Board Rules
I'm still contemplating the Rules for this board.
After looking at the sewage that has become the board/christian/ I think it best to delete the obvious troll posters (e.g. "The Book of Chad" and ) and those post made by Protestants who come here to spread falsehoods and rail against the Church.
I need to research if we are even allowed to try and convert Heretics, Jews and pagans. The council of Basel says we need the bishop's permission to do so, and allowing them to even ask questions may be disobedience to the Magisterium and against our faith.
I am more interested in the conversion of the low hanging fruit - other Catholics, to traditional Catholicism.
Why here?"
Why here, of all places? Because the Catholic Faith will be censored and banned just about anywhere else.
1) Sodomy is a mortal sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance.
2) Marriage is between one man and one woman and is for your entire life, no divorce!
3) Sex is God's power of Creation and for the purpose of raising children only. No contraception, no sterilization, no voluptuousness.
4) Association with Jews is forbidden.

How can you possibly convert someone who doesnt believe?
I have to rewrite this for some reason because it reset. As an Atheist who doesn't believe in the supernatural, how could you convert "heretics, Jews and Pagans"? Hell, half you guys, including your pope, simps and is a total cuck for the LGBT rainbow mafia. not to mention the amount of adultery and sex before marriage (especially women who ride the cock carousel before they become "Born Again", whatever thats supposed to mean ands spread their aids to their "husband" wich they will inevitably cheat and divorse rape) and other major degenerate activities you people push in soyciety that you Christians participate in and the general leftist cuckold ideology has done its toll on the west already. we don't need more of this vile religion, we need less. Reading John 8 for me was evident enough that Jesus was a cuckold and a simp for allowing a disease-ridden sloor walk free.
Catch 22 in the Church
From the posts in other boards, I thought that maybe real Catholics would like a board of their own. Why? Because posting in Christian is against the Catholic religion if you're not going to (a) defend the faith and (b) be there just to convert the protestants and save their souls.
The problem with protestants is that their arguments are not rational, deny most of the Teachings of Christ, and they argue in bad faith. Using logic on them is a waste of time. They are lost souls.
But, most Catholics are lost souls too. Very few will ever see heaven.
What I really wanted to discuss with real Catholics is how to bring back the lost sheep to the Catholic faith.
Say someone was baptized and the baptism is recognized as valid. After all, even a pagan can baptize you as long as he has the correct intent and does the sacrament properly. The baptized grows up outside the faith, lives like a pagan, then realizes (say by personal revelation) that the Catholic faith is the truth faith. So, he wants to join the Church.
But he's got impediments: Maybe a wife who's not catholic and not interested in being Catholic, or a child who's older and refused to be taught the catholic faith. These mortal sins are on going, and the person returning can't really resolve them. Sure, he can put out his civil marriage "wife", but his child? The Convert is outside the church until he can raise his older child catholic.
Here's the sad part: you find in the papal encyclicals where even a Pagan who has these conditions can be baptized and receive the sacrament of communion. Not the prodigal son of the Church! He must make a general confession, put out his "wife" and convert his children.
If you stop and think about it, the Church was not made to be in this position. It was made to be the prevalent religion that was always there. The Church was effectively gone for half a century. Its easier for a pagan than anyone baptized Christian.
In other news, my repeated prayers for my daughter to overcome her mental illness have been answered! She's doing much better and closer to living up to her potential! Praise be to God and the Blessed Mother who prayed for me! I am so thankful.
True Catholism
Protestants see what so called "Catholics" do and what the see turns them away from the Church.
The Catholic faith is found in the dogmas of the church. The faith has been perverted by personal revelations e.g. "Fatima" (the Mother of Christ would never thwart the will of God. That's heresy), and Mary Worship (if you pray to Mary for victory over Satan, you're worshiping Mary. The prayer goes "pray (to God) for us sinners now". The whole brown scapular cult is goes beyond heresy into blasphemy; Salvation comes from God, not Mary.
After reading wildly conflicting catechisms, I went to the source, the Dogma you are to believe. This book has most of it, tho' due to the protests of the Christ killers, the Council of Basel is omitted with a comical "the decrees of …. contain nothing new". Yet, the book contains many other times when the same teaching was repeated by the Popes again and again.
The Catechism of Thomas Aquinas is false.
The Examination of Conscience for Adults by Father Miller, which declares every temptation to be a mortal sin, has no basis in Catholic dogma.
