Bad Popes And Historical Perspective

In case you think it never happened before that a Pope goes around spreading heretical messages or beliefs (though not proclaiming them dogmatically; we are not there yet), this is a sobering reading from the always great priests of the SSPX.

You may want to take the time to read the SSPX “Letter to Friends and Benefactors” No. 78, of April 2011 in its entirety. You find the text in its original setting here. Please note this letter, in part, quotes an older text, which is why then Cardinal Ratzinger is called “your Eminence”. 

I have allowed myself to reproduce here the parts which I think are relevant for today’s post. Emphasis in the original.

[…] On Sunday, December 11, 1983, the Pope preached in a Protestant church of Rome after having more or less invited himself to do so. […]

    Mundabor my friend,

    Thank you again for another great post. I asked for some help understanding Infallibility and you provided!

    You said:
    “You, my dear readers, will do nothing of all this. You will remain steadfast in your faith in our One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church no matter what should happen. You know that no generation of Christians has not been challenged, and those who have been challenged the most have created a solid foundation for the faith in the centuries to come.

    No panic, no desperation, and no Sedevacantism. This will be, very probably, a rough ride.”

    Holy Mother Church provides us with the spiritual weapons to stay the course!

    The Pope’s behavior reminds me of a scene in Pinocchio (original not Disney)

    “Pinocchio does excellently in school and passes with high honors. The Fairy promises that Pinocchio will be a real boy next day and says he should invite all his friends to a party. He goes to invite everyone, but he is sidetracked when he meets a boy nicknamed Lampwick who is about to go to a place called Toyland, where everyone plays all day and never works. Pinocchio goes along with him and they have a wonderful time until one morning Pinocchio and Lampwick awake with donkey ears. A squirrel tells Pinocchio that boys who do nothing but play and never work always grow into donkeys.”

    We must keep our focus on the Eternal Love we are guaranteed after we pass our test! If we fall we cannot blame Lampwick for leading us! When revolutionaries offer us “Heaven on Earth” we must refuse the invitation!

    God Bless you and your readers,
    Sean
