SEDE VACANTE (EST)
 Quoting: Builder of the Adytum


Yep! Latin for "the seat is vacant" or something like that.
 Quoting: Fortunabeargirl


I've been reading about it, and it means "The seat of St. Peter is vacant," although the direct translation from Latin would not include the part about Peter.

I see, now, why they haven't ever formed a separate church. Part of their problem with Vatican II is its embrace of ecumenism, so the sedevacantists are in a Catch 22 situation where they see the RCC as the one true church, outside of which salvation is impossible, but they also see the leadership of that church as illegitimate, so if they leave the church formally, they are condemned, but if they don't, they have to deal with an impostor leading their church which, I assume, while not good, is preferable to eternal damnation.

So the Commie Anti-Christ is making more restrictions. I left that church years ago. I also had a dream when I was a teenager (I'm hella old now), about The Vatican and basilica getting destroyed by an atomic bomb. Very vivid dream.

Thanks.

That being the case, it sounds like, unless Francis changes his mind, or a Latin Mass-supporting successor is elected next, their only real option is to go underground which seems like what they did between Vatican II and Benedict. Isn't disobedience to Rome considered sinful, though? Living in unrepentant sin within the church would, as far as I can tell, be just as bad as becoming Protestant in the eyes of the RCC.

Pope Francis has just made things extremely difficult for Traditional Catholics!

"Pope Francis reimposed restrictions on Latin Mass on Friday in a move that goes against his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI's previous decision in 2007 and sparked anger with church traditionalists.

Francis issued a new law, effective immediately, requiring bishops to approve celebrations of old Latin Mass."
 Quoting: Fortunabeargirl


He may have just drawn down an ancient curse upon himself:

Quo primum, issued on July 14, 1570 by Pope Pius V, said of the Tridentine Rite:

"We grant in perpetuity that this Missal is hereafter freely and lawfully to be used, without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty or censure...No one whosoever is permitted to alter this notice of our permission, statute, ordinance, command, precept, grant, indult, declaration, will, decree, and prohibition. Should anyone dare to contravene it, let him know that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul."
 Quoting: Et Sano


This is VERY TRUE!
 Quoting: Fortunabeargirl


I firmly believe that the 1570 missal was issued with this edict because Pope Pius suspected that the Jesuits would try to change it.

Even in those, Loyola's military order was being seen as a mistake by many.

Of course, for a long while the Society of Jesus was disbanded for it's utterly ruthless and seditious tactics.

I hold the Society of Jesus to be the most dangerous order on this earth. Bar none.

And now the wolves sit squarely in Peter's seat.

I'll take Eucharist with you, and even worship with the liturgy, but I'm not going anywhere near being a Romanist. Rome needs a flamethrower taken to it.

Why do you follow the teachings of corrupt humans instead of the Spirit of Christ?

Endlessly regurgitating ancient Catholic traditions mean nothing to Him. Anyone can memorize and repeat written traditions, even if their heart is faithless. Faith and love is everything. Not everyone can have that faith in their heart which is why it’s so special.

You would think a bishop of Rome would have no effect on Protestants, but you would be wrong.

Re: Pope Francis has just made things extremely difficult for Traditional Catholics!
I don't know why Catholics are surprised. Ratzinger himself issued warning in the 80s about Bergoglio.

They make it look squeaky clean on the outside, but Ratzinger and Bergoglio were nearly mortal enemies in years past.

I'm a protestant, but I know all the dirt that's been swept under the rug with those two.

They had diametrically opposed views on the direction of the church.

I've been reading about it, and it means "The seat of St. Peter is vacant," although the direct translation from Latin would not include the part about Peter.

I see, now, why they haven't ever formed a separate church. Part of their problem with Vatican II is its embrace of ecumenism, so the sedevacantists are in a Catch 22 situation where they see the RCC as the one true church, outside of which salvation is impossible, but they also see the leadership of that church as illegitimate, so if they leave the church formally, they are condemned, but if they don't, they have to deal with an impostor leading their church which, I assume, while not good, is preferable to eternal damnation.

Sorry, I've got a lot of catching up to do one my Roman Catholic Church internal politics.

I think you all need to maybe just get right with the idea that the Roman Catholic Church doesn't have the only path to salvation as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Wesley did, and just go full schism.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

The way I read that, you don't need to be a member of any particular denomination, or any denomination at all, to be saved.

Incidentally, thanks for the thread and the friendly discussion. These threads so often descend into a Catholic vs. Protestant thing and I'm not interested in re-fighting the 30 Years War, or starting any Troubles, or nailing any Theses to any doors, but there's a Way out of this that doesn't involve reluctantly living under the tyranny of a false pope, and it's Jesus Christ, wherever you spend your time on Sunday mornings.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate your studied questions!

The protestant/catholic differance is more than just about the papacy. Shopping around for a church that suits "me" is not my goal. Its not a buffet! Lol I try to follow the teaching of Christ according to Scripture and Tradition. Especially His teaching on the Eucharist which is not recognized fully in any protestant church.

John 6:56-58

54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.


I too, am also VERY glad that we've managed to get to three pages w/o the descent into the usual chaos. Lol

While Frank is busying himself with intrigues and leading the church into communism and pluralism as quickly as humanly possible, the real Bishop is still reclining back at the Eucharist table telling the world to love each other.

Frank, you had one job. You're fired.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

The way I read that, you don't need to be a member of any particular denomination, or any denomination at all, to be saved.

Incidentally, thanks for the thread and the friendly discussion. These threads so often descend into a Catholic vs. Protestant thing and I'm not interested in re-fighting the 30 Years War, or starting any Troubles, or nailing any Theses to any doors, but there's a Way out of this that doesn't involve reluctantly living under the tyranny of a false pope, and it's Jesus Christ, wherever you spend your time on Sunday mornings.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate your studied questions!

The protestant/catholic differance is more than just about the papacy. Shopping around for a church that suits "me" is not my goal. Its not a buffet! Lol I try to follow the teaching of Christ according to Scripture and Tradition. Especially His teaching on the Eucharist which is not recognized fully in any protestant church.

John 6:56-58

54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.


I too, am also VERY glad that we've managed to get to three pages w/o the descent into the usual chaos. Lol

I get it. I'm not saying become Baptist or Pentecostal. I'm saying you and your fellow semi-schismatics start your own Sedevacantist Catholic Church and do communion (and everything else) in a way that suits you according to your understanding of Scripture. Good Christians can differ on some things and still be Christian. At least that's the way I do Christianity. I believe all my Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Russian Orthodox, etc. brothers and sisters in Christ are just as saved by the Grace of our Lord and Savior as am I. I can tell you're suffering under the current leadership of your Church and you shouldn't have to. It's similar to the reason we left the United Methodist Church a few years ago, but came back when we heard there was a return to Methodist Orthodoxy coming.
