Make a choice.
Do you want to criticise Novus Ordo canonisations and liturgical rites?
If so, you need to stop insisting Francis etc are popes because of alleged universal peaceful adherence. This rests on the same principles/arguments.
Make a choice.

Many thanks.
Cardinal Newman: "If, on the one hand, we believe that a Pope can add to our articles of faith, so, on the other, we hold also that a heretical Pope, ipso facto, ceases to be Pope by reason of his heresy, as I have said." Letter to Duke of Norfolk p 377.
Periodic reminder:
Those who've changed their religion several times and only been Catholics for a few years (especially if they were Catholics before too) should *not* put themselves forward as (or be treated as) "influencers."
Do not allow a single popesplainer to wriggle out of this brazen falsification. The Vatican translation falsifies Francis' Italian, as well as the English of the live translation.
This may be an innocent mistake: but don't let them run with it.
BREAKING: Francis: '[B]e guided by the divine inspiration present in every faith'
Francis triple-downs on his statements about all religions being paths to reach God.
Leo XIII calls laymen to profess and propagate the faith, and says recoiling or keeping silent is:
- Devoid of character,
- Base (not based)
- Insulting to God
- Incompatible with the salvation of mankind
- Profitable only to enemies of the faith
Logic time:
Public heretics are not members of the Catholic Church. Francis is a public heretic. Francis is not a member of the Catholic Church.
The pope is a member of the Catholic Church. Francis is not a member of the Catholic Church. Francis is not the pope.
🧵 on "I don't have the authority"
If you can...
- Recognise one man is the pope
- Recognise that everybody else is not the pope
... then obviously you have the ability to recognise whether or not someone is the pope or not, and some criteria for making this judgement. Cont.
BREAKING – Francis says: 'Every religion is a way to arrive at God.'
In this blasphemous expression of heresy (or even apostasy), he sets himself against the example of even the meekest and kindest saints. Nineteenth century priest Fr Bowden explains:
Now, I think sincerely, that we are talking about a counterfeit version of the Church, and not the Catholic Church. It does not teach any longer the Catholic faith. It teaches something else, it leads the Church to something else other than the Catholic Church.
- Abp Lefebvre
"[M]en are not bound to, or cannot scrutinize hearts; but when they see someone acting in a heretical way, they simply judge that he is a heretic, and they condemn him as a heretic."

Trent Horn on people who accuse the Pope of wanting to destroy the Church.
“I’d rather be a naive member of the elect than a calumnious member of the damned.”
He later cites Matthew 12:36
Though we, an angel from heaven, or anyone, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, which you have received...
A. Accept the good in it, resist the bad, continue to call him an angel from Heaven, and condemn those who disagree?
B. Let him be anathema?
See to it, Venerable Brethren, that the Faithful do not allow themselves to be deceived! Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsoever.

Those who say they'd disappear into Eastern heresy and schism, rather than conclude that the Roman Church has been suffering a long vacancy for several decades, are close to losing the faith.
Catholics don't have back up churches. The Roman Church is the true Church. Believe.
The modern world abolishes both Advent and Christmas as seasons.
They abolish Advent pure and simple by replacing it with Christmas in December, which is a flat simulacrum with bad music and weird messianism in Santa. Then after Christmas Day - nothing. As Scrooge said: humbug.

Read and pass around. Do NOT let the popesplainers get away with this rubbish:
Great popes warned us in every particular about the errors of our time. Gregory XVI, Pius IX, Leo XIII, St Pius X, Pius XI, Pius XII.
What they warned against has come to pass. Their doctrine is the solution.
Read them. Trust them. Love them.
God did not abandon His Church.

Come on, Christian, you know why.
St Pius X: "Hence in their books you find some things which might well be expressed by a Catholic, but in the next page you find other things which might have been dictated by a rationalist."
All the Ws in the world don't outweigh one L here.
Why don't we talk more about how many L's liberals take every time Pope Francis speaks?
For example, here are 11 L's they took from the Dubia response released yesterday.

2) "Cultural changes and new historical

We understand this perfectly. We also understand what St Pius X said was a modernist tactic – do you?
"You find some things which might well be expressed by a Catholic, but in the next page you find other things which might have been dictated by a rationalist." Pascendi n. 18
Could an 'heretic pope' impose errors upon the Church?
Could he try to bind the Church to error with an apparently ex cathedra judgment?
Gregory of Valencia SJ, called 'The Doctor of Doctors' by Pope Clement VIII, gives us his answers:
@LilaGraceRose
@xeladgreat80
There's obviously a lot of truth here, but we mustn't miss truths in Pius XI's encyclical Quas Primas. Particularly:
- The state has a duty to recognise God and the true religion, and to worship him accordingly
- We have a duty to work for this.
SSPX Priest: “We believe that there is no certainty of the validity of the new consecration rite...
“This seem to justify and require conditional ordination of priests and bishops.
"Such uncertainties cannot be tolerated at the root of the sacraments.”
A public heretic is not a member of the Catholic Church. Francis is a public heretic. Francis is not a member of the Catholic Church.
The pope is a member of the Catholic Church. Francis is not a member of the Catholic Church. Francis is not the pope.
Reminder that anti-Jesuitry is the ultimate psy-op.
The corruption of the best is the worst.
The Jesuits were the best. They brought great glory to God. And they surely will be again.
Shameful and cringeworthy. The Church of England is worse than irrelevant
But what's worse? The Church of England allowing this in a formerly Catholic Cathedral? Or Francis allowing the "Archbishop" of this Cathedral to offer blasphemous false worship in a Roman Basilica?

