The freemasonic problem.

 

For people who still do not understand that these last "popes" who have been deceiving the world during and after the Second Vatican council,  obviously have deviated from the Faith long before they couped the Vatican and abolished the daily Sacrifice of the altar, I'd like to share a few quotes from Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) on Secret Societies:

Pope Leo XIII's Encyclical "Humanum genus," April 20th 1884:

Let no one think that for any reason whatsoever he is permitted to join the Masonic sect, if his

profession of Catholicism and his salvation is a worth as much to him as it aught to be. Let no pretended probity deceive one; for it can seem to some that the Freemasons demand nothing which is openly contrary to the sanctity of religion and morals, but since the entire reasoning and aim of the sect rest in viciousness and shame, it is not proper to permit association with them, or to assist them in any way.

 Pope Leo XIII, from the Instruction of the Holy Office, May 10th 1884:

Lest there be any place for error when decision will have to be made as to what the opinions of these pernicious sects are, which are under such prohibition, it is especially certain that Freemasonry and other sects of this kind which plot against the Church and lawful powers, whether they do it secretly or openly, whether or not they exact from their followers an oath to preserve secrecy, are condemned by AUTOMATIC EXCOMMUNICATION.

Besides these, there are also other sects which are prohibited and must be avoided under pain of

grave sin, among which are to be reckoned aspecially all those who bind their followers under oath to a secret to be divulged to no one, and exact absolute obedience to be offered to secret leaders. It is to be noted, furthermore, that there are some societies which, although it cannot be determined with certainty whether or not they belong to these which we have mentioned, are nevertheless doubtful and full of danger not only because of the doctrines which they profess, but also because

of the philosophy of action which those follow under whose leadership they have developed and governed. 

(Denzinger, "The sources of Catholic dogma".)

There should be no doubt in any Catholics mind that these last "popes" have been automatically

excommunicated long before they were unlawfully elected to sit in the Chair of Peter, for as Pope Leo XIII said in his long prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel after he had his vision that the devil would be allowed to attack the Church: ..

"Even in the holy place where the See of Blessed Peter and the chair of truth was set up to enlighten the world, they have raised the abominable throne of their impiety with the iniquitous hope that the Shepherd may be stricken and the flock scattered abroad."

The Raccolta

It shouldn't suprise anyone that the first thing the freemasonic "pope" did when taking over, was to make sure the decision of Pope Leo XIII to have everyone recite this long prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel after every Mass, was quickly replaced by a shorter, and very un-informative version.

The short version of the prayer goes like this:

Saint Michael the archangel defend us in battle. Be our protector against the wickedness and

snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do Thou o Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God thrust down to hell satan and all the other spirits that are prowling about the world to the great peril of the human race and the loss of souls. Amen.

The longer, original prayer by Pope Leo XIII is found in its entirety below:

Original – Prayer to St. Michael

“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.

Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.

These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.

Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers. 

R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered the root of David.

V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.

R. As we have hoped in Thee.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer. 

R. And let my cry come unto Thee. 

Let us pray. O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St. Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.”

Why I do not go to validly ordained heretics for Sacraments

There is a book published in 2008 called "Communicatio in Sacris", by William J. DeTucci (It can be purchased at lulu.com), that I strongly recommend all Catholics to get. The book is quite unique of its kind, and is a great eye-opener to why it would be wrong to go to validly ordained heretics for confession or other Sacraments. DeTucci has gathered numerous quotes from Popes, Saints and Church Councils on the above-mentioned subject, and may best be summed up in the authors own, strong

words:
"The CMRI, SSPX, SBC, Dimond Brothers (MHFM) and any other so-called Traditional Catholic Sects, are no different than the Heretical-Intercommunion of Vatican II (1962-1965). Since, these so-called Traditionalists lament the fact that Vatican II has permitted, allowed or encouraged "Intercommunion" with non-Catholics. Nevertheless, they are just as guilty (if not even more) since the Sacraments of the aforesaid so-called Traditionalists appear Valid, while the Vatican II Sect's Sacraments are dubious and highly questionable. The pseudo-Traditionalists throw boulders at the Vatican II Sect, yet they commit the most grievous of Sins and Heresies with their so-called Traditionalist-Ecumenism! Anathema to those that Intercommunicate with the Heterodox! Shame on the CMRI, SSPX, SBC, Dimond Brothers (MHFM) and any other that "appear" to profess Roman Catholicism, but are really sharers in Heretical-Communion among so-called Traditionalists!"


