CMTV and the Thomas More / SSPX Victory

JMJ

I was wondering if CMTV would have the honesty to post an article about the latest victory.

So ... I tried looking at the cache first ... but that didn't work so I clicked on the link and guess what... this is what I found:

So I went and searched on their site using their google interface and here's the correct link.

I scanned the article and found that this is the mention of the plaintiffs and I noticed that CMTV, instead of linking the highlighted words to the SSPX website, they linked it to one of their spotlight article "sympathetic to perverts".

The plaintiffs included two priests of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) — Steven Soos and Nicholas Stamos — and three Orthodox Jewish congregants — Elchanan Perr, Daniel Schonborn, and Mayer Mayerfeld.

Well, I guess it is safe to say that it is pathetic that CMTV is not even able to acknowledge that the SSPX does some good.

For reference here's the SSPX perspective. More can be found here at The Remnant.

In a victory for the rights of the Catholic Church, a United States federal court issued a preliminary injunction against the state of New York and the city of New York regarding their orders limiting participation at religious services.

Spearheaded in part by Frs. Steven Soos and Nicholas Stamos, both clerics of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), their case brought in the Northern District of New York requested the federal court to block restrictions on public religious services.

After considering the filings brought by both the plaintiffs and those representing the defendants, including New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Judge Gary L. Sharpe ordered that they could not limit public worship.

As a work of the Catholic Church, the SSPX is dedicated to libertas ecclesiae (“freedom for the Church”). While respecting the lawful determinations of public authorities, the Society continues to uphold the highest law of the Church, which is the Salvation of souls.

A Look Back: A short history of the SSPX

+ JMJ I started a timeline a while back but never finished it. Fortunately, here's one that brings us up to 1994!!! P^3 http://archives.sspx.org/SSPX_FAQs/a_short_history_of_the_sspx-part-1.htm A short history of the SSPX A presentation given by Fr. Ramon Angles in Kansas City, MO, on the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the SSPX and reprinted from the January 1996 issue of The Angelus . Part 1 The history of the Society of St. Pius X begins, of course, in the mind of God. But do not believe that its temporal origin is to be found solely at the time of the post-conciliar crisis. The Society of St. Pius X was made possible ...

Hermeneutic of the Hermeneutic of Continuity - sspx.org

+ JMJ Since I'm looking at the 'four things', I thought this article would be good. Unfortunately, with the new SSPX.org website, I've been unable to locate the original article. This is a copy the I emailed to myself. This is an article that, I believe, was written in response to a conference given by Msgr. Pozzo. P^3

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making. It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX. The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience. The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members. It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

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

Dogmas of the Catholic Faith (de fide) - Expanded Listing: Answer for Reader

+ JMJ A reader asked the following question in the 2015 version of the article on the Dogmas of the Catholic Faith (link) : 117: "In the state of fallen nature it is morally impossible for man without Supernatural Revelation, to know easily, with absolute certainty and without admixture of error, all religious and moral truths of the natural order." Where can you find this in the documents of the Church? ( Link to comment ) Here's the reference from Ott: The citation that Ott provided was Denzinger 1786 and the source document is Dogmatic Consitution Concerning the Faith from the First Vatican Council (Papal Encyclicals - link) : Chapter 2 On Revelation, Article 3: It is indeed thanks to this divine revelation , that those matters concerning God, which are not of themselves beyond the scope of human reason, can, even in the present state of the human race, be known by everyone, without difficulty, with firm certitude and with no intermingling of error. Here's ...
