Honest Question for everyone, given in charity and looking for honesty. What does VII council teach as a dogmatic truth that I as a Catholic must believe to in communion?

@Defendthewest17 It’s like poetry, it rhymes

George Lucas revived the monomyth for a new generation by wrapping it in a Flash Gordon-style pulp space adventure. He paired it with John William’s Wagnerian opera score complete with some of the most imaginative visuals ever put on screen. Just pure cinematic magic that has reshaped our culture forever.

@MarkLazerus The Last Jedi is equivalent to having an iq of 110 and being convinced you are a genius.

Star Wars, correctly ranked:

@HarrierMagnus I think I might like Francis more so far. Plenty of time though, so I’m praying for Leo.

Pope Leo is already clearly better than Francis in two respects: 1. Vastly better liturgical sensibilities 2. Leo seems to want to be kind to people. In particular, he shows great kindness to priests. Francis often seemed to treat priests with disdain, especially young priests.

@Ring__The_Bell Beta!!

@matthew_sede Fr. Bold if was not SSPX since the 80s. He was an independent priest. But it is true that the SSPX believes that Paul VI was pope.

Fr. Denis with the smackdown: I met with Fr. Hector Bolduc (SSPX) and he said to me, ‘Do you believe that Paul VI is the pope?’ and I said, ‘No, do you?’ He said yes, and I said, ‘Why don’t you obey him then?’

@poperespecter1 Are you actually a Protestant? This is some weak stuff man. Taking away the rood screen after Trent is a long ways away from instituting a brand new liturgy based on antiquarianism which became the NO.

I can't believe Vatican 2 took away the rood screens.

@poperespecter1 I attend Mass as often as possible, including my Sunday obligation. The point still stands.

@b_bmarlin I am guessing you have not been to a regular Catholic Church recently. No parish does Eagles wings for the last 20 years. Do you even attend mass?

I was reading a book on the early church (written in 1915) and came across this paragraph regarding the liturgy of the 4th century. It reads exactly like the Novus Ordo liturgy. The Novus Ordo is not new it is in many ways more ancient than most other liturgies.

@poperespecter1 Not many of those. And the music makes a difference, “On Eagles Wings” probably wasn’t as popular in 350AD. And the whole argument is Protestant at heart anyhow.

@b_bmarlin A reverent novus ordo is very close to the 4th century mass as is shown from St Cyril.

@BeSaintly I’ve been to so many.

That I’ve never once experienced an irreverent Novus Ordo. I’ve been to many different parishes in my state and outside of it.

@Tom_McGovern_72 @TLM_Ryan Many families at the local chapel are third generation,

@TLM_Ryan Don't feel bad. You're no different than Calvinists, Muslims or Hindus who also have the second generation problem. For the lurkers, how many second generation SSPXers can you name on X?

I googled it. Says they just get more radical. Guess that steak was too juicy 🤣

@FrMatthewLC Yeah, it is just you.

Maybe it's just me, but describing the harrowing of Hell as "an acid trip" makes me much less excited about Gibson's Resurrection movie.

@BreeSolstad But that is obvious. It is extremely important to emphasize how much it is hurting the souls of men in particular.

It’s ruining young women just as much.

@MythoMAGA @Howlingmutant0 Pro-Epstein?!? Who the fuck is pro-Epstein?

Ok, whether you’re pro- or anti-Epstein, I think there’s one thing we can all agree on: This photo goes hard as hell. They look like they’re about to drop the most revolutionary synth pop album of all time.

@huge_nibley Mormonism is retarded.