I would say that the most powerful quote of the entire book, is one by the Cardinal Saint Bonaventure, explaining how being validly ordained is not enough to actually give you absolution for your sins, when it is provided outside of the Church Unity:

"Once these conditions [intentions of orders] are present, the sacraments may be conferred by either the good or the wicked, the faithful or the heretical, within the Church or outside it: but within the Church, they are conferred both in fact and in effect, while outside it, although conferred in fact, they are not effective."
(Saint Bonaventure, The Breviloquium II, part VI, chapter 5, Article 1)

In this way you don't actually reap the fruits of the Sacrament, you are not absolved of your sins. Pope Leo XIII is quoted on the same subject-matter:

Letter Exima Nos laetitia, July 19, 1893, by Pope Leo XIII:
"From this is follows also that they cannot promise themselves any of the graces and fruits of the perpetual sacrifice and of the sacraments, which, although they are sacrilegiously administered, are nonetheless valid and serve in some measure that form and appearance of piety which St. Paul mentions (1:Cor. 13:3.) and which St. Augustine speaks of at greater length: 'The form of the branch,' says the latter with great precision, 'may still be visible, even apart from the vine, but the invisible life of the root can be preserved only in union with the stock. That is why the corporal sacraments, which some keep and use outside the unity of Christ, can preserve the appearance of piety. But the invisible and spiritual virtue of true piety cannot abide there any more than feeling can remain in an amputated member,' (Serm. LXXI, in Matt.,32)

The Papal Encyclical Graves Ac Diuturnae, March 23, 1875, Art 4, by Pope Pius IX, concerning the schismatic and heretical so called Old Catholics:
" They [the faithful] should totally shun their [the Old Catholics] religious celebrations, their buildings, and their chairs of pestilence which they have with impunity established to transmit the sacred teachings.
            They should shun their writings and all contact with them. They should not have any dealings or meetings with usurping priests and apostates from the faith who dare to exercise the duties of an ecclesiastical minister without possessing a legitimate mission or any jurisdiction."

In England, during the reign of Henry VIII, some Catholics would still go to the validly ordained priests and bishops who had fallen into the Anglican heresy. The Pope refused Catholics to join these in prayers and rites, not due to their effect in validity. On the contrary, the Pope refused as well because their rites were indeed, if not most, very valid but most illicit and unfruitful at the hands of heretics and schismatics. Furthermore, His Holiness, had such a horror of Heresy, that he even stated: "Even if my own father was a heretic, I would gather the wood to burn him!"
Quoting Pope Paul IV:
"We are forced to admonish and conjure you, that on no account you go to the churches of heretics, or hear their sermons, or join in their rites, lest he incure the wrath of God; for it is not lawful for you to do such things, without dishonoring God, and hurting your own souls." (Communicatio in Sacris, p.149)

In the writings of Saint Thomas Aquinas he quotes, "The Canon says (Dist. 32) 'But when the Arian bishop arrived, God's devoted servant rebuked him, as was right for him to do.' I answer that, As was said above, heretical, schismatical, excommunicate, or even sinful priests, although they have the power to consecrate the Eucharist, yet they do not make a proper use of it; on the contrary, they sin by using it. But whoever communicates with another who is in sin, becomes a sharer in his sin. Hence we read in John's Second Canonical Epistle (11)-(10) that 'He that saith unto him, God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works.'
            Consequently, it is not lawful to receive Communion from them, or to assist at their mass. Still, there is a difference among them above, because heretics, schismatics, and excommunicates, have been forbidden by the Church's sentence, to perform the Eucharistic rite. And therefore whoever hears their mass or receives the sacraments from them, commits sin. But not all who are sinners are debarred by the Church's sentence from using this power..."
           
Summa Theologica, Pt.III, Q.82, Art.9: "By refusing to hear the masses of such priests, or to receive Communion from them, we are not shunning God's sacraments; on the contrary, by so doing we are giving them honor..."

"Let a bishop, presbyter, or deacon, who has only prayed with heretics, be excommunicated: but if he has permitted them to perform any clerical office, let him be deposed." (Canon 44/or XLV; Canones Apostolorum, Mansi, Tom. I, col. 39).

The Fourth Council of Carthage (398 A.D.) presided over by St. Augustine:
"One must neither pray nor sing psalms with heretics, and whosoever shall communicate with those who are cut off from the communion of the Church, whether clergy or layman, let him be excommunicated." (Mansi, Tom. III, col. 957, Canons 72 and 73).

It is my hope that this small selection of quotes from "Communicatio in Sacris" will help Catholics to make the right decisions and carry their Crosses, even if they should feel like the "last man standing."
Remember, God can do anything. He is able to save you, and He is a Sovereign God, not depending upon anything or anyone to do whatever He pleases. Only God can save you. Have Faith in Him.