Catholic Dogma is that mortal sins are the sins calling for a penalty of Death in the Law of Moses. God is infallible and indefectable; the law didn't change with the Word of God (Christ). What was a mortal sin before is a mortal sin NOW.
I'm a bit repulsed at the deceptions about the teachings of Christ by the Church. They drive people away from Christ with their deceit.
There are two possible reasons for claiming temptation is a mortal sin; virtue signaling and getting people to go to mass so they'll make a collect. Both are have been denounced by Jesus Christ, the very Word of God. None of these sins are founded in the teachings of the Vicar of Christ; they are a "new gospel" and are thus professed by heretics and anthemas.
Therefore I ask, where is the Church promised by Christ God? It is certainly not the FSSP, who for the sake of the use of a few churches, some quite heretical, say the forbidden words of the council of Trent: that the novus ordo mass is valid and that the Holy Eucharist may be taken in the hand, they are an anathema. The SSPV teaches the false gospel of Aquinas - which is every bit as wicked as Martin Luther's gospel, and teach the false teachings of personal revelations that do not come from the Pope that our LORD promised to inspire with the Holy Ghost. Those who teach a false gospel are anathemas.
Merry Christmas.
The FSSP did it, they became an anathema by saying that the Novus Ordo sacrilege is a valid mass, that the Mass need not be per Pope Leo and are thus under a curse, that the Roman Rite need not be in Latin (anathema per the council of Trent) and that the Holy Eucharist can be taken in the hand. In exchange they get to use Churches that have fallen into the wicked hands of the Novus Ordo. They sold their souls for some church doors!
Think this is nothing? Saint Peter was martyred because he refused to say that the Roman Emperor was a god!
It's basically about money - church property. It's just a pile of bricks.
The Sanbornist are holding mass in people's garages! That's the spirit!
The Talmud and The Summa
I was just reflecting…
The Talmud is to the Torah what the Summa is to Catholic Dogma. Both the Talmud and the Summa changed the religion for the worse. They virtue signaled their fake holiness by making everything a damnable offense.
Saint Aquinas used logic (often very bad logic) in forming the summa, just as rabbis used very bad scholarship in writing the Talmud. Both changed the underlying religion of God for the worse.
Example: while Christ summarized salvation as love of God and love of your fellow man, Aquinas invented sins against yourself. A new gospel of Saint Aquinas.
Example: the Sanhedrin while lying about Christ to Pontius Pilate, breaking the commandments of the Law of Moses not to murder and not to bear false witness, were careful not to set foot in the building where Pilate was, least they commit a sin.
I see no flaw in the true Catholic dogma, the problem is there are no Catholics
So, how to obtain the sacraments? Doesn't seem possible.
Is there a Church Left?
The novus ordo takes the Holy Eucharist in the hand, says the mass in Latin, and claims that there are other Churches of Christ other than the Catholic Church. They're an anathema per the council of Trent. To be sure, that's not something you inhale with if you has Asthma, an anthema is cursed, damned and sent to hell by Almighty God, and outside the Church.
The FSSP and now the SSPX are in communion or trying to be in communion with these false beliefs: they, too, are thus an anthema.
The SSPV and the other branch with the original mass of Trent don't keep these beliefs. But the other two say that they're not priests and bishops because they've been excommunicated.
Well, then maybe we were not worthy of the promises of Christ and there is no Church.
I don't see a path to heaven at this point. Those under Bishop Sanborn seem to have the correct faith, but under the correct faith you'd be better to be an unbaptised pagan than anyone who was properly baptized. Pagans were allowed to keep their pagan spouses. It was also a time when fathers ruled the house and could command their children to be catechized - not effective, I know, but the Church never took fault in themselves for failure to convert a kid, but they're more than willing to find fault in a parent.
There is no path to heaven.
I see people at mass looking at their phones and goofing around with the collection basket. What is this! As I'm contemplating Father's homily on the Body of Christ and the Holy Eucharist, he looks me straight in the eye and says people need to pay attention! I am paying attention! I'm lamenting that he's holding my sins and I can't take the Holy Eucharist.
I'm tired of this. I'm tired of the FSSP/SSPX making irrational, false arguments because they really want access to the Church buildings controlled by the Vatican. I'm tired of priests who think that Saint Aquinas has the keys to heaven, not Saint Peter. Saint Aquinas found everything to be a mortal sin. Nobody seems to have the actual faith.
