When Pope Benedict XV Reminded the Jews that Salvation is Found in the Gospels

Vatican Letter of Feb. 9, 1916

When Pope Benedict XV Reminded the Jews that Salvation is Found in the Gospels

Last week ‘Bishop’ Joseph Charles Bambera of Scranton, Pennsylvania, caused a ruckus when in his role as chairman of the USCCB Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, he posted the following video message for Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Talmudic Judaism:

.
Bambera began thus: “As our Jewish friends and neighbors observe Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, I want to extend my warmest wishes for a meaningful and a peaceful day.”

So far, so bad.… READ MORE

Taylor Marshall Says He Prays To ‘Pope’ Francis: ‘I Ask Him to Pray For Me’

Prepping his audience for a future ‘canonization’?

Taylor Marshall Says He Prays To ‘Pope’ Francis:
“I Ask Him to Pray For Me”

What has happened to Taylor Marshall? That is a question not a few people are asking themselves these days.

Ever since the election of Robert Francis Prevost as ‘Pope Leo XIV’ — or, to be more precise, ever since the day after the election of Leo XIV — the philosophy professor, author, former Anglican priest, and now professional influencer, podcaster, and liver cleanser salesman Dr. Taylor Marshall has shifted away from his hardcore recognize-and-resist position that catapulted him to fame beginning around 2018.… READ MORE

The Infallibility of the Catholic Church in her Universal Laws and Sacramental Rites

In his 1943 encyclical letter on the Mystical Body of Christ, Pope Pius XII (r. 1939-1958) clarified that the Roman Catholic Church, although made up of human beings who are sinners, is nevertheless perfectly holy in those things that pertain to her divine constitution and the fulfillment of her mission — that of teaching, governing, and sanctifying souls so that they may attain the Beatific Vision. As “the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Tim 3:15), our Lord’s is thus “a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but … holy, and without blemish” (Eph 5:27).… READ MORE

Did the Council of Florence Teach Error? A Response to Athanasius Schneider’s Attempt to Save Vatican II

Talk about being in error!

Did the Council of Florence Teach Error? A Response to Athanasius Schneider’s Attempt to Save Vatican II

No matter how one looks at it, the only way one can ever justify or excuse the abominable Second Vatican Council (1962-65) is by trashing the Catholic Church prior to the council. Mr. Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary “bishop” (why the quotes?) of the diocese of Maria Santissima in Astana, Kazakhstan, has just shown that that goes not only for open Modernists but also for some “traditionalists.”

In a newly-released text, the Kazakh prelate once again repeats his claim that there is historical precedent for the idea that a Pope can correct the errors of a prior ecumenical council.… READ MORE

PART  3

(continued from Part 2 and Part 1)

Response to “Are They Really Bishops? (3)”:
The Cardinal Gasparri Argument

Finally, we come to the third and last installment of the Rev. John Hunwicke’s argumentation on the 1968 rite of episcopal ordination. There the formerly Anglican Englishman delivers what he must believe to be the deathblow to our position, the coup de grâce that represents the culmination of all the theological prowess he has deigned to share with us unworthy ones on this topic.… READ MORE