A few reasons for rejecting the SSPX

The SSPX is not a Catholic organization. The most important thing about being a Catholic, is to keep the Catholic Faith. We know that the Church is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.. All Catholics have one Faith and those who keep that Faith are Catholics, those who do not, are not Catholics. It is not whether or not you have a Mass to go to that makes you a Catholic. For example, in Japan, after Christian missionaries had been to the country and many became Catholic, after a while, there were no Priests in Japan for SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS! This means no Mass and no confessions to a Priest. They only had baptism, because anyone can baptize, even a midwife. For example, the midwife or a family member will baptize babies when the newborn baby looks like it is going to die. But the Japanese also had the Sacrament of Marriage, because the Church teaches that if there is no priest, a couple can exchange their wedding vows in front of some witnesses, and they will be legally married, because this Sacrament is exchanged between the man and the woman, not BY the PRIEST. And they lived like this in Japan for hundreds of years. But they were still Catholics, because they kept the Catholic Faith. Why am I speaking to you about this example from Japan? To prove that other Christians have lived without the Mass before. It is not something unique, looking at Church history, that many are living without the possibility of attending a Mass.

I hope that you believe that the Novus Ordo (the Second Vatican Council "Church") are not Catholics. Why? Because they do not keep the Catholic Faith. For example, they believe that you can save your soul in any religion, like Islam or Protestantism. As long as you follow your own conscience, you will be saved. This is not the teachings of the Catholic Church. It has always taught that there IS NO SALVATION OUTSIDE the Catholic Church. If a Priest, or a Pope, teaches that you can be saved in other religions, they fall into HERESY and are no longer Catholics. There is a teaching of the Church called IPSO FACTO. It means that if you start accepting a heresy, like the false teaching that you can be saved outside the Catholic Church, or any other heresy, you automatically stop being Catholic. The normal procedure is that someone above you in the Church excommunicates heretics (they kick you out of the Church), but if the heresy is manifested (i.e. public) then you are kicked out of the Church automatically or IPSO FACTO. How? Because Gods' Divine Law kicks you out. This is what has happened to the "Pope" -and I like to call him the anti-pope. He does not believe in Catholic Teachings, and more importantly, he does not TEACH Catholic teachings publicly. And so everyone who knows Catholic teaching can see that he is not a Catholic. You do not become the Pope just because you get to wear the Papal hat.

Sedevacantists, like myself, say; okay, the Novus Ordo teaches that you can be saved in other religions (and many other heresies), therefore they are not keeping the Catholic Faith and they are not the Catholic Church/Catholic Religion. Therefore, I would have nothing more to do with them, than I would with Muslims or Protestants or Hindus. I will not listen to them about their religious believes (unless I am trying to convert them), pray together with them, celebrate Mass with them or believe that they can be saved in their religion. There is no pope at the moment, but the Church still exists as long as there are people who believe the teachings of the Catholic Church. I do not know how God will give us a new pope or when or if, but, just like the Catholics in Japan, I am just waiting and living my Catholic life. I accept that God has punished us for our sins by taking away the Pope and most of the priests for a while, and He will also fix the problem when the time is right. Maybe in my lifetime, maybe after I die. God can still save me by giving me perfect sorrow (contrition) for my sins when I confess them to him in my bedroom every night. Because God can do anything.

The SSPX has a different view. They say that having to live under the conditions that the Japanese did for such a long time is not possible, that there has to be priests available. They also think that there has to be a pope, we need the Mass, we have to have priests. It does not matter that the "pope" believes people can be saved in other religions and other heresies. Maybe he is just a bad pope.. So they actually believe that you can teach that there is salvation in other religions and still be a Catholic. And not only be a Catholic, but even Christ’s vicar on earth, the one person on earth who is supposed to protect and guide the Catholic believers, can teach whatever he wants and still be the pope… They don't believe that the "pope" can be kicked out of the Church automatically (ipso facto), even though it is a church teaching that it is possible.

And then there is another problem. If Ratzinger is the pope, then we also need to obey him. You know, do what he says and teaches. But the SSPX does not. They ordain their own bishops and priests, even though Ratzinger said NO! They celebrate their own Masses in stead of going to the New Mass or the Latin one that the Novus Ordo arranges from time to time. Some SSPX priests, maybe all, will pray "una cum" for Ratzinger during Mass. This means that they pray for and together with him as if he was the head of the Church. But at the same time they will not celebrate Mass with him or believe what he believes or teach what he teaches. Do you see a problem here? This is called SCHISM. You say that someone is Catholic but you will not be together with them in Church. And you will not obey their authority. In this way the SSPX has one leg in the Novus Ordo, and the other leg in tradition. But this is not Catholic teaching. You are not a little bit saved and a little bit not saved. A little bit Catholic and a little bit not Catholic. You are EITHER CATHOLIC or NOT CATHOLIC. And you have to choose sides, not join the Novus Ordo "just a little bit." If they are the Catholic Church, you go with them. If they are not, you stay away. There is only ONE FAITH in the Catholic Church. Anything else is no more than Protestantism, where you can pick and choose what to accept. The SSPX are therefore heretics, their priests are not obeying their "pope" (anti-pope), they are in schism with other people they believe to be Catholic, and they think that the Latin Mass is more important than keeping the Catholic Faith. Do you see the problem here?

