29, 2024 edition of its “Ask Father” column, Fr. Joseph Wilson (the “Father” who
is “asked” the questions) replied to a letter from a prisoner named “N” which
expressed concern over the veracity of the so-called “blessings” of sodomite
unions recently permitted by Pope Francis. The prisoner mentioned that he
shares the newspaper with fellow Christian prisoners and was asked by them to
give a defense of same-sex “blessings” in light of Scripture and Tradition
(this author, too, would like the Pope to offer such a defense to this latest
“discipline”). </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

catholicus</i>, has been scandalized by what <i>Fiducia Supplicans</i> appears
to sanction, even if it also expresses a correct doctrinal judgment concerning
the nature of marriage. The very fact that there has been a negative, universal
reaction to the document – from Cardinals to laity – in spite of its
affirmation of the doctrine of Holy Matrimony, is evidence of a <i>prima facie </i>incoherence
with Catholic moral teaching and discipline.</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Wilson’s efforts to alleviate the
prisoner’s concern – which I no doubt believe were well-intentioned – actually
promote a heresy (one that is becoming surprisingly common today), and thus serve
as an example of how an overreaction to the errors of the Left can actually
result in an even worse error on the Right. To reiterate, it is not Fr.
Wilson’s sincerity that is being questioned; rather, it is Catholic dogma that
must be defended, even when it is being denied with the best of intentions, as I’m
sure Fr. Wilson would agree. That is the purpose of this article. </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

long-time colleague of mine) requesting that he publish the article, but have
not heard back from him. It would be most appropriate if Mr. Matt publish this
fraternal correction, since he published Fr. Wilson’s heretical material in the
first place. <a href="https://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/is-pope-head-of-church-dont-ask-father.html" target="_blank">Continue reading... </a></span></p></span></div><div style="text-align: center; text-indent: 48px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">____________________________________</span></span></div><div style="background-color: #fff2cc;

Paul Kramer, Ann Barnhardt, and Elizabeth Yore, was devoted to enlightening all of us as to why Pope Francis is really an antipope. Like all Sedevacantists, one of the reasons advanced by Mazza & Company in support of their theory is that Francis is a heretic, and heretics cannot hold jurisdiction in the Church. Quite amusingly, during his talk, Mazza put up a slide which quoted from Karl Rahner (the liberal Vatican II peritus) who says “But possession of ordinary ecclesiastical authority and non-membership in the Church [for public material heresy] are mutually exclusive notions…” <a href="https://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/ed-mazza-accuses-john-salza-of-error.html" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></span></span></span></p></h3><h3>_______________________________________________________________</h3><h3><a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/sspx-indefensible.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span><b>SSPX: Indefensible<br /></b></span></span></span><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span>A Concise Treatment of the Canonical Status of the Society of St. Pius X</span></b></span></span></a></h3><h2 style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative;"><div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444;"><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span></div></h2><h3><span><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 19.26px; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; padding: 0in;">By<br /></span></span></span></span><span><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 19.26px; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; padding: 0in;">Noah Weidig and Wesley Weidig</span></span></span></span></h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cuprum; font-size: 20px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cuprum; font-size: 20px; text-align: start;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; padding: 0in;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cuprum; font-size: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; padding: 0in;">Introductory Note:</span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; padding: 0in;"> The authors wish to express their deepest gratitude to John Salza Esq. and Robert Siscoe for their incredible writing on this subject.

Is the SSPX a part of the Catholic Church? Is it schismatic or excommunicated? Do its priests and bishops have jurisdiction? Does the Society have a canonical mission? While these questions may appear to be a wholesale dismissal of the organization, they are of serious concern since roughly 600,000 Catholic faithful regularly attend SSPX Masses and receive their sacraments.</span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; padding: 0in;"><a href="https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/a5a441e9-cf6e-4340-a9ab-b263e627cf41/blog/48f257f7-3293-4cc8-b530-d0b6c272849b/edit?referralInfo=sidebar&tab=unpublished#_ftn1" style="color: #ae0f0f; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">[1]</span></a><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"> To avoid these questions would be gravely negligent, as the salvation of souls is at stake.

