  • The Vatican II Sect Vs. the Catholic Church on Non-Catholics Receiving Holy Communion
    239 19. The Vatican II sect vs. the Catholic Church on non-Catholics receiving Holy Communion Pope Pius VIII, Traditi Humilitati (# 4), May 24, 1829: “Jerome used to say it this way: he who eats the Lamb outside this house will perish as did those during the flood who were not with Noah in the 1 ark.” Benedict XVI giving Communion to the public heretic, Bro. Roger Schutz,2 the Protestant founder of Taize on April 8, 2005 In the preceding sections on the heresies of Vatican II and John Paul II, we covered that they both teach the heresy that non-Catholics may lawfully receive Holy Communion. It’s important to summarize the Vatican II sect’s official endorsement of this heretical teaching here for handy reference: Vatican II Vatican II document, Orientalium Ecclesiarum # 27: “Given the above-mentioned principles, the sacraments of Penance, Holy Eucharist, and the anointing of the sick may be conferred on eastern Christians who in good faith are separated from the Catholic Church, if they make the request of their own accord and are properly disposed.”3 Non-Catholics receiving Communion 240 Paul VI solemnly confirming Vatican II Antipope Paul VI, at the end of every Vatican II document: “EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE THINGS SET FORTH IN THIS DECREE HAS WON THE CONSENT OF THE FATHERS.

  • The Catholic University of America A
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By John H. Osman Washington, D.C. 2015 A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore John H. Osman, Ph.D. Director: Joseph M. White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.

  • „Principele Scortesco”. Cine Era? (Cu O Incursiune În Peisajul Catolic Tradiţionalist Din Apus)
    1 Un român exilat misterios: „Principele Scortesco”. Cine era? (cu o incursiune în peisajul catolic tradiţionalist din Apus) P. dr. Remus Mircea Birtz, OBSS Summary This study presents some data about the Romanian Traditional Catholic writers, the painter Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893, Yassy – 1976, Paris), his brother the diplomatic minister Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895, Yassy – 1979, Buenos-Aires), known in the Romanian literature, and Miss Myra Davidoglou (1923, Bucharest – 2001, France) a graphic artist too. Some historical and genealogical data about the Scortzesco Moldavian-Romanian noble family are given, and a short landscape of the Traditional Catholic Resistance. It is proven that the well-known statement of Paul Scortzesco about the 1963 Conclave cannot be true, however without denying the election of Cardinal Giuseppe Siri as Pope (Gregory XVII) in the 1958 Conclave. Some biographical data about the Scortzescos can and must be certainly corrected, when new informations from the yet unknown Romanian Exile Culture will be available. Key words: Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893-1976), Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895-1979), Myra Davidoglou (1923-2001), Cardinal Giuseppe Siri (Gregory XVII), Roman Catholic Resistance, Sedevacantism, Romanian Exile. N.B. Studiul a fost prezentat la Simpozionul De la elitele Securităţii la securitatea elitelor organizat de Universitatea Babeş-Bolyai, în 31.III. – 1.IV. 2017, distinsă cu Premiul I, fiind aşteptată publicarea lui în volumul omonim, aflat sub tipar. Dacă Rezistenţa Catolică din România împotriva comunismuluia fost şi este deja amplu investigată şi descrisă, Rezistenţa Catolică din Apusul Europei este practice necunoscută cititorilor români, desi membri marcanţi ai Acesteia au fost şi credincioşi catolici români exilaţi.

  • Like Sheep Without a Shepherd”: Sixty Years of Sede Vacante
    “Like Sheep without a Shepherd”: Sixty Years of Sede Vacante by Mario Derksen presented on October 11, 2018 When Pope Pius XII died on October 9, 1958, no one could have fathomed the calamities that would befall the Church in the years to come. What we have witnessed in the past six decades is unprecedented, and surely if anyone at the time had been told that in just a few short years, the world would see an apparent Catholic Church that has made peace with the errors of the modern world and transformed the Holy Mass into a Protestant worship service, he would not have believed it. If such a one had been told that the so-called Catholic Church of the next few decades would indoctrinate children and adults in Naturalism and the so-called “rights of man” and engage in efforts to seek the truth conjointly with heretics, Jews, Muslims, and heathens, he would have considered such a prediction insane. So stark is the contrast between the Catholic Church the world knew until the passing of Pope Pius XII and the institution that has since claimed that name, that in 1968, only ten years after Pius XII’s death, the Australian writer Frank Sheed published a book with the telling title, Is it the same Church?.1 The Novus Ordo cardinal Karol Wojtyla, who would later call himself “Pope John Paul II,” wrote in his 1977 book Sign of Contradiction that “the Church succeeded, during the second Vatican Council, in re-defining her own nature.”2 This was apparently also the position of the Vatican, whose Substitute Secretary of State, the Novus Ordo cardinal Giovanni Benelli, in 1976 had been the first to use the term “Conciliar Church” to refer to the new religion that the council had brought about.

