Candidates must be able to prove Apostolic Succession directly from Popes Peter, Linus, Cletus or Clement. NOTE: Greek Catholic/ Greek Orthodox Rite priests NEED NOT APPLY!!! We have arbitrarily decided not to like you guys either.

Is this a joke site? You have to admit, though, they have a pernt.
 
Yes, it is the funniest thing in the world. A friend of mine just showed it to me yesterday er saturday. It is now a bookmarked page.
 
**FACT: The traditional Roman Mass was celebrated in catacombs, NOT churches!!! **

Above ground churches are a LATE development in the Roman church which date to the legalization of Christianity by Constantine. They were NEVER part of the original Roman rite!

So what was so wrong with the church going above ground? Above ground is where PAGAN temples were built. And in order to appease and “get along with” their new false-god worshiping neighbors, modernist Romans started to build unholy ecumenical shrines that confirmed and incorporated their wrong and idolatrous ideas. Don’t just take my word for it–just ask a Jehovah’s Witness–even they’ll tell you it’s true!!!

The Pantheon for instance, was a PAGAN Roman temple which was reconsecrated as a church by Pope Boniface in A.D. 609!! Pagan building, Catholic building–what’s the difference, right?? Then in the reign of Pope Zacharias (741-752) another church was built on the ruins of a pagan temple and called “Santa Maria sopra Minerva”. Minerva was a Roman goddess–many Catholics DIED HORRIBLE DEATHS rather than offer a tiny pinch of incense to her. And yet their supposedly Christian descendants NAMED a church after her!!! Even the ecumaniacs at Assisi never did anything like this–put a false goddess’ name ON PAR with the Virgin Mary, Mother of God!!!

In accord with holy tradition therefore, we must reject any and all above-ground church structures, in accordance with the true traditional practice of the Roman church. Unfortunately, funding issues and zoning laws in our locality have so far prevented us from excavating new catacombs in our area, so we are temporarily headquartered behind the water heater in our basement.

I like this part about the catacombs and how they are now headquartered behind the water heater in their basement. This can’t be for real, can it?
 
I found it very funny. However, it basically intended for those in the PX Society and PV Society. In light of most topics on this forum dealing with liturgical abuses can one not ask, “Do those societies having liturgical abuses in their masses.” I find most adherents to Lefebvre a bit uncharitable and self-righteous. However, when they come to terms with Rome I believe their congregations will swell.

Can’t this website also be directed at the liturgical nuts who want to go back to the ancient church ???
 
Yes, funny, but incredibly sinful at the same time. Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom to the Church, and promised to protect it from error. These people claim that the Church is in error. They are insulting the Bride of Christ. I have a feeling that Christ won’t take lightly to having His Bride insulted.

To be clear, those who posted this web site absolutely agree that the Church is protected from error, in contrast to the claims of the radical traditionalists who claim “Vatican II adulterated Catholic teaching” such as the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX). It is called Reductio ad Adsurdum Argument.

On their web site, I see the following statement:
Wouldn’t you want to use a language that was actually spoken by the Apostles, rather than some barbarian language spoken by goatskin wearing savages? EVERY SINGLE BOOK of the New Testament was written in GREEK. Not Latin. Not Syriac. Not Coptic. Not Old Church Slavonic. And especially not English. This fact alone PROVES that these other languages are inventions of SATAN and CONDEMNED BY GOD.

Clearly they are saying that the Catholic Church is wrong to allow Mass is the vernacular. If they are calling the Church wrong, then they are not claiming that She is protected from error. This web site is filled with a plethora of blasphemy against the Church.

I believe they are being fecetious, absurd. That is the essence of Reductio ad Absurdum Argument. What we have here are consequences that are absurd in the sense of being obviously false and indeed even a bit ridiculous. It is obviously intending to refute the absurd conclusions of the SSPX.
 
I hope you’re right, Dave. It didn’t appear to me that way. I took it seriously, and saw it as dangerously divisive.

The site appears to be a joke.
 
I agree that the site seems to be rather sarcastic in tone. This guy is a linguistic scholar and has worked with an extinct Italic language (of which Italian is one) such as Oscan. He most likely knows that “Santa Maria sopra Minerva” means “Holy Mary above Minerva”.
