The Dreaded "H" Word....
By: Eric Gajewski
What separates true traditionalists from false traditionalists is this unwillingness to admit we are fighting against a New Religion (Novus Ordo)
St. Thomas (II-II:11:1) defines heresy: "a species of infidelity in men who, having professed the faith of Christ, corrupt its dogmas". "The right Christian faith consists in giving one's voluntary assent to Christ in all that truly belongs to His teaching. There are, therefore, two ways of deviating from Christianity: the one by refusing to believe in Christ Himself, which is the way of infidelity, common to Pagans and Jews; the other by restricting belief to certain points of Christ's doctrine selected and fashioned at pleasure, which is the way of heretics. The subject-matter of both faith and heresy is, therefore, the deposit of the faith, that is, the sum total of truths revealed in Scripture and Tradition as proposed to our belief by the Church. The believer accepts the whole deposit as proposed by the Church; the heretic accepts only such parts of it as commend themselves to his own approval.
The Second Vatican Council WAS a Revolution and therefore cannot be accepted by anyone daring to call themselves Catholic. It is essentially a rewrite of the Synod of Pistoia which was condemned by the Church. It does not matter that Vatican II was a universal "council"... the same principles apply; we are in a universal apostasy. Vatican II lacked the necessary characteristics to be called "dogmatic" and thus did not receive the Holy Ghost's protection. Those who say anything less that we need a complete eradication (compromisers/heretics) of Vatican II are in delusion and thus Catholics cannot work with these types. Vatican II is not Tradition but rather is the new playbook of the modernist who insanely dream of man's new utopia. If Pope Paul the 6th summed up the Second Vatican Council as being the blueprint of the "cult of man" (FreeMasonry) then NO CATHOLIC can say we can accept the Council. Sadly the pseudo traditionalists, the neo-sspx included, hold to this delusional opinion, which is why we must keep our distance from them (compromise).
Michael Matt and the silly Real vs. Virtual Council argument...common amongst Pseudo Traditionalists...
Please do not fall for the vast "underselling" of the pseudo traditionalist camp on this crisis. It is far worse than they "paint the picture" to be and displace the blame by removing attention off of the Conciliar texts wilst hiding behind the impotent "spirit of Vatican II" argument. What will the pseudo traditionalists say when the formal uniting of humanity occurs? Will they still sadly cling to the Council as "Catholic" (just some error in it) which does not even make sense. How does the Holy Ghost teach any error? The Apostate Church is right around the corner! Will they still not "touch the Council" then even though it will be used to solidify the New Religion? Until then we must keep our distance from them....the Conciliar Church is already in a "silent schism"
Where do the Sedevacantists go wrong then? First, the Popes are not manifest heretics because these modernists truly do believe what they are teaching is Catholic whence in reality it is not. Clear minds can see this prideful and ignorant souls cannot. Secondly, it is the common opinion of the esteemed theologians, that, those teaching heresy, would have to first be warned then removed by just authority (which obviously hasn't happened). They DO NOT just lose office "ipso facto" that does not even work in the business world let alone in the Church. Their formal sentence will come at a later Council and they will receive their "just sentence" like Pope Honorius did when churchmen restore their sanity. Popes can materially reign over the Church wilst not being a member of the Church interiorly. This is something that is to hard for Sedevacantists to comprehend. Their rigidity also has many of them falling for the heresy of Feeneyism (such the case of the Dimond Brother cult)
