He also said that the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, which the SSPXers reject, were "not negotiable."
Back in January, the Vatican formally lifted a 20-year-old excommunication imposed on four SSPX bishops who where ordained in defiance of the late Pope John Paul II in 1988 by French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. This caused quite a stir, see Benedict's reconciliation move stirs controversy, not least because one of the bishops was a well-known Holocaust denier.
Cardinal Schoenborn needs to
Cardinal Schoenborn needs to put his own house in order. He and the Bishops of Austria were severly reprimmanded by Pope Benedict XVl. Because of the rampant heresies of the clergy and the faithful of Austria. The Pope angrily said to the Austrian Bishops, "You will teach the Catechism from the first page to the last." The SSPX needs to be taught what the Second Vatican Council Teaches. As Pope Benedict has said, "In light of Tradition." Exactly
what is respect for other religions. This is something that has been so misinterpreted since the end of the Council. Other religions have blasphemed Christ and his Church, and somehow we are to remain silent or the other religions demand apoligies, Burn down Churches, murder Bishops, Priests, Religious and laity. Catholics are insanely disrespected and hated. Other religions pray daily for the death of all Catholics, some carry out the executions themselves. They hate us and they don't hide it. They fully demonstrate what they really think of us. We are not allowed to speak of this, because we must respect other religions. The SSPX speaks out, and now they are accused of rejecting Vatican ll. Something is not right!
It bothers me that the
It bothers me that the Vatican is "negotiating" doctrine at all we the SSPX extremists.
Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn
Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn is no fool. He was the architect of pope Benedict's election in the conclave but wasn't afraid to lend his voice to the criticism of Pope Benedict's decision.
I will be very surprised if this goes anywhere. The rebels whole purpose for being is their anathema of Vatican II, to capitulate would mean the end. Even w/ overtures from the Vatican they still ordained men this Spring, a sure sign they're not giving in and a slap in the face to the pope. However, B16 is a clever guy, they underestimate him in my opinion. He turned it over to the CDF because he knows this isn't going anywhere and he can blame it on "theological differences". By allowing the extraordinary form he can draw parishoners from the SSPX and finish it off in the same way the extraordinary form in England has emaciated the rebel "Latin Mass Society" in a little over a year.
It is just insulting to label
It is just insulting to label this fringe group as "traditionalists". The Pope is a true traditionalist, which apparently this author doesn't like so he attempts a camoflauged smear by linking all traditionalists to this group. On what basis, they reject Vatican II? True traditionalists may reject the progressive ideas that people put forth as "in the spirit of Vatican II", but these things were never intended by the Council, and they are sometimes heretical! Reformers within and outside the Church seem to read what the desire into Vatican II, history should teach them we dont do this in the Catholic Church! V. II is not a "living" and evolving document some would have you believe the U. S. Constitution should be! If you want to protest Doctrine...joins a Protestant heresy!
Anoymous, Your post is
Anoymous, Your post is exactly truthfully written. Any Catholic who loves the extraordinary form of mass is labeled a rebel. Dr. Dale, wrights of The Latin Mass Society, as a rebel group. who were somehow crushed by the great Bishops of England. The fact is, the Latin Mass Society of England has had the Blessing of every Pope since Paul Vl. If the SSPX is Anti-Vatican ll, then the English Bishops are by far worse. Those Bishops made every attempt to crush those who accept the Old Mass after the Holy Father's Motu Proprio.
ArchBishop Ranjith told the English Bishops straight out, that they were committing a Mortal Sin. Pope Benedict XVl then in turn crushed the unnaceptable plots against Traditional Catholics, By the English Bishops.
I like what former Father
I like what former Father James Carroll said in his book Constantine's Sword. Why can't we just do that?
As a practicing Conservative Jew, it would be nice.
In this time of the Days of Awe,
Have a Happy New Year.
Let's stop the hatred.
Love,
NHG.