This is because one error is generally based upon another error, or multiple errors, resulting in a tangled web of interdependent errors that can only be untangled by systematically addressing each error, one at a time (not to mention having the theological knowledge to do so). We see how complex this web of errors can be, by just looking at the Society’s treatment of the Church’s Profession of Faith, promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1989. <a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/the-1989-profession-of-faith-more.html" target="_blank">Continue reading.</a>..</span></p></span></div><div style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;"><span>________________________________________________________________</span></div><div style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;"><span><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 22.8267px;"><a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/who-sent-you-keeping-all-complicit.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Who Sent You?” Keeping All Complicit Clergy Accountable</span></a><o:p style="font-size: 16pt;"></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"><o:p> By</o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"><o:p>Andrew Bartel</o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">(</span><a href="https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2023/03/14/answering-six-objections-from-the-sspx/"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">This article was first published by Catholic World Report on March 14, 2023.</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"> After twenty-four hours of blowback from critics on social media, the editorial team at CWR removed some of the offensive expressions in the concluding paragraphs. We believe that these sentences should not have been censored, since they convey important grave realities about the situation of the Society of St. Pius X. The imagery of marriage and human sexuality as a way of understanding the drama between God and his people is of ancient usage in the Judeo-Christian tradition, from the Old Testament prophets to the Gospels, and from the Epistles of St. Paul to the Fathers, Doctors, and Saints of the Church. Considering Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre himself made use of the same kind of imagery in his (in)famous sermon at Lille on August 29, 1976, the hypocrisy of the outraged pro-SSPX critics is strikingly evident.

In short, <b>the SSPX</b> is not <b>part of</b>, nor has been <b>sent by</b>, the Roman Catholic Church, and the SSPX also rejects the Catholic Church’s universal Profession of Faith (among other doctrines). Moreover, the bishops of the SSPX were selected and consecrated contrary to the will of the Holy Father, and thus are schismatics.

Society’s schism were aired, Fr. Gleize attempts to refine the Society’s position on schism and the 1988
consecrations. In fact, Fr. Gleize tries to use the teachings of Pope Pius XII –
who condemned illicitly consecrated bishops as “thieves and robbers” - to show
that the “episcopate in the Society is not schismatic.”Clearly, Fr. Gleize believed it was necessary to confront the very teachings
from Pius XII we have used this past year to demonstrate the SSPX’s schism, by
trying to make distinctions that spare the Society from the Pope’s
condemnations. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Unfortunately, Fr. Gleize’s efforts have backfired on him.</span></span></p>

admission and a fatal theological error which proves, without a doubt, that the

declared. <a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/sspx-priest-proves-society-is-inschism.html" target="_blank">Continue...</a></span></div></span><div><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span style="font-size: xx-large; text-indent: 48px;">___________</span><span style="font-size: xx-large; text-indent: 48px;">_______________________</span></div></div><div style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;"><span style="text-indent: 48px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><p align="center" class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/email-exchange-between-robert-siscoe.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%;">EMAIL

There was no need for canonical warnings or a declaration from the Church, they assure us, for the Saint to reach his verdict.

In fact, one could substitute “SSPX” for “Salza 2013” etc., because all my former positions that the <i>One Peter Five</i> piece presents, were simply SSPX talking points, which I gleaned from Society writings during the time I was attending the SSPX chapel and adopted as my own.

Steven Reuter attempts to explain why the Society of St. Pius X rejects the approach of interpreting the documents of Vatican II in light of Tradition, or what Pope Benedict XVI called “the hermeneutic of continuity,” and instead believes the conciliar documents must be thrown out altogether. The SSPX’s position is based on the view that the documents don’t merely contain ambiguous statements that allow for an interpretation that is contrary to Tradition, but instead are full of teachings that positively teach error, and or even heresy, and therefore cannot be reconciled with Tradition, no matter how hard we might try. Consequently, the SSPX advocates that the documents of Vatican II should be rejected <i>in toto</i> (as a whole), rather than understood using a hermeneutic (or method <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;">of interpretation) in light of the Church’s prior teaching. <a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/exposing-sspxs-rejection-of-hermeneutic.html" target="_blank">Continue...</a></span></p><p style="background: rgb(255, 242, 204); margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></p><h2 style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/a-refutation-of-sspxs-appeal-to.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 22.8267px; mso-color-alt: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">A Refutation of the SSPX’s </span></b><b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 22.8267px; mso-color-alt: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Appeal to Canonical Equity</span></b><b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 22.8267px; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p> <br /></o:p></span></b></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk78190567;"><b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #cc0000; line-height: 22.8267px; mso-color-alt: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/a-refutation-of-sspxs-appeal-to.html" target="_blank">John Salza Replies to Fr.

As we will see, Mr. Jackson's principle error is that he does not und</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">erstand that the “Catholic rite” of canon 1248 must be a liturgical rite that is celebrated in a</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Catholic church <i>sui iuris</i></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">(that is, a church lawfully erected by the supreme authority) and in</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">full communion</b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">with the Roman Catholic Church, and not just an approved Missal.

