Hosted by the Serra Clubs of the Diocese of Allentown “The greatest thing you get to do is feed District I-80, the dinner drew God’s people, and you get to feed them an estimated 200 guests and with the greatest gift ever.” priests. After thanking the Serrans for their prayers and support of seminarians and priests, Father Bortz said the “yes” of the newly ordained men was not to go to the seminary but to a calling to the priesthood of Jesus Christ. “Your formation gave you answers when God questioned your commitment, and the sacred chrism on your hands was you telling the world that you’re ‘all in,’” he said. “And nothing aggravated Satan more.” Recalling the terroristic attacks on 9/11, he told the guests that the prince of darkness directed the tragic day.

  • El Estado Mental De Monseñor Thuc
    ESCRITO TOMADO DEL BLOG SURSUM CORDA PUBLICADO ALLI EL Miércoles, 29 de marzo de 2017 El estado mental del Arzobispo Thuc Nota introductoria Presentamos en Sursum Corda este artículo, publicado en 1994 y cuyo autor es el P. Clarence Kelly. La traducción al español fue realizada por la señora Claudia Caputo (como figura al final del mismo) en el año 2002. El artículo es bastante extenso y ocupa unas 22 páginas (en formato word, tamaño A4). (…) Como sé que muchas personas procederán con una nueva catarata de insultos (incluyendo desde amenazas hasta deseos de que yo me vaya al infierno, la muerte de mis familiares y todo lo que a ustedes se les pueda ocurrir), les recomiendo que en primer lugar lean todo el documento y que en caso de tener objeciones las hagan con fundamentos, y si no es demasiado pedir, que esos fundamentos estén sustentados en argumentos teológicos, canónicos e históricos. EL ESTADO MENTAL DEL ARZOBISPO THUC P. Clarence Kelly ("The Bulletin", Oyster Bay, N.Y., January 1994) mental "La recaída en la profanación del sacramento del Orden (la última consagración conferida en una secta fue el 24 de septiembre de 1982) y la falta de firmeza en su promesa de no caer otra vez permiten hacer una pregunta esencial: Este hombre de 85 años de edad, ¿estaba en posesión de sus facultades?, ¿se daba cuenta de lo que hacía al imponer tan fácilmente las manos a cualquiera? ¿Era verdaderamente responsable de sus actos? Sólo hay tres respuestas posibles a esta cuestión. -No. Thuc no estaba en posesión de todas sus facultades; no era responsable y no incurrió en las penas previstas por la ley.

  • Catholic Candle's List of Priests & Those Who Claim to Be Priests
    Revision date: November 6, 2020 Catholic Candle’s List of Priests & Those Who Claim to be Priests This list primarily focuses on whether there is any doubt concerning the validity of the ordination of a priest whom the faithful might encounter. Note: Catholic sacramental theology requires that an ordination be treated as invalid if even the slightest reasonable doubt exists, concerning the validity of either the ordination or the ordaining bishop’s consecration. See the analyses elsewhere in Catholic Candle, which demonstrate the inherent doubtfulness of conciliar ordinations and consecrations: http://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/new-ordination-doubtful.html https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGd2RRcTFSY29EYzg/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGZVF5cmFvMGdZM0U/view Also, in the list below, Catholic Candle flags sedevacantist priests (or supposed priests) of which we are aware. Sedevacantism is a grave error and is schism. See this article analyzing the sedevacantist error: https://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/against-sedevacantism.html This is not a list of “approved” priests. It is the beginning of a prudent investigation concerning a particular priest. Fr. Patrick Abbet From Switzerland. Ordained in 2002. Source: STAS.org website, where he was an SSPX seminary professor. Fr. Stephen Abraham As of April 2017, he lives in a house with Bishop Richard Nelson Williamson, in Broadstairs, England. There are serious problems with this SSPX-ordained priest. Stay away from him! If you have a serious practical reason to know more information, please contact Catholic Candle. 1 Revision date: November 6, 2020 Fr. Albert Kallio, O.P. Ordained in Winona in 1994 by Bishop Fellay.

  • Tradizionalisti E Sedevacantisti
    Tradizionalisti e sedevacantisti La Fraternità San Pio X di Monsignor Lefebvre Fraternità Sacerdotale San Pio X Via Trilussa, 45 00041 Albano Laziale (Roma) Tel.: 06-9306816 Fax: 06-9305848 E-mail: [email protected] URL: www.sanpiox.it Monsignor Marcel Lefebvre (1905-1991) diventa sacerdote missionario in Africa, poi vescovo, delegato apostolico per l’Africa francofona e arcivescovo di Dakar nel 1955. Nel 1962 è trasferito all’episcopato di Tulle, in Francia, ma rimane superiore generale di una congregazione missionaria, i Padri dello Spirito Santo , fino al 1968. Lascia questa carica non condividendo l’“aggiornamento” della congregazione ispirato al Concilio Ecumenico Vaticano II, per conto del quale era stato attivo opponendosi su molti punti alle decisioni della maggioranza. Nel 1970 apre nelle vicinanze di Friburgo, in Svizzera, un seminario per giovani alla ricerca di una formazione “tradizionale”, che dopo pochi mesi si trasferisce a Ecône , nel Vallese, con l’approvazione del vescovo di Sion. Nel 1970 è eretta canonicamente nella Diocesi di Losanna-Ginevra-Friburgo la Fraternità Sacerdotale San Pio X . Nel 1974, con una visita canonica, matura una reazione della gerarchia cattolica nei confronti del seminario di Ecône e della sua formazione “pre-conciliare”; e nel 1975 una commissione cardinalizia ingiunge a monsignor Lefebvre di non procedere a ulteriori ordinazioni sacerdotali. Nonostante gli ammonimenti romani, il vescovo francese ordina tredici sacerdoti, il 29 giugno 1976, e il successivo 22 luglio è sospeso a divinis . Con questo gesto la Fraternità Sacerdotale San Pio X entra in stato di “disubbidienza”, ma non ancora di scisma: fra alti e bassi, un dialogo discreto è mantenuto con le autorità romane, e – se continua a ordinare sacerdoti – monsignor Lefebvre si astiene dal consacrare vescovi.

Portier This dissertation examines the theological work of John Hugo by looking at its roots within the history of Ignatian spirituality, as well as within various nature-grace debates in Christian history. It also attempts to situate Hugo within the historical context of early twentieth-century Catholicism and America, particularly the period surrounding the Second World War. John Hugo (1911-1985) was a priest from Pittsburgh who is perhaps best known as Dorothy Day‟s spiritual director and leader of “the retreat” she memorialized in The Long Loneliness. Throughout much of American Catholic scholarship, Hugo‟s theology has been depicted as rigorist and even labeled as Jansenist, yet it was embraced by and had a great influence upon Day and many others.
