Una cum sede apostolica, Traditional Catholic. Hopeful future secular third order Dominican. Requiescat in Pace, Bishop Des Lauriers. St. Joseph pray for us. 🍄
Commissum Divinitus, Pope Gregory XVI: "[T]he Church has, by its divine institution, the power of the magisterium to teach and define matters of faith and morals and to interpret the Holy Scriptures without danger of [pernicious] error."
"Please pray for Anjalie Bartee, a teenager in the Omaha parish who has brain cancer. She is expected to pass away any day. She is unresponsive this afternoon, but she was able to receive Holy Communion from the bishop when he visited her this morning!"

This Good Friday I would like to pray for the souls of all the traditional clergy that have died during the Vatican II revolution.
May they rest in peace after having fought the good fight during the mystical crucifixion of the Catholic Church.
I affirm Vatican II and its liturgical, doctrinal, and disciplinary reforms are a substantial change of the Catholic Faith, and therefore must be rejected. These substantial changes have been condemned by the Church. Therefore, I affirm my submission to the judgment of the Church
If your Pope teaches previously condemned doctrines, rules with the applause of heretics, and does not sanctify the faithful, then you certainly do not have a Roman Catholic Pontiff as the head of your religion.
There is nothing confusing or painful about Sedevacantism. The Papacy is divinely assisted and, therefore, can not give poison to the universal Church. Francis is giving poison to the Church, therefore he is not the Pope. It is more painful and mind-numbing to deny reality.
The Catholic faith is simple. It must be simple for people of a simple disposition.
Ask God for perseverance in the faith, growth of contrition, and growth within the state of grace.
Did you know that JP2 approved a concordat that did away with Italy's Catholic confessional state? Because I didn't.
John Paul II quite literally uncrowned Christ's social reign in Italy. Such a man is definitely not a Saint.
Right in the middle of 3 tornados touching down in the Omaha/Greater Omaha area.
Seeing a lot of damage to homes right now.
Please say some prayers for these families...
St. Vincent Ferrer, please help Strickland recognize the vacancy of the Holy See and reject the reforms of Vatican II. He will need help soon.
St. Vincent Ferrer, pray for us.
If you wish to adhere to Archbishop Lefebvre's position against Vatican II and the New Mass, then you need to stop attending the indult mass. The indult is a conciliar creation. It is a creature born of Judas. It is a mass that has sold itself for 30 pieces of silver.
When I remember some of my friends who have returned to the conciliar religion, I remind myself that they have joined a religion that can attempt to annul their valid marriage, can bless their hypothetical gay child's partnership, or pray with Anglicans at their liturgy.
In order to combat mental illness, one must grow in the virtues that combat the source of the illness (sin). For instance, anxiety is a defect that must be combated with virtuous acts pertaining to hope.
Beginning in 2020 or so, I have prayed to St. Philomena at her shrine at my mass center with the intention to convert Novus Ordo clergy. Since then, one NO priest was ordained by Bp. Sanborn, another NO priest has joined MHTS, and two others in Europe have joined the IMBC.

Muslims are not fasting because of a natural desire, but rather, they fast from a desire to fulfill the superstitious tenets of their false religion. It's not a good look to quote the Angelic doctor in this way.
This is how messed up the Novus Ordo is: I can receive communion on the hand with a Lutheran Spouse also receiving, go to an ecumenical service with a bishop and Anglicans, and venerate schismatic "saints".
At Mass this morning, for the first time since Vatican II, Pope Francis has conferred the ministry of Lector in Church, and for the first time ever women have been instituted in the role.
When modern Catholics tell Sedevacantists to return to the Church and abandon heresy/schism (with perhaps a certain rudeness), they are not being obedient to the official teachings of Vatican II in regards to ecumenism. (A Thread)
Remember that Indult Australian priest who was ousted from his parish by the local ordinary? Well there are now pictures of him present at a Resistance mass where was Bp. Bellini saying mass in Malaysia. By the grace of God I hope he is, at least conditionally, ordained.

