For the record - Bishop Fellay: "we thank God, we have been preserved from any kind of Agreement"
I’m sorry to say he’s likely right. Schism the likes of which we haven’t seen in centuries may be coming. The modernists will again cull from the priesthood any man who will fight for traditional morality and against sin.
Welcome to the United Church of Rome.
Kumbayah indeed.
I sense that the chief reason why next spring both Blessed John Paul II and Blessed John XXIII are being declared saints is to be seen as a call to Catholics, both conservative and liberal to be at peace.
Unfortunately, they will have to learn a hard lesson. Let’s pray for them.
Father, please forgive them, for many of them know not what they do.
I know many people will be upset at this news, and say that it is a sin and horrible and so on. However, do they not just follow their consciences? And doesn’t that save them just as it does the atheist? And are we not, as Catholics, called to encourage them to seek what they see as the Good, which is just what they are doing? Or are we at this forum more Catholic than the pope?
Bishop Fellay:
Does this mean, then, that you’re ready to join the sedevacantists?
Bishops Dolan and Williamson await your answer.
The “Catholic Caucus” label will be removed because the article discusses sedevacantists who are not members of the caucus.
And for those, like myself, who need a definition:
The term “sedevacantism” is derived from the Latin phrase sede vacante, which literally means “the seat being vacant”.[3] The phrase is commonly used to refer specifically to a vacancy of the Holy See from the death or resignation of a pope to the election of his successor. “Sedevacantism” as a term in English appears to date from the 1980s, though the movement itself is older. Going back to John XXIII or Pius XII, or Pius X.
Ah, for the days of the Merovingian papacy or the Protestant Reformation. (semi-sarcasm)
