'Authority' For 50 years, the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) has been requesting an audience with the Vatican to discuss efforts to modernize the Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. They have pushed for this dialogue during the papacies of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, but have been denied. Now, during the papacy of Leo XVIII, things have come to a head. They will likely be excommunicated from the Catholic Church on the first day of July after consecrating new bishops within their society outside the authority of the Holy See. The SSPX seems prepared to accept this excommunication and does not appear to be particularly troubled by it. Does excommunication from the Church mean they will also be separated from Jesus? If not, why would excommunication be viewed as a threat?

@RFTeague @TaylorRMarshall Please answer my question, Robert. Is there any communion that this more important than the communion of the Holy Spirit incarnate in us?

@According2_Sam @TaylorRMarshall It certainly isn’t Catholic ecclesiology.

If the SSPX is excommunicated in July, will they still be in communion with the Catholic Church?

@RFTeague @TaylorRMarshall Reformed? It’s orthodox theology. It’s all over the Acts of the Apostles, beginning in chapter 2. Many who believed were filled with the Holy Spirit immediately once they believed. How can any other communion be more important than that?

@According2_Sam @TaylorRMarshall Classic reformed theology. Catholics see communion differently.

@SenatorWarnock I bet that teenager that took your dad’s seat was raised by Democrats. 😃

My father had to give up his bus seat. Now his son sits in a Senate seat.

@standev9 @TaylorRMarshall @okeyezealah I suppose this gets to the heart of the reason they have a problem with V2.

@TaylorRMarshall @okeyezealah People claim? The Catholic Church teaches that: "men who believe in Christ and have been truly baptized are in communion with the Catholic Church even though this communion is imperfect" Unitatis redintegratio

@standev9 @TaylorRMarshall @okeyezealah @grok where does this quote come from?

@TaylorRMarshall It doesn’t matter! Because it’s communion with the Holy Spirit that is important, and the Catholic Church doesn’t control who has communion with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is sovereign and He chooses whom He wants to have communion with.

Explain why you answered the way you did: Yes Partial Commuion Yes Full Commuion No Commuion whatsoever

@Terpin_ @Padres Horrible!

@Padres None of these wins feel satisfying. None of our big names are doing anything… Just free outs.

Mama, that's a bad man.

@the_jefferymead You missed this part. Lemon had a liberal white woman and a younger black man call into his show. The younger black guy says all white people see all black people as n*ggers, and she agreed, not realizing that she is admitting that she sees all black people as n*ggers.

Don Lemon needs to be quiet. There is no real comparison between Jim Crow and race relations in 2026. He’s trying to shame Wesley Hunt for seeing reality and understanding history. Nope, not going for it. Anyone with eyes and a basic understanding of history can see how full of crap Lemon is.

@the_jefferymead Democrats aren’t good for anyone accept immigrants and trans people.

Democrats weren't good for black people in the 1880s and they're not good for black people now.

@AnnieAndrewsMD @JJFan18 @grok how old is Jim Clyburn, how long has he been in Congress, and what improvements were made in his district in that time because of him?

If Republicans erase Jim Clyburn’s district, I will do everything in my power to help Democrats flip every last one of South Carolina’s newly-drawn districts. And that’s a promise.

@TaylorRMarshall The Prophecy of St. Malachy is still very much in play. Who would have thought that the first American would be the end.

"Young men are becoming Catholic by reading the Church Fathers and looking for moral certitude...now go ahead and drape the altar with a rainbow flag and have the Vatican approve same-sex blessings.

It’s sad you believe this, but it’s not true. The number is probably closer to the reverse. 10% would take his side, just like only about 10% of white people are currently talking his side, if that. Most white people, and most black people, don’t even know who that dude is, because they are not chronically online, and they are busy living their lives, raising families, going to church, and working on their craft. Only a deviant would support someone intentionally offending random people on the streets for content, and it doesn’t matter what color they are.

@MajToure I said “just about every” I think 90% Democrat qualifies

If Chud was Black, just about every black person would take his side without question. White people don’t think like that, which is our greatest strength and weakness. We hold ourselves to higher account. But in a world of competing tribes, loyalty may outweigh quality.

@GovPressOffice I watched you and Jesuit Jerry destroy this beautiful state with my own eyes for two decades, and now with 6 months to go in your disastrous reign you are trying to polish the turd and pad your resume so you can run for president. 🙄 Give me a break!

I, GAVIN CRISTOPHER NEWSOM, AM MAKING THE LARGEST ONE-TIME INVESTMENT IN SPECIAL EDUCATION IN CALIFORNIA’S 175 YEAR HISTORY!!!!! I AM MAKING IT IN HONOR OF OUR PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, IN RESPONSE TO HIS DISGUSTING ATTACKS ON PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES (INCLUDING MY LEARNING DISABILITY, DYSLEXIA!) THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — Governor GCN

@Pontifex Why don’t you ever post about Jesus?

What kind of world are we leaving behind? Unfortunately, it is a world distorted by war and war-like language. This pollution of reason comes from the geopolitical sphere and invades every social relationship. Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected, especially in universities, through complexity of thought and wise exercise of memory.

NO BUDGET DEFICIT IN CALIFORNIA! I ALONE FIXED IT. ART OF THE DEAL! ANNOUNCEMENT IS MAY 14 AT 10:30AM. — Governor GCN

@KillaKreww I’m so embarrassed by how fragile black people are. It’s sad.

Waka Flocka CONFRONTED Jake Paul over wanting to do BLACKFACE in response to Druski’s Erika Kirk skit and educated him on why it’s WRONG and can’t be considered funny 😳👀 “Grandma of people might have experienced that torture ..nobody experienced torture with white face “

@TaylorRMarshall It’s bigger than the liturgy, and you know it!

Bishops' conferences can't even agree on date of Ascension, Corpus Christi, or Chrism Mass… But the 1962 Mass is “against unity”?

@grok @Pontifex Where Mary’s title of the Queen of Heaven come from?

In Catholic theology, Mary (mother of Jesus) holds the title "Queen of Heaven" as a devotional honorific tied to her role in the Church—distinct from any pagan deity. Inanna (Sumerian/Akkadian goddess, linked to Ishtar) was indeed called "Queen of Heaven" in ancient Mesopotamian texts, associated with love, war, and fertility. They're separate figures from different eras and belief systems. The "personification" claim comes from comparative mythology or fringe theories, not historical or doctrinal equivalence. No evidence shows direct continuity.

Mary is the Mother of the whole Church. Everyone can turn to her with filial confidence, certain of being heard, protected, and loved. #GeneralAudience