Q: Can the hierarchy of the Catholic Church disappear?
A: No. The apostolicity of the Church demands that the Catholic hierarchy endures perpetually.
The real question is, how does one explain the apostolicity of the Church during the crisis of Vatican II?
After this debacle with Fiducia supplicans, I no longer pity my friends' position in the Novus Ordo, rather I view their position with complete contempt.
God help them, because this is going to get even worse.
Lofton is calling mainstream bishops and Vatican cardinals dissenters and slanderers for not expressing his interpretation of Francis' interpretation of Amoris Laetitia. At this point, anyone in the Novus Ordo who considers this man to be a serious Catholic should be ignored.
the canning of +Strickland is unfortunate in that it reflects very corrupted hierarchy of values from Rome, but let’s not pretend there’s no sense in which these unfortunate incidents are self-inflicted given the pro-sedevacantist rant he approvingly quoted a few days ago

In the Archdiocese of St. Paul, the FSSP parish of Minneapolis would have to comply with the permission of the local bishop allowing a Lutheran spouse to communion at a wedding in order to comply with the ecumenical guidelines.
Gregory Hesse may have been a Lefebvrist, but at least we can all agree that he did one great thing. That is the preaching against puritanical views of Americans on alcohol.
(Yes, I want to give public talks while drinking a tall glass of red wine.)
🧵After hearing from Bp. McGuire that SGG has had similar intentions answered through the intercession of Our Lady of Good Counsel, I, too, have prayed to her for the intention of financial security. Such prayers seem to be answered. Additionally, when praying for natural...
It is the ultimate irony, that the man that accuses sedevacantism of being gnostic, is the one who actually meets with a gnostic bishop to read tarot cards.
Has anyone covered the fact that the YouTube channel, Defeat Modernism, which originally was staunchly SSPX and anti-sedevacantist, has embraced sedevacantism with vigor?
A former SSPX channel that has 5,602,108 views?
How is this not bigger news?
Hot take: The coronation of Charles III serves as a rallying point for political traditionalists all across Europe. It is the last vestige of an institution tied to land, blood, and faith. Do not let Europe's traditions die in revolution and republicanism. Long live the King.
The consecration of the Immaculata should be a resounding blow against modernism, but unfortunately, it is tainted by the SSPX's ever growing closeness with the conciliar religion.
The consecration will partially stand as an act of resistance against modernism. But for how long?
Pope Leo XIII: "Care must be taken, therefore, that, in these times of mourning for the Church, the most holy devotion of the Rosary of Mary be assiduously and piously observed..."
People are downplaying the main issue at hand.
So, what there isn't the blessing of gay unions?
The issue is that any priest can bless homosexuals as a COUPLE.
If you don't see the issue, you are as blind as someone in the cities of Gomorrah and Sodom. And many are blind.
Fr. Connell (S.T.D.): "I would not hesitate to tell a girl who is planning to enter a bathing beauty contest that if she does so she will be guilty of mortal sin."
Lefebvre: "Finally the Pope is more ecumenist than ever. All the false ideas of the Council continue to develop, to be reaffirmed with ever greater clarity. They are hiding less and less. It is absolutely inconceivable that we can agree to work with such a hierarchy."
The sooner Catholics, erring in good faith, realize it is not normal to have their consciences disturbed by the teaching authority of the Catholic Church, the sooner the crisis will end. In a phrase, a return to true ultramontanism by having people grow in the spiritual life.
That's weird, there's an entire three missions belonging to the CMRI now because the SSPX abandoned them.
There's also the time an independent chapel was given over to the SSPX in Florida and then the chapel property was sold off leaving the people without sacraments.
SSPX priests spend their day giving the Sacraments to people, traveling all over the world-even by boat to the farthest frontier in Alaska.
Sede priests spend their day tweeting about how heretical these priests are.
The footnotes are almost exclusively from Vatican II sources. This article is despicable and undermines the authority of the Roman Pontiff. Absolutely shameful to publish.
