Modern Alternative Popes*
Modern Alternative Popes* Magnus Lundberg Uppsala University The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is arguably the most important event in modern Catholicism, and a major act on the twentieth-century religious scene at large. On several points, the conciliar fathers made changes in how the Catholic Church perceived the modern world. The language in the decrees was different from earlier councils’, and the bishops opened up for ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, seeing at least “seeds of truth” in other religious traditions. The conciliar fathers also voted in favour of liberty of religion, as meaning something more than the right to practise Catholic faith. A very concrete effect of the Council was the introduction of the New Mass Order (Novus Ordo Missae) in 1969 that replaced the traditional Roman rite, decreed by Pius V in 1570. Apart from changes in content, under normal circumstances, the new mass should be read in the vernacular, not in Latin as before. Though many Catholics welcomed the reforms of Vatican II, many did not. In the period just after the end of the Council, large numbers of priests and nuns were laicized, few new priest candidates entered the seminaries, and many laypeople did not recognize the church and the liturgy, which they had grown up with. In the post- conciliar era, there developed several traditionalist groups that criticized the reforms and in particular the introduction of the Novus Ordo. Their criticism could be more or less radical, and more or less activist. Many stayed in their parishes and attended mass there, but remained faithful to traditional forms of devotions and paid much attention to modern Marian apparitions. -

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.

MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL CHAPEL REACHE S 25 YEAR S n November 23, 2008, the faithful at St. Michael the Archangel Church in FARMINGVILLE, NY celebrated their chapel’s 25th anniversary with a Solemn High Mass followed by a banquet which Oincluded a slideshow on the chapel’s history. Centrally located on Long Island, the chapel’s development began over a decade before its establishment in November 1983, and was often near the historical eye of the SSPX’s formative years in the United States of America. In fact, two of its original parishioners would exercise a substantial impact in the early history of the SSPX’s apostolate in the United States. The flash point for the chapel’s inception occurred in April 1970 with the introduction of the St. Michael the Archangel Church as it appears today. The exterior Novus Ordo Missae wooden framework is supposed to imitate the English Tudor Gothic style. in the Rockville Center diocese that encompassed the Catholic parishes on Long Island.

It was through the present-day St. Anne’s in fact, that the SSPX established Reno Varani and Robert Bartnik. in the United States through successive years its first North American mission, school, seminary and sisters’ novitiate, all in the Detroit area. As elsewhere throughout the country, the many facets of the Church’s modernist crisis began to be keenly felt by Detroit area Catholics just after the closing of the Second Vatican Council in 1965. A combination of jarring liturgical innovations and the liberalization of the catechetical education of the youth disturbed many conservative-minded Catholics and led them to seek out parishes where the traditional Roman Mass was still being offered by a small number of priests in the Detroit archdiocese.1 Across the metropolitan area, groups of laity would get together to discuss what was occurring in their parishes and to pray the rosary.
