CMTV - Fr. Urrutigoity ... another uni-dimensional story from Ms. De-Niles

JMJ

The Nile(s) in Uganda

It is no surprise that CMTV would dredge up Fr. Urrutigoity and ascribe malfeasance.

The title says it all "SSPX Bishops Ordained Known Gay Predator". They go on to say that he was protected and promoted by 'no fewer than three SSPX bishops' and that the whistle blower was expelled from the SSPX. Plus they quote Dr. Bond (Jeffrey not Jame) that he evaded justice by enlisting episcopal support.

Not quote true.

I met Fr.Urrutigoity and knew one of the seminarian's that accompanied him when he departed the SSPX.

First, we have Fr. Morello, who sought to expel the then seminarian Urrutigoity. However, as usual, the situation was not as simple as Ms. Niles implies.

Fr. Morello did not leave the SSPX on good terms and it was not because of his intervention that he was expelled from the SSPX. That is a longer process and would have been started months in advance, unless he did something really bad to cause a more severe process.

My understanding is that based on the strength of then seminarian Urrutigoity's abilities, there was a suspicion that there were other motivations behind attempts to get Urruoigoity expelled from the seminary. As noted, he did deny the charges etc.

Then Ms.Niles relies on a "Tradition In Action" article, confirmation bias at its best. I wonder if they ever looked for something that undermines their "story". Just because someone claims the "[It's] indisputable" ... doesn't make it indisputable.

From my knowledge (I had brothers in the US seminary in the early 80's) the SSPX seminaries were not as described by the TIA author.

There, it is now disputed.

I also dispute Ms. Niles' basic assertion that the SSPX is "sympathetic to perverts". I suspect that this series of "articles" is the result of their being thrashed over last year's shoddy fishing expedition with Fr. Lucas. The same shoddy work as been carried over to this series.

No one died and made CMTV God

Their sensationalist approach accomplishes nothing except to re-traumatize people who were abused and disturb peoples peace of soul.

Really, this is because CMTV thinks that they are better Catholics than the SSPX faithful.

I'm happy that the SSPX has stopped responding to CMTV, because they don't owe CMTV anything at all.

When I have a chance I will put together the principles (Catholic ones) that we need to use to assess CMTV's value in this situation.

Communiqué on the Meeting between Cardinal Ladaria and Fr. Pagliarani

+ JMJ I suspect that the 'resistance' will be freaking out about this ... but as with the Archbishop, when Rome calls ... they go ... even if just to let them know (again) why they do what they do. Concerning the alleged 'sell-out' I have this to say: I should update the meme ... with 2017, 18 etc. The 'resistors' should stop and think a little: We are in the 18th year of the latest sell-out frenzy. So we're still waiting. Try and reconcile the 'resistance' positions with the Catholic Faith. If it doesn't objectively sync up - admit that you're wrong and take appropriate action.

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

+ JMJ An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'. Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like. No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included. I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith. While...

Unhinged Catholics ... are they on the right path? How would you know? (Updated 2x with Response to Comments)

+ JMJ (Originally Published Sept 7, 2019, Updated July 30, 2022, Updated August 13, 2022) Based on Pope Francis' latest selections for Cardinals, the Church appears to be in deep winter. Just to be clear, I don't mean a Florida winter, I mean a Canadian winter. In the last 35+ years as a Trad, I've seen my fair share of Catholics suffering from, and dying of, mental and spiritual hypothermia. When a Catholic pours themselves into the 'fight', neglects their spiritual life, doesn't deepen their understanding of the Catholic Faith, then there is a good chance that they will become embittered, frustrated, and angry. With their narrowed perspectives they risk being blindsided and smacked in the head with a metaphorical 2x4. Just look at the headlines on canon212 for some examples. Here's some others: "Diabolically Disoriented" Michael Matt Reveals His True Colors as a Pied Piper Leading "Traditionalists" (i.e., real Cat...

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ 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

If Hell is Empty - Why does everyone seem to think that the SSPX is damned?

+ JMJ I have read that there are members of the Hierarchy who believe that Hell exists ... but it is empty and that the Church ecumenism encompasses all. Others simple deny the existence of human. Now with the Roman response to the SSPX July 1, 2026 Episcopal consecrations it appears that some do believe in Hell and don't believe that the Catholic Church ecumenism includes the SSPX. It would appear that the only people who are: Condemned to Hell as the SSPX and the faithful Catholics who seek the Unambiguous Sacraments from their priests and bishops. Excluded from the Catholic Church are likewise the SSPX. This is a little tongue in cheek (link) but it is really something that needs to be considered. P^3