If you ask a SSPX “priest” about his believes he will probably answer that "there is no salvation outside the Church". BUT, he will either define Church as both Catholics and those who are ignorant of the Catholic Faith, or he will say that there are also invisible members of the Church, but this is a novus ordo modern invention. In Tradition you do not have a visible and an invisible church. The Church has always been visible.

My hope is that people will have the strength and courage to look into this, so that they will not loose their souls. It is a very important topic. I also have some Church documents published on this blog, just look for the Latin titles.

The evil "revelation" of Angelica Zambrano

I usually don't pay much attention to these private "revelations" that pop up from time to time. As a former protestant I did, and it was usually a waste of time. But I noticed a "testimony" that was becoming increasingly popular online, and I even found it published on a more traditional Catholic site, because this 18 year old Ecuadorian girl claimes to have seen John Paul II burning in hell because of his idolatry, while she was apparently dead for 23 hours. And so it is tempting for sedevacantists to publish her youtube-testimony to get the word going. And I must say; this girl is very convincing in many ways, and it only makes her testimony more dangerous. So I suffered through the whole thing, trying to find the agenda behind her revelation of Heaven and hell.      

 The first thing that comes to mind, is that she- and her mother, who testifies of her death, are not dressed very modestly at all (Just look at how the children of Fatima were dressed). The mother makes it clear that they are not members of a traditional Catholic Church, but of some kind of charismatic movement, although it is hard to know if it is a protestant or some kind of Novus Ordo branch.. So they are fasting and praying, and the daughter receives "supernatural" knowledge of her soon-coming death, and although she tells no one but God, this is also confirmed by a visiting "servant of God." Before this, the daughter admits that she has strayed away into a sinful life, and so she could easily have been exposed to demons, and they could still be with her if she has not confessed her sins sacramentally. Demons could have heard her talking to God, and they could also have put ideas into her mind of what signs to ask for, as well as into the mind of the visiting "servant of God."
              The vision itself sounds very conservative and convincing, but there are things that "give her away." For example, she uses a very protestant term when she claimes that Jesus, while showing hell to her, starts crying because He "loves the sinner but hates the sin." This is not Catholic doctrine at all. God would never throw someone He loves into hell, you can not separate the two things. The Bible is clear in many places that God hates the sinner as well, not just the sin. This does not contradict the fact that He loved the world so much that He gave His life for sinners. God loves a contrite heart, but not an obstinate sinner.
               A nother thing that contradicts generosity, is the fact that the girl, before dying, decides to give away all her things. But..she tells her friends that if she comes back, she want's them to give it all back to her. This does not sound like an act of charity, and it just makes her testimony less believable. Also, her mother and other laymen are annointing her with oil before she dies. It does not seem like a good thing to do, instead of having a priest give her the last sacraments. Her testimony on youtube goes on for an hour and a half, and she describes how people are suffering in hell for all kinds of sins. There are demons, worms, blasphemies, flames, sulfer, JP II, Michael Jackson and some other singer..even children condemned to hell for disobeying their parents. It all sounds very traditional and scary. And you keep wondering what the agenda really is, if this is of satan. But then, in the end, the heresies build up.
                The worst heresy is when she comes to Heaven and Mary, the Mother of God is being shown to her. "Jesus" explains to the girl how "Mary, as well as the other Saints, are completely without knowledge about what's going on down on earth. And the people who venerate them and turn to them for help are IDOLATORS.." She also mentiones the "rapture" very breefly, and claimes that babies in their mothers wombs are being rushed up to heaven, leaving the mothers with empty bellies. This is a terrible rejection of original sin and the necessity of waterbaptism for salvation. This kind of rapture is also a protestant idea, not based on Tradition. She concludes by saying that there will be a time on earth when the Holy Spirit will not be present on earth at all. This also goes against Jesus promises to the Church that His Spirit will guide the Church, and that this Church will stand against the gates of hell unto the end of time. This is not possible for the Church if there is no Holy Spirit around to help. So this revelation is very evil. It should not be used as evidence for sedevacantism and it should not be published on Traditional websites. A revelation that leads people away from the Mother of God is the last thing that the Church needs in these evil times. It just shows how evil and deceiving the devil is, and that even the elect could be deceived. Watch and pray.
           

Ukrainian "Catholics" condemn Benedict XVI & JPII

Address to Pope Benedict XVI
By Archbishop Elias
Of the Ukrainian Orthodox Greek-Catholic Church
January 28, 2011
(Transcript of the English translation)


Your Holiness,

On the very first day in the New Year shocking news went the rounds: You confirmed the apostatical gesture in Assisi; you intend to repeat and canonize it.
We quote you: “To commemorate the great historic gesture of my predecessor and to solemnly renew the commitment of the believers of all the religions to live their own religious faith as a service to peace.”

Your Holiness, realize that by your acknowledgement of the Assisi gesture, you stood against Christ and against His Mystical Body, the Church.