Think about the Crucifixion.
Some of these crucifixes are rather grand and glorious. That seems wrong to me. The crucifix was an instrument created for slow and painful death as a punishment for serious crime. In thinking of it's supernatural meaning, the conclusion I've reached is that it is the physical symbol of the mortal sins of those who choose to follow Jesus the Anointed One. Christ suffers and sacrificed for the sins of His faithful.
So I don't like the grand and glorious crucifixes, embellished with gold and silver and stones. Our sins are wicked and painful for God, who is perfect and good, to endure.
Thought for the day
Thinking on your own comes with the Hermit curse.
I see these "Traditional Catholic mass" videos on YouTube. They are not the Tridentine mass, but you'd never know the difference if you didn't have a true, unchanged Tridentine mass missal and didn't speak Latin.
And these "Crisis in the Church" videos. What did they expect to happen when they sell their souls for an unlocked Church door and denied the faith?! It's pretty obvious why the FSSP and the SSPX are calling that pagan man Begoglio a "Pope"; the Pope names the bishops and the bishops hold the keys to the building.
But Saint Peter holds the keys to heaven. I'd rather the true mass and true faith in a barn than a sacrilegious mass and freemason faith in what was Saint Peter's Basilica, before it was defiled by Begoglio and his wicked idols. Now? Saint Peters will suffer the same fate of the Temple of Solomon after Solomon dragged pagan idols into it: destruction.
The Vatican is just some man made buildings, after all. It is a loss but a small one compared to the loss of heaven.
It is damning of what people who call themselves Catholic that you can buy all mannor of books on personal revelations, but no one publishes the Infallible and indefectable teachings from the Chair of Saint Peter, the word of God as guide by God the Holy Ghost to the Vicar of Christ.
It's all "fatima" this and "immaculate heart" that. These are not of God! God promised to work through his vicar. You stopped listening to God's vicar, then you don't get a true Vicar, you get Begoglio.
And the whole faith has been perverted from that held by the Magistarium to that of Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas was never guided by infallibility.
Personal Revelations: Gateway to Heresy against the Faith
The teaching of the Magisterium of the Chair of Saint Peter says there are 7 sacraments:
1) Baptism which removes all sins, original and actual.
2) Confirmation
3) Sacrament of the Mass (Holy Eucharist) which removes venial sins through priest's blessing.
4) Marriage
5) Holy Orders
6) Penance which removes confessed sins (actual sins both venial and mortal)
7) Extreme Unction which removes actual sins.
Okay then! To get to heaven, you must not have mortal sins on your soul. The sacraments are necessary to remove them.
Now, along comes "Personal revelations"! When they promise some other non-sacramental way to get around mortal sin and go to heaven without confession, they're Heresy. The Delores rosary is such a heresy; you are not forgiven mortal sin because you pray this rosary. That is of the devil. You have to repent, confess, and do penance.
This kind of falling of the faith, and so many priest promote this heresy, is why the Church was destroyed by the wrath of God. There is no path to heaven except for the one Lord Jesus Christ provided by his sacrifice on the cross. The Keys to Heaven were given to Saint Peter and his legitimate successor who are guided by God the Holy Ghost.
Father called upon us to say this Rosary before mass. It seemed strange to me and was never mentioned in any Catholic Catechism. As we got into the Rosary it quickly seemed an abomination to me: for every one of Christ's sufferings, we are to lament the pain of his poor mother! What?! She did not sweat blood in the Garden of Gethesemane! We should be lamenting the suffering Christ endured for his love of us to save us! No wonder protestants get confused and think Catholics worship Mary; because some heretical Catholics do worship Mary.
For this the Church is being chastised and handed over to Satan.
I want my Church back
The faithful are attracted to the Catholic religion as it is written.
Then they are driven away by heresy. The problem is, no one practices the Catholic religion, the true Church of Christ the Lord, anymore. We are like the jews after Babylon; corrupt and wicked and we pretend to be holy by making false rules.
The Novus Ordo simply ignores the Catholic religion.
The FSSP teaches both the Novus Ordo and the Catholic religion but adds the false rules, and let each in the parish choose what to believe like a protestant. Bergoglio is now demanding that all in the FSSP renounce the Catholic faith and say that the Novus Ordo supper service is a valid mass, and to say it is brings damnation upon you by the decree of the Council of Trent.
