Oh only if they knew that Ramadan is just a watered down, less extreme version of Catholic lent. This was how it was established after all, once the Mohammedans saw the Christians rigorously fasting for 46 days, they made a pathetic perversion of it.

Covid vaccine is also made with aborted Caucasian baby lungs. Sorry Catholics, your pope belongs to Satan now.

Time to become Orthodox.

First of all, no.

Second of all, real Catholics have all written this guy off as a Mason a long time ago. They’re not buying this.

Finally, the relative piety of the Bishop of Rome has absolutely nothing to do with Catholicism. The Church has had terrible popes in the past, and the Church still stands. It’ll stand long after Francis is gone. If every saint who saw the Medici popes abandoned the Church the church would’ve collapsed centuries ago. It still stands today, in spite of all the corruption (which isn’t new or even because of V2) because of Christ’s promise to Peter:

You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, AND THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT.

Hail Christ!

Big brain Lauren telling us that the Pope is a satanic communist and modernist heretic like every other orthodog as if we don’t already tell people that ourselves lmfao. These people know nothing about the papacy, ecclesiology or the dogma of papal infallibility and they never fail to make that clear.

Hey Lauren, do us a favour and read St. Robert Bellarmine. Thanks.

Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae
Regarding Americanism

Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII promulgated on January 22, 1899:

http://www.catholicapologetics.info/thechurch/encyclicals/americanism.htm

What is Americanism?

"The heresy of Americanism was condemned by Pope Leo XIII is the denial of the influence of the Church's social doctrine in the civil domain. Its ultimate consequence is the denial of the rights of God and the supernatural order. It is a denial of the supernatural order established by God. This heresy is called "Americanism" because Pope Leo XIII wrote his encyclical (Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae) to Cardinal James Gibbons, condemning the false notion of Catholicism that he was working to establish in the newly founded continent of America which was founded by non-Catholics. This meant that Cardinal Gibbons and a number of other prelates tried to compromise with the false principles as were enshrined in the American constitution. Americanism it is not a condemnation of America as such but a condemnation of the false notions as introduced into the faith by means of the American prelates. It is more than ever important to remove the blindfold in this regard since many Catholics while claiming to be Catholics are not Catholic but "Americanists" who deny the influence of Christ and His Church in the social sphere. For this reason, Americanism leads to the Public denial of Christ the King and ultimately to the destruction of society since there can never be a true peace without Christ, the Prince of Peace."


"We must repeat with the utmost energy in these times of social and intellectual anarchy when everyone takes upon himself to teach as a teacher and lawmaker - the City cannot be built otherwise than as God has built it; society cannot be set up unless the Church lays the foundations and supervises the work; no, civilization is not something yet to be found, nor is the new City to be built on hazy notions; it has been in existence and still is: it is Christian civilization, it is the Catholic City. It has only to be set up and restored continually against the unremitting attacks of insane dreamers, rebels and miscreants." - Pope St. Pius X, Nostre charge apostolique.

ON THE ORIGIN OF CIVIL POWER
DIUTURNUM

Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII promulgated on June 29, 1881:

ON THE CHRISTIAN CONSTITUTION OF STATES
IMMORTALE DEI

Also by Pope Leo XIII:

http://www.catholicapologetics.info/thechurch/encyclicals/constitution.htm

What we can draw from Leo XIII's teachings is that Christ is indeed first, not Weimerika.

Reminder that BoB (Baptism of Blood) does not apply to those who are killed for professing Christ yet obstinately remain outside the Church.

"No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved, unless he remains within the bosom and the unity of the Catholic Church." - Council of Florence

A Prot, Ortho or Copt who does not do Gods will cannot be saved, as God wills for them to join His Church.

"Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 7:21

Subdue your senses,
Sharpen your mind,
Cleanse your heart.

Psalm 19:14

14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

Solid book for download. Looks like it goes up to the papacy of Pius XII and covers everything before that.

A response to people who misunderstand St. Augustine’s teachings on the condemnation of heretics and [invincible and non-invincible] ignorance:

__St. Augustine: "Those are by no means to be accounted heretics who do not defend their false and perverse opinions with pertinacious zeal (animositas), especially when their error is not the fruit of audacious presumption but has been communicated to them by seduced and lapsed parents, and when they are seeking the truth with cautious solicitude and ready to be corrected" Ergo, material heretics are not to be said to be outside the Church if they explicitely desire to adhere to all she teaches, and err out of confusion/ignorance.

It is said that Ignorance with ready composure to be corrected does not place on outside the Church. Though, what they do not realise is that both of these quotes are on heretics who have yet to make public their heresy. Augustine evidently supports that occult heretics are outside the Church. If someone in ignorance denies a dogma then he does not have Christ for his Head because Christ would not allow him to profess heresy; and if he does not have Christ for his head, he is not inside the Church.

Bapt. 4,16 “...non solum separatus habendus est...” Unit. Ecc., 25, diz “...et tamen jam non sunt in Ecclesia...”
⁃ S. Augustinus__

Objection:

“So then, a person who errs innocently, without intent to deviate from dogma, is damned? Even if they still possess full intent to obey the Catholic Church? A confused Catholic who desires to remain true to the deposit of faith can exist, and certainly does exist.”

Answer:

Even if one of us were wrong it wouldn’t be heresy, it would “merely” be error. You must make the appropriate distinction between something which is heresy and something which is error, etc. Heresy pertains to Dogma and as such only to Public Revelation. You cannot deny Hell or the Ressurection and still be considered to be inside the mystical body of the Church.

__So, I can only state speculatively that someone who remains their entire life after baptism and calling themselves Catholic but also denying Hell and etc is probably at least going to purgatory to say the least...

If his heart did not intend to deviate from Christs Church, then he is not severed. Heresy requires intent. __

Ask yourself this:

So the 72% of French Catholics who deny hell are inside the Church because they don’t mean to say they’re outside Her?

Objection:

__I can not possibly judge every single one of them. If they know the Church teaches Hell is real, yet choose to deny the Church, they are objectively severed and are formal heretics.

If they desire to adhere to all Catholic Dogma yet err because their grandpa told them false information, then they are not outside the Church. Material Heresy cannot possibly cut you off. __

Answer:

__This is exactly like mortal sin. If you murder someone with the intention of murdering him but without knowing it’s a mortal sin, does it cease being a mortal sin?
Christ would not permit them to err like that if He gave them Supernatural Faith: Hence, they are outside the Church. The act of falling into heresy is damnable in itself, not just the staying in it.__

Jay Dyer is a disgrace to orthodoxy. The one thing the East is good as is the sense of the mystical, the eternal, and these are found in the Saints and doctors of the Greeks prior to the schism (yes they have some good ones after as well, like John of Kronstadt).

IF you’re going to listen to an orthodox perspective on the internet, listen to Fr. Josiah Trenham or Bishop Kalistos Ware. Don’t listen to internet “theologians” by Jay Dyer.
