In West Orange, a church divided

[Pyro7480]

This whole situation is sad.

Do you have a link to the actual article or was it only in the print version?

It's appropriate that these Protestants are now at a Lutheran church.

SSPX aka Mel Gibson's buddies.

The disgust I feel for Msgr. Emery is beyond words!!

Many, if not most of its members, are sede vacantists who deny the validity of Novus Ordo, the revised Rite of Ordination, and the present pope,"

False. The official SSPX positions on these matters is well within the reach of anyone with an internet connection & half a brain, and I don't recall answering an Archdiocesan-sponsored poll.

The good people of St. Anthony’s in North Caldwell are true Traditional Catholics. They are NOT deviating from the Faith. They are upholding the Faith and all it’s traditions. They will not be intimidated by the name calling the Novus Ordo directs at them.

St. Anthony’s in West Orange has been perverted by the diocese. There is no Truth there. They have even started DISTRIBUTING COMMUNION IN THE HAND. The people of St. Anthony’s in West Orange are in a schism. They are like a piece of fruit in a barrel of rotten fruit. Eventually the rottenness will infect them.

The only protestants are the Novus Ordo (those so called Catholics that practice the Vatican II mass). They are the ones that made up a brand new mass in 1967, Changing the words of the Gospel from “Many” to “all”, Communion in hand, and a wishy-washy theology handed down by these last four popes, who are actually NON-popes. You can not be the true Pope of the Church of Jesus Christ if you go into a Muslim temple and kiss the Koran as John Paul II did. He told them there were “All paths to heaven” and that “They were all praying to the same God.” In other words, he said that they didn’t need Jesus. What kind of Vicar of Christ would say such a thing?

Benedict has said similar things. These Popes are heretics. It’s not for them TO MAKE UP NEW DOCTRINE, but to ADHERE TO THE TRADITIONS OF THE CHURCH. Therefore, the only TRUE place for salvation is St. Anthony’s in North Caldwell. We are independent from the diocese. We uphold the traditions of the church handed down to us by St. Peter himself.

I urge all Traditional Catholics to come to St. Anthony’s in North Caldwell and receive the true sacraments and graces intended in the mass. You will not receive the true Sacraments in West Orange because it is perverted by the diocese. Father Paul Wickens hated the diocese. They scorned him and humiliated him for years. After he died they cowardly came in through the back door, as Satan often does.

Come to St. Anthony’s in North Caldwell, and you won’t have to worry about things like homosexual priests and questionable doctrine.

I love the Lord, and I love His true Church, and that is why I go to St. Anthony’s in North Caldwell. I urge all Traditional Catholics to do the same, and leave the PROTESTANT NOVUS ORDO IN WEST ORANGE.

This has always been the trade-off in an orthodox religion like Roman Catholicism: the unity of belief that gives it strength leads to schism when some people don't agree. Accepting the traditional mass has not solved the problem for Rome, it seems. Some must also reject the nontraditionalists as heretics, thereby becoming heretics themselves in the eyes of Rome.

I see this as so much quibbling over deck-chair position--not on the Titanic, where it wouldn't matter, but on a rescue ship that must survive. Put that chair down and tend to the ones we are supposed to be saving!

I’m always amazed at these hubris of these Catholics who believe they are more Catholic than the Pope.