The four questions Fr. Wiseman asks are: (1) Is there a crisis in the Church?; (2) Is the root of the crisis found in Vatican II and the New Mass?; (3) Should we publicly reject Vatican II and the New Mass?; and, (4) Should we recognize as Catholic the Roman authorities responsible for the crisis? <a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/exposing-sspxs-errors-oncollegiality.html" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></span></span></p><p style="background: rgb(255, 242, 204); margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></p><p style="background: rgb(255, 242, 204); margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></p></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/collegiality-part-i.html" target="_blank"><span><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Collegiality in Light of Tradition<br /></span></span></b></span><span><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;"><i>Is Collegiality a Novelty of Vatican II or the Traditional Doctrine on the Episcopate?</i></span></b></span></a></span></h2><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">By<br /></span></span><span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Robert J.

collegiality, but admittedly never quite understanding it, I finally decided to
delve into the controversial topic to find out exactly what Vatican II taught
and why it is wrong. To my surprise, what I discovered is that collegiality, as
taught in Lumen Gentium, chapter III, and in the new Code of Canon law, <b>is
entirely traditional from start to finish</b>. There is absolutely nothing
novel about it, and nothing that conflicts in the least with Pastor Aeternus, or anything
else taught in Vatican I. Quite the contrary, as we will
see. <a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/collegiality-part-i.html" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

In fact, we were forced to recognize that the Society advances the same erroneous arguments as the Sedevacantists do, to justify their operation without mission, which is contrary to the divine law.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in; text-align: start; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">In the course of our study, we also realized that the SSPX embraces other critical theological errors (on the Profession of Faith, juridical mission, supplied jurisdiction, Collegiality, sacramental intention, the nature of the Church, etc.) which we are addressing in our series of articles. Because many of these errors are rooted in an erroneous understanding of the Church itself (errors in ecclesiology), they are actually graver than the Liberal errors on the Left, and that is because they lead Catholics <i>out of the Church</i>, outside of which there is no salvation.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in; text-align: start; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">It is our firm hope and prayer that the Society renounce its doctrinal errors and accepts the Church’s Profession of Faith, so that it can be reconciled with the Roman Catholic Church, and given a canonical mission to carry out its ministry lawfully. It is for this purpose that we make our position public, so that the Society’s leadership (and those who support the SSPX) will see the truth, and take the necessary steps toward achieving the long-awaited reconciliation.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial;

As with my first opponent (Nishant Xavier), Mr. Hall’s approach was to give a general apologia for the SSPX and the “salvation of souls,” without directly addressing <i>any</i> of my arguments (which are actually the <i>de fide</i> teachings of the Catholic Church).

Many efforts to answer this question have fallen short of a proper and thorough interpretation of the law. For example, in a recent podcast entitled “Am I Allowed to Attend an SSPX Mass?” (Episode 47, <i>Crisis</i> series</span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Rob/Downloads/Feature%20-%20Does%20Attending%20an%20SSPX%20Mass%20Fulfill%20One's%20Sunday%20Obligation%20(1).docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">), Fr. Michael Goldade provided <i>no </i>analysis of canon 1248 (other than displaying the canon’s language on screen), which is the only canon directly relevant to the question. Notwithstanding the purpose of the podcast, Father Goldade explained neither the canonical requirements of canon 1248, nor how SSPX Masses satisfy the requirements. Instead, his primary argument was that Catholics can attend an SSPX Mass, and presumably fulfill the obligation, because Catholics have a right to do so (which is a logical fallacy). <a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/does-assisting-at-sspx-mass-fulfill.html" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></span></span></p></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span><b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;"><a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/the-sspx-rejects-all-church-approved.html" target="_blank">The SSPX Rejects All<br /></a></span></b></span><span><b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;">

Mauro Tranquillo of the SSPX was interviewed on the subject of Sedevacantism. In the interview, Fr. Tranquillo attempted to highlight a contradiction in the Sedevacantist position. After correctly explaining that all ordinary jurisdiction (i.e., power of governance) in the Church comes through the Pope, Fr. Tranquillo made some troubling statements.

statements made by Fr. Mauro Tranquillo, SSPX in an interview given for the
Society of St. Pius X’s Crisis in the Church series (Episode 34), in which Fr.
Tranquillo claimed that Sedevacantist priests receive supplied jurisdiction for
confessions even for those not in danger of death, on the ground that we are in
a “state of necessity.” We demonstrated that Fr. Tranquillo makes an erroneous
extrapolation of the suppletory principle by extending its application from
extreme cases of danger of death to cases where there is no danger of death, which
has no basis in canon law or the canonical tradition of the Church.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cuprum; line-height: normal; text-align: start;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fff2cc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: rgb(255, 242, 204); font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> We further showed that common error, which is another condition that triggers supplied jurisdiction, also does not apply to Sedevacantist and other independent clergy, because...

