  • What make you think that you have the authority to reject an Ecunemical Council and a Liturgical Rite approved by a legitimate Pope?

    R&R argument of authority is laughable.  

    You aren't asking the right question. We don't have to prove anything that you sedes come up with, because your questions are not relevant to those who are prudent. You take the most extreme route possible, which isn't Catholic, but it's very AMERICAN. (Think of all of the extremist sects in this country, due to "religious liberty").

    You frame your questions in a manipulative manner. It's diabolical, but you can't see that.
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

  • What I am guessing is that you simply do not have the right answer.

    For you, the only "right" answer would be to the liking of your extremist sede view. No other answer will suit you. That's why it's futile to debate with you and the other extremists here.

    You want to continually have non-sedes on the defensive by insisting that we answer your STUPID extremist sede "questions." You are manipulative, like the other sedes.

  • A "Pope" who is not a member of the Church cannot be his head. If you want to argue that an ecclesiastical declaration is necessary, then fine, but you cannot deny the underlying principle where the conclusion is derived from.

    The fact that this is not a novelty is proved by the fact that Bellarmine already wrote about in the XVI century and furthermore, he says that the Church Fathers teach it in unison.

    Your "facts" are not in fact "facts." They are an invention of your mind. You have gone the extreme route in order to have some emotional relief from the severe Crisis in the Church. But you have no authority to force others to your view, just because you have the need to be comfortable.

  • No one is forcing you. If you feel coerced over my views, then that is your problem; and not mine.

    This is an anonymous online forum and I am allowed to participate, unless Mathew says otherwise.

    So you believe that no one has to accept your view on the matter?

    And you are over-reacting if you think that I'm saying that you shouldn't participate on this forum. That's manipulative too. But not surprising.

  • 1) It is deceptive because you know that those quotes do not prove R&R. You know it because I asked you to explain how they prove it and you didn't.
    2) Sedevacantism takes the Dogma that Manifest heretics are not Catholic and draws conclusions from that. Show how that is a new idea. R&R may claim to be Catholic but no one in the history of the Church ever claimed one may have selective obedience, under any circuмstance, towards the Pope.
    3) If there was a Pope right now, I wouldn't decide his status. I also would not take it upon myself to decide when I needed to obey and submit to him like you do. In fact, you're projecting your own false beliefs on us again. You are the one who decides upon the status of everything your "pope" says.
    4) Here's a challenge for you; show where I argued against your quotes. Your quotes have nothing at all to do with what we're arguing. There is no truth in you.
    1) Those quotes wholly condemn sedeism and at the same time prove "R&R" to be the only correct response. R&R is correct because R&R actually applies the inherent-to-the-Catholic-faith-principle, that: "No matter what may happen, since no one may justifiably command another to sin, and since no one is permitted to obey such a command, no one may ever blame another—even an errant pope—for his sins. Conversely, the failure of any person—even the pope—to keep God's law or to preserve his own faith, does not excuse any other person for his failure to do the same. Ignorance of the law or ignorance of the Faith is never an excuse for sinning; one is bound to know when he is being commanded to sin." - Fr. Wathen, The Great Sacrilege

    The sedes, clinging to the new doctrine of sedewhateverism which has been wrought by their own confused conclusion, wholly reject, not only the above Catholic principle, they also condemn those to be heretics who embrace and apply it to this situation.  

    2) We know sedeism [mis]uses dogma to draw their confused conclusion, which they make into doctrines - or as often happens, they make their confused conclusion that the pope is not the pope, anything from being a dogmatic certainty to dogmatically doubtful. The quoted teachings expose the whole sedewhatever idea for what it is, not Catholic.

    3) There is a pope right now, he was put in place the same way all other popes were put in place for the last +1000 years - there is no other way for the Church to have a pope.

    4) See #1.

  • I don't think I've ever seen Meg write anything but emotional rants. They never have any pertinence. She usually only expresses, with different wording, her distaste for Sedes and their position.
    Just an observation Meg. Maybe add something else, like a Church Teaching to back up your position perhaps. Just a helpful hint.

    Yeah, you want us to "prove" our position. As if you will accept anything that we would offer as proof. You will not, because you are an extremist who believes that everyone is compelled to accept your sede proclamations.

  • Stubborn,

    We spent a long time defending the EESN dogma in the past.

    Do you doubt that manifest heretics are outside the Church?
    No, I don't doubt it at all. They are not members, neither are infidels, apostates or schismatics. But we have no authority, responsibility, duty or right to decide the status of the pope no matter what heretical crimes he has perpetrated or will perpetrate, because we have no reason to. God claims that responsibility as His own, personal responsibility.

    I have the utmost faith in Our Lord that He will not fail to give us all, especially the conciliar popes, their just reward.

  • According to Wathenism, non-members can still continue to hold office/jurisidiction in the Church by virtue of their baptismal character alone.

