And the winner of today's competition is whoever can make the golden word MODERNISM out of his four letters! This bloke with the Latin name thinks he's clever. Do your own research matey. It's on a 50-part YT series and laid out on the FSPPX website.

I will admit, the SSPX and some of its supporters here are doing a terrible job at defending the Consecrations. These vague general claims of a crisis aren't helping. Explain in detail why there is one and give a Canonical defense of the Society.

@decontroversiis Mothers and fathers can wander into a field by mistake and fall into a pool of cow shit mate. They are still there, aren't they? The Church is always spotless, the human beings running it are not.

@BCJCarter But then your mother is not the spotless bride of Christ, nor your father is an infallible teacher. Either you are wrong, or they are not your parents.

At times, being a Catholic today is like living with a once-beautiful mother who has turned into a lying, alcoholic hag; & a father who used to love reading you bedtime stories but is now a uncaring abuser. You know you cannot leave. You love them and hate them at the same time.

Catholic → Catholic: What’s your baptismal name, and which saint are you named after? Mine is Teresa — after St. Teresa of Calcutta. 🤍

Take your lariat and go rope yourself. I am not a cowboy. Those hats and endless baked beans.

@BCJCarter Being Catholic is following Jesus Christ true beliefs. It has NOTHING to do with other people or your congregations shitty liberal beliefs. "Take up your cross and follow Me" -Matthew 16:24-25 Jesus SAID it would be HARD! Have Faith. Cowboy up.

This about Father Marc Hanappier is worrying: "In 2020, having been appointed professor at the seminary in Dillwyn, Virginia, he first spent a year in Scotland perfecting his command of English ...". 😂 With apologies to all fellow Britons of Jock extraction!

@Orchidoptera That's what I do, to be honest. With Christ first of all. And with the Church in my heart always and physically when I need to (Sacraments). And don't worry about anything anymore.

@FrUgochukwu Rubbish. It is NOT a thing to be undertaken lightly but for 1,900 years it didn't really touch on "ecclesial communion and apostolic union" at all. The Society has major problems with 3-4 documents of Vatican II, and so should you.

This is deeply concerning. Episcopal consecration without papal mandate touches the very heart of ecclesial communion and apostolic unity. You cannot claim fidelity and respect to the supreme authority of the universal Church and Chair of Peter while acting independently of the authority entrusted to that same Chair in matters as serious as the appointment of bishops. Let us pray for the Church.

JUST IN: SSPX Announces Four Priests to Be Consecrated as Bishops on July 1: dianemontagna.substack.com/p/sspx-announc… In a statement released today at 2:32pm (Rome), the SSPX said the four priests are: Father Pascal Schreiber, of Swiss nationality; Father Michael Goldade, of American nationality; Father Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, of French nationality; Father Marc Hanappier, of French nationality. “In a spirit of respect toward the supreme authority of the universal Church, the dossiers of these priests were presented to the Holy Father, together with certain explanations necessary for a proper understanding of this step, within the very particular and exceptional context of these episcopal consecrations,” the statement added.

@NiwaLimbu1988 Neither of these applies to Fr. Schreiber. He is pastorally experienced and gifted, and not an intellectual (in the sense of someone living in an ivory tower). Msgr. Williamson belonged to a different (higher) league.

Initial thoughts: The Bishop-Elects for the SSPX do seem to be Academic heavy (Like the Late Bishop Williamson) rather than pastorally experienced. While generally the lack of pastoral experience may raise an eyebrow, this may soften the fear from the more traditional camp of the SSPX and the Resistance as it seems none of Bishop-Elects come from a bureaucratic SSPX background (such as Bishop Fellay who was the Busar for the SSPX after he was ordained a priest)
Niwa Limbu@NiwaLimbu1988

SSPX Update 46.0: The SSPX has announced the names of the 4 new Bishops. More to come via @RealAdVaticanum Father Pascal Schreiber, of Swiss nationality; Father Michael Goldade, of American nationality; Father Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, of French nationality; Father Marc Hanappier, of French nationality.

Yes, spot on SR.
Salve Regina@SalveReginaaaa

@NiwaLimbu1988 Choosing academically heavy bishops rather than administrative ones reassures traditionalists that the SSPX is prioritizing the defense of Catholic doctrine over corporate bureaucracy or diplomatic compromises with modern Rome. VIVA CRISTO REY!!!!⚜️

@BCJCarter You should give your faith up in Jesus Christ and our church because you are butt hurt about the pope. OR understand we all sin, we have had horrible popes before and will again. This is earth not heaven, SUCK IT UP. I'm 52 and hope to see many shitty popes before i die.

I'm getting older, the fire has died a bit. I'd hoped for talks between Rome and the FSPPX, hoped for an end to conflict, for peace. But for that, the "bridge builder" (Pontifex) has to be just that. Unfortunately he doesn't appear to want to build bridges with Catholics.

This Encyclical of Pope Leo needs to be read fully (I haven't yet), then thought about, then prayed on, before a single word of commentary is made. We all do it, I know. Read a Tweet that says this & that, take it as serious commentary, and that's one's mind made up.
