Bishop X. If the Church irks you, start your own like Lefebvre did

Mgr Lefebvre, was a retired (emeritus) bishop with no jurisdiction, that is without any pastoral power over souls, so he could not possibly delegate to anyone a power which he himself no longer possessed.


AD APOSTOLORUM PRINCIPIS

40. And when We later addressed to you the letter Ad Sinarum gentem, We again referred to this teaching in these words: The power of jurisdiction which is conferred directly by divine right on the Supreme Pontiff comes to bishops by that same right, but only through the successor of Peter, to whom not only the faithful but also all bishops are bound to be constantly subject and to adhere both by the reverence of obedience and by the bond of unity."

Acts requiring the power of Holy Orders which are performed by ecclesiastics of this kind, though they are valid as long as the consecration conferred on them was valid, are yet gravely illicit, that is, criminal and sacrilegious.

The Masses of The SSPX are gravely illicit, criminal, and sacrilegious but those Protestants in Fiddlebacks are much beloved by some soi disant trads.

Lefebvre had no power or authority to confer anything on anyone and the fact is that his claim of the Church supplies is silly because there were actual Bishops with real jurisdiction and real power and authority then existing  even though Mons Lefevbre didn't like them or the Popes who consecrated them.

The sspx was doomed from the get go and so those who succor it are reduced to appealing to the claims about the sspx by a pope they routinely say is a heretic  


All schisms end badly and the SSPX is a Neo-Orthodox outfit that has become inured to existing without a Pope and there is no way the next Pope will be accepted by them as Bergolio has chosen over 50% of the Cardinals.

 The schism is dead - long live the schism.

Jesus Christ and his toxic masculinity is feared by The Hierarchy

Image
Apparently that is how Jesus Christ is conceived of by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy. They are forever blathering about His compassion and Mercy because they instinctively fear that His Law and His Commands represents toxic masculinity. Toxic is the adjective used by progressive commies to describe masculinity because they hate and fear men. The Prelature fears it may someday actually have to stand before His Judgment Seat and be judged with right judgment and so instead of the masculine Resurrected Jesus Christ that makes professional soldiers cringe in fear the Roman Catholic Prelature (go on, identify one Prelate whose physicality, bearing, truth-telling, and identifiably masculine presence is objectively recognisable) is constrained to lie to itself and us that Jesus Christ is just a poor itinerant preacher or a resurrected version of a merciful  Percy Dovetonsils because the Truth of Jesus Christ is a  truth  that they can not bear to face. Jesus Christ was never, u

Dicky Ticker and Pajamas

ABS has been an Oakland Raiders fan since 1960 and he has become inured to their poor play and so he spends his viewing time mocking their incompetence because that is what a true fan of professional entertainment does. What, if you paid good money to listen to Luciano Pavarotti sing Nessun Dorma * and you ended-up hearing him sound like Lemmy of  Motorhead, you wouldn't be perfectly within your rights to boo or mock  him? The Raiders defensive front four plays with all of the disarming intensity, and speed, of an old lady painstakingly searching the shelves for a bargain at The Christmas Tree Shop. Two of this front four are rookies. One, Maurice Hurst, from the University of Michigan, is burdened with a bad heart and other NFL teams would not draft him. Of course, The Raiders drafted him because bargain... ABS calls him Dicky Ticker ** The second rookie is a player from a small school college, Sam Houston State College, and although P.J. Hall is short, fat, and slow
