX and stated its desire to avoid rupture, but has not granted approval nor outlined canonical consequences. The situation revives unresolved tensions dating to 1988 and raises questions about schism, authority, and doctrinal continuity. Background Founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the SSPX seeks to preserve pre-Vat...

Schism

By
There is some question as to whether the Pope can be in actual schism as per the Cardinal Torquemada: Citing the doctrine of Pope Innocent III, Torquemada further teaches:  "Thus it is that Pope Innocent III states [De Consuetudine] that, it is necessary to obey the Pope in all things as long as he, himself, does not go against the universal customs of the Church, but should he go against the universal customs of the Church, 'he need not be followed' . . . " [Cited from A Theological Vindication of Roman Catholic Traditionalism, Father Paul Kramer, B.Ph., S.T.D., M. Div. (2nd edition, St. Francis Press, India) p. 29. The full quotation from Cardinal Torquemada reads, "By disobedience, the Pope can separate himself from Christ despite the fact that he is head of the Church, for above all, the unity of the Church is dependent on its relationship with Christ. The Pope can separate himself from Christ either by disobeying the law of Christ, or by commanding som...