According to the "infallible safety" thesis, the pope may teach some errors in his non-infallible magisterium, but not dangerous errors. Is this a legitimate Catholic viewpoint? Dr. John Joy breaks it down:
So let me get this straight. Br. Martin has sought out ordination by the "Canonical Old Roman Catholic Church" and released this information on April Fool's day. This specific organization comes from an Old Catholic lineage. Absolutely disgraceful.
Does the Catholic Church allow us to force our religion upon non-Catholics? The answer may surprise you. Obviously, we can not force someone to be baptized, but the Church has commanded non-Catholics to be forced to attend Catholic sermons.
The rise of the right in Europe is always exciting to see, but remember that there can not be true change without Christ reigning in society. These political parties will not save godless Europe.
I just recently remembered the pride I felt back when I originally adhered to the Feeneyite heresy. I felt powerful knowing that I could interpret the council of Trent better than St. Alphonsus, Doctor of the Church. Luckily God struck humility into my heart.
Catholics must accept the dogmas of the faith. When a Catholic is faced with an authority that teaches doctrines opposed to the dogmas of the faith, that Catholic must reject those doctrines, not due to his own judgement, but because the Church has condemned those evil doctrines.
Bishop Pivarunas: "the Catholic Church — is infallible and indefectible, for the perpetual assistance of Christ and of the Holy Ghost guarantees the purity and the integrity of the promulgation of the faith of the Apostles and their successors."
CT was again proving he has no idea what he's talking about. People are seeking to preserve the TLM because it is a Catholic liturgy in opposition to modernist defilement, not because it represents some kind of populist political rally.
I think it is a pastoral imperative for the Church to preserve the “TLM”, but it is regrettable that it is now more of a rallying point for culture war obsessed Catholics than an opportunity for deeper immersion into the Church’s most sublime expressions of Her liturgical life
Sedevacantist laity need to grow in the spiritual life, not in Polemics. If they grow in the spiritual life, then they can grow in the art of polemics.
They see a traditional Mass, and presume all is well. It’s not. In reality, the Fraternity of St. Peter is leading its lay adherents bit by bit into the high-church, nostalgia wing of the ecumenical, post-Vatican II religion.
Q: Why do I accept the thesis of Cassiciacum?
A: I do so because it offers a full analysis of the crisis. However, I do not base my rejection of Vatican II on the thesis. Rather, I do so because the Church has already condemned the errors of the robber council.
Francis has approved the spontaneous blessing of homosexual couples. The caveats aside, this is a major change in doctrine. St. Augustine teaches that sins against nature must be detested and punished. Francis offers "peace, health ... and mutual assistance."
This tweet was purely about the doctrinal position of the SSPX. Immediately, the defenders of the SSPX talked about how sedevacantists lack the beautiful externals of the SSPX instead of addressing the doctrinal issue of growing closer to a reconciliation with the modernists.
The consecration of the Immaculata should be a resounding blow against modernism, but unfortunately, it is tainted by the SSPX's ever growing closeness with the conciliar religion.
The consecration will partially stand as an act of resistance against modernism. But for how long?
The Church of Vatican II has failed to be a means of salvation, therefore it is impossible for it to be the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Stop adhering to the false religion of Vatican II. The visible Catholic Church of Eternal Rome is currently in the catacombs.
Dear Catholic Twitter, today I went to my first sedevacantist youth group. It was astonishing. They were all regular people and not like the autists on Twitter. In conclusion, Catholic Twitter please disregard internet sedes if they are acting badly chances...
The traditional Papal Encyclical may be "non-definitive", according to Novus Ordo apologists, but many doctrines taught and defended in such letters proceed from the "definitive" Extraordinary and Universal & Ordinary Magisterium. Vatican II contradicts these doctrines.
Des Lauriers: "“Visibility” is not a mark of the Church; it has undergone eclipses, since it is only DE JURE POSSIBILITY, not always realized IN FACT [see the Great Western Schism], to observe Apostolicity. While Apostolicity is a mark, permanent like the Church itself."