The SSPX like their founder Archbishop Lefebvre has lost their courage and defy their very reason for being, saying Bergoglio is Pope. If Bergoglio is Pope then they are excommunicated. If Bergoglio isn't Pope then they are heretics dealing with the devil.
The SPPV is probably closest; their mass is slightly tainted with the wickedness of the Freemason Bugnini but you could argue Bugnini didn't change the wording of the mass itself, just the music. Besides, they find it credible that Pope Pius XII (a weak Pope but the last true Pope) didn't mean to change the mass and Bugnini changed it on his own and faked the Pope's approval. I'm not sure how the SSPV comes down on the False Rules; e.g. saying that Saint Thomas Aquinas defines the faith and not the Magisterium of the Church. They are different. Saint Aquinas is not infallible. Saint Aquinas uses logic based on premises that are his assumptions because no human mind can understand the Trinity or the entirety of God creation. And as logic, his teachings are open to logical questioning of premises and soundness. Many times he simply makes a non-sequitur.
The Sanbornist have no charity and are fully into a kind of Baptist Hellfire and Damnation perversion of the faith. For example, They claim that not saying enough prayers every day is a mortal sin; no where is that declared a mortal sin by the Chair of Saint Peter. They made that up! What's worse is that they will refuse the sacraments if you keep confessing the same sin. I heard Sanborn preach this heresy himself! He denies the word of Christ for the sake of his own apparent piety, which was the root of wickedness of the Sadducees. After watching the antics going on in a Sanbornist mass where they were playing games with the collection baskets I wonder; no one can live up to Sanborn's claims that everything is a mortal sin (even working a day job without dedicating it to God is a mortal sin) can these people be serious? They can't take mass seriously! Do I think they make honest confessions since the confession line is so short? One or two a week?
I don't know where the Church is
Beliefs like the "brown Scapular" or Fatima are flat out heresy. The Mother of God would never come to earth and tell you by wearing a scrap of cloth, she will save you from hell. No way! That is against the teachings of the church and is heresy! Even Paganism! No way would the Mother of God come to earth and say that she has stayed the God's Justice from the hand of God! No way! That doesn't even make sense: she is Mother to God Jesus Christ the Lord, not to the God the Father Almighty, not to God the Holy Ghost. Nor can the faithful be chastised because some Pope didn't consecrate a bunch of godless murderous Marxist to God. Makes no sense. And the "Third Prophesy"; no one knows for sure what that is. The false Popes have destroyed it. People are guessing what it is. And like the merchants in the temple, a Fatima industry has been created to preach the religion of Fatima with the goal of making money.
Too often the Church has allowed personal revelations to replace the teachings of the Magisterium. The Lord God Jesus Christ gave the keys to heaven to Saint Peter when his church was established, not to Saint Thomas Aquinas, and not to his mother!'
Saint Aquinas teaches on faith in his catechism, and Saint Pope Pius X teaches another faith in the Catechism of the Church. The faith says with infallibility and indefectability that where the Magisterium and a saint differ, the saint is wrong. Too much of the faith is being taught by saint's and their personal beliefs; e.g. only a tiny few go to heaven. They can't know that, or if they do, it is not part of the faith and cannot be taught as if it was.
Traditionis Custodes
Seems "Pope" Francis is trying to destroy the true Latin mass. Well, not true, as they purges the prayer for the wicked Jews from the mass in 1962 and added Saint Joseph to the prayers (which they did just to show that they could change the mass) and thus brought damnation upon themselves.
Freemason infiltrators like Bergoglio will, eventually, rub out any remnant of the Catholic Faith. The True faith teaches us that anyone what so ever changes as much as one word of the Roman Rite they are an anathema; outside the church, cursed by God Almighty, and you're not to associate with them.
That's why I left the FSSP; they associate with the Pope and will not renounce the false belief that the Novus Ordo "mass" is valid. It is not. It brings a curse upon you.
Same can be said about the SSPX under it's current leadership. The SSPX wants to be in communion with the anti-pope.
I think the only Hope and last remnant of the church lies in the SSPV. I heard Father Jenkins say something that intrigued me.
