( Pope in parenthesis. )
No, not the SSPX - they accept Pope Francis as the legitimate Pope.
Novus Ordo Watch will take you in.
Escape the Novus Ordo - leave the modernist sect behind! Become a Sedevacantist. All of your problems will go away - who needs a pope anyway? Reject the impostor church. Resist Peter to his face.
Priests will have to be re-ordained however - if you were ordained in the new ritual, your ordination doesn't count. No Sodomite clergy either. (You'll just have to wait it out.)
Novus Ordo Watch is pleased to be the sponsor for Escape from the Novus Ordo. Donations always welcome. No mercy though. No communion without a Traditional baptism/confirmation and/or marriage certificate.
Just remember however: All are not welcome - unless they are worthy. You'll be tested.
Who was the last Pope?
Do you want to bomb the hell out of Syria?
Who was the last reigning pontiff?
Do you renounce communion in the hand?
Can you pray the Pater Noster in Latin?
Are you relaxed? Happy? You can't be happy and Catholic.
What is a maniple?
Can you say the Latin name of the last Pope?
Can you admit NFP is contraception?
Will you burn all books printed after 1960?
Are all non-Catholics going to hell?
Song for this post here. (Substitute words in the chorus with Novus Ordo.)
I go on a Novus Ordo watch every Sunday morning at 9:30. I take careful mental notes. I tell my kids to do the same.
ReplyDeleteLove the stab at Fr Z and his "parentheses" lol. However I disagree with you on the SSPX acknowledging comment.
ReplyDeleteOnly for the sake of carrying out the EF liturgy to all its requirements, they acknowledge Pope Francis, as well as to not give ammunition for formal excommunication to Rome.
The truth is in the mindset of the SSPX and their adherents they do not acknowledge the Pope. Of they do they call him Modernist aka heretic, and so while in "heresy" the Pope is not to be respected or followed. Their "acknowledgement" is the same as pretending he does not exist at all, because the man in the white suit in Peter's Chair has no authority on account of being a modernist heretic with an evil liturgy so deformed it cannot be a valid and licit liturgy.
They may not be formally schismatic on paper, but their actions, minds, and hearts are not with that of the Church. They are separated for a reason.
They are too much of accepting him (or most, I have heard of an exception) for the conscience of a sede.
Delete"Oremus una cum papa nostro" does not mean "let us pray for our apparent occupant of Vatican".
Even if they think it can be reconstrued into meaning it.

ReplyDeleteTerry!
Amusing post ... glad I cannot relate one iota but I found this link amusing and I hope you will too.
What happened to all that mercy? No mercy of the folks who just want the faith served up straight? Alrighty then :)
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that much of the Catholic blogosphere is sedevacantist at heart. There is no doubt in my mind that they would reject Jesus Christ if he was walking the earth today. He would refuse to march to their tune, and therefore he would be renounced as a heretic, just as they do to His Vicar.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree. When Christ said no servant is greater than his master - if they harried me they will harry you. The Holy Father is witness to that. I'm in awe some days.
DeleteAre you sure all who reject him are doing so for Pharisaical motives?
DeleteNote, he is a VERY good friend, not rejected, by one Rabbi Skorka, as I recall.
I have completed a little questionnaire provided in blog post:
ReplyDeleteWho was the last Pope?
DeleteLast common to Catholic Chuirch and the Catholic history accepted by Vatican II SEct of whom I am certain is Pius XI.
Do you want to bomb the hell out of Syria?
As far as I know, bombing is not allowed. Pius XII - of whose papacy there are serious doubts - seems to have compared the operation refused by St Gianna Molla Beretta (or venerable, but I don't think her canonicity is as doubtful as her canonisation) to bombing a military goal close to civilians and distinguisghed between intention and known side effect.
If a side effect is known beforehand, intending the action is intending the side effect.
Who was the last reigning pontiff?
The last we agree on, or the last? Pius XI or Pope Michael.
Do you renounce communion in the hand?
Unless there be a piece of linen in the hand and a bow be made as deep as the Eastern version of proskynesis, the only pious thing is communion in the mouth and on one's knees.
Can you pray the Pater Noster in Latin?
Possum, sed hic non facio. Ita Ave Maria melius precor latine quam francogallice.
Are you relaxed? Happy? You can't be happy and Catholic.
Says who?
What is a maniple?
Sth a priest has around his wrist.
Can you say the Latin name of the last Pope?
Pius papa undecimus sive Michael papa.
Can you admit NFP is contraception?
No, I insist.
Will you burn all books printed after 1960?
No.
Are all non-Catholics going to hell?
Depends (Pope Michael, unlike Alejandro IX is not Feeneyite). Some apparent non-Catholics are obviously not going to Hell, since they later convert openly, like St Eustace, of whom Our Lord said He had been pleased with him (while he was still a Pagan). However, if someone rejects a real chance (real, not just outwardly apparent - and not necessarily shown as such a one either, it may be a secret real one) of becoming a Catholic, he is chosing Hell.
You are a good sport - my questionnaire was simply a for fun. Thanks Hans.
Delete"Maybe think he's an anti-pope? Or worse?"
ReplyDeleteBERGOGLIO in majuscules is in usage, that is how it is written in his passport.
Now, ASCII Code values for majuscules of the Latin letters without accents and not borrowed from runes, namely those also called English alphabet, are a range from A=65 to Z=90.
You do a chart, you do the addition.
My conclusion is, if Ratzinger was an antipope, Bergoglio is worse.
