New Survey: Should the Pope be Catholic?

New Survey: Should the Pope be Catholic?

I guess the real question is: would a Catholic kiss the Koran, a book which describes Christians as worse than swine urine and that gives liberty to kill Christians who do not deny Christ and accept Islam? Is a Catholic one who receives a blessing from a Hindu priestess in the form of dried cow dung? Is a Catholic one who would allow pagans from all over the world to occupy Holy Churches in Assisi and practice idolatry in theses Churches?

Isn’t a Catholic instead more like our Holy Martyr, St. Peter, who would not compromise his faith at the hands of the Pagan Roman? Isn’t a Catholic one instead who would leave the comfort of his homeland, give up his life for Christ to convert the Native peoples of Canada, like St. Jean de Brebeuf and St. Isaac Jogues, who died a martyr’s death? Isn’t a Catholic more like the many more martyrs who died for their faith in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union ?

"The gates of hell will never prevail" (Matthew 16: 18)

Frequently we hear that the presence of a Pope is necessary to substantiate Christ’s promise. Subordinating Christ’s promise of “the gates of hell will never prevail" to the continuity of the Papacy is a fallacy. Christ is not a liar; He could not mean that we would always have a Pope. The fact is that between Popes there are periods of “No Pope” or sedevacante. Of course this is obvious.

For the sake of the uninitiated (those who are not conversant in traditional polemics) sedevacante is the period of time between Popes. Therefore at times there is NO Pope. If there is “No” Pope then logically Christ’s promise does not apply to this situation. (Unless you believe that Christ is a liar.)

Christ’s promise does not apply to these periods of sedevacante. This is a very simple argument. Christ’s promise is not that narrow and his love for us is too great to disappoint us during periods of “No Pope”.

Of course you may ask why a Catholic would believe there is no Pope at other times.

Well, it is very simple. Many Catholics believe that a Pope must first be Catholic. Simple, right? Yes it is simple. This means that the Vicar of Christ must uphold the Holy Scripture, Holy Tradition and the mageisterium. Catholic theology is not consistent with prayer with pagans, false ecumenism with Protestants, praying with Moslems toward Mecca, and a host of other actions the Novus Ordo Bishop of Rome has done over the past 40 years.

How has Christ kept his promise? Well, despite, the infestation of modernism in the Novus Ordo Church a Catholic can find valid sacraments through many validly ordained priests and bishops throughout the world. Christ is still found in many tabernacles throughout the world. Although, our opportunity to find a valid Mass has greatly been reduced by the promulgation of the Novus Ordo Missae, enough validly ordained priests and bishops have kept the flame alive. Praise God for these servants of God.

As St. Athanasius once said during the Arian heresy “they have the buildings but we have the faith”.

Make them prove it

The Novus Ordo San Diego Diocese continues to be plagued by attorneys representing approximately 150 alleged sexual abuse victims against Novus Ordo priests. So far the Novus Ordo diocese has not elected to make any of these alleged victims prove their cases in court.

One wonders how many of theses trials might expose the high level of homosexual pedophilia that may have been allowed to have exist on or near the tables set in the Churches where the holy altars of our Lord once stood. (Remember the vast majority of these churches used to offer the sacrifice of the mass on altars to our Lord). These altars and tabernacle were torn down and the tabernacles were moved to another location. Now these Churches are equipped with tables envisioned by Martin Luther where a service similar to Lutheran Mass is performed.

One has to assume that Novus Order Bishop Brom won’t allow the Novis Ordo Diocese to defend itself against these allegation because many of these allegations are true and defending the allegation may be extremely inflammatory, may cause rapid decrease in attendance at Mass, and a decrease in revenue.

Currently, the Novus Odor has declared bankruptcy which essentially is an admission of fault and allows the court to divide assets among its creditors (alleged victims). The argument now is not if these crimes were committed but how much money does the Dioceses have and how much goes to each victim.

Currently the Diocese contends it does not own its parishes. The plantif attorneys contends that all parishes are owned by the diocese therefore appraised values of these churches should be added to the big pie and allow more money to go the attorneys and alleged victims..

The court will look at four parishes to determine if these are owned by the Diocese or the parishioners. Theses parishes are: All Hallow's in La Jolla, St. Mark's in San Marcos, St. John of the Cross in Lemon Grove and St. Margaret's in Oceanside.

As the Diocese, attorneys and the court argue how much the Novus Ordo Church is worth the real losers in this process will be the faithful Catholic in the pew. These are Catholics that withstood, liberal priests, nuns, communion in the hand, the imposition of the Lutheran Mass, the tearing down of their altars etc. Whether these attorney get 90Million, $200million or ½ a billion, ultimately the parishioners will pay the price.
One wonders when Catholics will wake up, demand a return to their faith, sacraments, demand their Churches back and demand a true priesthood.
