The Church is in ruins. I said that there was nothing good about the situation of the Church or the state of it now. I was not talking about the nature of the Church itself. I belong on the front lines battling for tradition. All the joy, passion, and energy is the traditionalist movement. We are the future.No one is asking you to leave it. I asked the question if you are sure this is where you belong, because you said in a previous post that you find nothing good about the Church.
The war has been going on for fifty years and we will win this in this century. There is only orthodoxy or heterodoxy.
I was not talikng about the seond coming or the end of the world. I was talking about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady of Fatima promised there will be an era of peace once all the events play out. The Church will reach it’s highest point in history, more glorious than the middle ages. The Church will guide and rule the world, while faith and respect will reach it’s highest point. That’s the promise from heaven.I have never seen a saint claim that the know how the story ends. All of the saints have professed faith in God’s love and mercy and pray that it will come soon. You claim to knowing that this is coming this century is contrary to what the scriptures say, “No one knows the day nor the hour.”
Love is more nobler it’s true, but truth is greater than love. There can be no love without truth. The saints loved truth to the point of opposing all error, including when Popes are wrong. St. Catherine of Sienna scolded the Pope to come back to Rome from France during the Avignon Captivity.Knowledge cannot replace love, especially love toward all people. Those great men and women who came before us loved truth so much that they also saw hunger, discrimination, injustice, families in crisis, abandoned youth, the value of prayer and discernment, the value of contemplation and solitude. Why don’t you start a thread on these truths and how to pray, how to listen to the Spirit, how to serve Christ in the poorest of the poor.
Pope John XXIII has not been canonized yet and he won’t be because there are too many questions about his orthodoxy.There is no doctrine against visiting a synogogue. The reason it was never done was because of the antagonism between the two groups. By the way, John XXIII invited the Jews to Vatican II and he is now on the fast track to canonization.
Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Mortalium Animos (On Religious Unity) stated that the only valid ecumenism is Catholic conversion. Past Popes have made statements on Judaism. traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/a028htJPII_VisitToSynagogue1986.htm
I am in no way denying Peter or the Papacy. Most Popes have followed the magisterium. I was talking about opposing individuals who are against the magisterium. I was talking about what the great Saints said which was we follow the magisterium and the good Popes. We do not follow bad Popes.If it’s not about the individual, just about the faith and the magisterium, how can there be a magisterium without Peter? Christ did not build his Church upon a council, he built it upon the faith of Peter. “You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church.” The person who occupies his chair has always been the most important person in the Church, for where there is Peter, there is the Church.