  • The Catholic University of America Heresy By
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA HERESY BY ASSOCIATION: The Canonical Prohibition of Freemasonry in History and in the Current Law A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Canon Law Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctorate in Canon Law By Edward F. Condon Washington, D.C. 2015 ABSTRACT Despite the remarkable continuity, over the centuries, of the Catholic Church’s condemnation of Freemasonry and the clarity of her rationale for doing so, the current canonical discipline of Catholic-Masonic issues is the subject of considerable confusion. The canonical prohibition of Catholic membership of a Masonic Lodge, or society, was expressly articulated in canon 2335 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law, which attached a penalty of excommunication, latae sententiae. Further canonical effects explicitly linked to Masonry were contained in six additional canons spread throughout the Code. The 1983 Code of Canon Law contains no explicit mention of Freemasonry. Canon 1374 provides for indeterminate penalties for those who joins societies which “plot against the Church”, but there is no consensus of what the canonical definition of plotting (machinationem) means, nor which societies, if any, might be intended by the canon. This dissertation seeks, through historical analysis of the origins of Freemasonry itself, and the Church’s teaching against it, to correctly place Freemasonry, specifically membership of a Masonic society by a Catholic, within the penal law of the 1983 Code. Chapter I traces the origins of Freemasonry and the Church’s opposition to it, through to the codification of the 1917 Code of Canon Law.

  • The Heresy of Indifferentism
    Building on a Firm Foundation 8 September 2020 The Heresy of Indifferentism DEFINITION: [Religious] Indifferentism is the perverse opinion that it is possible to obtain eternal salvation by the profession of any kind of religion, as long as “morality” is maintained. This is the great error of our age! It preaches that all religions are sufficient, more or less good and praiseworthy, and that God has given every individual a wide freedom to embrace and adopt, without danger to his salvation, whatever sect, religion or opinion that appeals to him on the basis of his private judgment. It hides behind the mask of foregoing what divides us in order to share in what unites us; thus, it leads to naturalism and atheism. Its end is the destruction of all religion via rebellion against God. Common and popular ways of expressing this heresy today are: ‣ You will go to Heaven as long as you are a ‘good’ person. ‣ Most people go to Heaven. In the end, everyone goes to Heaven. Hell is empty. ‣ All religions lead to God (salvation); they are just different paths. ‣ We all believe in the same God. ‣ Dogma is not all that important. ‣ Focus on what unites us, not on doctrines that separate us. ‣ Your truth is good for you, mine is good for me. Let’s just all “coexist.” ‣ The Catholic Church is the ‘best’ way or the ‘fullness’ of truth. PAPAL TEACHING (just a few citations, there are many more!)

  • 30. One Can Be Pro-Abortion and Part of the Vatican II Sect at the Same Time
    389 30. One can be pro-abortion and part of the Vatican II sect at the same time “…no pro-abortion politician, no matter how prominent the figure nor how boldly he supports abortion, has been excommunicated (i.e. expelled from the “Church”) by the Vatican II antipopes.” John Kerry receiving “Communion” in a Vatican II church in Boston.1 Notice the miraculous image of a baby which appears as if Kerry is eating! Pro-abortion and part of the V-2 Sect 390 We’ve catalogued in great detail that the Vatican II sect is fraught with religious indifferentism and a denial of basic Catholic dogmas. The only issues which it pretends to hold are issues pertaining to morality and human dignity, not the issues of the Faith. For instance, while the Vatican II sect is certainly in favor of false religions, such as Islam and Judaism, it pretends to be against abortion and artificial contraception. However, no pro-abortion politician, no matter how prominent the figure nor how boldly he supports abortion, has been excommunicated (i.e. expelled from the “Church”) by the Vatican II antipopes. When we consider this fact, remember that it took John Paul II fewer than 72 hours to “excommunicate” Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre for consecrating bishops without a Papal mandate! Lefebvre consecrated these bishops for the spread of the Traditional Latin Mass. John Paul II was very concerned that more Traditional Latin Masses would be available, which he desperately wanted to stop, so he wasted no time bringing down the hammer. If he or Benedict XVI were really against abortion, they would have acted swiftly against obstinate pro-abortion politicians with the penalty of excommunication, just like John Paul II did with Lefebvre.

  • The Masonic Agenda: Public Education in Wisconsin by Khristian E. Kay, PM Silas H. Shepherd Lodge of Research #1843
    The Masonic Agenda: Public Education in Wisconsin 1 The Masonic Agenda: Public Education in Wisconsin by Khristian E. Kay, PM Silas H. Shepherd Lodge of Research #1843 The Masonic Agenda: Public Education in Wisconsin 2 Freemasonry and Education Public Education is a relatively new concept in the history of humankind. Public Education differs from religious education in that the principles of science are emphasized regardless of a religious doctrine or belief. It follows a path of logic through concepts which can be proved or disproved rather than maintaining a faith or a belief. The abolishment of primogeniture and entail in the New World1 after the American Revolution helped the pursuit of an educational system free from aristocracy. However the concept was not without its detractors as the danger of education of the masses made some individuals fear that the newly educated masses would take control of the government and of American life in general. Others believed that education was the sole priority of the home. There exists a long history of fear concerning the philosophies of Freemasonry as well. As the popular coinage presumes, ‘we fear that which we do not understand,’ or we fear that which is different. To understand the importance of Freemasonry’s influence on Public Education we need to delve back in time to the beginnings of speculative Freemasonry. Some of the beliefs of Freemasonry are that all faiths are welcome as long as there exists a belief in a singular deity, men should learn and discover the virtues of morality through education and experience, and that through a strong education of sciences one should be apt to learn.