This new material proves that every Sedevacantist apologist for the past 40 year has misunderstood and misrepresented Bellarmine's 5th opinion, and that the way in which we interpreted Bellarmine in <i>True or False Pope?</i> is exactly correct. </span></div><div style="font-family: Cuprum; font-size: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"> The article shows how Bellarmine refuted the Sedevacantists of his day (the early Protestants), with an argument that applies equally to their Sedevacantist counterparts of our day, and in fact is the same argument we have used against them. We also quote the counter argument that a 16th century Lutheran scholar used against Bellarmine in an attempt to defend his Sedevacantist position - which just so happens to be the <i>exact same</i> argument that Fr. Cekada, Fr. Kramer, Mario Derksen of Novus Ordo Watch, and the other Sedevacantist apologists of our day have used to defend the same error against us!</span></div><div style="font-family: Cuprum; font-size: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"> We also address the key issue of how the Church can judge that a Pope is a heretic, while he remains Pope, without violating the Pope's personal immunity from judgment ("the first see is judged by no one").</span></div><div style="font-family: Cuprum; font-size: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"> Lastly, we end by refuting Fr. Kramer's embarrassing new error concerning the charism of infallibility, which he mistakenly believes a Pope can only enjoy if he possesses the virtue of faith "as its dispositive habit." <a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/the-true-meaning-of-bellarmines-ipso.html" target="_blank">Full article here</a>.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7fCccKiIUAA" width="320" youtube-src-id="7fCccKiIUAA"></iframe></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span color="var(--ytd-video-primary-info-renderer-title-color, var(--yt-spec-text-primary))" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span color="var(--ytd-video-primary-info-renderer-title-color, var(--yt-spec-text-primary))" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-size: small;">John Salza on Freemasonry's Infiltration of the Church (October 2020)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span color="var(--ytd-video-primary-info-renderer-title-color, var(--yt-spec-text-primary))" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

Kramer accuses us of holding <i>concerning the specific issue of how heresy severs a person from the Church</i>, from which are borne the two main straw man arguments he attacks throughout his book. We will demonstrate that all three accusations are entirely false by quoting directly from our book. Once these accusations of heresy are shown to be false, the two main straw man arguments – which together constitute the <i>foundation</i> he spends most of his time attacking - will be removed; and when the foundation is taken away, all the arguments and false accusations of heresy erected upon it will crumble (which will then require that Fr. Kramer re-write his entire “refutation”). </span><span style="font-family: "cuprum" , serif; font-size: 15.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Kramer mistakenly believes refutes our position (quite the contrary, as we will see!). In Parts III and IV, we will discuss the question of how a heretical prelate loses his jurisdiction/office, <b>which is not the same question as how heresy severs a person from the Church (these are two distinct issues)</b>. This will include important material that we have never published before, as well as recently translated material from St. Bellarmine that refutes Fr. Kramer’s and the Sedevacantists’ interpretation and <i>application</i> of his opinion concerning a heretical Pope, and confirms precisely what we have been arguing for years. </span><span style="font-family: "cuprum" , serif; font-size: 15.5pt;"><a href="http://www.trueorfalsepope.com/p/exposing-theerrors-of-fr.html"><span style="color: #ae0f0f; font-family: "book antiqua" , serif; text-decoration-line: none;">Click here for Part I </span></a></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-size: medium;"><i>True or False Pope?</i> is the most thoroughly researched, detailed and systematic refutation of Sedevacantism that exists. In this 700 page tome, John Salza and Robert Siscoe present material from Popes, ecumenical councils and Doctors of the Church that you will never find on a Sedevacantist website. Quoting directly from today’s leading Sedevacantist apologists, Salza and Siscoe reveal how Sedevacantists have distorted the teachings of their favorite Popes and theologians, especially St. Robert Bellarmine, and how they even contradict each other. The book also reveals the many unfortunate tactics used by Sedevacantists in an effort to “prove” their case.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span><span>The authors begin by demonstrating that Sedevacantism logically results in a denial of the attributes (visibility, indefectibility, infallibility) and marks (especially apostolicity) of the Catholic Church. After explaining the bonds that unite man to the Church, the authors explain the distinction between heresy and lesser errors, and how the sin of heresy alone does not sever one from external union with the Church. The authors then go on to provide the most detailed analysis in print of what the Church does in the case of a heretical Pope, based upon the teachings of all the classical theologians who addressed the topic. After a very important explanation of the scope of infallibility (papal, conciliar, disciplinary, New Mass, canonizations), the authors address Sedevacantist arguments against the new rites of episcopal consecration and ordination. The authors conclude by affirming the Recognize & Resist position of Traditional Catholics, and expose in great detail the bitter fruits of Sedevacantism.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span><span>This groundbreaking work proves the Sedevacantist thesis is an overreaction to the crisis in the Church, akin to the reflexive “faith” of Protestantism. This explains why Sedevacantists are divided into many competing factions and sects (some of which have elected their own "Popes) that contradict and condemn each other. The book also underscores that the Church is currently suffering a mystical Passion similar to that of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Like those who lost faith in Christ during His Passion, Sedevacantists have lost faith in the Church, His Mystical Body, as it passes through a similar Passion of its own. Having lost their faith in the Church, they have become among her most bitter persecutors. No matter what one’s perspective is on the crisis of the Church, anyone who reads this book will conclude in no uncertain terms that Sedevacantism – one of the great modern errors of our times – far from being a “solution” to the crisis, cannot be held or defended in good faith by any true Catholic.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For decades, Fr. Anthony Cekada has been publicly promoting the position that the man elected to the papal office by the Church, and accepted as Pope by the Church, is not, in fact, a true Pope. In other words, for decades Fr. Cekada has been publicly promoting his own personal opinion, even though it is in direct opposition to the public judgment of the Church. Added to this, and demonstrating a profound lack of humility, he has publicly mocked, ridiculed and engaged in childishness name-calling against those Catholics who refuse to accept his personal opinion regarding this matter.</div>