Reminder that personal revelations, e.g. Fatima, "Immaculate Heart" etc are worthy of belief but not part of the faith that must be believed. Too much of these personal revelations have replaced the teachings of the Magisterium of the Church. We are suffering this calamity of the Church because we lost too much of the faith. We have to repent and get back to the true beliefs brought to us by the Holy Ghost through the Magisterium and so without fear of offending the wicked of this era or persecution of the state via taxation of churches and other persecutions.
Closest to the true Catholic faith
It's not just saying the Latin mass properly. The N.O. mass is just the most outrageous sign of heresy.
There's the rest of the faith as well e.g. the FSSP are forced to say that the N.O. is a valid mass when it is clearly heresy. They've compromised the faith, and I suspect it is so they can use churches in the N.O. bishop's control.
Many Catholic priests became martyrs rather than bend the knee to the wicked King Henry VIII and become sin loving Anglicans. I know of just one FSSP priest who refused the false N.O. under Bergoglio.
Baptism of Desire is FALSE
Baptism of Desire is a FALSE Doctrine
John 1:5 5 Jesus answered:Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
The council of Trent, Seventh Session, Cannon II on Baptism:
CANON II. -If any one saith, that true and natural water is not of necessity for baptism, and, on that account, wrests, to some sort of metaphor, those words of our Lord Jesus Christ; Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost; let him be anathema.
Baptism must have water. Ergo, Baptism of Blood and Baptism of Desire are false doctrines. The sacrament requires the substance, which is water, and the words.
So much of "Church teaching" is false and not of the Church. Even a Saint cannot contradict or change the infallible and indefectable teachings of the Magistrum of the Holy Mother church. We've forgotten what offends modern sensibilities and we have fabricated false teachings.
There is but one Litany, the Litany of the Holy Ghost.
Confused by different Catechisms?
I was reading different catechisms and became confused as they often differed in matters of fact. So, what is the official dogma of the Catholic Church?
You'll find that in Father Denzinger's "Sources of Catholic Dogma".
This book has a Systematic Index in the back which gives the Church teaching with a cite to the source. The bulk of the book is Papal approved Church councils and Papal bulls which is the Dogma. This is most of what Catholic must believe.
I say most because it omits the Council of Basel, which was last part of the Council of Florence.
Ideal Rosary
I admit my aesthetic sense is not very good, but I like the idea of this rosary.
The Hail Mary beads are blue, the color of the Blessed Virgin. But I think it would be better if they were light blue.
The Our Father beads are nearly white. The other color of Our Lady is white and indicates purity.
I like the Saint Benedict cross. It reminds us of the sacrifice. While I get the artistic intent of other crosses, this reminds us of the sacrifice of our Lord.
The center has a depiction of the Blessed Virgin on one side, and the three tears and keys of Saint Peter which is the crest of the FSSP, on the reverse. The Rosary is Our Lady's so it is good that the center is about the Blessed virgin. What is your idea of a good rosary?
Was the The 1958 Mass Invalid?
The Mass was Changed in September 1958
https://www.ccwatershed.org/pdfs/7605-de-musica-sacra-et-sacra-liturgia/download/
Pope Pius XII died a month later.
Cardinal Bugnini was most likely a Freemason or worse. He would later gloat the the changes he made to the eternal Mass of the Council of Trent was the bridge to the heretical Novus Ordo mass.
I'm not sure I believe that Pope Pius XII approved this mass or could approve it, given the proximity of his death.
Anti-Sedevacantism in the Age of Bergoglio
This is a video by the late Rev. Anthony Cekada, a Sedevacantist, making his argument against Pope Francis being a true pope.
I was having problems reconciling the Sede position with Vatican ONE.
Seems that a clear heresy, like dragging that filthy Pachamama idol before the alter of God like Bergoglio did, doesn't require a "trial"; Vatican 1 is based on the fact that such a public heretic is excommunicated and removed from the Papacy by God.
The Council of Basel
In this Church Council, the Holy Mother Church instructs the faithful in regard to dealing with Jews, pagans and Heretics (e.g. Protestants). This is an indefectable and infallable teaching of the Church.
