and ill read the article above in minute
__but__ that you can shift towards rationalism if you reject magisterium from your own point of view (comparing it to the constant doctrine)
so he says that in order not to fall in the two extremes (modernism/sedevacantism), you have to be prudent
and that you need to accept the __hypothesis__ (not fact, except if it is made clear) of both the possibility of a vacance of the Siege / possibility that they were just bad popes
but in the end, it will end in the same way, the solution will come from the Church
be it anathema or condemnations
he says that the best position is that of the Resistance, but that their full rejection of the hypothesis of the vacance of the throne of Peter is questionable
That's basically the position I would ideally take, I'm more wondering what the historical case for it all is.
Like for example there are historical documents saying the latin mass can't be changed, that touching the eucharist with unordained hands is forbidden etc. and all of this happens nowadays.
So we either have to view this stuff as stuff that shouldnt be happen and should eventually be changed back or we have to view it as invalidating the modern church's teachings, as far as I can see.
Sedes will argue for the latter but I guess I'm wondering if theres a historical argument for the former
tbh I find SSPX nice since my priests are very trad ones
and are compassionate with sedes instead of spitting on them
but I'm not sede
Well what worries me about SSPX is that theyre not in full communion with Rome, correct?
but I guess it can depend on the parishes
well, how would they not be ?
they are _una cum_
I thought that SSPX wasn't in communion with the vatican
that's an argument from the anti sspx trads I guess
they usually tell us that we are in a schismatic position, but I fail to see how
especially since the bishops' excommunications were lifted, and that more and more they say that the sacraments (penance, marriage) are valid etc
and even licit
Well I don't judge people in SSPX but for me the position I'm trying to work my way towards is this:
insofar as the pope and conciliar church is not being heretical it still has jurisdiction. To be in communion with this church is to be in communion with the one true church, even though evil people and heretics have infiltrated it
Yeah but if SSPX isn't in full communion with Rome then is the Blessed Sacrament even valid there?
If it was I probably would have joined SSPX awhile ago
but from what I can tell the Church doesnt want to bring a strong condemnation down on them to avoid a conflict with 500000 people, but they are technically schismatic in that they aren't in communion with Rome
But if your personal conscience tells you to go there, by all means go ahead, I don't think theres a clear right choice here. SSPX is based, I just hesitate because of the stuff I wrote above
Hot take: SSPX is LARP because the Vatican fully embraced its own second council and new order
Interesting
Better LARP than heresy.
Though I don't think Vatican II is heresy, to clarify.
I dont get it. Catholics wanna leave because they do not agree with the pope
A friend of mine said they wanted to leave because they disagree with his stance on immigration and pro lgbt stuff he does
But where would they go? Nearly every Protestant church is just as bad, if not worse.
Like i am fairly certain you can disagree with some stuff the vatican does e.g. sex abuse, pro immigrant etc
If i thought for one second i had to agree with everything the church does to be catholic this would not be the path i would take
I'm actually going to be studying the doctrine of infallibility this year, so I'll know better in a few weeks or so.
The purpose of the church is to remain resolute in the times, so it can be quite concerning when the modernists crawl their way out of the woodwork
But the men of the church oft forget that they are a transient element of the church.
yeah you only have to agree with dogma and what is taught infallibly which is very narrow
my dilemma has always been what to do when the modernists contradict dogma
They could return to the true church, that's where they could go
The Vatican is as cucked as its bastard Protestant children
I don't think this is an argument we really want to have.
The Church has survived worse than this nonsense.