This so-called “great historic gesture” is a total betrayal of Christianity.

To invite pagans who worship Satan to Assisi and to commit them to living their own religious faith is absurd. To put pagan idolatry on an equal footing with the Gospel is heresy maxima.

The Gospel and the whole missionary tradition of the Church are thus denied.

Your Holiness, Peter denied Christ three times, but that very night he showed repentance.

1) You publicly declared a heresy.

2) You fixed a specific date of beatification of an apostate.

3) You decided to make a gesture of apostasy and to go to Assisi yourself.

In these last two years, our bishops’ Synod have repeatedly urged you to begin the reform of the Church. We have stressed that the reform of the Church cannot be effected without public repentance for the apostatical gesture of John Paul II in Assisi.

It is the irony that at the beginning of this year you did quite the opposite: You set a concrete date on the beatification of an apostatical Pope: 1st May, 2011.

The day when you beatify an apostate will become the day of your self-excommunication from the Mystical Body of Christ.

According to the Epistle to the Galatians, Chapter 1, verses 8 and 9, you will fall under God’s anathema, a curse.

If you then create unity with the spirit of Anti-Christ in Assisi, you will become a grave-digger of the Church.

Twenty years after his death, Pope Honorius I was excommunicated from the Church only because he had been silent on heresy. Similarly to John Paul II, you are silent on heresies. You too make a historic heretical gesture.
Unless you repent, you will be responsible for [the] self-destruction of the Catholic Church.
Your Holiness, come to reason and repent.

How?

1) Firstly, cancel the planned meeting in Assisi and do the opposite. The opposite is public penance for the heretical gesture of John Paul II.

2) Secondly, cancel the beatification of John Paul II.

3) Thirdly, remove apostate cardinals and bishops from office. Consecrate true Catholic bishops who will carry out an internal reform of the Church.
This is what the bleeding Church expects from you.

This is what the suffering Shepherd of the Church, Jesus Christ Himself, expects from you.

He will soon ask you to account for whether you acted in accordance with this prophetic word.

Your Holiness, seven bishops of the Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Greek-Catholic Church are praying for you.

Heretical joint declaration with the lutherans!

Some of the voices that criticize the sedevacantist position, claim that it is just protestantism in a new form. Concidering that most of these voices come from members of the novus ordo, it just makes the following document more tragic and outragous. Who is the real protestant here? In 1999, leaders within the "Catholic Church" met with diverse representatives of the lutheran heretic religion to sign a JOINT DECLARATION on justification!!  First they liftet the excommunication of Eastern heretics, even though these people had not repented of their false teachings earlier condemned by the Church, or changed any of their believes in any way. And now this joint declaration with the Lutherans. How could this come to pass? It is simply because the novus ordo no longer believes in the bulla Unam Sanctam, and therefore they claim that the anathemas from the council of Trent against the heresy of "sola fide" (faith alone) no longer applies. This does not mean that the novus ordo teaches sola fide, only that the doctrine is no longer condemned by their sect. Some would claim that Ratzinger could not be blamed, because he was not present at this meeting. But Ratzinger has many times refered to this joint declaration and strongly encouraged others (like the methodists) to join in during public speaches. It is also completely pointless for members of the novus ordo to reject or criticize sedevacantists based on the false argument that it is "protestantism.." After all, protestantism is no longer a condemned heresy according to their sect, and protestants are according to them a part of the invisible body of Christ, and not outside of salvation. Obliged to share faith with their imposter "church" they are therefore forced to accept these heretics, and according to their definition, even sedevacantists. It would also be completely pointless, yes, even a crime against unity, for a member of the novus ordo to try and convert a protestant to the novus ordo. According to the novus ordo this would be called the act of "SHEEP STEALING", and is not allowed.

Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, part 41:
(vaticancatholic.com och vatican.com)
"Thus the doctrinal condemnations of the 16th century (from the Council of Trent), in so far as they are related to the doctrine of justification, appear in a new light: THE TEACHING OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCHES PRESENTED IN THIS DECLARATION DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE CONDEMNATION FROM THE COUNCIL OF TRENT.”

1) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 26: ”According to the Lutheran understanding, God justifies sinners in FAITH ALONE.”

2) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 21: ”According to the Lutheran teaching, HUMAN BEINGS ARE INCAPABLE OF COOPERATING IN THEIR SALVATION, because as sinners they actively oppose God and his saving action.”

3) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 26: ”…Lutherans…intend rather to express that JUSTIFICATION remains free from human cooperation and IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE LIFE RENEWING EFFECTS OF GRACE IN HUMAN BEINGS.”

4) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 29: ”LUTHERANS UNDERSTAND THIS CONDITION OF THE CHRISTIAN AS A BEING ’AT THE SAME TIME RIGHTEOUS AND SINNER.’ Believers are totally righteous, in that God forgives their sins through Word and Sacrament and grants the righteousness of Christ which they appropriate in faith. In Christ, they recognize that they remain totally sinners.”