[Decree on Jews and neophytes]
The holy general synod of Basel, legitimately assembled in the holy Spirit, representing the universal church, for an everlasting record. This holy synod following in the footsteps of our saviour Jesus Christ, desires in deepest charity that all may acknowledge the truth of the gospel and thereafter abide in it faithfully. By these salutary instructions it desires to provide measures whereby Jews and other infidels may be converted to the orthodox faith and converts may remain steadfastly in it. It therefore decrees that all diocesan bishops should depute persons well trained in scripture, several times a year, in the places where Jews and other infidels live, to preach and expound the truth of the catholic faith in such a way that the infidels who hear it can recognize their errors. They should compel infidels of both sexes who have reached the age of discretion, to attend these sermons under pain both of being excluded from business dealings with the faithful and of other apposite penalties. But the bishops and the preachers should behave towards them with such charity as to gain them for Christ not only by the manifestation of the truth but also by other kindnesses. The synod decrees that Christians of whatever rank or status who in any way impede the attendance of Jews at these sermons, or who forbid it, automatically incur the stigma of being supporters of unbelief.
Since this preaching will be more fruitful in proportion to the linguistic skill of the preachers, we decree that there must be faithful observance of the constitution of the council of Vienne, which ordered the provision in certain universities of teachers of the Hebrew, Arabic, Greek and Chaldean languages. So that this may be more adhered to, we wish that the rectors of these universities should add to what they swear to on taking office, that they will endeavour to observe the said constitution. It should be clearly laid down, at the councils of the provinces in which these universities are situated, that the teachers of the said languages are to be adequately recompensed.
Furthermore, renewing the sacred canons, we command both diocesan bishops and secular powers to prohibit in every way Jews and other infidels from having Christians, male or female, in their households and service, or as nurses of their children; and Christians from joining with them in festivities, marriages, banquets or baths, or in much conversation, and from taking them as doctors or agents of marriages or officially appointed mediators of other contracts. They should not be given other public offices, or admitted to any academic degrees, or allowed to have on lease lands or other ecclesiastical rents. They are to be forbidden to buy ecclesiastical books, chalices, crosses and other ornaments of churches under pain of the loss of the object, or to accept them in pledge under pain of the loss of the money that they lent. They are to be compelled, under severe penalties, to wear some garment whereby they can be clearly distinguished from Christians. In order to prevent too much intercourse, they should be made to dwell in areas, in the cities and towns, which are apart from the dwellings of Christians and as far distant as possible from churches. On Sundays and other solemn festivals they should not dare to have their shops open or to work in public.

Comment: if we had follow Church teaching, we wouldn't be Sodom 2.0 today. Remember, God made his commandments out of love for us, not because he's making irrational demands. God gave us the Church because of his love for us, and guides the church to do things that, to our small intellects, may seem "smart" but will lead to the loss of many souls.
Few are Chosen for Heaven
In this video, Father Altman reminds us that there are few who go to heaven.
Luke 6:36-49
Judging Others
37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
41 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
Some Lent Reading
What are you reading for Lent?
You don't have to do any reading for Lent, but this book is very good and on topic. Father Gorman tells us the context of what was known so long ago and are not included in the Gospels. It helps us to remember the Sacrifice of Our Lord.
Has 1959 Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.
Father Anthony Cekada, Sedevacantism
I came to the same conclusions right up to about 35:30 where they talk about electing a new Pope, having decided that the seat is empty.
Faterh Cekada says that there is no need to judge a heretical Pope, because such a Pope is already judged.
Okay, but that's dogging the question: if you believe there is no Pope, the church is required to hold a conclave and elect a new Pope to fill the seat.
There has been as many as 3 Popes at once for even smaller reasons than denying that there's a Catholic God, who are an anthema for changing the cannon of the mass, who put the Holy Mother Church on the same level as half naked Pagans, who have dragged Pagan idols before the alter of God (which destroys the alter and it must be re-sanctified), for denying that the Holy Mother Church is the One True Faith and that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, etc.
The Church needs a true pontiff least you get the present crisis where there are all sorts of factions of traditional Catholics trying to deal with the problem.
Taking apart "Once Saved, Always Saved"
Bishop Sanborn teaches on Fear of God. In his talk, he totally debunks the view that many protestants have (that don't fear the LORD) that they are certain to go to heaven, and he uses scripture to do it.
Protestants can't the truth, which is why the hate and censor Good Catholics.
Ecclesiastical Latin vs Classical Pronunciation
Luke Ranieri, who is gifted in the ability to speak many languages, discusses some of the differences between "Classical" and Ecclesiastical (Church) Latin.
If you're going to follow the Priest in the Roman missal, it is good to know Ecclesiastical Latin.
Protestant Heretics
Just a reminder that Protestants are not able to defend their religion against the truth of the one true church established by Jesus Christ.
