Sorry dude, this pope bashing nonesense does not belong in the news/activism group.

Maybe smokey backroom.

Ratzinger: 99% Protestant

Ouch. And funny!

Ratzinger: 99% Protestant

Both of you have thoughtfully pinged me to a number of threads in recent days. I thought I'd return the favor.

I chatted with the real Fr. Cekada in 1995 or so. He was intelligent, affable and direct - qualities I admire in a priest. Having said that, however, I also have to say I think he is simply wrong-headed on sedevacantism. Sedevacantism has sucked in a number of decent but misguided people.

Check out Mark 9:38-41, or Luke 9:49-50.

I really don’t think the Roman Church owns a monopoly on salvation.

I guess the only way that you could ever get a big audience to read any of your nonsense is to post it at FR.

The good news is now that Benedict XVI has issued the indult, schismatic traditionalist groups will start losing members as people return to the true Church.

According to Vatican II, John Paul II’s Code of Canon Law and Ratzinger’s Catechism of the Catholic Church, all those who have been baptized — Catholics, heretics, schismatics — are incorporated into the “People of God.” This endows them with “degrees of incorporation” into, degrees of “communion” with, or “elements” of, the Church of Christ, which work out as follows:

Not just according to Vatican II. According to immemorial tradition.

The fact that heretics were not rebaptized is direct evidence of this belief. If the heretical bodies had no grace, no communion *at all* with the Catholic Church, their Baptism could never be valid, could it?

If there is no grace at all outside the Roman communion, how do heretics have the power to baptize validly?