5) Joint Declaration With the Lutherans on Justification, 31st of October 1999, paragraph 29 : ”..Lutherans say that justified persons are also sinners and that their opposition to God is truly sin, THET DO NOT DENY THAT, DESPITE THIS SIN, THEY ARE NOT SEPARATED FROM GOD and that this is a ’ruled’ sin.”

And now what the REAL CATHOLIC CHURCH says in the Council of Trent:

1) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 6, chapter 10, ex cathedra: ”You see, that by works a man is justified and NOT BY FAITH ALONE (James 2:24)”

2) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 6, canon 4, ex cathedra: ”IF ANYONE SHALL SAY THAT MAN’S FREE WILL MOVED AND AROUSED BY GOD DOES NOT COOPERATE by assenting to God who rouses and calls, whereby it disposes and prepares itself to obtain the grace of justification, and that it cannot dissent, if it wishes, but that like something inanimate it does nothing at all and is merely in a passive state: LET HIM BE ANATHEMA.”

3) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 6, canon 1, ex cathedra: ”IF ANYONE SHALL SAY THAT MAN CAN BE JUSTIFIED before God by his own works which are done eother by his own natural powers, or through the teaching of the Law, and WITHOUT DIVINE GRACE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS: LET HIM BE ANATHEMA.”

4) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 5: ”FOR IN THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN, GOD hates nothing, because ’THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION, to those who are truly buried together with Christ by baptism unto death’ (Rom. 6:4), who do not ’walk according to the flesh’ (Rom. 8:1), but putting off ’the old man’ and putting on the ’new, who is created according to God’ (Ef 4:22; Col 3:9), ARE MADE INNOCENT, IMMACULATE, PURE, GUILTLESS, and beloved sons of God, ’heirs indeed of God, but co-heirs with Christ’ (Rom. 8:17), so that there is nothing whatever to retard their entrance into Heaven.”

5) Pope Paul III, Council of Trent, session 6, chapter 15, ex cathedra: ”…the doctrine of divine law which excludes from the kingdom of God not only the unbelievers, but also the faithful who are fornicators, adulterers, effeminate, liers with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, railers, extortioners (1 Chor. 6:9), and all others who commit DEADLY SINS, from which with the assistance of divine grace they can refrain and FOR WHICH THEY ARE SEPARATED FROM THE GRACE OF GOD.”

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Heresy!

On the 18th of September 2009, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops published the following, completely un-Catholic and very heretical document.

Ten Things to Know about Working for Christian Unity

1. The Commandment for Christian Unity Comes from Christ Himself. On the night before he died, Christ prayed, “May they all be one…so that the world may believe.” (Jn 16:21ff) Christ prayed for it. We have to pray and work for it too.

2. The Biggest Stumbling Block to the Credibility of the Gospel is a Divided Christianity. Sadly, modern society is not well disposed towards religion in general and Christianity in particular. As the world has become more secular, one of the chief arguments people use against Christians is that we simply don’t have our act together. We need to change that perception if we want to be taken seriously.

3. Working for Christian Unity is Integral to the Life of the Church. The Apostle Paul constantly worked and prayed for unity in the Church. So too should today’s Catholics. In his encyclical Ut Unum Sint, Pope John Paul II said: “Thus promoting Christian unity, is not just some sort of "appendix" which is added to the Church's traditional activity. Rather, ecumenism is an organic part of her life and work and consequently pervades all that she is and does...”

4. “Convergence” not “Compromise” is the Key to Christian Unity. Working for Christian unity does not mean giving up what is essential to the Catholic faith simply to get along with other Christians. Rather, it is searching for ways to express the truth of the gospel. For Christians the Truth is not a something, but a someONE, and that is Jesus the Christ. Like a wagon wheel with Christ at the center and each Christian on the spokes, in the search for truth, the closer we get to Christ, the closer we get to one another.

5. Ecumenism Happens on Many Levels. Ecumenism can happen in a marriage where the spouses come from different Christian traditions or through a program between a parish and a local Orthodox, Protestant or Evangelical congregation. Or it could be on the diocesan, national, or international level.

6. The First Work of Unity is Prayer. Christians can and should pray together for unity. When we join our prayers for unity to the prayer of Christ, then unity is possible. This is a sign of the real, but imperfect communion which we share in our common baptism. However, because we are not in full communion, Catholics should not receive the Eucharist in other churches and vice versa.

7. The Second Work of Unity is Common Work and Witness. Working together in areas of common concern is a powerful step toward unity. What we can do together, we should do together, especially in acts of charity. Many parishes and congregations work together to run common food pantries, social service agencies, medical clinics and emergency response teams.