judgment of the Church, and instead present his personal opinion as a fact which other Catholics must accept, we believe it is entirely appropriate for us to consider whether Fr. Cekada has the ability to form correct and sound judgments on moral and doctrinal issues. For our example, we will consider Fr. Cekada’s personal judgment regarding the Terri Schiavo case. We will also look at Fr. Cekada’s latest post (in response to our interview with Louie Verrecchio) and show that his arguments have hit a new intellectual low.</div>

<b><i>Sedevacantist Watch...</i><br /><br />HYPOCRISY ALERT: FR. CEKADA RECOGNIZES AND RESISTS POPE PIUS XII</b><br />
<br />
In our book “True or False Pope?, we devote an entire chapter to explaining the Church’s theology behind the “Recognize and Resist” position, that is, the necessity to recognize a Pope or bishop’s authority to rule while, at the same time,<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6qyzK6rbcgM/VpBKVKEcikI/AAAAAAAAWfs/ymLgwwHWIJc/s1600/PopePius-XII.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6qyzK6rbcgM/VpBKVKEcikI/AAAAAAAAWfs/ymLgwwHWIJc/s320/PopePius-XII.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
resisting any erroneous teachings or evil commands. In the chapter, we provide many quotations from saints, Popes and Doctors of the Church who explicitly advocated the position as part of Catholic teaching, and provide real life, historical examples of saints putting this teaching into practice. These teachings and practical examples of the saints will help to guide confused Catholics through today’s crisis.<br />
<br />
Because Fr. Cekada has an erroneous understanding of papal infallibility (which we also expose in great detail in our book), he believes the teachings and disciplines of a true Pope can never be “resisted” because a true Pope, according to Cekada, “cannot give error or evil.” In fact, Fr. Cekada actually calls those who resist the novelties of the conciliar Popes (that is, Traditional Catholics) heretics. But, in labeling heretics those who acknowledge that Paul VI was a true Pope, while resisting the non-binding liturgical reforms issued during his pontificate, Fr. Cekada indicts himself of the crime by his own standards, since he rejects the liturgical reforms of Pope Pius XII, whom he recognizes as a true Pope! That’s right, Cekada does exactly what he ridicules others for doing – namely, “recognizing” Pius XII as a valid Pope, while he “sifts” and even rejects his liturgical legislation. [1]<br />
<br />
Fr. Cekada thereby condemns himself by his own judgment, as Scripture says: “Wherefore thou art inexcusable, O man, ... For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou dost the same things which thou judgest.” (Rom. 2:1).<br />
<br />
[1] See Fr. Cekada’s articles: “Is Rejecting the Pius XII Liturgical Reforms ‘Illegal’?” (April 27, 2006); and “The Pius XII Reforms: More on the ‘Legal Issue,’”(July 11, 2006).<br />
