In many ways, I’m rooting for these folks at “Church Militant”. Not only does the main character, Michael Voris, S.T.B. (Bachelor of Sacred Theology) have a cool Donald Trump-style haircut, but he challenges the left wing of the Roman Catholic Church the way Donald Trump challenges the left wing of the Democrat party.
Here, he states the problem clearly, and he names the names of those he perceives to be the enemy (which is essentially the top-level hierarchy.)
These guys seem to be the most focused among the many conservative Roman Catholic groups, especially on this one issue. As he says, this is going to be a “never ending story” vs the “pro-gay Team Francis”. “Team Francis has gone insane”, he says, trying to say that Archbishop Vigano (who spilled the beans on Bergoglio and McCarrick) is “lying, distorting, vengeful, political, ideological”, etc.
“Church Militant” seems to be well-funded, and they offer slick, professionally-done productions. Voris makes a clear and solid case (and has done so over time) that the hierarchy (now including “Pope Francis”) is a major part of the problem.
These guys are going to be going at it for a long time.
Even though I disagree with Voris and have been banned to the abyss by his website I still like what he is doing against the evil of his church. To be bad he is not biblically sound.
ReplyDeleteYup, they may think all of us should be burned at the stake in a properly run Catholic state, but they are rightly on the warpath on these issues. And it's going to become harder and harder for the to avoid sedevacantism as time goes on. Because I believe they are going to lose this war in the Catholic Church. Indeed, I believe it has already been lost some time ago, and the homo-hierarchy will simply sit out the current little storm and continue to reign triumphant.
ReplyDeleteI don't think "sedevacantism" is going to be a big enough term to describe what's going to be happening in the near future. I believe you are correct in saying that the "homo-hierarchy" will "simply sit out the current storm" and continue to "reign triumphant". Bergoglio has all his people in place, and when he is gone, his "successor" will be his own hand-picked disciple seems to be a growing possibility all the time. And "the Church" will simply turn into one big happy place for cultural Marxists.
DeleteSo for a small-ish group of conservative Roman Catholics, then, to cry "sedevacantism", it's simply going to be a case of the tail wagging the dog. The more conservatives there are, the more it's just simply going to look like a full-blown schism. There will be some who claim to still be "in the Church", and "under the pope", but the institution at that point will have moved to the point at which there will be no discernible continuity with even the JPII "Church".