8. The Third Work of Unity is Dialogue. Once Christians have prayed and worked together, it makes sense to explore the beliefs, practices and doctrines we hold in common. Dialogue starts with seeking to know the other and often there is more that unites than divides us. When we understand where we converge, we can begin to honestly explore the theological and practical issues that still divide us.

9. Apathy and Proselytism are Opposed to Unity. We live in a privileged time. The animosities that brought about a divided Christianity are no longer present. Yet we cannot sit back and do nothing. Likewise, proselytism, or the deliberate targeting of another Christian or group of Christians for the sole purpose of getting them to reject their church to join another, is not allowed. Some people may feel called in conscience to change from one tradition to another, but “sheep stealing” is unacceptable.

10. Achieving Unity is Going to Take a Long, Long Time.We have lived in a divided Christianity for almost a thousand years. Christian unity is not going to be achieved overnight. But by praying together, working together and engaging in charitable, deliberate dialogue, we can work with the Holy Spirit so that the prayer of Christ at the Last Supper, “that they all may be one…that the world may believe” will come to fruition.

But by praying together, working together and engaging in charitable, deliberate dialogue, we can work with the Holy Spirit so that the prayer of Christ at the Last Supper, “that they all may be one…that the world may believe” will come to fruition.


Here are an example of a typical heretical statement by the anti-popes of the II Vatican "Church"...where they deny one of the four cournerstones of Catholic doctrine, namely that the church is UNITED (in unity, one)

John Paul II, Homilia, Dec 5, 1996 – on the subject of common prayer with non-Catholics: ”When we pray together, we do so with the longing ’THAT THERE MAY BE ONE VISIBLE CHURCH OF GOD, A CHURCH TRULY UNIVERSAL and sent forth to the whole world that the world may be converted to the Gospel and so be saved, to the glory of God’ (citat ur Unitatis Redintegratio, 1.).”


And then what the TRUE CHURCH teaches:
The niceno-constantinopolitan creed 381, ex cathedra: ”We believe in… One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church”

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognium, 29th of june 1896: ”The Church in respect of its UNITY belongs to the category of things INDIVISIBLE by nature…”

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, 29th of june 1896: ”… This UNITY CANNOT BE BROKEN, nor the ONE BODY DIVIDED BY THE SEPARATION OF ITS CONSTITUENT PARTS.”

Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, 6th of Jan, 1928: ”… here it seems opportunate to expound and to refute a certain false opinion..For they are of OPINION THAT THE UNITY OF FAITH AND GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS A NOTE OF THE ONE TRUE CHURCH, HAS HARDLY UP TO THE RESENT TIME EXISTED, AND DOES NOT TODAY EXIST.”

The novus ordo is NOT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH! It is a false anti-church and it contradicts Catholic teaching on a daily basis all over the world!

Really annoying!

After a conversation I had with my husband yesterday I have decided to share my perspective on this guy: "Paleocrat.." He announced a while back that he had become a sedevacantist, and immediately he started being a teatcher of the faith, both online and in the group he joined, the CMRI I think it was. Anyway.. it's just annoying. Sure, I have a blog, it's mostly here in case anyone in my region would want to know if there are other sedevacantists around. Now, St: Paul, a man who even before his conversion to Christianity more or less knew the Old testament by heart, still spent 3 years in the desert contemplating, learning, seeking God before he started his great mission trips. And then you have guys like this, who always want to be the teacher right away, the "intellectual" among us. Still, he tends to quote a lot of things that are just obvious discoveries by other traditionalists, works that are not even translated into English. It's not a bad thing to quote others, but why make it sound like you have red the whole thing yourself? Has he even red the whole Bible all the way through? I have my doubts.
And now his latest news. He is no longer a sedevacantist. He never was in the first place. Like most people of his kind, he has all the way rejected the salvation dogma, a clear sign of his bad will. He belongs to the kind of people who believes that there is a possability of saving your soul through ignorance when you just follow your consciense. It's the same as saying that ALMIGHTY GOD should be ignorant of the state of a soul, or dependant on people in order to share the truth with them. What a blasphemy against God's greatness!
So now Paleocrat has come to the conclution that sedevacantism is to reject authority, to operate without jurisdiction, that it is spiritual anarchy!! That the code of Canon Law from 1917 leaves all judgement to the Pope and Cardinals. Has he still not understood that we are sedevacantists because all the things that the Church and the Popes have taught us during the A.D. era matters more to us than the number of people who still believe in it today does? It is BECAUSE the authority of the Church matters so much to us that we are sedevacantists. We reject the constant corruption of the Faith. Has he forgotten about the warnings given to the Church by our Lady of Fatima? Or by Pope Leo the XIII and his prayer to St. Michael the Archangel? Has he forgotten about the oath against modernism? And when it comes to jurisdiction, who in his mind are supposed to give this jurisdiction? The non-existing arch-bishops? In Norway there are no priests, no bishops.. So when we find a traditional priest somewhere else and he agrees to come and visit us, should we not receive him only because there does not exist anyone who still keeps the faith to give him that jurisdiction? If there was such a person, the priest would obviously not serve here without his blessing. But now he is free to serve us because we live in a clergy-desert! We have for now nothing and noone but God to watch over us. Or should we turn to heretics for this jurisdiction? Men outside the Church? Or does the Code of Canon Law from 1917 force us to go to a false imitation of the Pope or the Cardinals for jurisdiction? You have got to be kidding me! They are by their own words and actions outside the Church. The Divine Law condemns them. They are NOT above God Himself and not free to do whatever they want. So this guy can continue to go where the wind blows, to seek the attention that he obviously is in great need of. And the ones who want to be Catholic can continue to do so, trusting in God to keep them safe and not in heretics and trange pop-up organizations. It's not spiritual anarchy, it is obedience to Christ and to His Church who never changes! Here is his latest news, and let it speak for itself. Don't be fooled.



