Many failed to recognise our Lord in his Resurrection. Those who insist that the Conciliar/Synodal Church is the Roman Catholic Church fall into the same trap.
Off topic, except for mention of the Rosary in the Conclusion, but I watched a recent interview with +Sanborn, in which he stated they no longer pray the Fatima prayer in the Rosary, as doing so would void the indulgence attached (ie., the argument being Our Lady did not give the Fatima prayer when she gave us the Rosary).
The issue of the right text or translation never emerged as a question in the Church in the years between Our Ldy’s appearances at Fatima and the death of Pius XII, and Bo Sanborn only refers to the opinion of an author ina book about Fatima for the conclusion that to use it would lose the indulgence, The Church did not take up the matter in 41 years. It was taken on good faith by millions who have used the Fatima prayer, on the basis that the Church approved of the apparitions, without cautions about the prayers. No one undertakes the prayer as a definite addition on someone’s arbitrary invention, but as the prayers were transmitted by proper authorities. It’s Bp Sanborn’s opinion, but as he reminds people in other matters, it’s his opinion only. I don’t see what that caveat wouldn’t apply to this case.
Bp Sanborn has strong opinions on many things that are incorrect. There are only laity to correct him though so his false opinions usually triumph in the minds of his adherents.
Heartfelt thanks for this rich & lucid essay! It’s a great encouragement now, as my wife & I have determined to go back to the basics, which were so mixed in with the mis-catechesis we both received in our respective dioceses long before we ever met. We now pray & believe as Catholics with clarity, not with souls baffled & perplexed by the doctrines of the changeling substituted for the Church six decades ago. The light of grace through the gift of Faith eliminates such perplexities, with a light never to be found within the misbegotten edifice of the Conciliar-Synodal construct.

Any opinions on that one?
Bp Sanborn? Do you have a link to the video?
See here, beginning at 12:47-

A very well written essay. The point that those who are its intended target audience will raise is that “traditionalists” lack unity of government.
How might we respond to this and how important is it for the nature of the Church?
