CMTV - Reaching Again

JMJ

So, the CMTV has just posted a headline: SSPX Priest Tweeting Scandal ... for their premium subscribers.

Here's the teaser screenshot that they posted:

I assume that CMTV in its desire for transparency will set aside financial considerations (subscribers) and post any real evidence (sarcasm). What is shown here is first not creepy and might not even be from Father Kopec.

Also ... late night?

Apparently some parents a complaining that he is texting teenage girls late at night. Ms. Niles ends stating that the "SSPX has not responded to queries".

Wow - are we supposed to be surprised?

Frankly, I have to ask a few questions that obviously CMTV won't ask or won't tell us about:

How do we know that these 'tweets' were from Fr. Kopec? Are they traceable to his cell phone?
What app as used and since the person had to identify themself - if would appear not.
How about more detail instead of just a sound bite.

Anyway, I would be surprised if he was so stupid as to:

Communicate in this manner if it would be inappropriate
Offer to have a smoke (dart) with a teenage girl.

So ... at this point ... move along people ... just another CMTV car wreck.

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

+ 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

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

War: Families

+ JMJ It is unavoidable that the conflict between the Church and the World will ... inspite of the Church basically surrendering to the World during and after the Second Vatican Council ... enter the family. First, it is unlikely that an entire family will be "Traditional Catholic". This will lead to conflict between the various "sides" of the family. Next there is the impact of the world around them. In other words, you can't keep your children out of the world indefinitely. There are so many pressures and stessors that work against keeping the Catholic Life that it seems that heroic virtue is needed in this day and age. A final aspect is related to the second. Their companions, especially if they are not Catholic. In some cases you may hope that your children will influence instead of be influenced. In this case you will have to intervene if they are underage and if adults, pray and act prudently. With all these forces stacked up against you, the best you

Magisterium and Levels of Assent

+ JMJ Understanding the levels of assent to be given to the teachings of the Church is a critical success factor in walking the knife's edge during this crisis of the Church. The levels of assent are generally associated with the theological grades of certainty, which are not surprisingly mirrored by the censures for contravening the teachings of the various levels.

Auctorem Fidei

Can the SSPX be right about the Novus Ordo? Revision: Feb 11, 2013 On another web forum, I was engaged in a rather heated discussion about the documents of Vatican II.