There are 2000 different Protestant religions, some that are "almost right" and on the extreme end, those that are straight out of Sodom and Gomorrah.
What they all have in common is a love of sin.
Anglicans wanted to divorce and remarry as well as looting the Church
Martin Luther wanted to marry a nun, allowed bigamy and was funded by German princes and their diabolical bids for power.
Some didn't want to do "good works"
Most wanted to sin without having to confess or repent.
You can't reason with them; like most people, they are swayed by their bias into believing what they want, and what they want is sin. Then they abuse reason to rationalize it - some passage where the Lord says "Go and sin no more" becomes just "Go", a passage that says "not by works alone" becomes "you don't need to do works at all". Their ability to both say "sola scriptura and then deny scripture itself shows a very discombobulated mind. Most of them are not just Christians who don't know about the true faith, they're lost souls clinging to the lies of Satan.
Only the Catholic Church considers the whole Bible, Apostolic tradition and objective fact as sources of revelation and have produced one true faith.
And the fact is, every sin declared by God is forbidden for your own good and well being, as well as for your entry into heaven.
There is no clear path to heaven for protestants, and you can't convert them. Remember, if you could pray for their salvation, the wickedness of Protestantism would have ended 500 years ago. They don't want to be saved, they believe they can love both God and sin.

He was a devoted Catholic and leaves behind 7 children.
Pray and contribute if you can to help his family in times of need.
Species of Traditional Catholics
These are the four traditional Catholic orders that I know exist.
This is my best understanding
correct me if I'm wrong
The FSSP(330 Priests) is probably the largest in America in terms of where you can get to for a Latn Mass, as some of their parishes share with the novus ordo. The FSSP is in communion with Rome. The work under a Novus Ordo bishop. Bishops own the deed to the Church. They encourage tradition but will agree to the new beliefs e.g. will encourage abstinence and fasting on every Friday but if you want to go by the new Novus ordo rules, that's okay.

The SSPX(680 Priests) is largest world wide. Both the SSPV and FSSP are split offs of the SSPX founded by Archbishop Lefvere

SSPV(not sure how many) split from the SSPX. IMHO, their theology is not wrong. They are open to the possibility of sedevancanism. I particularly like Father Jenkins.

There's also Latin Mass said by Novus Ordo priest. Father Altman is rather famous for speaking out for the traditional Church. He's the priest who did the "You can't be Catholic and vote Democrat" speech.
Which one do you go to, and why?
Follow Along in Mass with a missal!
What missal do you use?
I mean, which 1962 missal that most Latin Mass Catholic use? (I know one branch of Trad Catholics use the 1958 missal)
Usually I use the Father Lansance "The New Roman Missal".
It's strong points are that it explains the mass at the beginning of the book and how to use the missal.
I find it much harder to follow that my red "Latin-English Booklet Missal" because Father Lansance's missal lumps the High Mass, Low Mass and Mass of the Dead all together in the same Ordinary of the Mass (the part said in every High, Low and Requiem mass). So you jump around a bit in the Ordinary, and sometimes in the Proper of the mass it will mention prayers to be included in the mass but aren't the Proper.
The "Latin-English Booklet" series has a separate book for the requiem mass. it doesn't include the propers but you usually find that in the Church bulletin. Sadly, that usually English only no Latin. It's also larger type, which makes it better for reading if you have glasses and have to wear a covid mask. It's lighter and smaller. Its also one of the missals found in the pews of my parish, so I am hesitant to bring my copy least someone think I'm taking it. I've been considering buying a box of them and just leaving the Red missal in the pew after mass.
Is the Saint Andrew Missal Better?
Father Lansance is good for learning about the mass and I recommend it. I see many with the Saint Andrew Missal.
Purgatory and how not to be there.
So you died with no mortal sin on your soul, but you still have the punishment in purgatory for your sins that prevents you from going straight to heaven. You will go to heaven, of course. Eventually. You don't want to be in purgatory at all, much less "that guy" who's been there the longest that the Church Militant (the living Church, not the organization that goes by that name) prays for on Sunday
Well, by following the Indulgences in the Raccolta you can cut down your time in temporal punishment.
I must have read. Get your soul all nice and clean by confession, contrition and penance and then work on that time out you don't want to get by saying the rosary, the Little Office and other acts that grant indulgences.