The Daily Wire peaked five years ago. For like two years, I listened to Matt Walsh every day. Ben Shapiro 3-4 times a week. Andrew Klavan on the weekends. Michael knowles when the others were on vacation. I used to set aside time to watch the backstage events. They promised harder hitting journalism and investigations… not just breaking down NYPost stories ‘journalism.’ Instead they started making movies, cartoons, selling cigars, razors, and chocolate. Once they switched from news and mainstreaming conservative views to “Hey, buy stuff from us,” I knew it was over. I stopped listening, but kept my subscription alive out of loyalty or whatever— kinda always hoping they’d course correct. Their producers hating on Mormons is just the icing on the cake for me. The Daily Wire played an integral role in a weird time for me as I developed my political views. So I’m honestly sad this is where they are now, but it’s not surprising.

@holysmoke @RorateCaeli Surely not, you need to have a better understanding of this situation for someone of your reach.

@RorateCaeli If so, surely they’d have joined the FSSP or some other traditionalist body.

This is such an obvious misreading of the situation. The SSPX wants to consecrate bishops who – rightly or wrongly – repudiate the Second Vatican Council. Leo was never going to agree to that. Nor was any other Pope since the Council.

@ProudBavaria Couldn’t you have made the green purple and say the ERE?!?

This is the natural categorisation of Europe. No politics. No nonsense!

@Liam15789932 @EMichaelJones1 When did this happen? How can I find it?

@EMichaelJones1 You have never gotten over being humiliated by Michael Davies have you?

Are Jews calling the shots at the SSPX? According to the SSPX, the gates of hell have prevailed against the Church Christ founded: according to SSPX spokesman Father Pagliarani “in an ordinary parish, the faithful no longer find the means necessary to ensure their eternal salvation.” Extra SSPX nulla salus. “The problem with this framing — indeed with the SSPX’s conception of dialogue,” writes The Pillar’s Ed Condon, 'is that it tries to pitch the society as both a true expression and member of the Catholic communion under the authority of the pope and, at the same time, when necessary, autonomous, and a kind of legitimate interpreter of doctrine apart from the Holy See." Father Pagliarani is correct though when he says: "In the shared recognition that we cannot find agreement on doctrine, it seems to me that the only point on which we can agree is that of charity toward souls and toward the Church." Charity toward souls demands that the Church draw a clear line between those in the Church and those outside her, because there is no salvation outside of the Church. That means the faithful should leave the SSPX immediately lest they be damned. The Pillar continues: “In that situation, Leo’s refusal to meet with Pagliarani has come under repeated fire. Surely — the argument has been made by supporters of the society — if the pope had a real concern for avoiding a canonical act of schism by the SSPX leadership, he would want to press his plea for restraint in person? “But a different assessment of the situation might conclude that, in fact, Leo’s refusal to meet with Pagliarani is an act of mercy — and an ultimate expression of the pope’s hope that reconciliation might still be possible. … “According to John Paul, ‘this act was one of disobedience to the Roman Pontiff in a very grave matter and of supreme importance for the unity of the Church, such as is the ordination of bishops whereby the apostolic succession is sacramentally perpetuated. Hence such disobedience — which implies in practice the rejection of the Roman primacy — constitutes a schismatic act.’ “As to the idea of a meeting between Pope Leo and Pagliarani, the priest has already made it clear, in writing to Cardinal Fernandez, the SSPX cannot and will not accept that the Vatican’s position that ‘the texts of the Council cannot be corrected, nor can the legitimacy of the liturgical reform be challenged,’ and thus ‘we cannot find agreement on doctrine.’ “In fact, the division is so acute that Pagliarani has affirmed in a recent interview that he believes it is a ‘fact that, in an ordinary parish, the faithful no longer find the means necessary to ensure their eternal salvation.’ … “It is because, according to Pagliarani, the means of salvation are not available in normal parishes that the SSPX must continue. And the SSPX cannot continue its self-ascribed ministry unless it has priests, which it cannot continue to ordain unless it has bishops to ordain them. “QED, because the Church’s ordinary ministry is salvifically ineffective, the society is justified in whatever means it chooses to continue its work. To concede ground on any of the points would be to undermine the entire rationale of the SSPX’s current self-articulation.” pillarcatholic.com/p/why-leo-wont…