    If you want to properly apply this, however, you would be led once again to sedeprivationism.
    I don't have to apply anything to this, certainly avoid at all costs adding another divisive variety of sedewhateverism into the mess. What I have to do, and all that really matters, is that I have to save my own soul, that's what I have to do. Unlike the sedes, I am 100% perfectly content to leave the judgement AND the sentencing up to Our Lord, which is exactly how He wants it.

  • 1) Just saying that they condemn "sedeism" does not make it so. You still haven't explained how those quotes condemn sedevacantism.
    Instead you post a comment by Wathen. In this quote, Wathen is seen failing to make a distinction between sins which do and sins that don't separate one from the Church. I am not going to opine as to whether he did this intentionally or not. I will say that if he did this through ignorance, I don't' think anyone could take anything he said seriously. It's such a basic principle. Heretics and Apostates are not Catholic.
    Contrary to what you believe, the quote is not a Catholic Principle and could be understood as directly opposed to the St. Robert quote I posted on the other thread. It is definitely opposed to the Dogma that one may withhold any obedience whatsoever to a Roman Pontiff. It's opposed to the Dogma of the Authority given them by Christ to feed and rule the Sheep.

    2) If this is what you believe, then answer these. Are heretics outside the Church? Can we withhold obedience to the Pope as long as he isn't teaching infallibly?

    I will be waiting for an answer to the questions in number 2. As well for you to explain how your quotes prove R&R, which you have ignored for 4 or 5 posts now.
    Unlike sedes, I am unafraid to answer questions, but if you cannot understand the answers already given, to the point where you ask the same thing in different ways over and over, there is not much I can do about that.

    1) The teaching inherent to the Catholic faith, which you call a "comment by Wathen", not even Fr. Wathen, (a priest who earned that title you have no problem disrespecting by leaving it out), is a part of the faith. If you do not like the faith then you will not like that principle, which explains why you cannot comprehend it for what it says, so what can I say, you obviously do not have the faith.

    2) Read my sig.

  • It's quite hypocritical of you to call me out for not applying the "Fr." for a Priest who held heretical views yet you call the man that you consider pope, a heretic and never obey him.
    Just remember he was one of the faithful priests who busied himself taking care of his sheep and preserving the faith while you were out NOing it up.

    And again as regards your pope problem, I refer you to the most basic of Catholic principles, which is apparent that you were never taught, but should have been taught shortly after you learned to walk. That's how basic it is - even a 3 year old can understand it. Too bad it wasn't in any of the books you read.

  • Rejecting heresies might be a good start to that end.
    I try. At least I reject all of your heresies.

  • Stubborn,

    Bellarmine is referring here to an hypothetical morally evil Pope giving morally evil commands to the faithful. This is a completely different case from a Pope teaching doctrinal error, evidently failing to the infallibility promised to his Papal Office.

    Also, Bellarmine is debating here the errors of Gallicanism and Conciliarism, not the case of a heretical Pope. Specifically this quote is taken from Bellarmine’s reply to the following argument:

    The resistance he is referring to is that of kings and Councils, not individual Catholics, and this in opposition to the errors of the Gallicans, who considered the authority of a king or a General Council superior to that of the Roman Pontiff.
    Again, I am absolutely content to let Our Lord take care of the pope in His own time as He sees fit. A heretic in the Chair does not effect my salvation any more than a saintly pope in the Chair would effect my salvation. I have no need or reason to join the divisiveness of sedeism.

    Because it has no effect on my salvation, I really do not care what St. Robert's opinions are, I do care that the sedes always reference a Catholic saint and Doctor of the Church, as well as popes and fathers in their efforts to justify their sedeism. Certainly, doing that is something very displeasing to God, and the fact that of their own free will they've chosen to blind themselves to the truth does not change the fact that God is very displeased with those who do such things.

  • No, I do not believe so.

    This is a very good quote to reflect on. Hopefully, all of us can reach this level of perfection:




    Indeed. And as Fr. Bergamo says in the Humility of The Heart: "...But in paradise there is no Saint who was not humble".
    The love of God be your motivation, the will of God your guiding principle, the glory of God your goal.

  • Yes it would mean that were it true. This is the infamous Fr. Wathen "dogma"; "Once a Catholic, Always a Catholic".
    This is directly contrary to the Dogma that heretics are not in the Church.
    You have a sede understanding of dogma, which is to say you don't have a clue what you're even talking about.

    When an apostate Catholic dies, they are judged as a Catholic and will suffer worse than the non-Catholic because more was expected of that person.

    You likely never read in the books that you learned your sede faith from, that the floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops, but that is how it is. It does not say the floor of hell is paved with imposter bishops, or non-bishops or fake bishops or whatever it is you imagine.

  • You truly are nowhere near the Catholic Church. Your brainwashing has made you incoherent.
    Yes, pretty much everything Catholic is incoherent to the sede mind because pretty much everything Catholic is antagonistic to the sede errors - by design.