After I wrote this I found this videofile, published by Most Holy Family Monastery..

The false sedevacantists

A lot of the current information about the Catholic Church and the sedevacantist position comes from the english speaking world. I fully appreciate all the useful information published by different organizations and groups that are out there. To find Catholic litterature of the good, old kind in the Nordic languages is more or less an impossibility. After more than 400 years under protestant ruling, the traces of truth have been skillfully erased, books burned, historical facts altered etc. Nowadays we even have the imposter-sect the Novus Ordo to battle against, with all their "revised versions" of writings, sometimes revised into the unrecognizable.
But what both puzzles me and grieves me, as an outsider, not being a member of any organisation, not even having a Priest in the region or a Mass to go to.. is to observe the numerous kinds of strange attitudes and even heresies held within the sedevacantist community. (And by community I don't mean that I am in communion with heretics, since it is a fact that it only takes one heresy to fall outside of the Church.)The most frequent ones seem to be
1) That there is no salvation outside the Church, except..EXCEPT!!? People always have exceptions. Whether it is the unbaptized infants, the 12-year old protestant, the ignorant of good will who are following their own conscienses.. Why do people always think that God knows all minor things, all of our little problems and everyday battles, and then He, the Almighty God! should NOT KNOW about the much bigger and more important issue of .. weather or not people have heard the true gospel. Is God ignorant of the heathens? Does He depend upon man to share the truth with anyone? Did He not convert St. Paul on the way to Damascus? All humanbeings without exceptions are outside the Church AND outside salvation as long as they are not in unity with the Church in faith, having entered by water baptism. And they are guilty of sin and will be condemned, if not for not having heard, then for actual and original sin. Why is that so hard to grasp? And why do we have examples in Church history of the Saints raising the unbaptized from the dead in order for them to be baptized, if it was not absolutely necessary for them in order to enter Heaven?
2)The natural family planning heresy. Why do Catholics refuse God His right over their bodies for procreation? Do they not know that duty comes before pleasure? Do they not understand that marriage is a Sacrament and a calling to bring about little Christians, Godwilling? Do they not know that fleshly lust in itself is a sin, even within a marriage if the main-intention of the marriage act is deliberately avoided? And that chastity is a virtue?
3)The heresy that having a Mass to go to is more important than keeping the Faith.
We are not Catholics if we go to the Latin Mass, we are Catholics when we keep the Faith. You Commune with those that you believe and hope to share eternity with. In the Nordic region, even before the "Reformation" we read about Catholics who could not go to Mass for 7 years. And we don't have a Mass today. Does that make us less Catholic? Does that exclude us from the Church? Not at all. Compromising your Faith does.
4) The strange attitude that it is more important that you wear a neck-tie and a shirt to Church than that you prepare your heart before you enter. Why not strive to be better on the inside? Does God really care that much about outer appearance? He cares about MODESTY, yes, but a tie? Why not encourage people to drop by the Church during lunch-hours, after work, before school? If you have the privilege of having a Church around, why not strive to BE THERE as much as you can. Do you have to worry about "running home to get your tie and Jacket and nice shoes?" And the fashion is a modern invention, maybe even vanity for some people. As an outsider, longing to have a Church to go to, I grieve for you and your invented problems. Wear a tie if you want to, but don't judge a brother who wears sandals but who comes with a pure heart or at least a longing for a pure heart. Did not Jesus himself wear sandals? He even told his followers to only have ONE PAIR! Worry about how to get the gospel out to people and to your own children instead. Now, there's a challenge!

Novus Ordo

Islam

Muslims idol-worshipping outside the Norwegian government building in Oslo as a protest against some drawings of their anti-prophet Mohammed.

Alongside this youtube video, (which was obviously not produced by Catholics but still have a few ineresting points) there is also a longer movie called "What the West needs to know about Islam", that I would recommend people to watch. It's very interesting and exposes Islam as being an aggressive religion rather than a religion of peace. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-871902797772997781#
