MATT Fradd's thoughts on Bishop VIGANO, Schism and EXCOMMUNICATION ! ( @PintsWithAquinas )

Can he be excommunicated and right on the issues at the same time?

4th Commandment "Honor your Mother and Father". The Holy Father is our Spiritual Father here on earth as given to us by Jesus Christ Himself.

Dear Joseph. Glory to God, and thank you for your efforts and dedication to Catholic apologetics, and tackling hard issues head on. It is very refreshing to see new, young, zealous, and faithful members of the Church use their gifts and talents to evangelise and promote rigorous orthodox teaching from reliable sources, expanding on those and sharing both their fruits and consequences. We live in disturbing times. The family, the self, the priesthood, the Magisterium, and the very nature of what is right and good, are all under attack, even within the Church herself. Let us cling to Christ, our Father, and the balm of the Spirit. Let us chew on His words in Mt 16, recognise that he chose and ordained even the worst sinners from among His most intimate group, and uses even disordered men to fulfil His Will. My prayers go with you!

What message does it send when priest who have done much worse go unpunished? It says that tradition is the only sin punished by the Vatican. The dogma of the Papacy is the weakness of the Roman Church.

You do a great job. Thank you, JD.

The New Martin Luther

This Pope condemns Vigano and everybody who stands for tradition but then turns around and praises James Martin, can you make sense of that?

Thanks for explaining this situation

Martin Luther taught that we should embrace excommunication and Vigano had this in his manifesto. I believe it was item 24.

JD Catholic gave a great example with the teacher when we stand before God at judgment" that's not fair I wasn't nearly as disrespectful to my parents as my brother was I have to go to purgatory too!"

Thankfully Matt Fradd checks himself now. He still throws seeds of division like catholics are infighting. No, all sensible and good catholics, completely stand with Pope Francis and everything he teaches cause we submit our will and intellect to the Holy Father and the Magesterium. He is completely clear to us.

you can write to the Vatican but the Curia won't necessarily pass it on

Our Lord told us that the spirit will guide the church to truth. I can't understand why all the fuss about "traditions" that doesn't have anything to do with dogmas. The gates of hell will not prevail against it. 2000 years and counting.

People would be better off reading the Catechism and actually understanding theb position of their own church, instead of blaming Vatican 2.

I drank the Viganò punch at first. Yes, he made many great points. But, in the end, his denial of Francis as Pope is excommunicable.

One wonders why Francis would excommunicate anyone? In his 2/2/2022 papal audience he claimed "no one can exclude themselves from the Church" and that even apostates belong to the communion of saints. What does an excommunication from Francis mean?

I wonder what Master Jan Hus would have replied to the priest's statement about schism being bad while undergoing martyrdom. For every murderous inquisition there has always been a Hussite.

“We must fight for the church not against it.”

When I hear the claim of “what about the others…” it appears so adolescent and your analogy is spot on! Thank you!

Pray pray pray. Pray for our Church and all the clergies. May God's will be done🙏
