Prayers going up for Fr. Pulvermacher.
Prayers offered for a dying priest.
I believe he is the brother of "Pope Pius XIII" if I am not mistaken.
Shame on you. His brother's affiliation or activity simply doesn't relate to this solicitation for prayers during his time of need.
Fr. Carl Pulvermacher is deserving of our prayers as is any priest who has given his life to Christ and especially because of his service to the saving of souls. I have had the honor to meet him and he is a kind, gentle man, with a strong compulsion to offer pastoral care to those he comes into contact.
He has been an exemplary priest and may God look with favor upon his work on this earth.
It wasn't a dig. I was simply asking a question.
Prayers for Fr. Pulvermacher.
Q. Do I fulfill my Sunday obligation by going to the New Mass?
A. "No. The Church obliges Catholics to keep holy the Sundays and Holy Days by hearing one whole Mass if they are able to do so. If there is no Mass available, but only the New Mass, I must skip it and keep Holy the Lord's Day by doing the next best thing."
" I know many people who share your situation. They want to know if they should go to the New Mass which is available, since the nearest Latin Mass is hundreds of miles away. I always say "no," because I believe the New Mass (even when possibly valid) is Protestant and leads to apostasy,"
is indeed the brother of "Pope Pius XIII"...
and he needs our (even those of us who go to the normative Mass) prayers as does anyone dying - especially priests who teach others...
Q. Is there really no salvation outside the Catholic Church?
A. Yes! Understood properly, this is correct. The Catholic Church is the only means of salvation given to us in this present dispensation. All mankind, from the time of Her founding, must belong to Her in some way. If one knows the Catholic Church is the True Church and refuses to enter Her, he cannot be saved.
*...and then themselves sever communion with their Pope, Bishop and Christian laity who maintain that Communion.
Can. 751 Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him.
I join my prayers with others for this poor misguided soul. I pray he re-establishes communion with Holy Mother Church while there is still time and, failing that, I pray he falls into the arms of our loving, merciful Jesus who judges all justly

However, the second part of Canon 751 regarding schism can be mitigated by extraordinary factors such as moral problems that have arisen in the vast majority of dioceses.
How about Card. Mahoney's diocese or Card. Martini for that matter? Wouldn't the moral scandal caused by being obedient as a faithful Catholic to these men mitigate the disobedience? I think being faithful to God first then men is far more important than following Canon Law to the letter, especially when the state of my soul in endangered.
Card. Hoyos said the SSPX is in schism, but priests like Fr. Pulvermacher are suspended a divinis. It's a bad thing, but it's not the same thing as schism.

Friends, shouldn't you take your argument about right and wrong of theology to a thread that isn't for prayers?
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of your mercy.
O my Jesus, healer, hope, our salvation, watch over this priest who lies gravely ill. Remember him for what he intended to do for your glory. If possible, heal his body, and we ask that you heal his soul from all things that might trouble it, and give him the peace that can only come from you.
Jesus, our hope, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
St. Joseph, patron of all those who begin the journey to the next life when on their final sickbed, I do not know if God is calling this priest home, but I heartily ask your prayers for him.
O Father, Abba, we ask your help and blessing on this man, in the name of your Son, our Lord and Savior, Amen.

Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, 2 Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses. 3 All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not.
*Brother, there has never been a time when there were not scandalous Bishops; starting with Judas. Would disciples then been justified in abandoning Jesus because of Judas' behavior?
*We Christian men multi-task, sister :)

Kyrie elieson!
Take your discussion to an open thread.
I was unaware that was the case. I will cease.
**Q. Do I fulfill my Sunday obligation by going to the New Mass?**
Yes
The Church is far greater than canon law.