The Catholic Church could not and does not remain silent. This Apostolic See, above all, has not refrained from raising its voice, for it knows that its proper and social mission is to defend truth, justice and all those eternal values which Communism ignores or attacks.
Pius XI
These last few days, we have seen many recent converts to muscular Novus Ordoism pontificating and hectoring those who can see the writing on the wall.
Listen up, fellas. This thread is for you.
In this vein, Pius XII is much maligned. No one's perfect: but measures that took place in his pontificate really were providential in terms of setting things up to survive the crisis. Whatever criticisms some might have, we'd do well to thank God for these things (Thread):
The semi-trads would do well to consider that perhaps God’s Providence directed the Church’s Magisterium to spell out clearly the exalted status, power, and guarantees of the Papacy in the 19th & 20th centuries precisely so we would recognize the impostor popes when they arrived.
St Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church, taught that laymen can discern true pastors from false by their contradiction of previous teaching...
... and that they should anathematise such false pastors.

Many are still not recognising the distinction between a "bad pope" and a "publicly heretical pope."
Popes can be morally bad and can make mistakes in their governance of the Church. Popes exist along the whole spectrum from saint to sinner.
But popes can't be non-Catholics.
Vatican II gave states the power to shut down public worship. Religions are to be free in society, "provided the just demands of public order are observed" (DH4) Who decides what public order demands? The secularised state, not the

.
This is getting embarrassing to watch.
I hope the popesplainers lecturing us for not using their falsified mistranslation are keeping up. "The Party" has changed its position again.
This is not the Roman Catholic Church.
Newman would be a sedevacantist.
"If, on the one hand, we believe that a Pope can add to our articles of faith, so, on the other, we hold also that a heretical Pope, ipso facto, ceases to be Pope by reason of his heresy, as I have said." Letter to Duke of Norfolk p 377.
Hoping for an empty Hell seems to entail one of two things. Either
1. Hell itself isn't permanent, which is heresy; or
2. Somehow, everyone dies in a state of grace. To put it mildly, this seems very unrealistic.
It is the year 2051 CE. Rad-trads have presumptuously declared, based on their own private judgment, that Pope Susan is in fact a woman, and therefore not the pope.

Let's be clear. Saying the Roman Church has defected is the same as saying she never was the true Church at all, which is indefectible.
The idea a false church could credibly have all the signs and marks of the true Church for 1960 years is totally improbable – impossible, even.
We're not sad. We're very happy! We have the Faith, and the conclusion that lets us make sense of things. We thank and love the good Lord for this.
What we don't have is an Anglicanised ecclesiology and the constant need to square the circle. See here:
"I desire and choose poverty with Christ poor, rather than riches; insults with Christ
loaded with them, rather than honours; and to be accounted as worthless and a fool for Christ, rather than to be esteemed as wise and prudent in this world. So Christ was treated before me."
These days, we hear that Vatican II's doctrine of religious liberty is no longer a serious problem, because Prof. Thomas Pink has reconciled the relevant documents.
On the contrary: Prof. Thomas Pink is WRONG about religious liberty – here’s why:
Progress of Popesplainers:
"Vatican II didn't mean all religions are a path to God."
"Francis' 'all religions are a path to God' doesn't mean that."
"All religions ARE a path to God."
Pius XI: "... altogether abandoning the divinely revealed religion.”
The tactic of this wave of propagandists seems to be to refuse resolutely to understand what those they condemn argue.
Personally, I think they don't actually care to understand: that they're not trying to refute, they're trying to capture an audience.
This attitude appears amongst some Catholics - it's as if they think that the Roman Church won the race, Orthodoxy came second, etc - and if it turns out that Rome cheated, then the runner up becomes the default winner.
This is not the right approach to fundamental theology.
Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are contradictory terms; no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist.

Have Bishops Williamson and Vigano concluded Francis isn't pope?
Even if is only for Francis, this would be positive.
We don't need 100% agreement. The Great Western Schism was healed by men disagreeing as to what happened, but agreeing how to solve it.
It is false that non-Guérardian sedevacantism ('totalism') entails forcing God to perform a miracle, apparition or some intervention. There are several other possibilities.
This has been stated many times.
It's a shame anyone continues to say otherwise.
"We declare it to be very profitable and consistent with the requirements of the time, that each one, according to the measure of his capacity and intelligence, should make a deep study of Christian doctrine."
Please say a prayer for a lovely, aged relative abroad. She collapsed and is in a coma with no brain activity.
It doesn't look like there will be a priest coming – or, given her situation vis a vis the Church, that he would be able to do much if he did.
But... God is good.
Oh man! You need 70 tweets to defend Francis' statement?
But then maybe even 70 isn't enough to defend the indefensible.
We can deal with this issue in one tweet: it was apostasy. See more below:

Disturbing: but like the lockdowns, this denying of a dying man the sacraments is Dignitatis Humanae and religious liberty in action: the Church is made subject to the state's conception of "just public order," (DH2) and Christ is uncrowned as King.
Around 1511, Cajetan wrote his famous work on The Pope and the Council.

That's why they sometimes lash out. But we have to put our fears aside and see what remains standing.

One of our pioneers called it, over 20 years ago.
This term can't be used to try to distinguish oneself from "the dreaded 1958/64/65 sedevacantist", except in emphasis.
The Fatima messages and warnings have much, much more to do with St Robert Bellarmine's conclusion on the "heretic pope" question than you think.
And it seems highly providential that his feast coincides with this anniversary. Here's why:
One of the five sins against the Immaculate Heart of Mary is blasphemy against her unique prerogative of having been immaculately conceived.
Denial of the Immaculate Conception leads to all sorts of problems. Read why God chose this grace for Our Lady:
